- •
Postural abnormalities are more common in people with emphysema.
- •
People with emphysema have more head protraction and greater scapular elevation.
- •
Postural differences exist between COPD patients and healthy individuals.
- •
CKD patients commonly develop muscle atrophy with an impairment of exercise tolerance.
- •
Randomized control trial with high-intensity IMT (70% MIP) for 5 weeks can reverse respiratory muscle strength loss.
- •
Five weeks of IMT did not change exercise capacity or vascular function.
- •
Overall confidence of reviews of exercise for low back pain was very low.
- •
Higher confidence was found in Cochrane reviews and reviews with registered protocol.
- •
Confidence in the results is important to generate unbiased clinical recommendations.
- •
Measurement properties of most physical activity questionnaires have not been fully tested.
- •
Construct validation and reliability of most physical activity questionnaires are not acceptable.
- •
Methodological quality of most studies were considered poor.
- •
There was a large effect of BTI combined with other strategies on postural control at short-term.
- •
Combining BTI with other intervention may enhance effects on postural control in young CP patients.
- •
Due to the very low quality of the current evidence, caution is needed.
- •
With active abduction, field hockey players have a larger AHD than controls
- •
AHD measurement may help decide who could benefit from AHD enlarging exercises
- •
Subacromial space enlargement may add to shoulder tenability and injury prevention. Targeting athletes with smaller acromiohumeral distance(s) with specific exercises may contribute to the tenability of the shoulder and add to shoulder injury prevention.
- •
Exercise practice influences the functional performance of community-dwelling elderly.
- •
Torque and power of the knee is related to the functional performance of the elderly.
- •
Quadriceps torque and power influence the functional performance of inactive elderly.
- •
The power of hamstrings influences the functional performance of active elderly.
- •
Aging reduces rib cage contribution and increase abdominal contribution.
- •
Aging increases end-inspiratory and end-expiratory chest wall volumes.
- •
Sitting position might benefit patients who present reduced tidal volume.
- •
Posture influences all variables of breathing pattern and chest wall motion, except respiratory rate and duty cycle.
- •
Women present higher thoracic contribution to the tidal volume.
- •
The bridge test with knee extension is a valid test to measure core stability.
- •
Trunk rotators strength predicts the performance during this test.
- •
Hip extensors and internal rotators strength can also predict the performance during the test.
- •
Addressing these muscles might be important in people with poor performance during the bridge test.
- •
The LCADL%total reflected better outcomes for COPD when compared to LCADLtotal.
- •
The 28% cut-off point for LCADL has clinically relevant discriminatory power.
- •
The LCADLtotal may compromise the interpretation of the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program effects.
