Wheelchair basketball players with shoulder pain get localized pain sensitivity.

Basketball players without shoulder pain had similar pressure pain sensitivity.

Elite wheelchair basketball players with shoulder pain get active trigger points.

The referred pain elicited by active trigger points reproduced shoulder pain.

Basketball players without shoulder pain get similar latent trigger points.

Migraine is associated with high levels of disability and comorbidities.

Disability levels can be influenced by the presence of aura and migraine chronicity.

Manual and exercise therapy aim to reduce musculoskeletal pain and sensitization.

Balance and vestibular rehabilitation is suggested to enhance function and reduce dizziness.

Patients may benefit from physical examination and tailored treatment paths including education.

HRV is used to assess cardiac autonomic modulation.

HRV is useful to assess the effect of physical exercise programmes.

What are the common shortcomings of using the HRV methodology?

What are the recommendations of using HRV collection and analysis methods?

Checklist regarding the use of the HRV collection and analysis methodology.

This study investigated the influence between pelvis–trunk–shoulder.

Active reduction of anterior pelvic tilt decreased trunk extension.

Active reduction of anterior pelvic tilt increased lower trapezius activity.

The LCADL%total reflected better outcomes for COPD when compared to LCADLtotal.

The 28% cut-off point for LCADL has clinically relevant discriminatory power.

The LCADLtotal may compromise the interpretation of the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program effects.

The bridge test with knee extension is a valid test to measure core stability.

Trunk rotators strength predicts the performance during this test.

Hip extensors and internal rotators strength can also predict the performance during the test.

Addressing these muscles might be important in people with poor performance during the bridge test.

Measurement properties of most physical activity questionnaires have not been fully tested.

Construct validation and reliability of most physical activity questionnaires are not acceptable.

Methodological quality of most studies were considered poor.

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome patients had losses in hip muscle strength.

Flexion and rotation movements are reduced in FAI syndrome patients.

Reduced hip strength and motion should be considered during rehabilitation programs.

There was a large effect of BTI combined with other strategies on postural control at short-term.

Combining BTI with other intervention may enhance effects on postural control in young CP patients.

Due to the very low quality of the current evidence, caution is needed.

PEDro is a free global resource to support evidence-based physical therapy

PEDro indexes trials, reviews, and guidelines of physical therapy interventions

PEDro web-site, newsletter, videos, and social media are available in Portuguese

Trials are pre-appraised with the PEDro scale (Portuguese version available)

Keep up to date in 15 areas of practice with PEDro’s ‘Evidence in your inbox’

Three quarters of acute hip fracture patients were able to fully adhere with an Early Inpatient Exercise Program (EIEP).

Living at home, absence of disability/cognitive impairment and comorbidities before an acute hip fracture is associated with Early Inpatient Exercise Program adherence.

Early Inpatient Exercise Program adherence is an independent predictor of one-year survival in patients with acute hip fracture in community dwelling.

Aging reduces rib cage contribution and increase abdominal contribution.

Aging increases end-inspiratory and end-expiratory chest wall volumes.

Sitting position might benefit patients who present reduced tidal volume.

Posture influences all variables of breathing pattern and chest wall motion, except respiratory rate and duty cycle.

Women present higher thoracic contribution to the tidal volume.

It is important to evaluate dynamic balance ability during fall risk assessment.

The Mini-BESTest was the strongest individual predictor of falls in PD.

Individuals with scores less than 21.5/28 had 70.7% greater chance of falling.

Overall confidence of reviews of exercise for low back pain was very low.

Higher confidence was found in Cochrane reviews and reviews with registered protocol.

Confidence in the results is important to generate unbiased clinical recommendations.

Education, joint stabilization, and myofascial release were most used for patellar tendinopathy rehabilitation.

Quadriceps eccentrics, education, joint stabilization and lumbo-pelvic stabilization and hamstrings stretching were frequently used for patellar tendinopathy prevention.

Brazilian physical therapists consider pain, function and functional test results to discharge an athlete.

Our results revealed an inconsistency between interventions used in clinical practice and interventions recommended by the best available evidence.
