Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if changes in knee movement (valgus or varus) are linked to pain and function in individuals with knee disorders through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
- From 42,202 records, 48 trials were included, focusing on non-surgical interventions for knee issues that measured functional movements and pain/function outcomes.
- The results indicated a strong correlation between movement changes and pain/function outcomes for individuals with patellofemoral pain, whereas evidence was limited for those with knee osteoarthritis and ACL injuries.
Objective: to translate, adapt and test the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Nurse-Work Instability Scale.
Method: this was a methodological study following the translation steps: synthesis, back-translation, specialist´s committee, semantics analysis, pretest, and psychometric tests. The committee was composed of 5 specialists.
