Effectiveness of Glenohumeral Joint Mobilization on Range of Motion and Pain in Patients With Rotator Cuff Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of glenohumeral joint mobilization (JM) on range of motion and pain intensity in patients with rotator cuff (RC) disorders.

Methods: An electronic search was performed in the MEDLINE, CENTRAL, Embase, PEDro, LILACS, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases. The eligibility criteria for selecting studies included randomized clinical trials that investigated the effect of glenohumeral JM techniques with or without other therapeutic interventions on range of motion, pain intensity, and shoulder function in patients older than 18 years with RC disorders.

Effectiveness of scapular mobilization in patients with primary adhesive capsulitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of scapular mobilization on range of motion, shoulder disability, and pain intensity in patients with primary adhesive capsulitis (AC).

Methods: An electronic search was performed in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, CENTRAL, LILACS, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases up to March 2023. The eligibility criteria for selected studies included randomized clinical trials that included scapular mobilization with or without other therapeutic interventions for range of motion, shoulder disability, and pain intensity in patients older than 18 years with primary AC.

Effectiveness of surgical versus conservative treatment of distal radius fractures in elderly patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether surgical treatment is more effective than conservative treatment in terms of functional outcomes in elderly patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs).

Methods: An electronic search of the Medline, Central, Embase, PEDro, Lilacs, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases was performed, from inception until July 2021. The eligibility criteria for selecting studies were randomized clinical trials that compared surgical versus conservative treatment in subjects older than 60 years with DRFs.

Effectiveness of supervised physiotherapy versus home exercise in subjects with rotator cuff disorders treated surgically: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: The aim is to determine the effectiveness of supervised Physiotherapy (PT) versus a home exercise program for functional outcomes in patients with rotator cuff (RC) disorders treated surgically. TYPE: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Methodology: An electronic search was performed in the MEDLINE, CENTRAL, EMBASE, PEDro, LILACS, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases.

Effectiveness of manual therapy in patients with distal radius fracture: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of manual therapy (MT) for functional outcomes in patients with distal radius fracture (DRF).

Methods: An electronic search was performed in the Medline, Central, Embase, PEDro, Lilacs, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science databases. The eligibility criteria for selecting studies included randomized clinical trials that included MT techniques with or without other therapeutic interventions in functional outcomes, such as wrist or upper limb function, pain, grip strength, and wrist range of motion in patients older than 18 years with DRF.

Association Between Body Mass Index and Functional Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Extra-articular Distal Radius Fracture: A Prospective Observational Study.

Introduction: The association between body mass index (BMI) and functional outcomes is unknown in elderly individuals with distal radius fracture (DRF).

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate if there is association between BMI and functional outcomes in patients older than 60 years with DRF treated conservatively.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational study was performed.

Effectiveness of manual therapy in patients with thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The effectiveness of Manual Therapy (MT) in thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis (OA) is unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of MT for functional outcomes in patients with thumb carpometacarpal OA.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

The effectiveness of joint mobilization techniques for range of motion in adult patients with primary adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of joint mobilization techniques in the range of motion in adult patients with primary adhesive shoulder capsulitis.

Methods: Systematic review with meta-analysis. The search was performed in the MEDLINE/PubMed, PEDro, CENTRAL, LILACS, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus and Web of Science databases.

Correlation Between Radiological Parameters and Functional Outcomes in Patients Older Than 60 Years of Age With Distal Radius Fracture.

The relationship between radiographic and functional outcomes is controversial in the elderly. The objective of this study is to determine whether there is a correlation between functional outcome and acceptable distal radius fracture (DRF) alignment in patients older than 60 years of age. This correlation study was carried out at the Central Metropolitan Health Service of Chile.

Supervised physical therapy vs home exercise program for patients with distal radius fracture: A single-blind randomized clinical study.

Study Design: Randomized clinical study.

Introduction: Supervised physical therapy (PT) and home exercise programs (HEPs) are frequently used in the rehabilitation of patients with distal radius fracture (DRF). However, there is no consensus as to whether unsupervised HEP provides comparable benefits to those achieved by supervised PT.
