Background
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common soft tissue rheumatic disease. There is no established treatment plan for FM. Current treatments primarily focus on controlling symptoms and improving the quality of life. The aim of our study was to determine how connective tissue massage (CTM) and kinesiotaping (KT) affect pain and depression in patients with fibromyalgia, and to compare their effects on quality of life.
Methods
Thirty-four patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia were included. Participants divided into two groups. Group 1: CTM (n = 17, mean age = 35.47 ± 6.84 years), Group 2: KT (n = 17, mean age = 34.00 ± 5.46 years). This study was initiated by obtaining sociodemographic information. Pain (Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)), pain characteristics (McGill Pain Questionnaire), disease impact on patients (Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ)), depression (Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI)), and quality of life (Short Form-36 (SF-36)) were evaluated. All participants received electrotherapy (TENS and infrared treatment) for 25 min, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. CTM was applied 3 days a week, KT was applied 2 days a week for 4 weeks.
Results
A significant improvement with very large effect size was found in VAS, McGill, FIQ, BDI, and SF-36 variables in both groups (p < 0.05). The change after 4 weeks of treatment was similar between groups in terms of all parameters (p > 0.05).
Conclusion
Both CTM and KT improved pain, disease effects depression, and quality of life. These two interventions, which are not superior, can be added to the treatment program for patients with fibromyalgia.

Background
Remote assessments are promising for coping with adverse situations, such as those imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Measurement properties must be specific to the characteristics of the population and the context in which the instruments are used.
Purpose
s: 1) To evaluate the parallel reliability of the timed up and go (TUG) and 30-s chair-stand test (30CST) performed in-person and remotely and 2) to analyze the intra-rater, inter-rater, and test-retest reliability of these tests assessed remotely in older adults with different musculoskeletal conditions.
Methods
The sample included 50 older adults. Parallel reliability was determined by comparing in-person and remote data. Bland-Altman plots displayed differences between tests (TUG and 30CST) performed in-person and remotely, showing the mean scores of each participant. The intra-rater, inter-rater, and test-retest reliability for remote assessments were analyzed using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) with a 95% confidence interval.
Results
Parallel reliability was high between in-person and remote assessments (ICC >0.82). Intra-rater, inter-rater, and test-retest reliability were very high for remote assessments (ICC >0.90). The minimal detectable change for the remote assessment of TUG (MDC <1.95) and 30CST (MDC <2.39) indicated adequate sensitivity. In both tests, the standard error of the measurement was acceptable (SEM% < 10%) and Bland-Altman limits of agreement were solid.
Conclusions
The remote assessment of TUG and 30CST in older adults with different musculoskeletal conditions was as reliable as those performed in person and may be considered when in-person assessments are impossible.

Background
This study aimed to investigate whether self-care foam rolling (FR) intervention, in addition to regular physical therapy, effectively improves pain, knee joint range of motion (ROM), muscle function (knee extension strength and gait speed), and balance function in patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) during the second and third postoperative weeks.
Methods
A total of 15 patients admitted to the hospital and who underwent TKA for knee osteoarthritis were enrolled. FR was performed for more than 10 min in the morning and 10 min in the afternoon each day from the second to the third postoperative week. Knee flexion and extension ROM, pain (resting and stretching position), 10 m walk speed, timed up-and-go test (TUG), one-leg stand, and maximal voluntary isometric contraction torques of knee extensors were assessed.
Results
Significant improvements in knee flexion pain, knee flexion ROM, knee extension ROM, knee extension strength, 10 m walk speed, TUG, and one-leg stand were observed from the second to the third postoperative week. However, at rest, no statistically significant differences in pain were found.
Conclusions
Muscle function of the knee extensors improved following the self-care FR intervention probably attributed to the adjusted pain level.

Background
The ankle is one of the most commonly injured areas in people with active and sedentary lives. Achilles tendinopathy (AT) is characterized by pain and stiffness that limits daily living work. Myofascial release and eccentric training are believed to improve soft tissue circulation, strength, pain, ROM, and function.
Objective
To compare the effects of myofascial release with and without eccentric resistance on pain, range of motion, and functional disability in patients with AT.
Methodology
This randomized clinical trial was conducted with a sample of 72 participants selected via a convenient sampling technique. Participants were divided into two groups, Group A was given myofascial release therapy, and Group B was given myofascial release with eccentric resistance. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Goniometer, and Foot ankle disability index (FADI) were outcome measure tools for pain, range of motion, and functional disability. The assessment was done at baseline, 2nd and 4th week. Mann-Whitney U Test and Friedman's ANOVA were applied to find between-group and within-group differences. P-value was set at ≤0.05.
Results
There was a significant difference in pain (p = 0.03), plantarflexion ROM (p = 0.008), and functional disability (p = 0.02) between the two groups. However, no significant difference was observed in dorsiflexion (p = 0.06). Within-group differences were also significant (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
It is concluded that myofascial release with eccentric resistance was more effective than myofascial release without eccentric resistance in improving pain, range of motion, and functional disability in Achilles tendinopathy.

