Introduction: myoActivation® assessment utilizes systemized movement tests to assess for pain and limitations in motion secondary to myofascial dysfunction. myoActivation needling therapy resolves the myofascial components of pain and is associated with immediately observed changes in pain, flexibility, and range of motion. The principal aim of this feasibility study was to objectively characterize the kinematic metrics of upper and lower body motion before and after myoActivation movement tests and therapy.

Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed evidence to inform future research and practice. Inclusion criteria were studies with any research designs, across all years and languages focused on older adults 60 years of age or more, on physical activity/sedentary behaviour and the indoor environment.

It is included in some publicly funded healthcare systems in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden and other European countries. To advance reablement research and practice, we aimed to synthesize expert opinion on opportunities and challenges to delivering care with this model.

Understanding the components of reablement and how it is delivered, received, and enacted facilitates best evidence and practice. Determining behavior change techniques (BCTs) or strategies is an important step to operationalize implementation of reablement.

Gaps exist for defining and implementing PCC; therefore, we aimed to identify core elements of PCC and synthesize implementation facilitators and barriers.
Methods: We conducted an overview of systematic reviews (umbrella review) and included peer-reviewed literature for adults in community/primary care settings.
