There is little guidance for physical therapists on how best to provide first line care for people with low back pain.

Providing validation to patients seems important.

The AxEL-Q is a valid and reliable tool that could help to guide physical therapy consultations.

Physical therapists could consider focusing patient education and advice on messages about cause, severity, and imaging, and in doing so remove barriers to physical activity.

The Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS) scale is now available in Brazilian Portuguese.

The Brazilian Portuguese PCFS has shown adequate measurement properties.

Current evidence showed that exercise therapy is a cost-effective treatment in knee OA.

Our stratified approach of exercise therapy did not appear to be cost-effective compared to usual exercise therapy.

Policy-makers should decide whether stratified exercise therapy can be implemented.

There is a weak association between running biomechanics and running-related injuries.

Very limited evidence supporting that running biomechanics is associated with injuries.

There is significant heterogeneity of methods in running biomechanics studies.

We propose a series of structured recommendations, based on the consensus of international, multidisciplinary experts, on factors to consider before, during, and after physical activity/exercise, thus facilitating the advisory role of health professionals.

These recommendations include the systematic analysis of the degree of risk presented by patients with diabetic foot before starting unsupervised physical activity.

Patients at high risk of ulceration should be closely monitored, including during their return to activity after ulceration, and it is recommended that those with open ulcers or peripheral artery disease perform stretching and strengthening exercises.

We investigated the effects of multisensory stimulation combined to standard care versus standard care alone on the length of hospital stay and weight gain in hospitalized preterm infants.

Auditory–Tactile–Visual-Vestibular intervention combined with standard care increased the total weight gain.

Tactile-Kinesthesic stimulation combined with standard care reduced the number of days at the hospital and increased the daily weight gain and the total weight gain.

Kangaroo method care combined with standard care increased the daily weight gain.
