Article Synopsis
- * A total of 22 studies were included, with findings indicating only very weak correlations between pain intensity and several body composition measures like body mass index and waist circumference.
- * The review concluded that the evidence is of very low quality due to study biases and limitations, highlighting the need for future randomized controlled trials to better understand how body composition impacts pain intensity.
This viewpoint paper focuses on challenges for Swiss physiotherapy education institutes related to the transition towards evidence-based practice and the incorporation of advanced roles within the profession. To tackle such challenges, it is essential to establish structured pathways and competency frameworks and position physiotherapists as integral contributors to innovative healthcare.

Practice guidelines recommend weight loss interventions for individuals suffering from these conditions. This systematic review investigated whether including a weight loss intervention in the musculoskeletal therapy of these individuals was cost-effective compared to administering the musculoskeletal therapy alone.

However, its pathophysiology remains unclear. We want to (1) present an overview of the evidence of hip microinstability and of its association with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), (2) map out the type of evidence available, and (3) make recommendations for future research.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a planned cross-over study to assess efficacy of manual therapy techniques applications in patients with chronic ankle instability.
Methods: This feasibility study used a randomized controlled, blinded assessor cross-over design.
