Statistical inference through estimation: recommendations from the International Society of Physiotherapy Journal Editors
Null hypothesis statistical tests are often conducted in healthcare research [1], including in the physiotherapy field [2]. Despite their widespread use, null hypothesis statistical tests have important limitations. This co-published editorial explains statistical inference using null hypothesis statistical tests and the problems inherent to this approach; examines an alternative approach for statistical inference (known as estimation); and encourages readers of physiotherapy research to become familiar with estimation methods and how the results are interpreted.

Consideration-of-concept of EvolvRehab-Body for upper limb virtual rehabilitation at home for people late after stroke
EvolvRehab-Body is a non-immersive virtual rehabilitation system that could provide high-dose, exercise-based upper limb therapy after stroke. This consideration-of-concept study investigated: adherence rate to prescribed repetitions; viability of repeated measures in preparation for a dose-articulation study; and preliminary signal of potential benefit.

The WATER study: Which AquaTic ExeRcises increase muscle activity and limit pain for people with low back pain?
Aquatic exercise therapy is used for the treatment and management of chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, to the authors ’ knowledge, no studies to date have compared muscle activity between different aquatic exercises performed by people with CLBP. As such, this study assessed and compared muscle activity, pain, perceived exertion and exercise intensity between different rehabilitative aquatic exercises. (Source: Physiotherapy)
