- •
It is hypothesized that Kinesio Taping® can change muscle activity in patients with low back pain.
- •
The Kinesio Taping® technique did not change the electromyographic signal intensity of the longissimus and iliocostalis muscles or reduce pain intensity in patients with chronic low back pain.
- •
More research on mechanisms of action is needed.
- •
146 patients were rehabilitated by a mobile health program after arthroplasty
- •
Physical activity (PA) was recorded each day by means of fitness trackers
- •
Patient reached their pre-operative physical activity level at 7-week post-surgery
- •
This study identified predictors for physical activity recovery
- •
Huffing, HFOO, PEP and volume-based techniques were the most prescribed.
- •
Important regional differences were found across the country.
- •
Age influences the recommendation of techniques.
- •
PEDro is a free global resource to support evidence-based physical therapy
- •
PEDro indexes trials, reviews, and guidelines of physical therapy interventions
- •
PEDro web-site, newsletter, videos, and social media are available in Portuguese
- •
Trials are pre-appraised with the PEDro scale (Portuguese version available)
- •
Keep up to date in 15 areas of practice with PEDro’s ‘Evidence in your inbox’
- •
Language is a barrier to implementing research evidence into practice.
- •
Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) content is available in 13 languages.
- •
English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, and French PEDro content is used the most.
- •
Region-specific promotion of the underused PEDro content may facilitate global usage.
- •
Awareness and collaboration between stakeholders could reduce the language barrier.
- •
Movement inefficiency and/or impaired stability and mobility increase athletic injury risk.
- •
The movement system screening tool was developed to assess athletic injury risk factors.
- •
The presented novel screen is a valid and reliable assessment of movement performance.
- •
Hip/knee flexion was associated with runners anterior reach distance in the modified star excursion balance test.
- •
Hip flexion was associated with the posteromedial and knee flexion with the posterolateral reach.
- •
Hip extensor strength was associated with posteromedial, posterolateral and composite reaches.
- •
Trunk kinematics and strength were not associated with runners’ performance in this test.
- •
The effects of hypertension on physical function should be considered.
- •
Compared to normotensives hypertensives had slower processing speed.
- •
Balance and mobility was decreased more in hypertensives than normotensives.
- •
The fear of falling was higher in the hypertensives compared to normotensives.
- •
Clinicians should include preventive and rehabilitative strategies in hypertensives.
- •
Tonus, strength, and motor coordination are associated with walking speed reserve.
- •
LEMOCOT may be used to predict walking speed reserve.
- •
Exercises aimed at improving lower limb motor coordination may have the potential to improve walking speed reserve.
- •
Posture influences cardiovascular responses during isometric handgrip exercise.
- •
STANDING promotes higher cardiovascular stress when compared to SITTING and/or SUPINE.
- •
CAD promoted higher arterial pressure responses (systolic and mean arterial pressure), but it was expected.
- •
Isometric handgrip exercise can be prescribed to clinically stable CAD patients, with cardiovascular monitoring.
