Systematic review
Acute effect of aerobic and resistance exercise on glycemia in individuals with type 2 diabetes: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Josiane Aparecida de Almeida, Ana Paula Delgado Bomtempo Batalha, Carolina Vargas de Oliveira Santos, Tamiris Schaeffer Fontoura, Mateus Camaroti Laterza, Lilian Pinto da Silva
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101146
Highlights

  • Exercise is a fundamental component in treating type 2 diabetes.

  • The glycemic response to a single exercise session differs based on exercise type.

  • Continuous aerobic exercise reduces glycemia up to 10 min after its completion.

  • Interval aerobic exercise reduces glycemia up to 30 min after its completion.

  • Resistance exercise reduces glycemia up to 1 min after its completion.

Association between white matter integrity and lower limb motor impairment after stroke: A systematic review
Renata Loureiro-Chaves, Elissa Embrechts, Amber van Hinsberg, Jonas Schröder, Cathy M. Stinear, Laetitia Yperzeele, Wim Saeys, Steven Truijen
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101153
Highlights

  • We reviewed the literature on anatomical substrates of lower limb outcome post-stroke.

  • White matter pathways may help to identify outcome phenotypes post-stroke.

  • Findings suggest that CST integrity is associated with lower limb strength outcome.

  • Studies with longitudinal measures may identify mechanisms driving motor recovery.

  • Future studies should include a range of neural tracts in addition to the CST.

High-intensity interval training versus moderate-intensity continuous training on exercise capacity and health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis
Mansueto Gomes-Neto, Andre Rodrigues Durães, Lino Sérgio Rocha Conceição, Cassio Magalhães Silva, Bruno Prata Martinez, Vitor Oliveira Carvalho
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101137
Highlights

  • HIIT improves peak VO2 and should be considered as a component of care of patients with coronary artery disease.

  • An important caveat is uncertainty and variation of actual training intensities compared to program targets.

  • The superiority of HIIT over MICT in improving VO2peak disappeared when analysis was restricted to isocaloric protocols.

Physical therapist-delivered motivational interviewing and health-related behaviour change: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Elizabeth Wintle, Nicholas F Taylor, Katherine Harding, Paul O'Halloran, Casey L Peiris
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101168
Highlights

  • Physical therapists can proficiently deliver motivational interviewing (MI)

  • MI produced a small increase in physical activity compared to minimal intervention.

  • Usual-care physical therapy may sufficiently address health-related behaviour change.

  • MI may be most beneficial for patients not actively receiving physical therapy care.

Original research
Low back pain prevalence, capacity, and performance according to sociodemographic variables, population-based study in Chile
Marina Carvalho Arruda Barreto, Fabianna Resende Jesus-Moraleida, Valeria Campos, Ricardo Cartes-Velásquez, Shamyr Sulyvan Castro
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101151
Highlights

  • There is a higher prevalence of LBP among specific sociodemographic groups.

  • People with LBP have worse capacity and performance levels compared to people without LBP.

  • Sex, age, education, and health status were associated with capacity and performance.

  • There is a need for a comprehensive biopsychosocial analysis of LBP.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and measurement properties of the prolapse and incontinence knowledge quiz (PIKQ-Br) for Brazilian women with urinary incontinence
Carla Coutinho da Silva, Rodrigo Cappato de Araújo, Danielly Alves Amorim, Ana Eliza Rios de Araújo Mathias, Ana Carolina Rodarti Pitangui
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101155
Highlights

  • The PIKQ-Br presented adequate measurement properties.

  • Positive and moderate correlations were observed between the PIKQ-UI with 12 questions and PIKQ-UI with 10.

  • PIKQ-Br demonstrated that the original instrument with 12 questions and one factor was not appropriate.

  • PIKQ-Br with 10 questions and two-factor loadings showed good validity and high reliability.

Reliability of the McKenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy in the examination of spinal pain, including the OTHER classifications
Hans van Helvoirt, Henk Tempelman, Puck van der Vet, Frank van der Vet, Job van Helvoirt, Richard Rosedale, Adri Apeldoorn
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101154
Highlights

  • The Mckenzie Method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) spinal classification system consists of three main MDT syndromes and the classification OTHER.

  • In reliability studies, the 10 different classifications under OTHER (e.g. spinal stenosis, chronic pain syndrome) has always been grouped together as one classification.

  • In a Dutch medical centre (Rugpoli) that provides secondary and tertiary level care, the prevalence of patients classified as OTHER is 63%.

  • The results showed that the reliability between experienced, highly trained MDT clinicians of Rugpoli was almost perfect.

Conceptual framework for the associations between trunk and lower limb muscle parameters and physical performance in community-dwelling older women
Daniela Cristina Carvalho de Abreu, Melise Jacon Peres-Ueno, Jaqueline Mello Porto
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101143
Highlights

  • Physical performance is associated with different muscle variables.

  • Peak torque of the hip flexors is associated with gait speed.

  • Trunk muscles were associated with the main physical performance tests.

Test-retest reliability and internal structure of the Brazilian version of the impact on participation and autonomy (IPA-Br4) for individuals with physical disabilities
Ana Amélia Moraes Antunes, Graciandre Almeida Neves, Bianca Pantuzza Santana Rojas, Daniela Virgínia Vaz
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101152
Highlights

  • The IPA-Br4 has adequate test-retest reliability and internal structure.

  • The IPA-Br4 can be used with adults with varied physical disabilities.

  • The IPA-Br4 needs to be tested for other measurement properties.

Physical functions assessed by lower limb performance-based and self-reported outcome measures for knee musculoskeletal conditions: A scoping review
Andrés Pierobon, Will Taylor, Richelle Caya, Federico Villalba, Santiago Soliño, Pablo Oscar Policastro, Richard Siegert, Ben Darlow
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101166
Highlights

  • Climbing stairs was the most assessed physical function.

  • Lower limb physical functions performance tests assess a limited number of activities.

  • Knee OA outcome measures rarely assess challenging activities like running or jumping.

  • Some issues related to the drafting of self-reported items were found.

Is self-reported symptom duration in individuals with patellofemoral pain an accurate measure? An observational longitudinal study
Ronaldo Valdir Briani, Ana Flávia Botta Balotari, Marina Cabral Waiteman, Fernando Henrique Magalhães, David M. Bazett-Jones, Fábio Mícolis de Azevedo
Braz J Phys Ther. 2025;29:101167
Highlights

  • Self-reported symptom duration is not accurate in individuals with patellofemoral pain.

  • Care should be taken when accurate measures of symptom duration are important.

  • Techniques may be used to provide more accurate reports.