Introduction
Changes in blood pressure and electrocardiogram are important factors that determine exercise testing. This study investigated blood pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in healthy young adults after performing acute moderate aerobic exercise protocols.
Methods
Forty young healthy untrained non-athletes, twenty males and twenty females (age, 25 ± 5.6 years; body weight, 65 ± 4.0 kg; body height, 176.9 ± 2.5 cm) were recruited for the study. The exercise regimen was acute moderate exercise for 20 min on a treadmill consistently for 14 days daily at the speed of 13 km/h. The body weight, blood pressure, and electrocardiograph were measured before and after exercise.
Results
There was a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in body weight (59 ± 3.2 kg) of female participants after 14 days of aerobic exercise relative to their baseline mean value (63 ± 2.9 kg). The systolic blood pressure decreased (P < 0.05) in males (117 ± 1.1 mmHg) and females (117 ± 1.0 mmHg) when compared to the mean baseline values in males (127 ± 1.3 mmHg) and females (128 ±0 .3 mmHg). The diastolic blood pressure also decreased (P < 0.05) in male (71 ± 0.88 mmHg) participants after exercise when compared to the baseline mean values (79 ± 1.2 mmHg) while there was no change in diastolic blood pressure of females. The ECG parameters remained unchanged, while the heart rate (75 ± 1.3 beats/min) increased (P < 0.05) after exercise in all participants relative to the baseline (69 ± 2 beats/min).
Conclusion
The results suggest that moderate aerobic exercise normalized blood pressure and electrical activity of the heart while reducing heart rate after 14 days of consistent aerobic exercise in healthy individuals.

Clinical scenario
Following intense physical training, it is common for athletes to develop muscle soreness, muscle tightness and a sense of fatigue. Minimizing the time spent in this state is advantageous to limit time off from sport, potential injury and lack of mental focus.
Clinical question
Does dry needling aid in post-training recovery in athletes?
Summary of key findings
A search was performed for articles exploring the effect of dry needling on exercise/training recovery in athletes. Six articles were included in this critically appraised topic. Three articles were randomized controlled trials, one was a cross-over design, one was a case series, and one was a survey. Five of the six studies demonstrated that dry needling had some sort of positive effect on post-training recovery. One article found DN did not improve muscle soreness after a long distance race.
Clinical bottom line
Based on six studies, DN provides mixed results on a variety of physiological and subjective measures. No adverse effects were reported with the use of DN on athletes following post-training.
Strength of recommendation
In agreement with the Center of Evidence-Based Medicine, the consistent results from three Level II and two Level III intervention studies designate that there is grade D evidence that DN may aid in some post-training recovery variables.
临床情景在进行高强度体育训练后，运动员通常会出现肌肉酸痛、肌肉紧绷和疲劳感。临床问题干针疗法是否有助于运动员训练后的恢复？ 主要研究结果摘要我们搜索了探讨干针疗法对运动员运动/训练恢复效果的文章。六篇文章被纳入了这一经过严格评估的主题。其中三篇为随机对照试验，一篇为交叉设计，一篇为病例系列，一篇为调查。六项研究中有五项表明，干针疗法对训练后的恢复有一定的积极作用。一篇文章发现，干针疗法并不能改善长距离比赛后的肌肉酸痛。建议力度与循证医学中心一致，三项二级和两项三级干预研究的一致结果表明，有 D 级证据表明，DN 可能有助于训练后的某些恢复变量。

Background
To monitor public interest (PI) in information related to Dry needling (DN) therapy and examine potential temporal, seasonal, and income-related trends that may impact PI by using the relative search volume (RSV) from the Google Trends tool for the keyword "Dry Needling."
Methods
For this cross-sectional observational study, a dataset was created using the Google Trends tool from 2004 to the present in the United States (US). To examine potential income-related disparities in PI in DN across the US, RSV values were recorded in the five states with the highest and the lowest median income (Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Utah, and Washington and Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, New Mexico, Kentucky, respectively).
Results
A linear regression model showed that the PI in DN increased significantly (R2 = 0,902, p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the RSV values between the month of the year and the season of the year (p = 1.000 and p = 0.997, respectively). RSV values of the five highest-income and low-income states showed significant increases (R2 = 0,624, p < 0.001, and R2 = 0,477, p < 0.001, respectively). More rapid growth in interest in DN in states with high income compared to those with low income (p < 0.001).
Conclusions
PI in DN treatment is increasing in both high and low-income states. States with higher incomes are more interested. DN treatment is expected to become more popular, which will lead to a rising demand for comprehensive education in medical schools and clinician training programs. In addition, there will also be a need for easily accessible, high-quality information resources.
背景通过使用谷歌趋势工具对关键词 "干针疗法 "的相对搜索量（RSV），监测公众对干针疗法相关信息的兴趣（PI），并研究可能影响 PI 的潜在时间、季节和收入相关趋势。 方法在这项横断面观察性研究中，使用谷歌趋势工具创建了美国 2004 年至今的数据集。结果线性回归模型显示，DN 的 PI 显著增加（R2 = 0,902, p <0.001）。不同月份和不同季节的 RSV 值之间没有明显差异（p = 1.000 和 p = 0.997）。五个最高收入州和低收入州的 RSV 值均有显著增加（分别为 R2 = 0,624, p < 0.001 和 R2 = 0,477, p < 0.001）。与低收入州相比，高收入州对 DN 的兴趣增长更快（p < 0.001）。收入越高的州对 DN 治疗越感兴趣。预计 DN 治疗将越来越受欢迎，这将导致医学院和临床医生培训项目对综合教育的需求增加。此外，还需要易于获取的高质量信息资源。

