Michel GCAM Mertens, Mira Meeus, Olivier Verborgt, Enrique Lluch Girbes, Silvia Mena-Del Horno, Marta Aguilar-Rodriguez, Lirios Dueñas, Santiago Navarro-Ledesma, Manuel Fernandez-Sanchez, Alejandro Luque-Suarez, Filip Struyf
Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27:100539
Highlights

  • Most functional impairments the patients experience improve in the short-term.

  • Shoulder rotation at 90° abduction continues to improve in the long-term.

  • Proprioception does not change in the clinical course of frozen shoulder.

  • Direct longitudinal correlations between functional impairments were established.

Systematic Review
Are alterations in running biomechanics associated with running injuries? A systematic review with meta-analysis
Alexandre Dias Lopes, Angelie Mascarinas, Luiz Hespanhol
Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27:100538
Highlights

  • There is a weak association between running biomechanics and running-related injuries.

  • Very limited evidence supporting that running biomechanics is associated with injuries.

  • There is significant heterogeneity of methods in running biomechanics studies.

Highlights

  • One in four participants reported more than one pelvic floor dysfunction.

  • Women reported more psychological problems and poor quality of life.

  • Weak correlation was found between urinary incontinence and symptoms of anxiety.

  • Weak correlation was found between quality of life and female urinary incontinence.

  • Risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction: anxiety, old age, and female sex.

Systematic Review
What are the unsupervised exercise adherence rates in clinical trials for knee osteoarthritis? A systematic review
Kristin M. Smith, B. James Massey, Jodi L. Young, Daniel I. Rhon
Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27:100533
Highlights

  • Exercise trials for knee osteoarthritis are not consistently collecting and reporting information about exercise adherence.

  • Without information about adherence, the understanding of true treatment effect sizes of exercise for individuals with knee osteoarthritis is limited.

  • Only 10.2% of trials provided a predetermined threshold of adequate adherence, and outcomes did not appear to differ in those who met the threshold. However, metrics, thresholds, and comparator groups were highly heterogeneous in these trials, limiting any conclusions.

Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27:100520
Highlights

  • 50.3% of included studies inappropriately reported treatment effect modifiers.

  • Inappropriate reporting varied substantially between physical therapy journals.

  • Inappropriate reporting was highest in the most recent period, 2018 – 2022 (59.6%).
