- •
Heart failure is associated to autonomic dysfunction of cardiovascular system characterized by sympathetic hyperactivity.
- •
Exercise intervention promotes mechanisms that restores the autonomic balance.
- •
The effects of exercise training on sympathetic nerve activity in heart failure patients have not been summarized.
- •
In patients with heart failure, exercise training reduces sympathetic nerve activity compared with non-trained patients.
- •
The quality of evidence across the studies was moderate and the heterogeneity across the studies was high.
- •
Hip muscle weakness in PFP patients may be consequence and not the cause of pain.
- •
Pain and disability may not be associated with kinematics after treatment.
- •
Hip muscle weakness may have no causal relationship with dynamic knee valgus.
- •
The mechanical factors that may impair the management of PFP are likely to be overestimated.
- •
PFP patients should be treated on a biopsychosocial approach.
- •
Postural sway demonstrated no difference between manipulation and sham treatment.
- •
Sacroiliac manipulation did not disturb balance as rambling or center of pressure showed no significant change.
- •
Sacroiliac manipulation increased trembling frequency and velocity in the manipulation group.
- •
Balance changes were shown to be minor with SI manipulation and may be compensated by ankle strategy.
- •
The Brazilian versions of ACL-RSI and ACL-QoL were translated and culturally adapted.
- •
The Brazilian ACL-RSI and ACL-QoL demonstrated adequate measurement properties.
- •
The Brazilian ACL-RSI and ACLQoL are useful outcomes for clinical and research.
- •
AM-PAC evaluate mobility, daily activity and applied cognition, according to ICF.
- •
The translation process followed the procedures of specific guidelines.
- •
The Brazilian version maintains the original meaning of the AM-PAC items.
- •
Short forms of the AM-PAC/Brazil showed satisfactory reliability indices.
- •
Ergonomic modification and exercise improve discomfort for office workers.
- •
Introduce a package of exercise training that can be used as a treatment for MSDs.
- •
Office workers should spend at least 15min each day to do some exercises.
- •
HF increases pro-inflammatory cytokines levels in gastrocnemius.
- •
Exercise training reverses the atrophy of gastrocnemius induced by HF.
- •
Exercise training increases IL-10 and decreases TNF-α level in gastrocnemius.
- •
Bridge exercise with unstable surface increases trunk muscle activities.
- •
Bridge exercise with hip abduction increases trunk muscles activities.
- •
Modified bridge exercises are useful for co-activation of trunk muscles.
- •
The founds may result in an important advance in neurological rehabilitation.
- •
A single-point cane may help improving walking of slow and intermediate walkers after stroke.
- •
If walking is enhanced, the benefits may be carried over to participation.
