HRV is used to assess cardiac autonomic modulation.

HRV is useful to assess the effect of physical exercise programmes.

What are the common shortcomings of using the HRV methodology?

What are the recommendations of using HRV collection and analysis methods?

Checklist regarding the use of the HRV collection and analysis methodology.

Overall confidence of reviews of exercise for low back pain was very low.

Higher confidence was found in Cochrane reviews and reviews with registered protocol.

Confidence in the results is important to generate unbiased clinical recommendations.

Satisfaction is considered an element that intimately affects the treatments.

MRPS measures overall patients’ satisfaction under physical therapeutic care.

The lowest scoring item is home guidelines.

Inpatients were satisfied with physical therapy, mainly with therapist's respect.

There are at least two PSSP clinical profiles differing in onset and course.

PSSP subtypes may be classified by degree of shoulder muscle impairment.

Severe PSSP subtype seems to be associated with somatosensory sensitization.

Low PSSP subtype onset is usually delayed and detected by primary care departments.

This study investigated the influence between pelvis–trunk–shoulder.

Active reduction of anterior pelvic tilt decreased trunk extension.

Active reduction of anterior pelvic tilt increased lower trapezius activity.

The MPOC-SP and MPOC-20 are now available in Brazilian Portuguese.

The MPOC-SP and MPOC-20 – Portuguese Brazil have overall adequate reliability.

The MPOCs can be used to assess family centered practice in rehabilitation.

This study evaluated three outcome success thresholds.

39% met both MCID of 8.0 points and discharge score of ≤ 20 in Quick-DASH.

28% met both MCID of 16 points and discharge score of ≤ 20 in Quick-DASH.

Assessing the stability of the body may help to determine risk of injuries.

The Upper Body Test (UBT) presented good inter-day reliability.

Previous familiarization to the UBT is essential for the analysis.

CR delivery according to guidelines was evaluated for the first time in Brazil.

CR is available in all Brazilian regions; however, it must be augmented.

The greatest barrier for CR was patient referral.

Staff size and core components is lower than other upper-middle income countries.

First head-to-head comparison of QUADAS, QUADAS-2, DAQS measurement properties.

Inter-tester reliability of individual items of the tools was poor.

Summary scores were imprecise and convergent validity was often low.

The quality of the included studies was mixed.

A new quality assessment tool should exclude items relating to generalizability.
