Effects of resistance training on quality of life, fatigue, and pain in patients undergoing cancer treatment: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis
Pablo Hernández-Nahuelcoy, Joaquín Salazar-Méndez, Ivana Leão Ribeiro, Cristian Salazar-Orellana, Luis Suso-Martí, Joaquín Calatayud, Rubén López-Bueno, Lars Louis Andersen, ... Rodrigo Núñez-Cortés
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101595
Highlights

  • RT in patients in breast cancer therapy es effective for reduce fatigue and pain intensity.

  • The maximum effect in reducing fatigue is achieved at 2800 repetitions in breast cancer.

  • The maximum effect in reducing pain intensity is achieved at 8800 repetitions in breast cancer.

  • No significant effect in favor of RT was seen in prostate cancer.

  • Better reporting on resistance exercises is needed.

Reduced handgrip and inspiratory muscle strength are associated with lower lung function and physical capacity in children and adolescents born preterm with very low birth weight
Rafael Oliveira Fernandes, Simone Lanius dos Reis, Laura Silveira de Moura, Marina Abs da Cruz Rodrigues, Victoria Baptista dos Santos, Almiro Sagás Evaristo, Valentina Coutinho Baldoto Gava Chakr, Renato Soibelmann Procianoy, ... Rita C Silveira
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101582
Highlights

  • Physical health is impaired in young individuals born preterm in Southern Brazil.

  • Reduced inspiratory muscle strength is observed in children born preterm with VLBW.

  • Reduced handgrip strength is observed in children born preterm with VLBW.

  • Reduced muscle strength is associated with lower lung function in preterm individuals.

  • Reduced muscle strength in preterm-born youth highlights the need for early intervention.

Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101584
Highlights

  • Hypopressive exercise did not reduce diastasis recti abdominis.

  • Hypopressive exercise was able to improve muscle function in women with diastasis.

  • Women had fewer pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms after hypopressive exercises.

Julya Perea, Angelica Viana Ferrari, Hugo Jario Almeida Silva, Ana Elisa Serafim Jorge, Lucas Ogura Dantas, Gabriel Mattos Ferreti, Anderson Aparecido Fogaça, Paula Regina Mendes da Silva Serrão, ... Tania de Fatima Salvini
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101594
Highlights

  • Cryotherapy did not result in additional pain reduction at rest when combined with an exercise protocol.

  • Cryotherapy did not result in additional improvements in physical function when combined with an exercise protocol.

  • Cryotherapy did not result in additional improvements in quality of life when combined with an exercise protocol.

  • When participants follow an exercise protocol, cryotherapy does not offer additional effects.

  • There were no differences between using cryotherapy and the sham protocol.

Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101580
Highlights

  • Peanut ball positioning reduces the duration of labor.

Knowledge, self-perception and ability of pelvic floor muscle contraction among Nepalese women with urinary incontinence
B Khadgi, B Stuge, K Bø, R Acharya, C Brandt, A Stensdotter
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101598
Highlights

  • Nepalese women showed low knowledge about UI, the PFM and PFMT.

  • Most women in the sample perceived they could contract the PFM.

  • Less than one-third of the women performed a correct PFM contraction.

  • Ability to contract the PFM were not related to knowledge on PFMT or the PFM

  • Self-perception on contraction was contradicting the clinical inability to contract

An independent validation of a clinical prediction rule for the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy with radicular pain
Francis Grondin, Chad Cook, Toby Hall, Olivier Maillard, Yannick Perdrix, Sebastien Freppel
Braz J Phys Ther. 2026;30: 101581
Highlights

  • New 3-test cluster showed stronger diagnostic utility than original CPR.

  • New cluster includes Spurling, Shoulder Abduction test, ≥2 positive ULNTs.

  • Positive cluster (3/3) rules in CR with 100 % post-test probability.

  • Negative (0/3) cluster rules out cervical radiculopathy diagnosis.

  • Modified Shoulder Abduction test showed higher post-test probability.
