- •
Cardiorespiratory fitness measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing is consistently impaired in COVID-19 survivors.
- •
The degree of reduction of cardiorespiratory fitness is inversely associated with age, time post-COVID-19, disease severity, presence of dyspnea, and reduced exercise capacity.
- •
Future research should investigate the mechanisms of cardiorespiratory fitness reduction in addition to investigating possible therapeutic strategies to maximize fitness post COVID-19.
- •
Based on the data available, both bladder training and drug treatment isolated did not seem to promote helpful effects in patients with OAB.
- •
Bladder training combined with intravaginal electrical stimulation seems to present positive results on overactive bladder symptoms; however the quality of evidence of the studies assessed was not satisfactory.
- •
There are few randomized clinical trials on the effect of treatment on overactive bladder symptoms, which makes the efficacy of bladder training inconclusive.
- •
Embedded motivational interviewing for low back pain was not superior to usual physical therapy care.
- •
Embedded motivational interviewing is a new skill for physical therapists.
- •
Understanding the intended purpose of healthcare apps may foster engagement.
- •
Tech footwear linked to reduced foot muscle vs. barefoot.
- •
Barefoot group shows significantly higher ankle dorsiflexion ROM.
- •
No significant dynamic balance differences found between groups.
- •
The three versions of the Tampa scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) questionnaire tested in our study showed good measurement properties.
- •
The three TSK versions are suitable for assessing maladaptive beliefs in patients with migraine.
- •
The TSK-11 offers the advantage of being shorter than the TSK-13 and TSK-17.
- •
Scores on the TSK showed a moderate correlation with those on the fear avoidance beliefs, pain catastrophizing scale, and headache impact test questionnaires.
- •
Age ≥65 and dependence are predictors of worse general self-rated health (SRH) 3 months post-stroke.
- •
Motor impairment is a predictor of worse time-comparative SRH 3 months post-stroke.
- •
Being female is a predictor of worse time-comparative SRH 12 months post-stroke.
- •
Dependence is a predictor of worse time-comparative SRH 12 months post-stroke.
- •
Age and motor impairments were the strongest SRH predictors.
- •
23–33% of people with COPD have impaired functional capacity.
- •
Decreased functional capacity is present across all GOLD classifications.
- •
History of exacerbations and symptoms lead to further decline in the 1-minSTS.
- •
Other measures correlate poorly with measures of functional capacity.
- •
Other measures have limited discriminative ability for functional capacity.
- •
Fatigue can be a limiting factor for runners.
- •
Fatigue is any reduction in the capacity to produce maximum muscle strength.
- •
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation has been studied in sports.
- •
One Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation session does not decrease fatigue in recreational runners.
- •
We identified key barriers and facilitators for patients to participate in the trial.
- •
Participants took part in the study to access healthcare services and contribute to research.
- •
Participants valued interventions received.
- •
Participants highlighted areas for improvement when designing the full trial.
- •
The CCFT has good intra-examiner reliability in patients with migraine.
- •
The CCFT has moderate inter-rater reliability in patients with migraine.
- •
Headache disability and cervical flexors endurance are correlated with CCFT performance.
- •
The SEM (1.31 and 1.36 mmHg) are smaller than a CCFT stage.
- •
The MDC (3.63 and 3.77 mmHg) correspond to two CCFT stages.
- •
PEM-CY assesses the participation of children/young people.
- •
PEM-CY assesses the environment of children/young people.
- •
PEM-CY Brazil version presents good internal consistency.
- •
PEM-CY Brazil version presents good construct validity (known-group validity).
- •
PEM-CY-Brazil will contribute to the rehabilitation process focused on participation.
- •
A single measure of the handgrip strength (HGS) can simplify sarcopenia screening.
- •
The first handgrip strength trial did not differ significantly from the mean of three trials.
- •
There was excellent agreement between the first handgrip strength trial and the mean of three trials.
