SRJ is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of the journal's impact.

Children with USCP have difficulties to use their hands and feel bothered with their performance.
- •
Extensive caregiver assistance may limit the child's performance in bimanual activities.
- •
Intervention should consider efficacy, time, and the child feeling bothered in bimanual activities.
- •
Almost one in three trials included in the NICE LBP CPG use suboptimal comparators.
- •
Invasive and non-surgical trials used more suboptimal comparators than pharmacological trials.
- •
Use of suboptimal comparators in a substantial proportion of trials may be misleading some CPGs leading to inconsistencies in recommendations.
- •
Using suboptimal comparators made treatments less likely to be recommended for use by NICE LBP CPG.
- •
This manuscript proposes a new physical therapy diagnostic concept.
- •
This proposition is based on the World Health Organisation classifications.
- •
This model goes beyond the health problem.
- •
It includes the impact of relevant impairments on everyday activities and performance.
- •
It is applicable to all patients in all contexts and practice domains.
- •
There is a high variation in measuring causal beliefs about low back pain.
- •
No measurement exists that clearly isolates causal beliefs from other belief domains.
- •
There is a lack of studies exploring longitudinal relationships between causal beliefs and health outcomes.
- •
Causal beliefs are just one element of a complex beliefs construct, and there is very little quantitative evidence from which its unique relevance can be judged.
- •
Interferential current probably reduces pain intensity and disability immediately post-treatment compared to placebo in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
- •
Interferential current may reduce pain, but not disability, immediately post-treatment compared to other interventions in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
- •
Interferential current combined with other intervention (massage or exercises) may not further reduce pain intensity and disability compared to other interventions provided in isolation immediately post-treatment in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
- •
The ecological-enactive approach to pain extends the biopsychosocial model.
- •
Clinical reasoning and practice centers around affordances: opportunities for action.
- •
Disabling pain is experienced as closed-off or “stuck” field of affordances.
- •
Therapist and patient work together to make sense of pain, complexity, and uncertainty.
- •
Together, they choose interventions aimed to “open-up” the field of affordances.
