- •
The AIMS normative age scale is appropriate for Brazilian infants.
- •
The sequence of gross motor development for Brazilian infants is similar to Canadian infants.
- •
Ages of attainment vary for some items between samples.
- •
We identified the ICF categories relevant to describe the problems and resources of women in the postpartum period.
- •
The list of ICF categories comprises all components of the ICF framework.
- •
Physical therapists had a higher agreement about the relevant aspects for the assessment of the postpartum women.
- •
ICF can be used for professionals in this category to improve their evaluations and clinical practice.
- •
There are overlapping sources of symptoms in patients with low back pain (LBP).
- •
A hypothesis-driven, probabilistic approach may therefore be needed.
- •
This model integrates the principles of mechanism, location, and mechanical input.
- •
The utilization of this model may help to develop reflection on and in action.
- •
In recent years virtual reality (VR) has been used alone and as an adjunct intervention in the treatment of patients with cerebral palsy (CP).
- •
VR plus conventional rehabilitation can improve upper limb function and lower limb strength in patients with CP.
- •
VR alone is no better than other treatments to improve upper and lower limb function in patients with CP.
- •
VR alone can improve postural control, balance, and lower limb function in patients with CP.
- •
Further research is needed to better define the effectiveness of VR in patients with CP.
- •
The Spanish FMA-LE can be recommended for evaluation of motor impairment in stroke.
- •
Intra- and interrater reliability of the Spanish FMA-LE was excellent.
- •
Wider use of FMA-LE would allow worldwide comparisons of stroke recovery.
- •
People with PD with executive dysfunction have multiple motor, sensory, and balance impairments
- •
Executive dysfunction is an independent risk factor for falls in people with PD
- •
Balance and executive function interventions may prevent falls in people with PD
- •
The use of the ProFibro app for six weeks was not more effective than the use of a traditional paper book with similar content for health-related quality of life, symptoms, or self-care agency in individuals with fibromyalgia.
- •
Improvements on severity of symptoms in both groups suggest that the self-care program using a mobile app or a paper book may be beneficial in individuals with fibromyalgia.
- •
The Sleep Strategies was the most used function of the ProFibro app, followed by the Exercise Program, and the diary for the practice of gratitude.
- •
The “early CPAP” protocol was implemented using intermediate pressures of 6–7 cmH2O.
- •
A decrease in intubation rate and days of invasive ventilation were observed.
- •
A reduction of exogenous surfactant use and length of hospital stay were observed.
- •
The protocol used simple and affordable equipment and could be reproduced.
- •
Hip extensors (HEX) torque was able to predict hip external rotators (HER) torque.
- •
Both measures were strongly correlated in adults and older individuals.
- •
There is no difference between directly measured and predicted values of HER torque.
- •
The prediction equation was valid and accurate to estimate HER torque.
