Effect of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation of the common fibular nerve on the soleus muscle Hoffmann reflex
Conclusion] The change in the Hoffmann reflex amplitude may have been caused by the magnetic stimulation to I-a sensory fibers on the common fibular nerve, suggesting that magnetic stimulation induces reciprocal inhibition of motor neurons through synapses in the spinal cord.PMID:38694014 | PMC:PMC11060763 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.36.278 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Changes in acceleration and deceleration factors associated with active gait speed adjustment
Conclusion] These results suggest that the specific kinematic mechanisms of each factor regulate the acceleration and deceleration of walking. In addition, these mechanisms and factors indicate how exercise therapy may be used in rehabilitation to improve the ability to adjust walking speed in daily life.PMID:38694015 | PMC:PMC11060761 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.36.226 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Classification and comparison of the physical characteristics and functions of various age groups of community-dwelling elderly individuals participating in the Kayoi-no-ba program
Conclusion] Among community-dwelling elderly individuals participating in the Kayoi-no-ba program, physical characteristics and functions were affected by aging, with significant decline particularly in those aged >80 years old. These findings suggest that early intervention is necessary to maintain muscle mass, strength, balance, and mobility in the elderly.PMID:38694016 | PMC:PMC11060759 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.36.313 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Assessment of retention of training in improving the accuracy of needle penetration depth
Conclusion] After two weeks of acupuncture training, the error distance decreased significantly, suggesting that this technique was retained after 28 days of completing the training.PMID:38694017 | PMC:PMC11060760 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.36.290 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Differences in cough strength, respiratory function, and physical performance in older adults with and without low swallowing function in the repetitive saliva swallowing test
Conclusion] These preliminary results suggest that community-dwelling ambulatory older adults with low swallowing function in RSST might have lower cough and respiratory muscle strength, even if they have relatively preserved lung function and physical performance.PMID:38694018 | PMC:PMC11060758 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.36.273 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Evaluation of the accuracy of ChatGPT's responses to and references for clinical questions in physical therapy
Conclusion] ChatGPT has limitations in reference selection and reliability. While ChatGPT can offer accurate responses to clinical questions in physical therapy, it should be used with caution because it is not a completely reliable model.PMID:38694019 | PMC:PMC11060764 | DOI:10.1589/jpts.36.234 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Prognostic Factors and Treatment Effect Modifiers for Physical Health, Opioid Prescription, and Health Care Utilization in Patients With Musculoskeletal Disorders in Primary Care: Exploratory Secondary Analysis of the STEMS Randomized Trial of Direct Access to Physical Therapist-Led Care
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with musculoskeletal conditions with lower levels of pain self-efficacy, higher pain severity, and presenting with low back pain have less favorable clinical and health care outcomes in primary care. Prespecified characteristics did not modify the treatment effect of the offer of a direct-access physical therapist-led pathway compared to GP-led care.IMPACT: Patients with musculoskeletal conditions receiving primary care in the form of direct-access physical therapist-led or GP-led care who have lower levels of self-efficacy, higher pain severity, and low back pain are likely to have a less favorable p...

Sensitivity to change and responsiveness of provocative load tests among athletes with patellar tendinopathy
CONCLUSION: This study found moderate to high sensitivity to change and established MCID values for the SLDS and KE test in athletes with patellar tendinopathy before and after rehabilitation. Both tests may be useful as pain on loading outcomes as athletes progress with their rehabilitation, but the KE test results in higher floor effects and has lower sensitivity to change.PMID:38696973 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2024.101064 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Guidelines of the French Society of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery (SFORL) for vestibular rehabilitation in children with vestibular dysfunction. A systematic review
CONCLUSION: It is recommended that a vestibular assessment be carried out before VR, including a study of vestibulo-ocular reflex, otolithic function, and postural control. In cases of vestibular dysfunction, physiotherapy treatment is recommended from an early age to train different aspects of postural control, including anticipatory and reactive postural adjustments. VR adapted to the pediatric population is recommended for children whose vestibular dysfunction leads to functional disorders or symptoms of vertigo for those who have suffered head trauma. It is recommended that children with bilateral vestibular impairment...

Team-based rehabilitation after mild traumatic brain injury - description of the clinical pathway
CONCLUSION: A small proportion of participants received much higher number of sessions, consistent with intractable issues after mTBI. High attendance rates indicate the predominantly telehealth-delivered model was feasible. The clinical approach included early prioritizing of discipline input and follow-up after discharge.PMID:38695320 | DOI:10.1080/02699052.2024.2347570 (Source: Brain Injury)

Use and experienced effectiveness of non-pharmacological treatments for chronic spinal cord injury related pain in The Netherlands: A cross-sectional survey
