The closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test (CKCUEST) and the seated Single-Arm/ unilateral seated shot-put test showed adequate reliability.

The seated medicine ball throw is valid to evaluate upper body power.

Other upper extremity physical performance tests should be used with caution due to low quality of evidence or suboptimal measurement properties.

Varied interventions were reported for LHBT tendinopathy.

Modalities dominate studies while literature reviews stress multimodal care.

Evidence gaps persist in the conservative management of LHBT tendinopathy.

Non-invasive therapies are first-line interventions for lateral elbow tendinopathy.

Acupuncture and BMV are effective for disability in the short-term.

The long-term effects of non-invasive intervention are unknown.

Clinicians should be cautious in decision making as the evidence is still unclear.

MRP values increased with increasing age.

MEP values, both for girls and boys, were higher than the MIP values for all ages.

Boys had higher MIP and MEP values than girls, regardless of age group.

Large 95% CI values were observed for MIP and MEP, mainly for the 12–19 age group.

For clinical practice, the nationality of the study should be considered.

Hospitalization negatively affects functional capacity for BADLs and IADLs in older individuals.

Physical performance at baseline is related to functional capacity of the older adult at discharge.

Functional decline in hospitalized older adults can be predicted by testing handgrip strength at baseline.

Identifying hospitalized older adults at higher risk of functional decline should prompt early interventions.

Almost three in every 10 children and adolescent had disabling musculoskeletal pain.

Children and adolescents felt disabling musculoskeletal pain most on back and legs.

Parents tend to underestimate the presence of pain in their children.

The minimal important difference (MID) of the PASS was 3.0 points.

The MID helps in interpreting the clinical values of treatment outcomes.

The MID is crucial for patient-centered and evidence-based practice

In 2020, students’ beliefs regarding chronic pain were more biopsychosocial.

In 2020, students’ guideline adherence was higher except for work, it remained low.

4th year students have stronger biopsychosocial beliefs than 2nd year students.

Students’ beliefs regarding chronic pain differed significantly between institutions.

Actions are needed to improve students’ attitudes and beliefs regarding chronic pain.

Means-end problem-solving (MEPS) should be a focus of early intervention.

MEPS tools might support screening for impaired problem-solving in young children with motor delays.

More time may be required to solidify MEPS learning for children with significant motor delays.

START-Play plus usual care did not impact MEPS performance more than usual care alone.

The HMob scale showed excellent internal consistency and reliability.

The HMOB scale presents concurrent validity with the FSS and FIM scales.

The HMOB scale can be used in daily practice to measure mobility in hospital.

Children with DCD experience social responsiveness difficulties even without ASD.

These social responsiveness difficulties are not only a secondary consequence.

ASD might be underdiagnosed in children with DCD.

There are 1779 physical activity trials in the physiotherapy evidence database (PEDro).

The mean (SD) PEDro score was 5.3 (1.5) points out of 10, reflecting ‘fair to poor’ quality.

Journal impact factor is weakly correlated with trial quality (0.21, p < 0.001).

We make five recommendations to improve future trial quality.

MSK pain in children and adolescents is highly prevalent, yet instruments are scarce to measure MSK pain outcomes in children.

The Pediatric MSK Pain Impact summary score is a short and easy instrument to assess MSK pain impact in school-aged children (aged 9 to 12) with MSK pain.

The result of internal consistency was limited, and the construct validity showed borderline estimates of adequacy. However, the discriminative validity results showed that the instrument differentiates between children with frequent and infrequent MSK pain.
