Cognitive function and gait speed in older adults: Findings from the ELSI-Brazil study
Danielle Soares Rocha Vieira, Laís Coan Fontanela, Vanessa Pereira Corrêa Rampinelli, Nathália Tamara Stedile, Cesar de Oliveira, Ione Jayce Ceola Schneider
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101619
Highlights

  • Global cognitive impairment was associated with slower gait speed in older adults.

  • Impaired global cognition increased slower gait prevalence by 63%.

  • Verbal fluency and delayed memory showed the strongest associations with gait.

  • speed.

  • Higher education attenuated the association between cognitive impairment and gait speed.

Effect of a multimodal exercise training program on sleep in older adults: a randomized controlled trial
Eduardo dos Santos Soares Monteiro, Jennifer Ariely Sales Suassuna, Anderson José Melo Rodrigues da Silva, Alesandra Araújo de Souza, Amilton da Cruz Santos, Maria do Socorro Brasileiro-Santos
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101602
Highlights

  • Supervised, moderate-intensity, multimodal training delivered over 16 weeks improves sleep in older adults.

  • Those who underwent training experienced an increase in sleep efficiency, achieved by reducing sleep latency, average awakenings, sleep fragmentation, and WASO.

  • Older adults showed high adherence to the training programme. Therefore, these findings provide valuable information for decision-making when choosing the most appropriate exercise modalities for older populations.

  • These findings could contribute to the recommendation of multimodal training as a strategy to improve sleep.

Translation, cultural adaption, and measurement properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the dialysis patient-perceived exercise benefits and barriers scale (DPEBBS–BP)
Marcieli A. Martins, Gabriela L.M. Ghisi, Marvery P. Duarte, Jacqueline F.S. Monteiro, Heitor S. Ribeiro, Danielle S.R. Vieira, Daiana C. Bundchen
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101601
Highlights

  • The DPEBBS-BP presented adequate measurement properties.

  • Overall, participants scored benefits higher than barriers.

  • Younger and physically active individuals perceived greater benefits.

  • Barriers showed moderate correlations with DASI and the functional capacity domain (SF-36).

  • This is a valuable tool for Brazilian professionals to evaluate people on hemodialysis.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and measurement properties of the Back pain knowledge and beliefs survey (BacKS) for the Brazilian population
Leticia Amaral Corrêa, Mark J. Hancock, Stephanie Mathieson, Leandro Alberto Calazans Nogueira, Tatiane da Silva, Bruno Saragiotto, Louise Acalantis Pereira Pires Fernandes, Ben Darlow, Simon D. French
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101600
Highlights

  • BacKS was successfully translated into Brazilian Portuguese (BacKS-BR).

  • The BacKS-BR has adequate content, construct, and structural validity.

  • Internal consistency and reliability were both acceptable (>0.70).

  • BacKS-BR showed acceptable cross-cultural measurement invariance.

  • BacKS-BR can be used to assess evidence-based understanding of low back pain.

Single-set versus three-set resistance training in the management of women with patellofemoral pain: A randomized clinical trial
Lucas Severo-Silveira, Eduardo Garcia, Joana D’arc Viana-Dias, Lucas de Souza Roberti, Fábio Viadanna Serrão, Bruno Manfredini Baroni
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101599
Highlights

  • Patients achieved similar reductions in knee pain with single- and three-set resistance training.

  • Patients improved self-reported function to a similar extent with single- and three-set resistance training.

  • Both training approaches produced comparable gains in muscle strength and hop performance.

  • Single-set resistance training represents an effective and time-efficient intervention for the initial management of patellofemoral pain (PFP).

An independent validation of a clinical prediction rule for the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy with radicular pain
Francis Grondin, Chad Cook, Toby Hall, Olivier Maillard, Yannick Perdrix, Sebastien Freppel
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101581
Highlights

  • New 3-test cluster showed stronger diagnostic utility than original CPR.

  • New cluster includes Spurling, Shoulder Abduction test, ≥2 positive ULNTs.

  • Positive cluster (3/3) rules in CR with 100% post-test probability.

  • Negative (0/3) cluster rules out cervical radiculopathy diagnosis.

  • Modified Shoulder Abduction test showed higher post-test probability.

Knowledge, self-perception and ability of pelvic floor muscle contraction among Nepalese women with urinary incontinence
B Khadgi, B Stuge, K Bø, R Acharya, C Brandt, A Stensdotter
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101598
Highlights

  • Nepalese women showed low knowledge about UI, the PFM and PFMT.

  • Most women in the sample perceived they could contract the PFM.

  • Less than one-third of the women performed a correct PFM contraction.

  • Ability to contract the PFM were not related to knowledge on PFMT or the PFM

  • Self-perception on contraction was contradicting the clinical inability to contract

Effects of resistance training on quality of life, fatigue, and pain in patients undergoing cancer treatment: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
Pablo Hernández-Nahuelcoy, Joaquín Salazar-Méndez, Ivana Leão Ribeiro, Cristian Salazar-Orellana, Luis Suso-Martí, Joaquín Calatayud, Rubén López-Bueno, Lars Louis Andersen, ... Rodrigo Núñez-Cortés
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101595
Highlights

  • RT in patients in breast cancer therapy es effective for reduce fatigue and pain intensity.

  • The maximum effect in reducing fatigue is achieved at 2800 repetitions in breast cancer.

  • The maximum effect in reducing pain intensity is achieved at 8800 repetitions in breast cancer.

  • No significant effect in favor of RT was seen in prostate cancer.

  • Better reporting on resistance exercises is needed.
