Highlights
- •
Patient education, physical exercise, and weight maintenance constitute the first-line knee osteoarthritis treatment approach.
- •
There is still neglect of evidence-based strategies in clinical practice.
- •
Less than 40% of patients with knee OA receive first-line treatment.
- •
The use of adjunct therapies, isolated or in association with gold-standard treatments, is questionable.
- •
Surgery is typically a last resort for the management of knee osteoarthritis.

The impact of severity of motor delay, timing of task mastery, and START-play intervention on the development of means-end problem solving in young childrenAndrea B. Cunha, Iryna Babik, Dongho Choi, Natalie Koziol, Regina T. Harbourne, Stacey C. Dusing, Sarah W. McCoy, Sandra L. Willett, ... Michele A. Lobo

Highlights
- •
Means-end problem-solving (MEPS) should be a focus of early intervention.
- •
MEPS tools might support screening for impaired problem-solving in young children with motor delays.
- •
More time may be required to solidify MEPS learning for children with significant motor delays.
- •
START-Play plus usual care did not impact MEPS performance more than usual care alone.
