Abstract: This is the first multidirectional spectral analysis of how the hip and spine coordinate during unstable sitting and how different factors impact this coordination. Seat movement was coherently counteracted (out-of-phase) by angular motion of the hip and lower lumbar spine in the sagittal plane and by the lumbar spine in the frontal plane. Although higher BMI and balancing with eyes closed increased movement litude, this did not compromise coordination between segments to control balance, instead, coherence increased.

Abstract: Background: Dizziness is a non-specific term used by patients to describe several symptoms ranging from true vertigo, light headedness, disorientation or sense of imbalance. Vestibular rehabilitation (VR) is a specific form of exercise-based therapy programme aimed at alleviating the primary and secondary problems of a vestibular pathology. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of exercise-based vestibular rehabilitation in adult patients with chronic dizziness. Methods: The following five databases were searched: the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, the Cochrane Library), MEDLINE, PubMed, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) and Scopus (Elsevier). Two investigators independently reviewed all articles and a systematic review of literature was performed using the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The articles were included if they met the following inclusion criteria: (1) randomised controlled trial, (2) people with chronic dizziness, (3) adults aged 18 or over, (4) exercise-based VR, (5) VR exercises compared with sham or usual care, non-treatment or placebo and (6) only studies published full text in English. Results: The initial search identified 304 articles, four of which met the criteria for analysis. All studies involved some form of vestibular rehabilitation, including vestibular compensation, vestibular adaptation and substitution exercises. These exercises were compared with usual medical care (three studies) or placebo eye exercise (one study). The Vertigo Symptom Scale was the most commonly used outcome measure to assess subjective perception of symptoms of dizziness (three studies). According to the PEDro scale, three studies were considered to be of high quality, and one was rated as fair. Conclusions: This review suggests that exercise-based vestibular rehabilitation shows benefits for adult patients with chronic dizziness with regard to improvement in the vertigo symptom scale, fall risk, balance and emotional status.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of pulsed high-intensity laser therapy on pain, adhesions, and quality of life in women with endometriosis. Endometriosis is among the most common gynecological problems affecting females of childbearing age. The majority of women with endometriosis seek treatment to alleviate pain. The s le included 40 women with endometriosis to either a mild or a moderate degree aged between 24 and 32 years. They were randomly assigned to two groups, group I of 20 women received pulsed high-intensity laser therapy three times per week for 8 weeks, as well as the usual regimen of hormonal treatment given to endometriosis patients, and group II of 20 women were given sham laser treatment three times per week for 8 weeks and the usual regimen of hormonal treatment. For all patients, pain, the degree of endometriosis, and quality of life were measured using present pain intensity and pain relief scales, laparoscopy, and the Endometriosis Health Profile (EHP-5) before treatment began and at the end of the 8 weeks. In comparison to the sham laser treatment, pulsed high-intensity laser therapy produced a significantly different result (p < 0.0001), in women with endometriosis. Pulsed high-intensity laser therapy is an effective method of pain alleviation, reducing adhesions, and improving the quality of life in women with endometriosis.

Abstract: Postural control of the trunk is critical for performance of everyday activities and the health of spinal tissues. Although some studies report that in iduals with low back pain (LBP) have poorer/compromised postural control than pain-free in iduals when sitting on an unstable surface, others do not. Analyses commonly lack the statistical power to evaluate the relevance of features that could impact the performance of postural control, such as sex, age, anthropometrics, pain intensity or disability. This paper outlines a protocol for a systematic review with an in idual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis that aims to synthesise the evidence and evaluate differences of postural control measures between in iduals with and without LBP during unstable sitting. A systematic review with IPD meta-analysis will be conducted according to PRISMA-IPD guidelines. To identify relevant studies, electronic databases and the reference lists of included articles will be screened. Unstable seat movements are derived from centre of pressure (CoP) data using a force plate or angle of the seat using motion systems/sensors. The comprehensiveness of reporting and methodological quality of included studies will be assessed. Analysis will involve a descriptive analysis to synthesise the findings of all included studies and a quantitative synthesis using two-stage IPD meta-analysis of studies that include both in iduals with and without LBP for which IPD set can be obtained from authors. Analyses will include consideration of confounding variables. Exemption from ethical approval was obtained for this review (University of Queensland, ID: 2019003026). PROSPERO ID: CRD42021124658 .

