Effects of a Guided Neck-Specific Exercise Therapy on Recovery After a Whiplash: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objective: To analyze the effects on pain and disability recovery after a whiplash of a guided neck-specific exercise therapy, compared to a different or an unguided neck-specific exercise therapy.

Design: A literature search was conducted from inception to May 31, 2023, in three electronic databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science. Eleven randomized controlled trials were included.

Effects of Manual Therapy on the Diaphragm in the Musculoskeletal System: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: To analyze the effects at the musculoskeletal level of manual treatment of the diaphragm muscle in adults.

Data Sources: Systematic review using 4 databases: PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Scopus.

Study Selection And Data Extraction: Two independent reviewers applied the selection criteria and assessed the quality of the studies using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale for experimental studies.

Effects of diaphragm muscle treatment in shoulder pain and mobility in subjects with rotator cuff injuries: A dataset derived from a pilot clinical trial.

The rotator cuff inflammatory or degenerative pathology is the main cause of shoulder pain. The shoulder and diaphragm muscle have a clear relation through innervation and the connection through myofascial tissue. A prospective, randomized, controlled, single-blind (assessor) pilot clinical trial was performed with a sample size of 27 subjects with rotator cuff injuries and with clinical diagnosis of myofascial pain syndrome at shoulder.
