Translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Portuguese-Brazil of NuHISS, Enlight, and uMARS
Easy access to the Internet enables the creation of many online applications. In this sense, questionnaires were developed to evaluate the usability of health area online applications: the National Usability-Focused Health Information System Scale (NuHISS), the Enlight, and the User Version of the Mobile Application Rating Scale (uMARS). Those scales do not have a Portuguese (Brazil) version which is adequate to Brazil's culture. As a consequence, they can not be properly used in Brazil.

Comparison of aquatic physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise in patients with chronic low back pain
To investigate and compare the effectiveness of aquatic physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise in the physical and functional performance of patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: Twenty-six participants were randomized into 3 groups, namely an aquatic physiotherapy group (AG), a therapeutic exercise group (EG), and a control group (CG). The pain, disability, and quality of life were compared before and after the exercise protocols for 2 months, twice a week, on alternate days, for 60  min.

Anterior cruciate ligament: A brief narrative review of main risk factors for injury and re-injury
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the main injuries in professional and amateur athletes of different sports. Hundreds of thousands of ACL ruptures occurs annually, and only 55% of the athletes return to competitive level, with a 15 times higher chance of suffering a second injury. 60% of these injuries occur without physical contact and since they occur in the acute process, they can cause joint effusion, muscle weakness and functional incapacity. In the long term, they can contribute to a premature process of osteoarthritis. (Source: Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies)

Manual & exercise therapy for treatment of chronic abdominal pain and diarrhea, a case report
A 34-year-old male with a 9+ year history of right sided abdominal pain, associated diarrhea and a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome was referred for physical therapy and chiropractic care at a multidisciplinary primary care clinic. Multiple evaluations by various providers resulted in multiple tests and numerous medications without substantial relief in symptoms. Five physical therapy visits and three sessions of chiropractic care resulted in 90% improvement in subjective pain report and 60 –70% reduction in diarrhea frequency.

Investigating scapula positioning in individuals with non-specific lower back pain: A preliminary study
Low back pain (LBP) is an economic and physically disabling burden on individuals and society. With 70% of cases classed as non-specific, there is a need for further research into the causes and consequences associated. The involvement of postural balance in musculoskeletal conditions is gaining increasing interest in research and health practice. However, there is a lack of literature surrounding LBP and posture in distal segments of the body. (Source: Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies)

Effect of a slump posture on pain, proprioception, and electrical activity of the muscles in office workers with chronic non-specific neck pain. A retrospective study
The impact of computer typing in a slump posture on pain, proprioception and muscle recruitment has not been extensively investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent of pain, proprioception and muscle activity resulting from computer typing in a slump posture in women who already suffer from chronic neck pain.
