- •
Only 50% of the published trials were registered.
- •
Unregistered trials may have collected other measures that remain unreported.
- •
Many additional outcomes not appearing in trial registries were published.
- •
Some reported positive findings are likely spurious due to unadjusted multiple comparisons.
- •
Beliefs are an important target for the management of musculoskeletal pain.
- •
Behavioural learning is key to elicit and disconfirm unhelpful beliefs.
- •
We propose key principles to guide clinicians in promoting behavioural change.
- •
A case illustrates the role beliefs have on musculoskeletal pain management.
- •
146 patients were rehabilitated by a mobile health program after arthroplasty
- •
Physical activity (PA) was recorded each day by means of fitness trackers
- •
Patient reached their pre-operative physical activity level at 7-week post-surgery
- •
This study identified predictors for physical activity recovery
- •
The way to facilitate access to scientific articles is share the results of their studies over the internet.
- •
In order to measure the attention attracted online, a new score named Altmetric was created.
- •
There are no studies that have analysed associated factors of Altmetric score for systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines.
- •
Warm water immersion therapy (WWIT) reduces inflammatory pain in mice.
- •
Spinal inhibitory neuroreceptors are involved in WWIT-induced pain-relieving effect.
- •
Opioid, cannabinoid and adenosine receptors contribute to WWIT pain-relieving effect.
- •
There is no association between uCTX-II and the knee joint load.
- •
The uCTX-II level is associated with pain and physical function.
- •
Knee joint load showed no association with pain and physical function.
- •
Total score of the Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire is valid.
- •
The Brazilian Bournemouth Questionnaire for low back pain is reliable.
- •
Standard Error of Measurement was 5.97 points.
- •
Minimum Detectable Change was 16.54 points.
- •
The FGA evaluates postural stability during various walking tasks.
- •
The FGA is now available in Brazilian-Portuguese language.
- •
The FGA-Brazil has overall excellent reliability and good internal consistency.
- •
The FGA-Brazil should be used both in clinical practice and for research purposes.
- •
The combination of heat and TENS significantly improves pain pressure thresholds.
- •
The combination of heat and TENS does not affect maximum and average pain, nor movement-evoked pain (MEP).
- •
There is a need for standardized and sensitive assessment tools for measuring MEP.
- •
SpO2 was commonly monitored during exercise testing
- •
Oxygen was available during exercise testing and training in most programs
- •
The rationale for prescribing oxygen during exercise varied between programs
