THE Key Elements of the Exercise Prescription Process in Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation in a One-On-One Setting. A Delphi Study of Australian Physiotherapy Specialists.

Background: Clinical decision making to develop an exercise program and then prescribe that program should be based on the best evidence available. However, little evidence exists to guide the development of an exercise program, determining optimal dosage parameters or for effective prescription techniques to achieve best patient outcomes possible.

Objective: To gain consensus from expert clinical physiotherapists in the field of musculoskeletal rehabilitation on key recommendations for developing and prescribing effective exercise programs in musculoskeletal rehabilitation in a one-on-one setting.

Hip joint kinematic assessment in chronic non-specific low back pain patients. A Delphi study.

Background: Chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP) has been associated with movement impairment (MI) of the hip joint. However, evidence supporting this is inconsistent. Agreement from experts may provide rationale and recommendations for the assessment of the hip joint in the management of CNSLBP patients.

MuscleMap: An Open-Source, Community-Supported Consortium for Whole-Body Quantitative MRI of Muscle.

Disorders affecting the neurological and musculoskeletal systems represent international health priorities. A significant impediment to progress in trials of new therapies is the absence of responsive, objective, and valid outcome measures sensitive to early disease changes. A key finding in individuals with neuromuscular and musculoskeletal disorders is the compositional changes to muscles, evinced by the expression of fatty infiltrates.

Physical Therapy Utilization Prior to Biceps Tenodesis or Tenotomy for Biceps Tendinopathy.

Introduction: Surgery for the management of individuals with long head of the biceps tendon (LHBT) tendinopathy is common. Little is known about physical therapy (PT) utilization prior to surgery. The purpose of this review was to investigate the use of PT prior to biceps tenodesis and tenotomy surgeries by assessing the number of visits and the types of interventions.

Relationships Between Working From Home, Sitting Postures, and Low Back Pain During COVID-19: A Survey of Frequent Computer Users.

Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of working from home on musculoskeletal pain.

Methods: An e-survey of computer workers was conducted. Multinomial logistic regression modeling examined relationships between work location (work or home office desk, dining table, other), sitting posture (diagrams with descriptors), depressive symptoms (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Short Depression Scale), sleep quality (good/average vs poor) and pain (low back pain [LBP]), and other pain without LBP (asymptomatic).
