Perform a systematic critical appraisal of current clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for frozen shoulder.

Seated exercises can reduce the need for in-person assistance during remote-delivered programs, but its safety implications in stroke are unknown.

The Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy's Intensity Matters campaign recommends the implementation of high-intensity locomotor training for all patients with neurologic dysfunction with goals to improve walking.

Body lateropulsion (BL) is a phenomenon in which the body involuntarily falls to one side; however, its detailed postural control characteristics remain unclear.

Varus thrust (VT) is a frequently reported abnormal gait pattern in patients with medial knee osteoarthritis (KOA). VT is important to prevent KOA progression. However, there is no consensus on the relationship between VT and foot alignment and flexibility, although it has been reported that patients with KOA have pronated foot.

Dementia is a leading cause of disability. Physiotherapists play a crucial role in caring for people with dementia. However, previous research has found that physiotherapists have low knowledge and confidence working with people with dementia.

Non-specific low back pain (LBP) is a major health concern associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Understanding the multifactorial risk factors is essential for developing effective management and prevention strategies.

Inconsistent findings concerning the effects of music therapy on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have been reported.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuron disease and presentation varies. There is limited description of this variability and how physical therapy (PT) specific movement system diagnoses (MSD) may impact care.

Low back pain significantly impacts global health, particularly in low-income areas where primary care challenges are prevalent. Assessing both biophysical and psychological factors associated with low back pain-related disability is crucial for developing effective screening and management strategies.

Comparisons of talar cartilage and the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) profiles in individuals with different levels of chronic ankle instability (CAI) provide insight into early adaptation of tissue morphology.

Assessing hand function is essential for many people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The Measure of Activity Performance of the Hand (MAP-Hand) allows a rapid evaluation of the hand.

The Community Physiotherapist model is an on-call service within the primary care setting, consisting of four consultations for people with chronic functional limitations. It was designed, developed and introduced as a project for the first time in Italy in 2021 and it has been shown to be effective and safe.

Physiotherapy has demonstrated significant benefits in enhancing quality of life and managing symptoms of people in need of palliative care (PC). Despite these benefits, palliative physiotherapy is infrequently integrated into community-based care, where most PC services are delivered. The limited prevalence of these treatments highlights the need to explore the factors influencing their delivery in home settings.

A combination of hamstring stretching and strengthening exercises may benefit patients with knee osteoarthritis by promoting pain relief and disability improvement.

For people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), high-intensity exercise in individual or group format can improve function and quality of life (QoL). Individualized virtual exercise programs have been effective for people with PD, but the feasibility and impact of group exercise in the virtual format has not been investigated.

Face-to-face access to exercise programs, including standard exercises (SE) and core stability exercises (CSE), can be challenging for many total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients.

Integrating aerobic exercise (AE) into rehabilitation programs for post-stroke individuals could enhance motor recovery and cardiovascular health by increasing brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and the myokine irisin. Chronic stroke survivors typically exhibit elevated matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) activity, which is negatively correlated with steps and time in medium cadence, although the impact of AE on this biomarker remains unclear.

Chronic painful temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a functional pain syndrome that embodies a spectrum of clinical manifestations and expresses great complexity through the coexistence of multiple comorbidities.
