Gluteal tendinopathy (GT) is common and can be debilitating and challenging to manage. A lack of condition specific and appropriate outcome measures compromise evidence synthesis for treatment and limits clinical guideline development. Our objective was to develop a core outcome measurement set for GT (COS-GT).

Design: Multistage scoping/systematic review.
Data Sources: Cochrane, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, PEDro, CINAHL, SPORTDISCUS were searched (December 2021) to identify measures used to evaluate gluteal tendinopathy.
Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the differences in reporting statistical data, specifically p values, effect estimates, and clinical relevance, in physiotherapy randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from the years 2000 and 2018.
- - Researchers analyzed 140 RCTs from major physiotherapy journals, finding that while the reporting of p values remained consistently high (>90%), there was a significant increase in the reporting of effect estimates (up 26.6%), confidence intervals (up 34%), and clinical relevance (up 32.8%) from 2000 to 2018.
- - Despite improvements in the reporting of statistical data, over 40% of the RCTs in 2018 still did not adequately
Objectives: To investigate the completeness of reporting of physical therapy interventions in randomized controlled trials before and after publication of the Template for Intervention Description and Replication (TIDieR) checklist (a reporting guideline for interventions).
Design: Meta-research.
Methods: We searched 6 journals for trials using physical therapy interventions that were published in 2000 and 2018.
Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review of Interventions.
Int J Sports Phys Ther
April 2021
Background: Proximal hamstring tendinopathy affects athletic and non-athletic populations and is associated with longstanding buttock pain. The condition is common in track and field, long distance running and field-based sports. Management options need to be evaluated to direct appropriate clinical management.

Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with expert physiotherapists until data saturation was met (n = 13). Interviews were transcribed verbatim and data were analysed systematically and organised into categories and sub-categories according to study aims.
