The content of diagnostic information has an immediate effect on pain with loading in people with midportion Achilles tendinopathy: a randomized clinical experiment
Nigel J Travers, Mervyn J Travers, William Gibson, James R Debenham, Dana A Hince, Benedict M Wand
Highlights

  • The content of diagnostic information influenced pain intensity with loading in people with Achilles tendinopathy.

  • The effect on motor function was uncertain, though the changes observed might indicate decreased confidence in loading the tendon in those given a pathology orientated explanation.

  • The results of this study should prompt clinicians to carefully consider the language they use when discussing the factors contributing to the clinical condition in people with Achilles tendinopathy.

Eduardo Frio Marins, Tiago Thompsen Primo, Breno Berny Vasconcelos, Mauricio Tatsch Ximenes Carvalho, Lorena de Lima Oppelt, Victor Hugo Guesser Pinheiro, Fabrício Gonzales Scaglioni, Dirceu Antonio Maraschin Junior, ... Cristine Lima Alberton
Highlights

  • M-health interventions combining exercise and education are well accepted by PSW.

  • M-health exercise interventions reduce pain, disability, and improve mental health.

  • Mobile interventions provide a flexible solution for PSW.

Masterclass
Rehabilitation management of the chronic pain-hypertension synergy: Proposal of an evidence-informed framework
Renzo Mendoza, Craig Hensley, Jennifer Ryan, Todd Davenport
Highlights

  • Chronic pain and hypertension (HTN) are intertwined global health challenges, with substantial societal and economic burdens.

  • Evidence suggests a bidirectional relationship between chronic pain and HTN, influenced by shared risk factors such as metabolic syndrome, obesity, poor sleep quality, and mental health conditions.

  • Physical therapists (PTs) can play a pivotal role in managing patients with chronic pain and HTN through evidence-informed screening, assessment, and interventions.

  • The proposed framework integrates biopsychosocial models for personalized pain management and emphasizes blood pressure monitoring for safe, effective interventions.

Systematic Review
Factors related to motor outcomes in adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy: A systematic review
Rayane Félix Lôbo Monteiro, Camila Araújo Santos Santana, Paula Silva de Carvalho Chagas, Ana Carolina de Campos
Highlights

  • Individuals with CP can experience motor decline during transition to adulthood.

  • Previous reviews summarized factors leading to decline in gait, but not in other motor-related outcomes.

  • Age, GMFCS level, and presence of pain stood out as significant for a decline in gross motor function, gait, and neuromusculoskeletal functions.

  • Factors relevant to motor outcomes should be monitored by professionals providing rehabilitation to adolescents and adults.

Immersive virtual reality versus cervical mobilization: The effects on joint position sense and pain for chronic neck pain - a randomized controlled trial
Hatice Cetin, Selenay Aydogdu, Birol Onal, Esra Dulger, Sevil Bilgin, Halil Kamil Oge, Nezire Kose
Highlights

  • Virtual reality when added to traditional exercises provided no additional.benefit for joint position sense.

  • Cervical mobilization when added to traditional exercises provided no additional benefit for joint position sense.

  • Virtual reality when added to traditional exercises provided no additional benefit for pain relief.

  • Cervical mobilization when added to traditional exercises provided no additional benefit for pain relief.

Association between pitching velocity and elbow varus torque
Scott Peters, Garrett S. Bullock, Kristen F. Nicholson
Highlights

  • Small associations were seen with pitching mechanics and elbow torque when controlling for pitch velocity. This suggests that varus torques can potentially be reduced while maintaining pitch velocity.

  • Optimizing pitching efficiency by improving small aspects throughout the delivery will likely lead to increased coaching effectiveness vs attempting to find one variable.

  • Differences in association were seen in pelvic rotational velocity and thoracic rotational velocity, suggesting potential ramifications for the oblique musculature in force generation. This is an area for further research and focus.

Editorial
Technology for healthcare professionals' education about the early detection of cerebral palsy
Adriana Neves dos Santos, Melissa Gladstone, Alessandra Lemos de Carvalho, Liliane dos Santos Machado, Egmar Longo
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101214
Highlights

  • Cerebral Palsy is the leading cause of physical disability worldwide.

  • The early detection of cerebral palsy enables timely interventions, benefiting children's developmental outcomes.

  • A framework has guided clinical practices for the early detection of cerebral palsy achieving high accuracy.

  • The framework implementation in low- and middle-income countries has been challenging.

  • Translated educational resources and technology-driven strategies might enhance early cerebral palsy detection and clinical decision-making.
