- •
It is commonly believed that hip dysfunctions have been responsible for PFP onset.
- •
Several forms of treatment (HE, QE and SE) can be effective in decreasing PFPS pain.
- •
Only interventions with strengthening exercises were able to change movement patterns.
- •
More effective rehabilitation programs should focus on the deficits presented by individuals in their initial evaluations.
- •
95% confidence interval identified more doubtful points than other studied methods.
- •
Correction techniques do not influence the final set of RR intervals.
- •
Selection methods may interfere with the quantity–quality of RR intervals.
- •
The 256-point selection appears to be more sensitive to changes in autonomic function.
- •
Older people with MCI or mild AD presented a high prevalence of falls during the 6-month follow up.
- •
A dual-task test can be used as a screening tool for determining risk of falls in people with MCI.
- •
The dual-task in this experiment did not predict falls among people with mild AD.
- •
Deficit in pectoralis minor flexibility was associated with scapular asymmetry at rest.
- •
Deficit in posterior capsule flexibility was associated with scapular asymmetry at rest.
- •
No relationship was found between flexibility deficit and scapular asymmetry during arm elevation.
- •
Children with cerebral palsy have variable degrees of respiratory muscle weakness.
- •
IMT improves respiratory muscle strength, trunk control and exercise capacity in these children.
- •
IMT also improves daily living activities and quality of life.
- •
Prevalence of knee OA in former athletes was 30.0% (95% CI 20.0 to 40.0%).
- •
Low-quality evidence suggests that this is likely to change with high-quality studies.
- •
Diagnostic criteria for knee OA and sport modality may impact on estimated prevalence.
- •
Eccentric training strengthens the quadriceps muscle.
- •
Eccentric training increases muscle thickness and fascicle length.
- •
NMES do not change adaptations to eccentric training in healthy subjects.
- •
Cardiac rehabilitation is not widely available and is underutilized, especially in low and middle-income countries.
- •
Only forty-one cardiac rehabilitation programs were identified and most of them where privately-funded.
- •
All core components of cardiac rehabilitation are not offered.
- •
All programs had a physical therapist on staff.
- •
This study examined the influence of glaucoma on gait, functional tests and fall risk.
- •
Visual contrast sensitivity and proprioception were different between glaucoma and control groups.
- •
Dynamic Gait Index-Brazil score was significantly different between glaucoma and control groups.
- •
Glaucoma group spent more time to perform the Timed Up and Go test than control group.
- •
Glaucoma group presented higher fall risk compared to the control group.
- •
Lower limb and trunk muscle strength are associated with comfortable/maximum gait speed in patients with sub-acute stroke.
- •
Non-paretic dorsiflexors and left trunk lateral flexors predict comfortable/maximum gait speed in sub-acute stroke.
- •
The effects of strengthening in these muscles on post-stroke gait speed need more investigation.