Background
Myofascial Induction Therapy (MIT) is a physiotherapeutic (PT) intervention addressing musculoskeletal disorders. Standardizing MIT as a manual PT intervention ensures consistency and replicability.
Aim
To describe correlated variables and changes in fascial stiffness and pelvic mobility after applying the Crossed Hands Technique based on MIT.
Methods
A quasi-experimental study involved 15 PTs trained in myofascial induction and 15 healthy individuals. Environmental (ambient temperature, stretcher height, width), patient (subscapular fatty fold, BMI, height, chest length, lumbopelvic mobility, fascial stiffness), and PT variables (pressure, traction, hand temperature, kinematic changes) were assessed during lumbodorsal hands-cross at 1-min intervals for 5 min. Pelvic mobility was measured using kinovea photogrammetry and dorsolumbar stiffness using a durometer. Descriptive analysis and correlations were applied.
Results
PTs had a mean 5.3 years of MIT experience. The average force was 5.5 N, traction force 0.39 N. Post-technique, individuals showed 4° increased pelvic mobility, minimal stiffness changes at T7 and L4 levels. Kinematic variables for the PTs revealed an average shoulder flexion of 40° and bilateral elbow flexion of 18°. Following the application of the technique, individuals who received MIT experienced a 4° increase in pelvic mobility, with only minor changes in stiffness observed at both the T7 and L4 levels.
Conclusions
The Crossed Hands Technique involves key variables like force and traction, varying over time. Clinical outcomes are influenced by patient and environmental factors. Notably, the physiotherapist's hand temperature, right shoulder internal rotation, right foot abduction, and fourth finger opening show significant correlations with tissue stiffness changes.

Background
Coactivation between tonic and phasic muscles is essential for correct posture and movement. Impaired movement patterns and postural changes facilitate the flexor response to protect painful tissue in the injured area. Tone changes between tonic and phasic muscles lead to an imbalance in the rotator cuff (RC) muscles.
Design
A randomized controlled pilot study.
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of applying myofascial release (MFR) to the muscles in the cervicothoracic region for the treatment of fascia limitations in patients with postoperative RC tear.
Materials and methods
A total of 20 patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The patients in the control group performed exercises, whereas those in the MFR group performed exercises in addition to MFR. Pain intensity, grip strength, pectoralis minor flexibility, Constant Murley Score (CMS), and Short Form-36 (SF-36) score were evaluated. Pain intensity was recorded before and after the MFR sessions.
Results
There were no significant differences between the groups regarding pain, grip strength, pectoralis minor flexibility, CMS values, or SF-36 score (p > 0.05). There were significant differences in pain levels measured before and after all MFR sessions. Moreover, a significant decrease is shown between the first and last sessions in the MFR group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
MFR can be useful, especially in postoperative RC patients who have pain in the early period. Significant reductions in pain intensity after MFR can help prepare patients for exercise and reduce pain-related medication use.

Background
Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common conditions in the United States. Dysfunctional patterns of the erector spinae (ES) and gluteus medius (GM) muscles often accompany episodes of LBP.
Objectives
To evaluate the intra-rater reliability of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) in obtaining thickness measurements of the ES and GM muscles at rest and during submaximal contraction.
Design
Single-group repeated-measures reliability study.
Methods
A volunteer sample of 30 adults with current LBP was examined. Thickness measurements of the ES and GM at rest and during contraction were obtained by using RUSI during a single session. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were used to estimate reliability. Reliability was further assessed by calculating standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC).
Results
By using a mean of 3 measures, intra-rater reliability estimates ranged from 0.999 to 0.999 for ES, and 0.998 to 0.999 for GM. Reliability estimates for single thickness measures ranged from 0.997 to 0.998 for ES, and 0.995 to 0.997 for GM. Reliability estimates were lower for percent thickness change measures than the corresponding single thickness measures for all conditions.
Conclusions
RUSI thickness measurements of the ES and GM muscles in patients with LBP, when based on the mean of 3 measures, are highly reliable when taken by a single examiner in a single session.
