Braz J Phys Ther. 2021;25:135-46
9473
Highlights

  • Patient education, physical exercise, and weight maintenance constitute the first-line knee osteoarthritis treatment approach.

  • There is still neglect of evidence-based strategies in clinical practice.

  • Less than 40% of patients with knee OA receive first-line treatment.

  • The use of adjunct therapies, isolated or in association with gold-standard treatments, is questionable.

  • Surgery is typically a last resort for the management of knee osteoarthritis.

Effectiveness of virtual reality in children and young adults with cerebral palsy: a systematic review of randomized controlled trial
Junior Vitorino Fandim, Bruno Tirotti Saragiotto, Gustavo José Martiniano Porfírio, Renato Figueiredo Santana
Braz J Phys Ther. 2021;25:369-86
5761
Highlights

  • In recent years virtual reality (VR) has been used alone and as an adjunct intervention in the treatment of patients with cerebral palsy (CP).

  • VR plus conventional rehabilitation can improve upper limb function and lower limb strength in patients with CP.

  • VR alone is no better than other treatments to improve upper and lower limb function in patients with CP.

  • VR alone can improve postural control, balance, and lower limb function in patients with CP.

  • Further research is needed to better define the effectiveness of VR in patients with CP.
