BACKGROUND: Proprioceptive impairment contributes to gait and balance impairments in patients with stroke. Diagnosis functional impairments and evaluation treatment efficacy require quantitative proprioception assessment. However, proprioception assessment has remained limited to ordinal scale measurement, with a lack of ratio scale measurements. PURPOSE: This case report describes a physiotherapy management program focusing on proprioceptive impairment in patients with stroke using quantitative tests such as Threshold to Detect Passive Motion (TDPM) and Joint Position Sense (JPS)...

INTRODUCTION: The M easures A ssociated to P rogno S tic (MAPS) tool is a standardized questionnaire that integrates validated prognostic tools to detect the presence of biopsychosocial prognostic factors in patients consulting for musculoskeletal disorders. PURPOSE: The objectives were to assess the: 1) feasibility of implementation of the MAPS tool, 2) clinicians' acceptability of the dashboard, and 3) patients' acceptability of the MAPS tool. METHODS: Twenty physiotherapists and two occupational therapists from seven outpatient musculoskeletal clinics were recruited to implement the MAPS tool during a 3-month timeframe, where new patients completed the questionnaire upon initial assessment...

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary involvement is prevalent in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Arterial hypoxemia may reduce oxygen transferred to the skeletal muscles, possibly leading to impaired exercise capacity. Oxygen uptake may vary depending on the increased oxygen demand of the muscles during submaximal and maximal exercise. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare muscle oxygenation during submaximal and maximal exercise tests in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome with pulmonary involvement...

INTRODUCTION: Acute lower back pain can lead to neuroplastic changes in the central nervous system, and symptoms of central sensitization after 12 weeks. While sensory sensitivity has been shown to predict symptoms of central sensitization, trait sensory profiles may be prognostic in the persistence of central sensitization symptoms in low back pain over time. OBJECTIVE: To examine sensory profiles as prognostic symptoms of central sensitization in people with acute low back pain...

BACKGROUND: A link between pronated feet (PF) and chronic low back pain (CLBP) has been reported in the literature. However, physical interventions (PI) like physiotherapy and orthotics mainly target the lower back, neglecting the broader biomechanical impacts of PF that affect the feet, ankles, and overall posture. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive meta-analyses or systematic reviews on this subject. OBJECTIVES: This systematic review with a meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of PI on pain and disability in patients having CLBP with PF...

BACKGROUND: Low back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide. It is also the main cause of the limitation of activities and absence from work in much of the world and a cause of great economic burden. The greatest percentage of low back pain is classified as nonspecific (i.e. not attributable to a defined pathology), while the others may concern specific pathologies of the lumbar region or suggest pathologies of non-musculoskeletal origin. Consequently, evaluating any signs and symptoms mimicking musculoskeletal conditions is crucial...
