Validation of the Cervical Torsion Test and Head Neck Differentiation Test in Patients with Peripheral Vestibular Hypofunction
CONCLUSIONS: The CTT and HNDT can serve as nonlaboratory tests in patients with dizziness. The HNDT en bloc has the best discriminatory validity, finding those with and those without VH. Symptom reproduction during torsion may help to identify when neck problems may contribute to dizziness.IMPACT: The HNDT en bloc may be useful for ruling VH in or out in patients with dizziness. Positive CTT and HNDT in torsion components may verify the likelihood of additional neck involvement.PMID:38590288 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae057 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Factors Associated With Physical Inactivity of Recipients of a Kidney Transplant: Results From the ADHERE BRAZIL Multicenter Study
CONCLUSIONS: This study identified factors associated with physical inactivity after kidney transplantation that may guide future multilevel behavioral change interventions for physical activity.IMPACT: In a multicenter sample of recipients of a kidney transplant with a prevalence of physical inactivity of 69%, we found associations between this behavior and patient- and center-level factors. At the patient level, the chance of physical inactivity was positively associated with smoking, obesity, and patient morbidity (peripheral vascular disease and hospitalization events after kidney transplantation). Conversely, a high f...

Are we asking the right questions to people with Achilles tendinopathy? The best questions to distinguish mild versus severe disability to improve your clinical management
CONCLUSIONS: Pain with loading the Achilles tendon, time for pain to settle following aggravating activity, as well as time taken for the tendon symptoms to subside after prolonged sitting or sleeping are the best questions indicative of the severity of disability in patients with Achilles tendinopathy. These questions can assist clinicians with assessing baseline severity and monitoring treatment response.PMID:38593625 | DOI:10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.03.005 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Interlimb kinetic asymmetries during the tuck jump assessment are more exposed following kinetic stabilization
CONCLUSIONS: Larger asymmetries were evident after kinetic stabilization, with increased VGRF in the non-dominant limb. We speculate that participants sacrificed interlimb landing symmetry to achieve kinetic stability, which may reflect a primal landing strategy that forgoes movement quality. Assessing lower limb biomechanics using the TJA should involve examining kinetic stability and interlimb kinetic asymmetries.PMID:38593626 | DOI:10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.03.002 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Effective Stretching Positions of the Piriformis Muscle Evaluated Using Shear Wave Elastography
CONCLUSION: This study revealed that the position in which the PM was most stretched was maximum external rotation with 110° hip flexion and 40° hip adduction.PMID:38593993 | DOI:10.1123/jsr.2023-0240 (Source: Journal of Sport Rehabilitation)

Efficacy and safety of physical therapy in patients with stage III COPD during ambulatory rehabilitation
This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a combined physical therapy and pharmacological treatment for patients recovering from stage III COPD exacerbation. The efficacy of the rehabilitation program was assessed using anthropological parameters, physical condition, respiratory system function, and functional endurance capacity. Data were collected from 39 patients with stage III COPD who underwent the rehabilitation program. Physical and anthropometric assessments were conducted using the Quetelet Body Mass Index, the Pignet Index, and the Vital Capacity Index (VCI). The functional capacities of the cardiorespiratory...
