Background: The objective was to identify exercise therapy dosing parameters for subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) associated with improved pain and function outcomes (via effect sizes) and determine the extent of exercise intervention reproducibility.
Methods: An electronic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, EMBASE, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and SportDiscus identified studies that used exercise therapy exclusively to treat SAPS. Exercise therapy dosing parameters were extracted and within-group effect sizes were calculated for all pain and functional outcomes. Template for Intervention Description and Replication and Consensus on Exercise Reporting were used to record intervention reporting. The risk of bias and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation were assessed by two reviewers.
Results: Twenty-one trials with 674 subjects were included. Effect sizes for pain and function were large in 18 studies, medium in six studies, and small or no effect in four studies, despite the type of supervision. With moderate certainty, effect sizes of pain and function were not influenced by exercise therapy dosing parameters. Intervention reporting was generally poor.
Discussion: Exercise therapy for SAPS was associated with large effect sizes for improvement in pain and function but optimal exercise therapy dosing parameters could not be identified. Strong recommendations conditionally suggest treating SAPS with a variety of exercise therapy dosing parameters.

Purpose: Investigate the effect of structured neonatal physical therapy program (SNP) on neurodevelopmental outcomes of moderate and late preterm (MLP) infants.
Methods: Sixty MLP infants were randomly allocated to usual care (UC) or SNP. A previous publication reported the effect of neonatal component of SNP at hospital discharge.

Background: Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Modified posterior shoulder stretching exercises have been proposed as a treatment method aimed at improving shoulder function and reducing pain in patients with SIS. However, the efficacy of these exercises remains controversial, necessitating a systematic meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate their effectiveness.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) presents an escalating public health challenge globally. However, drug resistance has emerged as a major impediment to successful HCC treatment, limiting the efficacy of curative interventions. Despite numerous investigations into the diverse impacts of hsa-miR-125a-5p on tumor growth across different cancer types, its specific involvement in chemotherapy resistance in HCC remains elusive.

Importance: Sleep disorders and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) commonly coexist in older adults, increasing their risk of developing dementia. Long-term tai chi chuan has been proven to improve sleep quality in older adults. However, their adherence to extended training regimens can be challenging.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of a novel supervised exercise therapy (SET) program based on intermittent treadmill walking and circuit-based moderate-intensity functional training (MIFT) on walking performance and HRQoL in PAD patients.
Design: All participants underwent a 12-week SET that involved 15 to 30 minutes of treadmill walking followed by a 15-minute moderate-intensity functional training (MIFT) continued by 12-week of follow-up. Maximum walking distance (MWD), pain-free walking distance (PFWD), gait speed and estimated peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) were calculated through the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) and HRQoL through the Short Form-36 (SF-36) and the Vascular Quality of Life Questionnaire-6 (VascuQol-6).
