Position–reposition and thoracolumbar dissociation (TLD) are frequently used tests.

Persons with recurrent low back pain in remission performed both clinical tests.

All criteria of the position-reposition test showed sufficient convergent validity.

For TLD, range of motion and smoothness were valid, while muscle activation was not.

Both tests can be recommended for use in clinical practice.

Most runners were classified as conventional shoe users.

Adherence to minimalist shoes was low despite reported interest.

Performance improvement was the main reason for trying minimalist shoes.

Sex and running experience were associated with shoe type.

Injury prevalence was similar; habitual minimalist shoe users showed lower injury odds.

People in Brazil endorsed unhelpful beliefs about low back pain (Back-PAQ-Br).

People currently experiencing LBP had higher Back-PAQ-Br scores than others.

People perceive the back as vulnerable and needing protection (Back-PAQ-Brdanger).

Physical activity levels were similar across pelvic organ prolapse severity groups at baseline, 3 months, and 12 months after reconstructive surgery.

Prolapse severity was not associated with differences in physical activity patterns over time.

Symptoms and quality of life scores showed postoperative improvement over time, regardless of prolapse severity.

337 cardiac rehab programs were available across 25 (71.4%) LAC countries.

Patient cardiac rehab coverage across the region is <10%.

55% of patients pay out-of-pocket for care, infrequently home-based.

Multidisciplinary staff delivery comprehensive care, despite limited resourcing.

Stroke patients showed the highest rate of physical therapy care utilization.

In socioeconomics, age and race are associated with physical therapy care.

Follow-up by healthcare professional is associated with physical therapy care.

The use of pharmacotherapy is associated with physical therapy care.

Disability level is associated with physical therapy care utilization.

The Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment Tool (CPAx) is a comprehensive tool for assessing physical function in hospitalized patients.

CPAX is the only scale that also assesses cough and respiratory function.

CPAX facilitates the establishment of therapeutic goals using assessment data.

The CPAx has adequate measurement properties for inpatients on hospital wards.

Current guidelines for the management of hypertension recommend exercise interventions, but comparative effectiveness between supervised and non-supervised exercise is not well investigated.

Meta-analysis indicates that supervised exercise training results in greater reductions in systolic blood pressure compared with non-supervised training, especially continuous aerobic exercise training.

Meta-analysis also demonstrates no significant differences between supervised and non-supervised exercise training in reductions in diastolic blood pressure.

Sports injuries arise from dynamic, context-dependent interactions among factors.

Treat injury as a context-dependent process, not a sum of isolated risk factors.

Assess the athlete as a whole: integrate biological, psychological, and social domains.

Use evidence as a compass: combine research, clinical expertise, and athlete values.

Match methods to complexity: simulation, monitoring, and participatory research.
