Impaired movements and alignments may be associated with musculoskeletal conditions.

Signs of impaired alignments and movements may be seen before there are symptoms.

Treatment is based on using the findings of making the MSI diagnosis to correct the performance of daily activities.

This manuscript presents the measurement properties of a novel technique for lengthening the pectoralis minor muscle.

Active and passive lengthening procedures resulted in greater changes in pectoralis minor muscle length when compared to previously reported pectoralis minor muscle stretches.

This investigation provides the first evidence to support measurement of the extensibility of the pectoralis minor muscle.

Resistance exercise (>12 weeks) appears to increase in VO2max in diabetic patients.

Resistance exercise didn’t decrease the glycemic level compared to aerobic exercises.

The lipid profile of DM patients was the same in both types of exercise.

Underwater ultrasound therapy is a useful procedure to treat inflammation in patients with RA.

Underwater ultrasound therapy is suitable to treat irregular body parts, because the transmission coefficient is high and the reflection is low in water.

The improvements were only observed in the short term (at the end of 2 weeks of treatment).

Elderly women with knee osteoarthritis are at risk of developing limitations physical.

Hidrotherapy improves pain, function, muscle power and strength in older women with knee osteoarthritis.

Hydrotherapy is likely to be an effective treatment option for these patients.

Inactivity is an important predictor of poor outcomes in inpatients.

The HAP has been used in healthy and symptomatic populations.

The HAP assesses physical activities ranging from very easy to very strenuous.

The HAP has adequate measurement properties to assess inpatients.

This study challenges the notion that TENS can only be applied at the site of pain.

The study supports the use of TENS in patients with significant skin injuries.

This helps to understand the action of TENS in edema.

Four models of therapeutic suits have had their effects tested empirically in pediatric rehabilitation.

The Dynamic Elastomeric Fabric Orthoses and TheraTogs improve postural alignment and gait in children with diplegic CP.

The isolated effects of TheraSuit and AdeliSuit were not tested. Both suits were investigated within the context of intensive training programs.

No additional benefits could be attributed to TheraSuit wearing during intensive training programs.

Low quality of evidence suggests caution in recommending therapeutic suits.

The study population shows high prevalence of neck pain.

The factors were widowed, income, educational level, sitting posture and diseases.

Prevention should emphasize sociodemographic, behavioral, and ergonomic factors.

Treating the central nervous system and psychosocial factors in chronic spinal pain.

This protocol combines pain neuroscience education and cognition targeted exercises.

This paper can be used as guidelines for implementation in clinical practice.

Reassurance is a frequently utilized yet poorly understood clinical skill.

Emotional distress is an important driver of healthcare use.

Diagnostic test results are not reassuring.

Some attempts at reassurance can increase rather than decrease concern.

Patient education is a promising way for clinicians to manage emotional distress.

Stroke subjects had lower EE during the 6MWT and SCT compared to the healthy subjects.

Stroke subjects had higher EC during the 6MWT and SCT compared to the healthy subjects.

Walking speed differentiated healthy from stroke subjects gait.

The stroke subjects who walked faster showed better energy efficiency.

Evidence-based interventions to improve walking speed should be implemented.

Generalized hypersensitivity in post-cancer, sports-related and pediatric pain.

Rationale for pain education, stress management and cognition targeted exercises.

Need to change from a biomedical or psychosocial to an integrated approach.

Exercise intolerance is a hallmark in COPD patients.

Changes in HRV dynamics are early and sensitive indices of impaired health.

6MWD provides relevant information about functional (in)capacity in COPD patients.

A system with loss of complexity interferes with exercise performance.

HRV modulation to submaximal exercise may reflect ventilatory and hemodynamic abnormalities.

The PEP device at 10cmH2O may be a potential home treatment for stroke group.

The intensities above 10cmH2O may lead to lung hyperinflation in stroke group.

Stroke group reduced shortening velocity index for expiratory muscles during use PEP.

The EPQ(stroke)-Brazil has adequate measurement properties.

The EPQ(stroke)-Brazil may assist in planning physical activities after stroke.

The EPQ(stroke)-Brazil indicates exercise preferences after stroke.

The EPQ(stroke)-Brazil has clinical utility and it is easy to use.

Bilateral HRT reference values were established, stratified by age and gender.

Bilateral HRT reference values may be used as a basis for research and clinical practice.

High-intensity respiratory muscle training may improve neurological rehabilitation.

Gains in respiratory muscle strength are expected to be clinically meaningful.

If benefits are carried over to activity, community participation may be enhanced.

If benefits include reduction in hospital admissions, treatment costs may be reduced.

Frailty can compromise the integration of postural control systems.

This impairment becomes evident after sitting and rising from a chair.

The impairment occurs in the frontal and sagittal planes in frail elderly people.

Lung resection for lung cancer is associated with marked reductions in exercise capacity.

Exercise training increased exercise capacity in people with non-small cell lung cancer.

Exercise training did not improve other outcomes.
