BACKGROUND: Psychosocial factors and alteration of the somatosensory functions have been associated with persistent low back pain (LBP). A decreased capacity of the central nervous system to modulate pain has been suggested as a potential contributor to the persistence of pain. OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether conditioned pain modulation (CPM), initial symptoms/disability, kinesiophobia, and pain catastrophizing is associated with the transition from acute to chronic LBP...

BACKGROUND: Neurodynamic approach employs neural mobilization and mechanical nerve interface techniques. While published studies investigated the efficacy of neural mobilization, it is currently unknown whether manual treatment of the nerve mechanical interface is effective in the treatment of people with entrapment neuropathies. OBJECTIVES: Assess the effectiveness of mechanical interface treatment, including joint and soft tissue techniques, on pain and function in people with peripheral entrapment neuropathies...

BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography (US) is a widely used diagnostic tool in physical therapy. One of the US variables often utilized to quantify the dimensions of the subacromial space and its association with shoulder pathology is the coracohumeral distance (CHD), however, this measurement presents diverse evidence in terms of reliability. OBJECTIVES: To assess the intra- and inter-rater reliability of both expert and non-expert raters when measuring CHD through US in asymptomatic subjects...

BACKGROUND: Specific neck exercise is effective in the management of cervicogenic headache (CH). The Spinertial device was designed to facilitate craniocervical flexion and extension training, but its efficacy, judged on change in headache impact, has not been tested. OBJECTIVE: To compare guided and progressive resisted specific neck exercise targeted to the craniocervical flexors and extensors (SNE-fe) performed with Spinertial device to progressive SNE-fe without the device in a cohort with CH...

BACKGROUND: Proprioception is an important component of normal jaw function, although to date it is unknown if and how proprioception is affected in those with intra-articular temporomandibular disorders (IA-TMDs). This challenges effective management of this subgroup. OBJECTIVES: Determine whether differences in local joint position sense and force sense exist between individuals with IA-TMD and those without a jaw problem. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study...

BACKGROUND: The upper limb neurodynamic test 1 is used in the diagnosis of median nerve neuropathies such as carpal tunnel syndrome but its diagnostic validity remains limited. Neurodynamic sequencing has been suggested to increase the specificity of the neurodynamic tests, however, to date, information on the diagnostic accuracy of this variation in neurodynamic testing is required. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze the diagnostic validity of the local sequence of ULNT1 (LS-ULNT1) (i...

JOURNAL ARTICLE
Nuala Grace, Peter J McNair, Simon W Young
BACKGROUND: Endurance capability in the muscles controlling the knee is poorly understood post anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, despite many sporting activities requiring notable muscle endurance. The hamstring muscles, when active, provide important anatomical support to protect the reconstructed graft. In the absence of good hamstring endurance, fatigue may predispose individuals to re-injury. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether ACL reconstruction (ACLR) with a hamstring graft leads to reduced hamstring endurance 9-13 months post-surgery...

BACKGROUND: Photogrammetry is often used to evaluate standing static postural alignment. Patients are often instructed to self-select a natural feet position but it's unclear whether this position can be consistently replicated across repeated assessments.

BACKGROUND: As waiting times for orthopaedic surgery increase, there have been calls to move from 'waiting lists' to 'preparation lists', to better prepare patients for surgery. In this context, a pilot randomised controlled trial (POWER) was conducted, comparing physiotherapist-led exercise to waiting-list control (usual care), for patients awaiting rotator cuff repair surgery. This qualitative study was integrated within the pilot trial. OBJECTIVES: Explore the experiences of adults awaiting rotator cuff repair surgery in the NHS...
