- •
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.
- •
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.
- •
Breast cancer treatments can cause numerous deleterious effects for survivors
- •
Aquatic exercises may help reduce complaints arising from cancer treatments
- •
Aquatic exercises may improve quality of life in patients with breast cancer compared to usual care.
- •
This review assesses the measurement properties of tools that assess thoracic kyphosis.
- •
Seventy-two studies assessing 15 different instruments were included.
- •
Clinical instruments showed moderate to strong correlation with the gold standard.
- •
Clinical instruments showed excellent levels of intra- and inter-rater reliability.
- •
Analog Inclinometer, Flexicurve Angle, and Smartphone applications are recommended.
- •
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.
- •
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.
- •
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.
- •
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.
- •
Post-COVID pulmonary fibrosis is a long-lasting medical condition impairing quality of life.
- •
For patients with chronic post-COVID pulmonary fibrosis, low-to-moderate intensity exercises are beneficial.
- •
In such patients, aerobic and combined training forms are more effective than resistance training.
- •
Six in every ten people with chronic back pain have one or more comorbidities.
- •
Comorbidities are more prevalent in people with chronic back pain than in those without chronic back pain.
- •
Cardiovascular disease, arthritis and depression are associated with activity limitations.
- •
Happiness may be an important protective factor in musculoskeletal pain.
- •
Nepali Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS-NP) has one factor solution.
- •
Item #4 was incomprehensible by Nepali adults.
- •
SHS-NP is reliable and valid tool to assess subjective happiness.
- •
Responsiveness and minimum important change needs further testing.
- •
16 stakeholders from various disciplines provided feedback at multiple stages.
- •
Barriers to integrate CBT-I in physical therapy practice are multifaceted.
- •
Strategies focus on roles for education, research, policymakers, and patient partners.
- •
Stronger transdisciplinary collaboration could enhance CBT-I accessibility.
- •
Insights inform future research on implementing CBT-I in physical therapy practice.
