Limited data on education, ethnicity, and health risks of participants.

No reports on adverse effects or satisfaction with the treatments.

Trials had good quality but poor reporting of intervention details.

Replication was limited due to missing data on adherence and fidelity.

It is recommended to use a structured and progressive early mobilization protocol instead of usual care in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU (SR, LMCoE).

It is recommended to use inspiratory muscle training instead of usual care in mechanically ventilated adult patients undergoing difficult or prolonged weaning (SR, MCoE).

It is not suggested using passive mobilization (including resources such as electrical stimulation or orthostatic board) alone compared with usual care in non-cooperative critically ill patients in the ICU (CR, VLCoE).

It is not suggested using inspiratory muscle training instead of usual care in mechanically ventilated adult patients under simple weaning (CR, LCoE).

Incomplete intervention reporting makes effective treatments hard to reproduce in clinical practice.

Registries, journals, and reviews should require the application of intervention description and fidelity‑assessment tools.

Systematic reviews and guidelines must appraise intervention reporting and contextual feasibility, not only risk of bias.

Improving the traceability and fidelity of interventions may temporarily reduce publication volume but ultimately strengthen clinical applicability.

Robot-assisted therapy significantly enhances upper extremity functions.

Robotic-assisted therapy improves the effectiveness of conventional physiotherapy.

The study group showed improvements in upper extremity motion and gait parameters.

Robot-assisted therapy achieved significant gains in independence and motor control.

Robot-assisted therapy strengthens motor skills and walking balance in children.

The NMQ is an effective tool for monitoring pain in cardiovascular programs.

We assessed the reliability of the NMQ in patients undergoing cardiovascular rehabilitation.

Reliability levels remained stable across different body regions.

Children’s pain knowledge is moderate, with room for improvement in understanding.

Parents have slightly better pain knowledge than teachers, but both groups show gaps.

Teachers show excessive concern about pain, which may affect how they manage it.

Interest in pain topics includes treatments, causes, and types of pain.

Online methods, especially videos, are the preferred way to learn about pain.

The Brazilian Portuguese version of the Central Aspects of Pain in the Knee (CAP-Knee-Br) showed good structural validity.

The CAP-Knee-Br presented good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and measurement error.

No floor or ceiling effects were observed.

Scores on the CAP-Knee-Br were correlated with pain and central sensitization measures.

Ankle pump exercises resulted in a small, short-term reduction in ankle oedema.

No influence was observed for pain, ankle range of motion, or function.

Ankle pump exercises provide no clinical benefit for acute ankle sprain.

Customized foot orthoses (CFOs) significantly improved pain and foot function in individuals with plantar heel pain after 6 months of use.

Higher low back disability and neural tension on the symptomatic side were associated with a lower likelihood of responding to CFOs.

The findings highlight the value of a comprehensive physical assessment, including spinal and neural factors, in predicting CFOs’ outcomes.

Exercise and manual therapy improved function and reduced resting pain in neck pain.

In the dosimetry tested, PBMT was not superior when combined with treatment.

Findings are specific to this PBMT protocol and should not be generalized.

Exercise and manual therapy are sufficient for managing chronic neck pain.

A physiotherapist-led, group-based exercise and education program for knee osteoarthritis was feasible, acceptable, and well-adopted in Brazilian primary care, even across two socioeconomically distinct municipalities.

Training physiotherapists through the free, evidence-based PEAK-Portuguese course enabled routine integration of guideline-recommended care, achieving high recruitment, attendance, and participant satisfaction.

Group delivery fostered peer support, motivation, and broader health-seeking behaviors, while barriers such as pain or scheduling conflicts were modifiable through program adaptations.

This is one of the first implementation-context studies of structured osteoarthritis care in a low- and middle-income country, demonstrating scalable strategies for equitable delivery in public health systems.

Brazilian health professionals can assess qualitatively and quantitatively.

Infant Motor Profile is currently translated into Brazilian Portuguese.

The translated IMP and AIMS demonstrated concurrent validity.

Moderate correlation of variation, adaptability, and fluency with the AIMS total score.

Strong correlation of performance domain and IMP total score with AIMS total score.
