20.01.2022 #LowbackResearch - Ferreira et al. 2020 Conclusion: "People who have had low back pain should be advised explicitly about which exercise programs reduce recurrence. Understanding low back pain patients' preferences can help inform the implementation of existing prevention programs and guide the design of new prevention programs."

20.01.2022 #LowBackResearch - Thornton et al. 2020 Conclusion: "While several treatments for LBP in athletes improved pain and function, it was unclear what the most effective treatments were, and for whom. Exercise approaches generally reduced pain and improved function in athletes with LBP, but the effect on RTS is unknown. No conclusions regarding the value of manual therapy (massage, spinal manipulation) or biomechanical modifications alone could be drawn because of insufficient evi...dence. High-quality RCTs are urgently needed to determine the effect of commonly used interventions in treating LBP in athletes."

See our Instagram here ... https://www.instagram.com/physioresearch/ Ref:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7727410/
20.01.2022 #ShoulderResearch Conclusion: "The shoulder strengthening exercise programme was feasible and safe for people with HSD and long-lasting shoulder symptoms. A future RCT, with an improved recruitment strategy, will demonstrate whether the exercise programme is also effective in improving symptoms and muscle-tendon function in this population." See our Instagram here ... https://www.instagram.com/physioresearch/ Ref:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32670599/

Tim Rowland put together this blog post answering https://www.physio-network.com/weight-training-stunts-grow/ Video credit: @Coach Ibanez
18.01.2022 #LowerLegResearch - Green et al. 2020 Conclusion: "A running-related mechanism of injury and the presence of AD on MRI were associated with a longer RTP period. Clinical rather than MRI data best indicate the risk of recurrent CMSI." See our Instagram here ... https://www.instagram.com/physioresearch/ Ref: https://read.qxmd.com//return-to-play-and-recurrence-after
17.01.2022 #WristResearch Conclusion: "In the long term, manual therapy including desensitization maneuvers of the central nervous system resulted in similar outcomes and similar surgery rates compared to surgery in women with CTS. Both interventions were combined with a tendon/nerve gliding exercise program at home. " See our Instagram here ... https://www.instagram.com/physioresearch/ Ref:https://academic.oup.com///doi/10.1093/ptj/pzaa150/5881394
17.01.2022 #LowerLegResearch - Aufwerber et al. 2020 Conclusion: "EFM results in more Achilles tendon elongation at early healing, but this difference subsides over time. EFM does not seem to affect patient outcome via changes in tendon elongation, thickening, or calf muscle atrophy." See our Instagram here ... https://www.instagram.com/physioresearch/ Ref: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0363546520956677
16.01.2022 #KneeResearch Conclusion: "Early NMES use reduced skeletal muscle fiber atrophy in MHC II fibers and preserved contractility in MHC I fibers. These results provide seminal, cellular-level data demonstrating the utility of the early use of NMES to beneficially modify skeletal muscle maladaptations to ACLR."

15.01.2022 #LowBackResearch Conclusion: "Our findings indicated that spinal manipulation and spinal mobilization were no more effective than a well-chosen placebo in reducing pain and disability in patients with chronic low back pain. We conclude that these manipulative therapy techniques do not appear to be effective for chronic low back pain, at least among relatively young individuals with mild to moderate back pain.

13.01.2022 #ThighResearch - Buckthorpe et al. 2020 Conclusions: "The hamstrings are important for the ACL and knee as a whole. After ACLR and more so when using the hamstrings as the choice of graft, their recovery during the functional recovery process is important. Failure to recover strength of the hamstring muscles may compromise knee health and elevate re-injury risk upon RTS. This is likely due to inability to compress and stabilise the knee and prevent alterations in frontal and ...traverse plane knee control, known to stress the ACL. It is suggested to emphasise greater importance on the recovery of hamstring strength after ACLR, and here is presented some important considerations. It is recommended to utilise a holistic approach to target the recovery of both knee flexor and hip extensor strength as well as multiplanar function. This should involve a periodised resistance training programme aligned to the ACL functional recovery approach. A progressive approach from isolated low intensity to functional and high-intensity training aligned to the overall knee status is recommended with screening of hamstring function as part of criterion-based functional recovery and RTS."

13.01.2022 #NeckResearch Conclusion: "Several patient interview items, the Spurling test and reduced reflexes are useful to assist in the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy. Because there is no gold standard for cervical radiculopathy, caution is required to not over-interpret diagnostic accuracy values." See our Instagram here ... https://www.instagram.com/physioresearch/ Ref:https://www.physiotherapyjournal.com//S0031-9406(/fulltext
12.01.2022 #FootResearch - Saki et al. 2020 Conclusions: "Athletes with previous ankle sprain history, knee recurvatum, and especially navicular drop may have a greater risk of LAS injury. The data from this study can help therapists and trainers to identify people with a higher risk of LAS."

12.01.2022 #ElbowResearch - Coombes et al. 2015 Conclusion: "Unraveling the complex etiology and mechanisms underlying the persistence of pain in patients with LET is challenging. We highlight several prognostic factors, including central sensitization, local structural damage (eg, tendon and ligament tears), and comorbid musculoskeletal pain, and discuss their significance in terms of design of physical rehabilitation programs. We propose a preliminary algorithm based on risk of poor o...utcomes as a means of guiding clinical decision making regarding treatment options for patients with LET."

07.01.2022 #KneeResearch - Winters et al. 2020 Conclusion: "Education combined with a physical treatment (exercise, orthoses or patellar taping/mobilisation) is most likely to be effective. There was insufficient evidence to recommend a specific type of physical treatment, or a combination of physical treatments, over another. All treatments analysed in our NMA were superior to wait and see at 3 months, and we recommend avoiding a wait-and-see approach" See our Instagram here ... https://www.instagram.com/physioresearch/ Ref: https://bjsm.bmj.com//ear/2020/10/25/bjsports-2020-102819
07.01.2022 #PelvisResearch Conclusion: "Women with high fear-avoidance beliefs at 34-37 weeks of gestation had a higher risk of having lumbopelvic pain at 6 months postpartum. We theorize that early lumbopelvic pain intervention postpartum may be important in avoiding chronicity. Women at risk can be identified through clinically relevant questions which may help the clinician to choose appropriate rehabilitation strategies."

03.01.2022 #LowBackResearch Conclusion: "Overall low-moderate level evidence supports the diagnostic utility of patient history, clinical examination and screening tool data to identify NP in LBLP. The weak evidence base is largely due to methodological flaws and indirectness regarding applicability of the included studies. The most promising diagnostic tools include a cluster of 8 patient history/clinical examination signs and the StEP tool. Low risk of bias and high level of evidence ...diagnostic utility studies are needed, in order for stronger recommendations to be made."
