Peripheral and Central Adaptations After a Median Nerve Neuromobilization Program Completed by Individuals With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: An Exploratory Mechanistic Study Using Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Neuromobilization exercises are increasingly advocated in the conservative management of individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), as they may mitigate CTS-related signs and symptoms via potential peripheral (ie, musculoskeletal) and central (ie, neurophysiological) adaptations. However, the mechanisms underlying these adaptations have not been studied extensively. Hence, this exploratory and mechanistic study aims to evaluate the potential peripheral and central adaptations that may result in individuals with CTS who have completed a neuromobilization program.

Differences in Patient Characteristics, Number of Treatments, and Recovery Rates Between Referred and Self-referred Patients With Nonspecific Neck Pain in Manual Therapy: A Secondary Analysis
In various countries, patients can visit a physiotherapist via self-referral. The aims of this study were to evaluate whether there are differences between individuals with nonspecific neck pain who consult a manual therapist via self-referral and those who do so via referral by a physician concerning patient characteristics, number of treatments, and recovery; and whether (self-)referral is associated with recovery.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Investigation of Cervical-Spine Meniscoid Composition: A Validation Study
The composition of cervical-spine meniscoids may have clinical significance in neck-pain conditions, but the accuracy of assessment of meniscoid composition in vivo using magnetic resonance imaging has not been established. The aim of this study was to compare cervical-spine meniscoid composition by magnetic resonance imaging with histologic composition. (Source: Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics)

Association Among Dyskinesia of the Lumbar Spine Segment, Inclination Angle of the Lumbosacral Spine, and Low Back Pain in Young Athletes: A Predictive Correlational Study
This predictive correlational study aimed to investigate the association among low back pain (LBP), dyskinesia of the lumbosacral spine segment (determined by inertial sensors), and inclination angles: the inclination angle of the lumbosacral spine (alpha), the inclination angle of the thoracolumbar spine (beta), and the inclination angle of the upper thoracic section (gamma). Our hypothesis was that young athletes with LBP had a particular dyskinesia: nonphysiological movements of the lumbosacral segment of the spine.

Relationship Between Intensity of Neck Pain and Disability and Shoulder Pain and Disability in Individuals With Subacromial Impingement Symptoms: A Cross-Sectional Study
This study aimed to verify a possible relationship between shoulder disability and shoulder pain intensity and the variables related to cervical-spine dysfunction, and determine which of these can differentiate moderate to severe shoulder pain (>4 on a numerical rating scale [NRS]) from mild shoulder pain ( ≤4 on the NRS) in individuals with subacromial impingement symptoms.

Hip-Joint Posture and Movement Alterations Are Associated With High Interference of Pain in the Life of Patients With Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome
Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a common condition that can cause lateral hip pain. The single-leg-squat test (SLST) may be used by physicians in primary care environments to evaluate patients ’ dynamic stability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dynamic stability and strength of lateral abduction hip movements in primary care patients with GTPS in relation to their perceived pain interference in life.

Chronic Resistance Exercise Improves Functioning and Reduces Toll-Like Receptor Signaling in Elderly Patients With Postoperative Deconditioning
Elderly patients continue to experience low levels of mobility during and following postoperative hospitalization that lead to persistent physical decline. Therefore, here we compared chronic resistance (CR) exercise against chronic aerobic (CA) exercise in ameliorating postoperative functioning and reducing proinflammatory muscular Toll-like receptor (TLR) –associated signaling in elderly postoperative patients.
