Breaking barriers to rehabilitation: the role of behavior change theories in overcoming the challenge of exercise-related behavior change
Manuela Karloh, Thiago Sousa Matias, Joice Mara de Oliveira, Fabiano Francisco de Lima, David Halen Araújo Pinheiro, Graziele Besen Barbosa, Karina Couto Furlanetto, Celso R.F. Carvalho

Highlights

  • Rehabilitation programs fail to promote exercise-related behavior change.

  • The one-size-fits-all approach to promoting behavior change is impractical.

  • Multiple theories and strategies are needed for successful behavior change.

  • We explained the key points of six theories for behavior change.

  • Rehabilitation staff must intentionally implement strategies to change behavior.

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
20
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.

Effectiveness of intensive versus regular or no exercise in older adults after hip fracture surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Fan Bai, Minmin Leng, Yan Zhang, Jinli Guo, Zhiwen Wang
Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27: 100482
19
Highlights

  • 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.

Affordance-based practice: An ecological-enactive approach to chronic musculoskeletal pain management
Daniela Virgínia Vaz, Peter Stilwell, Sabrina Coninx, Matthew Low, Craig Liebenson
Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27: 100554
18
Highlights

  • The ecological-enactive approach to pain extends the biopsychosocial model.

  • Clinical reasoning and practice centers around affordances: opportunities for action.

  • Disabling pain is experienced as closed-off or “stuck” field of affordances.

  • Therapist and patient work together to make sense of pain, complexity, and uncertainty.

  • Together, they choose interventions aimed to “open-up” the field of affordances.

Highlights

  • The Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS) scale is now available in Brazilian Portuguese.

  • The Brazilian Portuguese PCFS has shown adequate measurement properties.

Exploration of the clinical course of frozen shoulder: A longitudinal multicenter prospective study of functional impairments
Michel GCAM Mertens, Mira Meeus, Olivier Verborgt, Enrique Lluch Girbes, Silvia Mena-Del Horno, Marta Aguilar-Rodriguez, Lirios Dueñas, Santiago Navarro-Ledesma, ... Filip Struyf
Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27: 100539
17
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.

High intensity training improves symptoms of central sensitization at six-month follow-up in persons with chronic nonspecific low back pain: Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial
Jonas Verbrugghe, Anouk Agten, Sjoerd Stevens, Frank Vandenabeele, Nathalie Roussel, Jeanine Verbunt, Nina Goossens, Annick Timmermans
Braz J Phys Ther. 2023;27: 100496
17
Highlights

  • HIT improves symptoms of central sensitization and perceived stress in persons with CNSLBP.

  • Effects of HIT on central sensitization are more pronounced in persons with clinically relevant symptoms.

  • Symptoms of central sensitization and perceived stress are only slightly related with (changes in) pain intensity and functional disability.
