  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.

  The closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test (CKCUEST) and the seated Single-Arm/ unilateral seated shot-put test showed adequate reliability.

• •

  The seated medicine ball throw is valid to evaluate upper body power.

• •

  Other upper extremity physical performance tests should be used with caution due to low quality of evidence or suboptimal measurement properties.

  The DiTA database, launched in 2019, is freely accessible at dita.org.au.

• •

  DiTA indexes physical therapy relevant diagnostic test accuracy research.

• •

  There are more than 2400 primary studies and systematic reviews indexed on DiTA.

  This Masterclass provides tips on how to best search this database.

• •

  Cardiorespiratory fitness measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing is consistently impaired in COVID-19 survivors.

• •

  The degree of reduction of cardiorespiratory fitness is inversely associated with age, time post-COVID-19, disease severity, presence of dyspnea, and reduced exercise capacity.

• •

  Future research should investigate the mechanisms of cardiorespiratory fitness reduction in addition to investigating possible therapeutic strategies to maximize fitness post COVID-19.

• •

  Non-invasive therapies are first-line interventions for lateral elbow tendinopathy.

• •

  Acupuncture and BMV are effective for disability in the short-term.

• •

  The long-term effects of non-invasive intervention are unknown.

• •

  Clinicians should be cautious in decision making as the evidence is still unclear.

• •

  Varied interventions were reported for LHBT tendinopathy.

• •

  Modalities dominate studies while literature reviews stress multimodal care.

• •

  Evidence gaps persist in the conservative management of LHBT tendinopathy.

• •

  The EFSMAP was developed by a panel of nine experts.

• •

  The EFSMAP is a valid and reliable exam of the women's PFM using visual observation and digital palpation.

• •

  EFSMAP can be used in clinical and research settings.

• •

  The EFSMAP set valid diagnostic labels for PFM impairments based on movement systems and ICF/WHO terminology.

• •

  The EFSMAP can facilitate standard communication and data gathering.

• •

  MRP values increased with increasing age.

• •

  MEP values, both for girls and boys, were higher than the MIP values for all ages.

• •

  Boys had higher MIP and MEP values than girls, regardless of age group.

• •

  Large 95% CI values were observed for MIP and MEP, mainly for the 12–19 age group.

• •

  For clinical practice, the nationality of the study should be considered.

The SPORTS Participation Framework can be used across health, sport, and education sectors to:

• •

  Enhance interdisciplinary communication for children with disability with sports-focused goals.

• •

  Identify and describe children's current stage of sports participation.

• •

  Plan time- and cost-effective management strategies to reach goal stage of sports participation.

• •

  An innovative diagnosis classification system was developed and regulated in Brazil.

• •

  An online system was developed and made available to all physical therapists in the country.

• •

  The new system will help professionals to define the prognosis and therapeutic goals.

  Tech footwear linked to reduced foot muscle vs. barefoot.

• •

  Barefoot group shows significantly higher ankle dorsiflexion ROM.

• •

  No significant dynamic balance differences found between groups.

• •

  Based on the data available, both bladder training and drug treatment isolated did not seem to promote helpful effects in patients with OAB.

• •

  Bladder training combined with intravaginal electrical stimulation seems to present positive results on overactive bladder symptoms; however the quality of evidence of the studies assessed was not satisfactory.

• •

  There are few randomized clinical trials on the effect of treatment on overactive bladder symptoms, which makes the efficacy of bladder training inconclusive.

• •

  The HMob scale showed excellent internal consistency and reliability.

• •

  The HMOB scale presents concurrent validity with the FSS and FIM scales.

• •

  The HMOB scale can be used in daily practice to measure mobility in hospital.
