SRJ is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of the journal's impact.
SNIP measures contextual citation impact by wighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.
- •
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.
- •
Improper activation of the trapezius is associated with abnormal scapular motions.
- •
This paper reviews the anatomy, kinesiology, and pathokinesiology of the trapezius.
- •
This paper describes and illustrates exercises that target the trapezius.
- •
The methodological quality of the studies ranged from “poor” to “good”.
- •
Most results of the quality of the measurement properties were considered doubtful.
- •
The Frenchay activities index and the Human activity profile showed the highest clinical utility scores.
- •
The content validity needs to be better investigated.
- •
Further studies with good methodological quality are required.
- •
Presence of knee crepitus did not affect knee strength or objective function.
- •
People with knee crepitus present lower self-reported physical function (small effect).
- •
People with knee crepitus present lower quality of life (small effect).
- •
Dynapenia and abdominal obesity were associated with single fall.
- •
Dynapenic-abdominal obesity people are more likely to fall.
- •
Dynapenia was the unique condition associated with recurrent falls.
- •
Electrical stimulation was tolerable in patients with chronic low back pain.
- •
Stabilization exercises with NMES did not add clinical benefit for the CLBP.
- •
Because of the small sample; clinicians should interpreting the results cautiously.
- •
Pre-morbid contexts may relate to the onset of central sensitisation in chronic low back pain.
- •
Themes of developmental learning experiences and personal characteristics emerged.
- •
Themes of physical and emotional sensitivities and traumas also emerged.
- •
These four themes may be linked with autonomic stress responses and central sensitisation pain.
- •
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.
- •
Scoring methods for two lumbopelvic sensorimotor control tests were developed.
- •
Good to excellent reliability was found for the lateral step test scoring method.
- •
Fair to excellent reliability was found for the lumbopelvic position–reposition test.
- •
The lateral step down test can be used in clinical practice.
- •
The scoring method for the lumbopelvic position–reposition test needs to improve.
