Experiences of therapists using feedback-based technology to improve physical function in rehabilitation settings: a qualitative systematic review.

To synthesise therapist experiences of using feedback-based technology for physical rehabilitation through a systematic review of qualitative studies. Ten electronic databases were searched up to March 2017. Peer reviewed studies that provided qualitative data that met the inclusion criteria were selected.

Neuropathic pain screening questionnaires have limited measurement properties. A systematic review.

Objectives: The Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4), ID Pain, Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs (LANSS), PainDETECT, and Neuropathic Pain Questionnaire have been recommended as screening questionnaires for neuropathic pain. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the measurement properties (eg, criterion validity and reliability) of these questionnaires.

Study Design And Setting: Online database searches were conducted and two independent reviewers screened studies and extracted data.

Influence of knee position on the postural stability index registered by the Biodex Stability System.

The importance of knee position for bodily stability is described by some authors, however Biodex Stability System (BSS) trials have not been used to assess the reliability and effects of different knee positions. The purposes of this study were to test the reliability of BSS indices using two knee positions in the measurement protocol (either permitting slight knee flexion or maintaining them locked in total extension) and to compare the BSS indices between these two knee positions. The measurements were taken of the Overall Stability Index (OSI), Anterior-Posterior Stability Index (APSI) and Medial-Lateral Stability Index (MLSI) during a 30s protocol which gradually and automatically increased in difficulty among 21 healthy female subjects (22.
