CiteScore measures average citations received per document published. Read more
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.
- •
There was a large effect of BTI combined with other strategies on postural control at short-term.
- •
Combining BTI with other intervention may enhance effects on postural control in young CP patients.
- •
Due to the very low quality of the current evidence, caution is needed.
- •
Migraine is associated with high levels of disability and comorbidities.
- •
Disability levels can be influenced by the presence of aura and migraine chronicity.
- •
Manual and exercise therapy aim to reduce musculoskeletal pain and sensitization.
- •
Balance and vestibular rehabilitation is suggested to enhance function and reduce dizziness.
- •
Patients may benefit from physical examination and tailored treatment paths including education.
- •
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.
- •
Postural abnormalities are more common in people with emphysema.
- •
People with emphysema have more head protraction and greater scapular elevation.
- •
Postural differences exist between COPD patients and healthy individuals.
- •
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.
- •
Unloader brace did not change co-contraction of agonist and antagonist muscles.
- •
Unloader brace produced changes in gluteal and gastrocnemius timing and amplitude, however, the clinical relevance is unclear.
- •
There were no differences between adjusted and unadjusted brace conditions.
- •
Brazilian physical therapists had positive attitudes regarding evidence-based practice.
- •
Personal characteristics were poorly associated with evidence-based practice.
- •
Organizational characteristics could be the main barriers for evidence-based practice.
- •
Potential strategies to improve evidence-based practice should include mentoring and research-related activities.
- •
Participant's characteristics did not identify people who respond best to MSI treatment.
- •
Patient's characteristics should not be used to choose between both treatments.
- •
Sample size was not determined to detect potential treatment effect modifiers.
- •
The high operational cost of implementing CPET hampers its use.
- •
Ventilometry combined to ergometric test can be used for estimating V˙ O2max.
- •
We analyzed the reliability of ventilometry for estimating V˙ O2max.
- •
We presented two reliable equations for estimating V˙ O2max.
- •
We will monitor compliance with the intervention and adverse events.
- •
Data will be analyzed following intention-to-treat principles.
- •
A cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed.
