Article Synopsis
- The study validated the Knee Osteoarthritis Fears and Beliefs Questionnaire (KOFBeQ) for Chinese patients, focusing on understanding fear-avoidance behaviors.
- A sample of 241 participants (mostly women, average age 68) was analyzed, resulting in an 11-item questionnaire with three subscales related to fears about doctors and disease, daily activities, and leisure/sports.
- The KOFBeQ demonstrated strong internal consistency, high reliability, and good model fit, making it a valuable tool for improving care and rehabilitation for knee osteoarthritis patients in China.
Meta-analysis is a common technique used to synthesise the results of multiple studies through the combination of effect size estimates and testing statistics. Numerous meta-analyses have investigated the efficacy of exercise programmes for stroke rehabilitation. However, meta-analyses may also report false-positive results because of insufficient information or random errors.

Knowledge of EMG activity during passive and active-assisted exercises may help guide clinicians when considering exercise prescription in the early post-operative period.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate EMG activity of the rotator cuff and deltoid musculature during passive and active-assisted shoulder range of motion (ROM) exercises commonly performed in post-operative rehabilitation.
