Comparative analysis of postural stability and risk of falling and developing disability among overweight and obese women over 40 years
Increased body mass index (BMI) adversely affects the mechanics of the musculoskeletal system. It is known that obese people have poorer postural stability and mobility-related outcomes compared to normal-weight people, but there is limited research comparing overweight and class 1 obese people, two consecutive and prevalent BMI categories.

How do Australian osteopaths manage migraines? Outcomes from a national practice-based research network
Individuals who experience migraines often seek out a variety of treatment options including manual or physical therapy. Evidence suggests that manual therapy, including osteopathy, can play a role in the management of migraines. Whilst there is some literature on the role osteopathy therapy plays in migraine management, none describes the treatment approaches used by practitioners.

The effect of intra-articular ozone injection combined with home-based exercise on pain and function in daily living activities of patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, a randomized double-blinded controlled clinical trial
Ozone injection is a non-surgical treatment for mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis that could decrease pain and improve function and ADL of patients in the short to mid-term (3 –6 months), so it seems that adding Ozone injection to the routine exercise therapy in management of patients with knee OA could improve outcomes.

What are the effects of aquatic physiotherapy exercises on speed and complex gait-related activities in individuals with Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a central nervous system disease that results in deficits in motor activities such as walking. Gait speed and step length are frequently reduced. Aquatic physiotherapy serves as a form of complementary treatment to promote improvements in the disease's motor symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of an aquatic physiotherapy training program on gait in individuals with PD. This is an interventional clinical study in which a group of participants with PD participated in an assessment on the ground of their usual and maximum gait speed using the 10-m Walk Test and complex act...

Is high-volume pilates training better to improve physical-functional performance in community-dwelling older adults? A randomized and controlled clinical trial
Aging promotes physiological changes in different body systems that negatively affect the functional independence of older adults (Addison et al., 2012; Sions et al., 2012). This results in less social participation and lower activity levels, contributing to the emergence of depressive symptoms, which further compromise the physical, social and mental well-being of this population (Vieira et al., 2014). The recommendation for older adults is that physical activity should consist of multi-component interventions, including muscle-strengthening, balance and flexibility activities as well as aerobic exercise (Nelson et al., 2...

Effect of thoracolumbosacral braces on running ground reaction force components in male individuals with kyphosis
Braces are one of the methods for kyphosis treatment, but they can relocate the center of gravity of the trunk, affecting the ground reaction force (GRF) during running. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of two types of thoracolumbosacral braces on running GRF components in individuals with kyphosis.
