IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 538: Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol on the Effects of a Sensory Motor Intervention Associated with Kangaroo Skin-to-Skin Contact in Preterm Newborns
This study protocol details a two-arm parallel clinical trial methodology, involving participants with a postmenstrual age of 34–35 weeks admitted to a Neonatal Intermediate Care Unit (NInCU) with poor repertoire GMs. Thirty-four participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group, receiving a 10-day sensory motor physical therapy associated with kangaroo skin-to-skin contact, or the control group, which will only receive kangaroo skin-to-skin contact. The study will measure GMs (primary outcome), and body weight, posture and muscle tone, behavioral state, length of hospital stay, and brea...

Emergency Department-Based Physical Function Measures for Falls in Older Adults and Outcomes: A Secondary Analysis of GAPcare
CONCLUSIONS: Measures of function collected at the index ED visit, such as the AM-PAC 6 clicks and TUG time, may be helpful at predicting clinical outcomes for older adults presenting for a fall. Based on our study findings, we suggest a novel workflow to guide the use of these clinical measures for ED patients with falls.PMID:38656264 | DOI:10.1519/JPT.0000000000000403 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: Diagnosis and Management
Am Fam Physician. 2024 Apr;109(4):350-359.ABSTRACTLumbar spinal stenosis is a clinical syndrome that affects more than 200,000 people in the United States annually. It is a common cause of chronic insidious low back pain, especially in older patient populations (mean age = 64 years). Lumbar spinal stenosis is a degenerative condition of the spine leading to narrowing in the spaces around the neurovascular bundles and the classic symptom of low back pain that radiates to the buttocks and lower extremities bilaterally. It is typically a progressive waxing and waning process that may deteriorate over years. The pain is typica...

Oxygen-ozone therapy for pain relief in patients with trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis: a proof-of-concept study
CONCLUSIONS: A combination of O2O3 injections and physical therapy might be considered in patients with TMC-OA. Further investigation is warranted to assess the effectiveness of O2O3 therapy in managing TMC-OA.PMID:38644616 | DOI:10.1080/09638288.2024.2342491 (Source: Disability and Rehabilitation)

Reliability of a qualitative movement assessment tool during a single-leg triple hop landing
CONCLUSION: The QASLS tool offers moderate inter- and good intra-rater reliability for evaluating movement quality during a single-leg triple hop landing, irrespective of rater experience. Additionally, there was no observed difference in QASLS scores between surgical and nonsurgical limbs.PMID:38643732 | DOI:10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.04.005 (Source: Physical Therapy)

The associations of physical parameters with the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test, the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test, and the Upper Limb Rotation Test in professional overhead athletes
CONCLUSIONS: Many of the physical parameters influencing scores on the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ are different. Common parameters influence the CKCUEST and ULRT scores, yet more parameters influence the CKCUEST score. We suggest the combined use of the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ in overhead athletes.PMID:38642438 | DOI:10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.03.001 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome: a survey of physical therapists in Saudi Arabia
CONCLUSIONS: Overall, physical therapists in Saudi Arabia followed the CPGs for treating SIS. Therapeutic exercises combined with manual therapy were the most common treatment options. However, further research should consider exploring adherence to such guidelines over time.PMID:38639502 | DOI:10.26355/eurrev_202404_35891 (Source: Pharmacological Reviews)
