Intensive exercise in the early postoperative rehabilitation after hip fracture (up to 3 months postoperatively) is beneficial to the recovery of physical function in older adults.
- •
Intensive exercise with more load lead to greater improvements in muscle strength, balance, and functional ability.
- •
Older adults with cognitive impairment were not included in the studies selected for this review, conclusions about the training results may not be extended to this population.
- •
We investigated the effects of multisensory stimulation combined to standard care versus standard care alone on the length of hospital stay and weight gain in hospitalized preterm infants.
- •
Auditory–Tactile–Visual-Vestibular intervention combined with standard care increased the total weight gain.
- •
Tactile-Kinesthesic stimulation combined with standard care reduced the number of days at the hospital and increased the daily weight gain and the total weight gain.
- •
Kangaroo method care combined with standard care increased the daily weight gain.
- •
There is little guidance for physical therapists on how best to provide first line care for people with low back pain.
- •
Providing validation to patients seems important.
- •
The AxEL-Q is a valid and reliable tool that could help to guide physical therapy consultations.
- •
Physical therapists could consider focusing patient education and advice on messages about cause, severity, and imaging, and in doing so remove barriers to physical activity.
- •
Current evidence showed that exercise therapy is a cost-effective treatment in knee OA.
- •
Our stratified approach of exercise therapy did not appear to be cost-effective compared to usual exercise therapy.
- •
Policy-makers should decide whether stratified exercise therapy can be implemented.
- •
It is hypothesized that dry needling improves pain sensitivity and pain modulation.
- •
There was no difference on pain sensitivity or pain modulation between dry needling and sham needling.
- •
Dry needling shows better antinociceptive pain modulation after treatment.
- •
Assessing life-space in older adults with AD is important and should be used in clinical practice.
- •
Older adults with AD have lower life-space mobility and require assistance to achieve higher levels of mobility.
- •
Encouraging and enabling assistance is fundamental to a greater life-space for older adults with dementia.
- •
Most posts on Instagram and Twitter about physical therapy interventions do not cite information sources.
- •
Most profiles present potential conflicts of interest.
- •
Very few posts aimed to facilitate knowledge acquisition.
- •
Physical therapists should consume information from social media with caution.
- •
Content producers should consider means to facilitate knowledge translation.
