Highlights

  • It is suggested to use combined training (aerobic + resistance) over aerobic training alone in people with COPD. (conditional recommendation, very low certainty of evidence).

  • It is not suggested either for or against adding IMT, NIV, or supplemental oxygen to combined training (aerobic + resistance) in people with COPD. (conditional recommendation, moderate to very low certainty of evidence).

  • It is suggested to use either interval training or continuous training in people with COPD. The committee was unable to recommend for or against the use of partitioned training and nonlinear training in people with COPD. (Conditional recommendation, moderate to very low certainty of evidence).

  • It is suggested to use maintenance exercise programs for people with COPD as an alternative to usual care after pulmonary rehabilitation programs. (Conditional recommendation, very low certainty of evidence).

  • It is suggested to use minimal resource exercise training (especially with elastic resistance) in people with COPD as an alternative to conventional training. (Conditional recommendation, very low certainty of evidence).

  • Overall results demonstrate improved gait function.

  • A clear, uniform surgical indication could not be determined.

  • Including the physical therapist in charge in the decision can be advised.

Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30:101537
1340
Highlights

  • 49.1 % of adults with DCD had co-occurring executive function (EF) deficits.

  • Cold EF deficits were more prevalent than hot emotion-related deficits.

  • Co-occurring EF deficits contribute to poor emotional, mental, and overall well-being.

  • EF should be evaluated in DCD care plan.

Highlights

  • BT with PFMT are important techniques in the treatment of women with overactive bladder. The combined therapy plays a fundamental role in improving irritative urinary symptoms and PFM function.

  • Patients' motivation and adherence to BT and PFMT are essential for therapeutic success.

  • BT with PFMT are easily reproducible non-invasive interventions, being the first-choice treatment for OAB with proven efficacy, and low cost and risk for women.

Assessing postural balance for predicting falls in individuals with Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A prospective cohort study
Bárbara Aparecida Teodoro Alcantara Verri, Caroline Maschio de Censo, Juliana de Melo Batista dos Santos, Rafaella Fagundes Xavier, João Marcos Salge, Regina Maria Carvalho-Pinto, Celso Ricardo Fernandes Carvalho
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30:101557

Highlights

  • Individuals with COPD have a higher fall risk, but studies predicting falls are scarce.

  • Falls were associated with greater center of pressure displacement post-effort.

  • The more challenging the assessed postural balance, the better the prediction.

  • Mini-BESTest scores did not reflect fall history in moderate-to-severe COPD.

  • Challenging balance tests seem to better identify fall risk in severe COPD.

Highlights

  • Low-intensity exercise reduces hyperalgesia via µ-opioid receptor activation.

  • Exercise reduces escape latency in MCAS, improving cognitive pain response.

  • Naloxone blocked the analgesic and cognitive effects induced by exercise.

  • Exercise decreased IL-4 and BDNF in the PFC; naloxone prevented these reductions.

  • In the brainstem, naloxone reduced IL-4, IL-10, and BDNF levels.
