Not all movements are equal: Differences in the variability of trunk motor behavior between people with and without low back pain-A systematic review with descriptive synthesis.

Background: Differences in variability of trunk motor behavior between people with and without low back pain (LBP) have been reported in the literature. However, the direction and consistency of these differences remain unclear. Understanding variability of trunk motor behavior between individuals with LBP and those without is crucial to better understand the impact of LBP and potentially optimize treatment outcomes.

Predicting readiness for return to sport and performance after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction rehabilitation.

Background: Determining readiness to return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is challenging.

Objectives: To develop models to predict initial (directly after rehabilitation) and sustainable (one year after rehabilitation) return to sport and performance in individuals after ACL reconstruction.

Methods: We conducted a multicentre, prospective cohort study and included 208 participants.

No Difference in Clinical Effects When Comparing Alfredson Eccentric and Silbernagel Combined Concentric-Eccentric Loading in Achilles Tendinopathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Alfredson isolated eccentric loading and Silbernagel concentric-eccentric loading have both shown beneficial effects on clinical symptoms in midportion Achilles tendinopathy (AT), but they have never been compared directly.

Purpose: To test for differences in clinical effects at 1-year follow-up between Alfredson and Silbernagel loading in midportion AT.

Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level of evidence, 2.

A framework exploring the therapeutic alliance between elite athletes and physiotherapists: a qualitative study.

Background: The therapeutic alliance (TA) is the bond between a patient and a physiotherapist during collaboration on recovery or training. Previous studies focused on the TA between physiotherapists and patients of the general population. Little information exists on whether this is similar in the demanding environment of elite athletes.

Changes in motor-flexibility following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction as measured by means of a leg-amplitude differentiation task with haptic and visual feedback.

Background: In the current study changes in lower-limb motor flexibility of patients undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction were evaluated in relation to fear of harm.

Methods: Fourteen patients were measured pre- and post-surgery, and data were compared to those of a single measurement in fifteen controls. Lower-limb motor-flexibility was assessed in treadmill-walking and a cyclic leg-amplitude differentiation task augmented with haptic or visual feedback.
