Women with infertility benefit from exercise.

Social media was the primary source of information for exercise.

Barriers and facilitators to exercise must be considered by physical therapists.

Chronic pain care must shift to a biopsychosocial model focused on functionality.

Interdisciplinary work is essential in the management of chronic pain.

Exercise in active coping strategy should consider psychosocial, emotional, and contextual factors.

The extent of psychological factors increases as the SBT/CSI severity level increases.

Increased somatosensory sensitivity was seen often as the severity level increases.

The results provide intention for tailoring treatment for the specific LBP subgroups.

Outcomes of the HRET are influenced by personal characteristics.

Female sex, higher BMI, and low activity level link to lower HRET metrics.

Normative values may help track recovery and guide rehabilitation plans.

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.

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.

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.

A mediation analysis showcases the mechanisms underlying the effects of a cost-effective foot-ankle exercise program in modifying clinical and biomechanical outcomes.

A 12-week foot-ankle exercise program effectively improved foot function, mediated by reduced foot pain and enhanced ankle plantar flexion angle during push-off.

Foot function mediated the impact on forefoot peak pressure, while sagittal ankle ROM during gait stance phase mediated its effects on the forefoot pressure–time integral.

We explore how fear and avoidance can be learned and lead to disability.

We explore the fear learning theory to physical therapy clinical practice.

We discuss behavioral frameworks to address movement-related fear and avoidance.

We illustrate practical application through a patient case study.

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.
