Objectives: To explore the content (subjective questions, objective tools and outcome measures) and discuss the nature (qualitative elements and wider considerations) of the athlete pain assessment by facilitating shared understandings of athletes and sports physiotherapists.
Design: Qualitative research using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach.
Methods: We carried out focus groups comprising a deliberate criterion sample using a constructivist perspective.

Our objective to explore athlete's and sports physiotherapists' experiences of sports-related pain in the upper and lower limb. Using a constructivist and pragmatic perspective, we carried out focus groups comprising a deliberate criterion sample of athletes and sports physiotherapists. We used a topic guide that moved from open exploratory questions to questions focusing on the phenomena of sports-related pain in athletes.

Design: A qualitative research study.
Setting: The setting involved semi-structured focus groups via videoconferencing software.
Purpose: To synthesize common or differing perceptions of patients' and clinicians' that influence uptake of online-delivered exercise programmes (ODEPs) for chronic musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions.
Methods: Eight databases were searched from inception to April 2023 for studies including (1) patients with and/or clinicians delivering ODEPs for chronic MSK conditions, and (2) synchronous ODEPs, where information is exchanged simultaneously (mode A); asynchronous ODEPs, with at least one synchronous feature (mode B); or no ODEPs, documenting past experiences and/or likelihood of participating in an ODEP (mode C). Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklists were used to assess study quality.
Background: Telehealth could enhance rehabilitation for people with chronic health conditions. This review examined the psychometric properties of performance-based measures of physical function administered via telehealth among people with chronic health conditions using the Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) approach.
Methods: This systematic review was registered with Prospero (Registration number: CRD42021262547).
