The serratus anterior (SA) is associated with shoulder painful conditions.

This paper reviews the anatomy, kinesiology, and pathokinesiology of the SA.

This paper describes and illustrates exercises that specifically target the activation of the SA.

This paper can help clinicians develop exercises that specifically challenge the SA.

HRV is used to assess cardiac autonomic modulation.

HRV is useful to assess the effect of physical exercise programmes.

What are the common shortcomings of using the HRV methodology?

What are the recommendations of using HRV collection and analysis methods?

Checklist regarding the use of the HRV collection and analysis methodology.

This study investigated the influence between pelvis–trunk–shoulder.

Active reduction of anterior pelvic tilt decreased trunk extension.

Active reduction of anterior pelvic tilt increased lower trapezius activity.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome patients had losses in hip muscle strength.

Flexion and rotation movements are reduced in FAI syndrome patients.

Reduced hip strength and motion should be considered during rehabilitation programs.

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.

Wheelchair basketball players with shoulder pain get localized pain sensitivity.

Basketball players without shoulder pain had similar pressure pain sensitivity.

Elite wheelchair basketball players with shoulder pain get active trigger points.

The referred pain elicited by active trigger points reproduced shoulder pain.

Basketball players without shoulder pain get similar latent trigger points.

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.

Lymphedema reduces the quality of life of patients after breast cancer.

Objective measurement of lymphedema is essential to monitor treatment.

Circumference and costly measurements are inaccurate for irregular surfaces.

CVV volumes were statistically equal to those of the overflow method.

CVV volumes were closer to the actual volume of the phantom.

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.
