A Biomechanical Review of the Squat Exercise: Implications for Clinical Practice
Int J Sports Phys Ther. 2024 Apr 1;19(4):490-501. doi: 10.26603/001c.94600. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTThe squat is one of the most frequently prescribed exercises in the rehabilitative setting. Performance of the squat can be modified by changing parameters such as stance width, foot rotation, trunk position, tibia position, and depth. An understanding of how the various squatting techniques can influence joint loading and muscular demands is important for the proper prescription of this exercise for various clinical conditions. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to discuss how the biomechanical demands of the squat...

Quantity and quality are increasing but there's room for improvement: A scoping review of physical activity intervention trials
CONCLUSION: A large volume of trials has investigated physical activity interventions. The quality of these trial reports is suboptimal but improving over time. Journal ranking should not be used for selecting high quality trials.PMID:38574557 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2024.101051 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Can a clinical assessment predict the functional status progression in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome?
CONCLUSION: Patients with a lower baseline iHOT-33 score, lower body mass index, and normal femoral version were more likely to increase their functional status after a minimum of one year of follow-up.PMID:38574558 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2024.101050 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Three-Dimensional Instrumented Gait Analysis for Children With Cerebral Palsy: An Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guideline
CONCLUSIONS: This clinical practice guideline addresses 3D-IGA's utility to inform surgical and non-surgical interventions, to identify gait deviations among segments/joints and planes and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. Best practice statements provide guidance for clinicians about the preferred characteristics of 3D-IGA laboratories including instrumentation, staffing, and reporting practices.Video Abstract: Supplemental digital content available at http://links.lww.com/PPT/A524.PMID:38568266 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000001101 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Inspiratory Training for Improving Respiratory Strength, Pulmonary Function, and Walking in Cerebral Palsy: A Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review provides moderate-quality evidence that inspiratory strength training is effective for increasing inspiratory muscle strength in children with cerebral palsy. Benefits may be carried over to improving expiratory muscle strength but were not observed on pulmonary function or walking capacity.PMID:38568267 | DOI:10.1097/PEP.0000000000001092 (Source: Physical Therapy)
