Physical functions assessed by lower limb performance-based and self-reported outcome measures for knee musculoskeletal conditions: A scoping review.

Background: Physical function assessment is key for the management of knee musculoskeletal conditions. There are a wide variety of self-reported outcome measures (SROMs) and performance-based outcome measures (PBOMs) to assess physical function of individuals with knee conditions. However, the content of these measures has not been explored.

[Prognostic factors for substantial clinical benefit from musculoskeletal pathologies of the shoulder].

Introduction: shoulder plain is a common cause of complain, however a precise diagnosis is hard to achieve. This is why finding factors associated to a good prognosis could help to improve our clinical practice.

Objective: to identify demographic and clinical characteristics from the initial assessment associated with substantial clinical benefit (SCB) in patients with shoulder pain one month after treatment or at patient's discharge.

Contextual Factors-Enriched Standard Care on mechanical neck pain (ContextualizAR trial): Protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Understanding the influence of contextual factors (CFs) on interventions for mechanical neck pain (MNP) is essential for evidence-based practice in physical therapy. However, the specific effects and synergies of combining different CFs remain unclear.

Objective: The primary purpose of this study will be to determine if a CFs-Enriched Standard Care (SC) approach is an effective treatment for MNP in terms of reducing pain and improving function.

Prevalence of positive modified scapular assistance test in patients with shoulder pain with and without scapular dyskinesis: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Scapular dyskinesis (SD) is defined as an altered position of the scapula or altered motion patterns and their relationship with shoulder pain (SP) is still under debate. The modified scapular assistance test (mSAT) modifies scapular kinematics and is used to determine the impact of scapular dyskinesis in shoulder pain. However, data about the relationship between SD and the result of mSAT is scarce.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Argentine version of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale in patients with chronic low back pain.

Introduction: Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Higher levels of catastrophizing were found in patients with LBP and this variable is associated with self-reported disability. The Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses catastrophizing in the presence of pain.
