Effectiveness of manual therapy interventions in cystic fibrosis care: A pilot study
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe genetic condition that affects multiple organ systems and imposes a substantial treatment burden. Regarding the lungs and airways, the progressive pathophysiological changes place a significant strain on the musculoskeletal components of the respiratory system for people with CF. This pilot study investigated the effectiveness of manual therapy interventions (MTIs) on thoracic mobility, respiratory muscle strength, lung function, and musculoskeletal pain.

Strength training as a non-pharmacological alternative to improve body composition, and quality of life in people with spinal cord injury: A systematic review
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) have physiological, emotional, and economic consequences in the lives of affected people. Resistance training (RT) is efficient in improving several physiological factors, quality of life, and body composition. Due to the scarce literature on the analysis of isolated RT, the objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effects of RT without the association of other techniques, in aspects related to the quality of life and body composition of people with SCI.

Lower limb muscles ’ thicknesses are weakly associated with dynamic knee valgus during single-leg squat in women with patellofemoral pain
Patellofemoral pain (PFP) patients often show an altered lower limb alignment during the single-leg squat (SLS). There is evidence that proximal and distal-to-the-knee muscle alterations can modify the lower limb alignment in PFP patients. However, we observed a lack of studies investigating the possible association between the thickness and strength of proximal and distal-to-the-knee muscles and lower limb alignment during SLS in women with PFP. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the association between the thickness and strength of lower limb muscles and dynamic knee valgus (DKV) during SLS in women with PFP. (So...

The usefulness of assistive soft robotics in the rehabilitation of patients with hand impairment: A systematic review
Loss of hand function causes severe limitations in activity in daily living. The hand-soft robot is one of the methods that has recently been growing to increase the patient's independence. The purpose of the present systematic review was to provide a classification, a comparison, and a design overview of mechanisms and the efficacy of the soft hand robots to help researchers approach this field.

Motor alterations along the kinetic chain in amateur volleyball and handball athletes with shoulder pain: An observational comparative study
Overhead sports overload the shoulder complex due to movement repetition and the great amount of force created during the athletic motion, which may cause adaptations in the shoulder and lead to shoulder pain. However, overhead movements include the kinetic chain, and alterations in some of the structures throughout the kinetic chain may increase stress on the shoulder complex and be associated with shoulder pain.

Muscle strength and body composition in obese adults following nine months of yoga or nutrition advice: A comparative controlled trial
Muscle strength is impaired in obese persons due to low physical activity, obesity-related modifications in muscle morphology and as a consequence of calorie regulation (where applicable). Previously decreased BMI and increased hand grip strength was reported following a short duration yoga intervention in obese adults. (Source: Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies)

Effects of different resistance training programmings on the relative strength, body composition, anthropometric variables, and metabolic risk of elderly women
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of two different programming models of resistance training (RT) on metabolic risk, anthropometric variables, and relative strength in elderly women. The research was a prospective and comparative longitudinal study with a non-probabilistic random sample. Twenty-two elderly women (64  ± 3 years) was divided into two experimental groups being the Linear programming (LP, n = 12) and Daily undulatory programming (DUP, n = 10), with 3 sessions/week for 12 weeks.

Evaluating the additive diagnostic value of DidRen LaserTest: Correlating temporal and kinematic predictors and patient-reported outcome measures in acute-subacute non-specific neck pain
Neck pain, a distressing sensory and emotional experience often linked to potential or actual tissue damage in the cervical region (Bogduk, 2011a), exhibits a substantial lifetime prevalence ranging from 22% to 70% (Blanpied et al., 2017; Fejer et al., 2006; Hoy et al., 2010). This condition tends to recur, with about 44% of patients developing chronic symptoms (Blanpied et al., 2017; Borghouts et al., 1998; Gore et al., 1987), thereby presenting significant personal and socioeconomic impacts (Borghouts et al., 1999; Cohen and Hooten, 2017; Ferrari and Russell, 2003).

Dry needling effects on motor impairments in a patient with traumatic brain injury: A case study
Motor impairments are common consequences of traumatic brain injury (TBI). It affects the individuals ’ participation in activities of daily living (ADLs). Dry needling treatment (DNT) uses a specialized needle to alter cortical activity. This case study aims to examine the effects of DNT on spasticity, balance, gait, and self-independence in a single patient with TBI. (Source: Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies)
