What type, or combination of exercise can improve preferred gait speed in older adults? A meta-analysis.

Background: Improved preferred gait speed in older adults is associated with increased survival rates. There are inconsistent findings in clinical trials regarding effects of exercise on preferred gait speed, and heterogeneity in interventions in the current reviews and meta-analyses.

Objective: to determine the meta-effects of different types or combinations of exercise interventions from randomized controlled trials on improvement in preferred gait speed.

Building from a conceptual model of the resilience process during ageing, towards the Groningen Aging Resilience Inventory.

Aim: To develop and psychometrically test the Groningen Ageing Resilience Inventory.

Background: Ageing is a process that is often accompanied by functional limitation, disabilities and losses. Instead of focusing on these negative events of ageing, there are opportunities in focusing on adaptation mechanisms, like resilience, that are helpful to cope with those adversities.

Factors associated with functional capacity test results in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain: a systematic review.

Introduction: Functional capacity tests are standardized instruments to evaluate patients' capacities to execute work-related activities. Functional capacity test results are associated with biopsychosocial factors, making it unclear what is being measured in capacity testing. An overview of these factors was missing.

Patients with more severe symptoms benefit the most from an intensive multimodal programme in patients with fibromyalgia.

Purpose: Patients with fibromyalgia (FM) experience symptoms over a long period of time impacting their quality of life (QoL). Patients are often treated in multimodal programmes that combine physical and cognitive treatment modalities. Purpose of this study was to identify prognostic factors of effectiveness of a multimodal programme.
