- •
Dry needling (DN) is commonly used for Orofacial pain treatment.
- •
DN is better than other interventions for pain in the short-term.
- •
DN is better than sham therapy on pressure pain threshold in the short-term.
- •
Due to the very low quality of evidence and the small effect size, caution is needed.
- •
Randomized controlled trials of high methodological quality are needed.
- •
Better QoL of children with asthma is associated with a lower asthma severity.
- •
Better QoL is associated with a good sleep quality.
- •
Better QoL of children with asthma associated with a lower dyspnea after exercise.
- •
Functionally independent older adults have risk of falling.
- •
Isolated and recurrent fallers have different fall risk factors.
- •
Alpha-blocker use is a predictor of isolated falls.
- •
Fractures, increased BMI and benzodiazepine and beta-blocker use are predictors of recurrent fallers.
- •
Children and adolescents with myelomeningocele showed higher heart rate at rest.
- •
Children and adolescents with myelomeningocele did not show differences in HR and BP variability.
- •
Children and adolescents with myelomeningocele showed lower baroreflex sensitivity.
- •
Obstacles during rehabilitation need to be faced in order to promote adherence.
- •
Financial crisis has an impact in adherence to recommended home exercises.
- •
Communication, individual's needs, capacities, and resources are essential for adherence.
- •
Lemgruber® elastic tubes (LET) can be safely stretched up to 8 times in length.
- •
Resistance from individual tubes varies from 3N to 537N depending on elongation.
- •
Reference equations for resistance and elongation are provided.
- •
Results offer increased knowledge of LET for its use in clinical practice.
- •
Different types of physical activity are strongly associated with motor and cognitive improvements.
- •
There is a dose–response relationship between physical activity and physiological improvements.
- •
An average of 6.2 years of physical activity had favorable effects on motor functions.
- •
An active lifestyle in adulthood is likely to prevent aging-related motor and cognitive decline.
- •
Stroke survivors spend approximately 20% of physical therapy time actively walking.
- •
Those able to walk without assistance take more steps for longer at a higher intensity.
- •
Increased walking practice intensity is needed to drive motor learning.
- •
There is a close interaction between insomnia and pain severity/disability.
- •
CBT-I can improve sleep and pain interference in chronic spinal pain.
- •
Clinical implication 1: combined approach may improve pain, sleep and function.
- •
Clinical implication 2: may lead to new treatment guidelines for professionals.
- •
PBMT has a clear dose therapeutic window for exercise performance enhancement and post-exercise recovery.
- •
Future RCTs must follow the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines, and use of the TIDeR checklist.
- •
Future guidelines must be based only at the highest scientific evidence, avoiding overstatements and extrapolations based on animal experiments and case-studies.
