The Effects of Resistance Exercises on Secondary Lymphedema Due to Treatment of Breast Cancer: A Review of Current Literature
Conclusion: After reviewing current literature, it can be concluded that resistance exercise paired with CDT may be beneficial for patients post–breast cancer treatment. In high-frequency groups, a statistically significant difference was seen in lymphedema reduction compared with control groups. Even if lymphedema was not reduced, many patients still experienced other benefits of resistance exercises such as increased strength and increased quality-of-life scores.

Movement-Related Urinary Urgency: A Theoretical Framework and Retrospective, Cross-sectional Study
Conclusion: The prevalence of spine or hip movement diagnoses in patients with urinary urgency was high (48.0%). A significant relationship was found between the presence of spine/hip movement diagnoses and pelvic floor muscle diagnoses (χ2 [1, N = 225] = 42.27, P = .000). Standard evaluation for patients with urinary urgency should include movement testing of spine and hip, with symptom monitoring of urinary urgency during examination.

Physical Therapy Management of Thoracic Pain, Lumbar Pain, and Vasovagal Response During Pregnancy
Discussion: Following a course of physical therapy, the patient demonstrated improved postural awareness, symmetry in the pelvis and ribcage, and proper body mechanics. She was independent with early identification of potential triggers and with prophylactic management of symptoms of vasovagal response. With the assistance of her partner, she was independent with self-management techniques for her pain symptoms. At the final session, she was pain-free in the lumbar and thoracic regions, and had no recurrence of vasovagal symptoms. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)

The Relationship Between Lower Extremity Alignment and Low Back, Hip, and Foot Pain During Pregnancy: A Longitudinal Study of Primigravid Women Versus Nulliparous Controls
Conclusions: Arch flexibility may be related to pain in the feet, legs, and low back. Furthermore, changes in lower extremity alignment during pregnancy may be related to musculoskeletal pain experienced by pregnant women. Health care practitioners should consider looking at foot and ankle measures when treating pain in pregnant women. (Source: Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy)
