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.

Several ADLs in healthy individuals had larger joint angles than walking, climbing stairs, and standing up.

Large joint angles in healthy individuals occurred at the hip and knee joints during trunk rotation, during crouching, and getting out of the bath.

Adduction and internal rotation occurred simultaneously in few healthy individuals during maximum flexion of the hip in the measured tasks.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the main causes of death.

The stress test is indispensable before cardiac rehabilitation.

The 6MWT is a simple, low-cost, valid, and reliable method.

The 6MWT can be used safely in the hospital after an AMI.

Upper limb MSD were prevalent among manual manufacturing workers.

Shoulder was the body region with the highest prevalence of symptoms.

Repetitive work and lack of rest breaks are influential risk factors for MSD.

Performing work pause was identified as a significant variable.

MSD had a significant negative impact on workers’ general health.

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.

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.

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).

Forward head posture (FHP) is a prevalent poor posture in patients with neck disorders.

We compared the thickness of the cervical muscles in women with and without FHP.

Women with FHP had significantly greater thickness of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.

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.

Patient education is recommended in the primary care management of acute low back pain.

The PREVENT Trial is the first placebo-controlled randomized trial to evaluate the efficacy of patient education.

Statistical analysis plans increase the transparency around how researchers plan to estimate and interpret treatment effects from randomized trials.

This protocol describes the pre-specified principles, methods, and procedures to be adhered to in the statistical analysis of the PREVENT trial data.
