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.

MIRE is an adjunctive phototherapy source approved by FDA to improve blood perfusion and reduce pain.

MIRE was associated with a modest short-term improvement in plantar tactile sensitivity, not sustained over time.

MIRE resulted in a less decrease in pain relief, possibly associated with initial improvement in plantar sensitivity.

Current quality of evidence is low and further studies are likely to change the estimated effect.

There is aortic adaptation to resistance training in an experimental animal model.

Resistance training promoted left ventricle concentric hypertrophy and improved aortic wall structure by increasing the density of elastic fibers and collagen fibers and increasing the thickness of collagen fibrils.

Resistance training rats displayed aortic remodeling.

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.

Neutral head and target head position tests evaluate cervical proprioception.

Clinics commonly use those position tests, and it is important to test their reliability.

Intra- and inter-rater reliability was moderate to high for these tests.

FES is widely used in patients with chronic heart failure.

FES increased quadriceps muscle strength after eight weeks of training.

FES increased lower limb muscle endurance after eight weeks of training.

FES was unable to modify functional capacity after eight weeks of training.

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.

A clear definition and description of the interventions in randomized controlled trials are pre-requisites for implementation in clinical practice.

There is a trend among investigators to describe control group interventions poorly compared to the experimental group.

The readers would not be able to apply the findings of the trial to their clinical practice if the interventions are poorly described.

Due to the unique properties of the water-based environment, a range of categories may be treated.

This study reveals the areas of functioning and disability most commonly targeted by aquatic physical therapists.

Prior authors have performed Delphi studies to determine the categories related to specific diagnoses, not categorizing interventions.

This guide could be included in goal setting for a given condition.

This may enable aquatic physical therapists to develop treatment-based classification systems and competencies for entry-level practice.

This is a high quality randomized controlled trial (with blinded assessors).

This is the first trial to adjust phototherapy to training after control of the primary adaptation process.

The intervention under investigation may reflect the real effect of phototherapy.
