A comprehensive review mapped how red flags are defined across musculoskeletal clinical practice guidelines and systematic reviews of guidelines, found no shared definition, and proposed a unified one for clinical and research use.
A multi-center randomized trial followed 586 adults with painful knee osteoarthritis for 30 weeks to compare monthly boosters, boosters every eight weeks, and no further treatment after an initial six-week needling course.
A plain-language walkthrough of a 2025 systematic review with meta-analysis of five randomized trials of breathing exercises in adults with persistent neck pain.
A plain-language walkthrough of a 145-patient multicenter randomized trial comparing cervicothoracic and upper-rib thrust manipulation plus electrical dry needling against peripheral mobilization, exercise, and interferential current.
A scoping review of 70 studies on how well red flags detect spinal malignancy in people presenting with low back pain, and why history of cancer keeps standing out.
A plain-language look at a randomised controlled trial comparing a six-week telerehabilitation exercise programme with a digital self-care booklet in adults with chronic non-specific neck pain.
A plain-language walkthrough of a systematic review of five clinical trials on pelvic floor prehabilitation before radical prostatectomy and its effect on urinary continence, quality of life and early activity after surgery.
A plain-language walk through a systematic review and meta-analysis of 106 studies and 20,063 adults, tracking measured walking, strength, and exercise capacity from 3 months to 24 months after acute infection.
A plain-language walkthrough of a randomized controlled trial testing whether pushing early activity to higher levels changes function, strength, and delirium in ICU patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation.
A plain-language walkthrough of a systematic review of twelve studies on vestibular rehabilitation therapy for dizziness, balance, and gait in children recovering from concussion.
An umbrella review of 97 systematic reviews, 1039 randomised trials and more than 128,000 adults, summarised in plain language for rehabilitation clinicians.
Sixty-seven surgeons, physiotherapists and sports medicine doctors from 14 countries built a shared roadmap for rehabilitation after meniscectomy, meniscus repair and meniscus reconstruction — and were candid about how thin the evidence underneath it is.
A three-arm randomized controlled trial compared two preoperative home programs — education plus coping skills, and a more supervised multimodal physiotherapy package — against usual care in knee arthroplasty candidates who catastrophize about their pain, with follow-up to six months…
A randomized trial asked whether teaching patients to reappraise primary chronic back pain as a nondangerous brain-generated signal could produce large, lasting pain relief. This course reports what the trial did, what it found, and where the authors set the…
A plain-language walkthrough of a systematic review of 11 controlled trials in community-dwelling older adults with musculoskeletal and cardiopulmonary conditions, covering safety, adherence, patient outcomes and health service costs.

An international panel of physiotherapists, gynaecologists, psychologists and other clinicians worked through three survey rounds to build the first tailored list of pain science education concepts for females with persistent pelvic pain. This course reports what they generated, where they…
A nationwide matched-cohort claims study compared adults who started an employer-sponsored digital musculoskeletal program with adults who started in-person physical therapy, then counted the surgeries that followed over the next year.
A plain-language walk through an umbrella review that pooled 133 systematic reviews of randomised trials to ask whether exercise improves general cognition, memory and executive function — in children, adults, older adults, and clinical groups.
