Relevance of improved reporting for non-pharmacological interventions in clinical trials: Bridging research to clinical practice
Francisco Alburquerque-Sendín, Daiana Priscila Rodrigues-de-Souza
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101653
Highlights

  • Incomplete intervention reporting makes effective treatments hard to reproduce in clinical practice.

  • Registries, journals, and reviews should require the application of intervention description and fidelity‑assessment tools.

  • Systematic reviews and guidelines must appraise intervention reporting and contextual feasibility, not only risk of bias.

  • Improving the traceability and fidelity of interventions may temporarily reduce publication volume but ultimately strengthen clinical applicability.

An exploration of the factors predicting clinical responses to customized foot orthoses in individuals with plantar heel pain
Pavinee Harutaichun, Ninwisan Hengsomboon, Pichaya Hengsomboon, Prasert Sakulsriprasert, Jim Richards, Sunee Bovonsunthonchai
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101647
Highlights

  • Customized foot orthoses (CFOs) significantly improved pain and foot function in individuals with plantar heel pain after 6 months of use.

  • Higher low back disability and neural tension on the symptomatic side were associated with a lower likelihood of responding to CFOs.

  • The findings highlight the value of a comprehensive physical assessment, including spinal and neural factors, in predicting CFOs’ outcomes.

Mariana Nascimento Leite, Isabelle Bogard, Felipe José Jandre Reis, Renato José Soares, Yasmin Brasileiro de Souza, Bruno Tirotti Saragiotto, Steven J Kamper, Tiê Parma Yamato
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101645
Highlights

  • Children’s pain knowledge is moderate, with room for improvement in understanding.

  • Parents have slightly better pain knowledge than teachers, but both groups show gaps.

  • Teachers show excessive concern about pain, which may affect how they manage it.

  • Interest in pain topics includes treatments, causes, and types of pain.

  • Online methods, especially videos, are the preferred way to learn about pain.

Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101656
Highlights

  • Ankle pump exercises resulted in a small, short-term reduction in ankle oedema.

  • No influence was observed for pain, ankle range of motion, or function.

  • Ankle pump exercises provide no clinical benefit for acute ankle sprain.

Effectiveness of photobiomodulation therapy associated with multimodal therapeutic intervention program versus multimodal therapeutic intervention program in chronic non-specific neck pain: A randomized controlled trial
Aron Charles Barbosa da Silva, Gabriela Nascimento de Santana, Patrícia Gabrielle dos Santos, Carlos Eduardo Girasol, Adriano Rodrigues de Oliveira, Almir Vieira Dibai-Filho, Cid André Fidelis-De-Paula-Gomes
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101646
Highlights

  • Exercise and manual therapy improved function and reduced resting pain in neck pain.

  • In the dosimetry tested, PBMT was not superior when combined with treatment.

  • Findings are specific to this PBMT protocol and should not be generalized.

  • Exercise and manual therapy are sufficient for managing chronic neck pain.

ASSOBRAFIR clinical practice guidelines in intensive care physical therapy: Rehabilitation strategies in critically ill adults
Saint-Clair Gomes Bernardes Neto, Bruno Prata Martinez, Adriana Claudia Lunardi, Alexandre Simões Dias, Alexia Gabriela da Silva Vieira, Amanda Moreira Ferreira, Ana Carolina Pereira Nunes Pinto, André Luiz Lisboa Cordeiro, ... Gerson Cipriano
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101635
Highlights

  • It is recommended to use a structured and progressive early mobilization protocol instead of usual care in critically ill patients admitted to the ICU (SR, LMCoE).

  • It is recommended to use inspiratory muscle training instead of usual care in mechanically ventilated adult patients undergoing difficult or prolonged weaning (SR, MCoE).

  • It is not suggested using passive mobilization (including resources such as electrical stimulation or orthostatic board) alone compared with usual care in non-cooperative critically ill patients in the ICU (CR, VLCoE).

  • It is not suggested using inspiratory muscle training instead of usual care in mechanically ventilated adult patients under simple weaning (CR, LCoE).