Abstract: The main aim of this study was to investigate physiotherapists’ pain attitudes and beliefs towardss non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP) and identify whether they are associated with treatment selection. Cross-sectional study. Saudi Arabia (SA). An online survey was distributed to physiotherapists from April 2018 to January 2019. (1) Biomedical and biopsychosocial treatment orientations were assessed using the Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists. (2) Frequent potential treatments used by physiotherapists for in iduals with NSCLBP were identified through a 20-item survey. (3) The association between physiotherapists’ pain attitudes and beliefs and treatment selection was investigated. Descriptive analysis, Pearson’s correlation and multinomial logistic regression were used to analyse the data using SPSS (V.26). A total of 304 responses were included in the analysis. The biomedical (34.45±7.84) and biopsychosocial (31.74±5.67) treatment orientations were relatively low. The most frequent treatments used by physiotherapists were home exercises (87.1%), patient education (82.0%), specific back exercises (80.6%), electrotherapy (61.9%), soft tissue release (58.8%) and spinal mobilisation or manipulation (57.8%). Physiotherapists with a stronger biomedical treatment orientation were more likely to use treatments (p .05) such as specific back exercises, electrotherapy, soft tissue release, hydrotherapy, massage, lumbar supports and acupuncture. However, physiotherapists with a stronger biopsychosocial treatment orientation were more likely to use cognitive functional therapy (p .01). Biomedical and biopsychosocial treatment orientations were relatively low among physiotherapists in SA. Although treatments such as home exercises and patient education were frequently used, some passive and traditional treatments not recommended by clinical practice guidelines continue to be commonly used by physiotherapists in SA. This study has confirmed that physiotherapists’ pain attitudes and beliefs are significantly associated with treatment selection when managing in iduals with NSCLBP. Researchregistry3944.

Abstract: Background: Stroke is a common cause of motor disability. The recovery of upper limb after stroke is poor, with few stroke survivors regaining some functional use of the affected upper limb. This is further complicated by the fact that the prolonged rehabilitation is accompanied by multiple challenges in using and identifying meaningful and motivated treatment tasks that may be adapted and graded to facilitate the rehabilitation program. Virtual reality-based therapy is one of the most innovative approaches in rehabilitation technology and virtual reality systems can provide enhanced feedback to promote motor learning in in iduals with neurological or musculoskeletal diseases. Purpose: This study investigated the effect of virtual reality-based therapy on improving upper limb functions in in iduals with chronic stroke. Methods: Forty Saudi in iduals with chronic stroke (6–24 months following stroke incidence) and degree of spasticity ranged between 1, 1 + and 2 according to Modified Ashworth Scale were included in this study. Participants were randomly assigned into two groups, experimental and control, with the experimental group undertaking a conventional 1-h functional training program, followed by another hour of virtual reality-based therapy using Armeo Spring equipment and the control group received 2 h of a conventional functional training program. The treatment program was conducted three times per week for three successive months. The change in the scores of Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT), WMFT-Time (time required to complete the test) and Hand Grip Strength (HGS) were recorded at baseline and after completion of the treatment. Parametric (paired and unpaired t -tests) non-parametric (Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney tests) statistical tests were used to identify the differences within and between groups (experimental group and control group) and evaluation times (pre- and immediately post-treatment). Results: Both groups showed significant differences (all, P & 0.05) in all measured variables after 3 months of the treatment. In iduals with stoke in the experimental group had a better improvement in ARAT ( P & 0.01), WMFT ( P & 0.01) and WMFT-Time ( P & 0.01) scores after completion of the treatment compared to the control group. No significant difference in HGS scores was detected between groups after completion of the treatment ( P = 0.252). Conclusion: The use of combined treatment of virtual reality-based therapy and conventional functional training program is more effective for improving upper limb functions in in iduals with chronic stroke than the use of the conventional program alone.

Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal problem globally. While spending a longer time in sedentary behaviors is linked to several health problems the quantitative association between different amounts of sedentary time and LBP is still unknown. This study aims to systematically review studies that examined the association between sedentary behavior and LBP development and LBP-related outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis retrieved journal articles published from inception to March 2020 and were obtained by searching bibliographical databases. We included longitudinal study designs, including adult (aged ≥18) in iduals with nonspecific LBP, and reporting estimates of the association between sedentary behavior and LBP development and LBP-related outcomes ( i.e ., pain intensity and disability). Sixteen longitudinal studies with 100,002 participants were included in this review (eight studies included in quantitative syntheses with 83,111 participants). The results of meta-analyses showed that a sedentary time of 3– (Odds ratio (OR) 0.95, 95% CI [0.85–1.07]), 6–8 (OR 0.95, 95% CI [0.88–1.02]), and (OR 0.92, 95% CI [0.85–1.00]) hours per day (h/d) was not associated with LBP development. A sedentary time of ≥3 h/d was associated with poor LBP-related disability (OR 1.24, 95% CI [1.02–1.51]), but not with pain intensity. A meta-analyses of longitudinal studies indicated that sedentary behavior of different durations was not associated with LBP development. However, the results showed that sedentary behavior ≥3 h/d was associated with worse LBP-related disability. These conclusions are tentative as the evidence was derived from mostly fair-quality studies using subjective measures of sedentary behavior. PROSPERO (registration number CRD42018107078).

