DiTA is a physical therapy-related online diagnostic test accuracy literature database.
- •
Users in almost every country in the world have accessed DiTA; Brazil ranks 1st.
- •
User experience was assessed with 25 typical users through search tasks and surveys.
- •
DiTA could be learnt quickly and scored above usability average (62nd percentile).
- •
DiTA’s content was its most appealing feature but some functions confused users.
- •
The prevalence of sarcopenia was 21.3 %.
- •
The SARCCalF was better at identifying individuals at risk of sarcopenia.
- •
The SARCCalF demonstrated better diagnostic performance than the SARC-F.
- •
Neck pain has less impact on daily activities compared to migraine headaches.
- •
Neck pain is uncomfortable for patients with migraine in their daily lives.
- •
Posture, emotions, and headache are believed to be the causal factors of neck pain.
- •
Patients with migraine have difficulty understanding how to manage neck pain.
- •
Healthcare professionals should assess symptoms other than headache in migraine.
- •
Different exercises produce similar musculoskeletal adaptations.
- •
The difference in biological adaptations is related to the total work performed.
- •
Clinical trials compare exercises without adjusting for total work.
- •
Aerobic exercise: Total work can be calculated using duration and activity load variables.
- •
Strength training: Total work can be calculated using the sets, time under tension, and load.
- •
It is unclear which physical therapy modality works best for patients with PVD.
- •
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is effective in managing PVD on its own.
- •
Hydrotherapy combined with exercise was also effective in managing PVD.
- •
Low-intensity exercise reduces hyperalgesia via µ-opioid receptor activation.
- •
Exercise reduces escape latency in MCAS, improving cognitive pain response.
- •
Naloxone blocked the analgesic and cognitive effects induced by exercise.
- •
Exercise decreased IL-4 and BDNF in the PFC; naloxone prevented these reductions.
- •
In the brainstem, naloxone reduced IL-4, IL-10, and BDNF levels.
- •
The majority of the sample had an internal locus of control.
- •
There was no significant change in the locus at baseline and endpoint of observation.
- •
Locus, treatment, and interaction between them are not predictors of pain and functional ability.
- •
The locus did not influence the global perceived effect.
- •
Older cyclists and males have a significantly higher lifetime prevalence of hEAMC.
- •
EAMC in cyclists affects mainly the quadriceps muscles.
- •
EAMC in cyclists occurs mainly in the 4th quarter during a race.
- •
Risk factors for hEAMC: experience, chronic disease, allergies, medications, past injury.
- •
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can lead to forefoot deformity.
- •
A foot-specific intervention did not mitigate forefoot deformity.
- •
26 % of participants had progression of forefoot deformity.
- •
Change in bone mineral density predicted forefoot deformity progression.