Abstract: FIFA has a Medical and Research Centre (F-MARC) which has designed a comprehensive program targeting muscle strength, kinesthetic awareness, and neuromuscular control during static and dynamic movements to decrease injury risk for soccer players. A number of meta-analyses now exist on how effective FIFA's programs to prevent and reduce injury actually are, with various degrees of injury reduction reported. This research aimed to carry out a systematic review and to meta-analyse the existing meta-analyses so that a conclusion can be drawn on how effective the injury programs are. Relevant studies were identified by searching five databases for the period January 1990 till 1 July 2018. Results of each meta-analysis were combined together using risk ratios (RR) in a summary meta-analysis. QUOROM checklist and AMSTAR 2 assessment were used to assess the quality of reporting and methodology in the meta-analyses. Four meta-analyses met the inclusion criteria covering fifteen primary studies. All four meta-analyses scored quite highly on QUOROM, but two were rated by AMSTAR 2 as moderate quality, and two were found to be of critically low quality. An overall risk reduction in 34% (RR = 0.66 [0.60-0.73]) for all injuries and a reduction in 29% (RR = 0.71 [0.63-0.81]) for injuries to the lower limbs were revealed by this meta-analysis of meta-analyses. Combining every previous meta-analysis into a single source in this paper produced decisive evidence that the risk of injuries while playing soccer is reduced as a result of FIFA's injury prevention programs.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term impact of a pulsed neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) laser [high-intensity laser therapy (HILT)] in the treatment of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). A s le of 30 children participated in this study (15 in the laser group and 15 in the placebo group), with a mean age of 10.53 ± 1.25 years. Children who were randomly assigned to the laser group received HILT thrice per week for 4 weeks, plus the exercise program. HILT scanned each knee with 600 J in two phases and 15 J to 10 points for a total of 750 J for each knee. The placebo laser group received placebo HILT plus the same exercise program. The outcomes measured in this study were the pain level by the visual analog scale (VAS) and gait parameters by the GAITRite The VAS results significantly decreased post-treatment in the laser group relative to the placebo group and were still improved at the 12-week follow-up. Gait parameters significantly increased in the laser group after 4 weeks of treatment and after 12 weeks compared to the placebo group. HILT, when combined with an exercise program, appears to be more effective in children with JRA than a placebo laser procedure with exercises.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the burden of musculoskeletal (MSK) health conditions in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries based on the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data. The data for GCC countries were obtained from the 2019 GBD study to evaluate the burden of MSK disorders which include the following countries: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The main outcome measures were age-standardized prevalence and years of life lived with disability (YLDs) associated with MSK disorders. The burden of MSK disorders attributable to the category of behavioral, metabolic, or environmental/occupational was reported to estimate the risk-attributable fractions of disease. MSK disorders prevalence ranked fifth in Kuwait, sixth in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and UAE, and seventh in Saudi Arabia among all the diseases in 2019. For all GCC countries, MSK disorders were ranked the second leading cause of disability as measured by YLDs for the years 1990 and 2019. The age-standardized prevalence of MSK disorders in 2019 for Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE was 18.56% (95% UI: 17.51–19.66), 19.35% (18.25–20.52), 18.23% (17.14–19.36), 18.93% (17.81–20.06), 19.05% (17.96–20.22), and 18.26% (17.18–19.38), respectively. The age-standardized YLDs per 100,000 in iduals of MSK disorders in 2019 for Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE were 1,734 (1,250–2,285), 1,764 (1,272–2,322), 1,710 (1,224–2,256), 1,721 (1,246–2,274), 1,715 (1,230–2,274), and 1,681 (1,207–2,235), respectively. For risk factors, high body mass index (BMI) had the highest contribution to MSK disorders YLDs in most GCC countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Saudi Arabia), followed by the exposure to occupational ergonomic factors which had the highest contribution to MSK disorders YLDs in Qatar and UAE. There was an increase in both age-standardized prevalence of MSK disorders and YLDs between 1990 and 2019 that was observed for all GCC countries. Some risk factors such as higher BMI and exposure to occupational ergonomic factors were highly associated with YLDs due to MSK disorders. The results of this study provide guidance for the potential nature of preventative and management programs to optimize the in idual’s health.

Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is associated with altered postural control, mostly observed at later stages in the LBP trajectory. It is unclear whether postural control differs in the acute phase of LBP. Is postural control different in the acute phase of LBP (<2 weeks) and do differences depend on pain intensity, psychological features and/or availability of vision to control posture? Cross-sectional study design. An unstable sitting paradigm (to reduce the contribution of the legs) assessed postural control of participants with acute LBP (n = 133) and pain-free controls (n = 74). Centre of pressure (CoP) reflected seat movements. Participants balanced with eyes closed, open, or with visual feedback of the anteroposterior CoP position. Balance performance was expressed by CoP displacement and velocity, and stabilogram diffusion analysis. Generalised estimating equations (GEEs) including body mass index, sex, and safety bar touch, tested differences between groups and between balance conditions. Separate GEEs were used to model performance measures and bar touch (yes/no) including pain intensity, disability and psychological features. CoP displacement and critical point coordinates (time and distance where CoP diffusion rate or spread slows) were larger in LBP than pain-free controls independent of balance condition. Long-term diffusion rate was greater in LBP than controls with eyes closed. CoP velocity measures (RMS, short term diffusion rate) were not different between groups. Pain intensity and psychological features were not linearly related to balance performance in participants with acute LBP. Higher pain catastrophizing was associated with touching the safety bar. Postural control differs in acute LBP than pain-free controls. Findings might be explained by altered sensory processing, lesser ability to reweight proprioceptive information and/or less accurate trunk muscle control. Although not linearly related to pain-intensity or psychological features in the acute stage, reduced balance performance could potentially have impact on LBP recovery.
