Telerehabilitation in Parkinson's disease: A critical review of 2025 meta-analyses on motor outcomes and quality of life
Two 2025 meta-analyses show conflicting results on gait and balance, but consistent gains in quality of life. Here is how to interpret the data for clinical decision-making.
What recent evidence says about exercise effectiveness and adjunctive treatments in rotator cuff tendinopathy
Network meta-analyses rank concentric strengthening as the most effective exercise for dysfunction, while psychological factors and central sensitization explain outcome variability that structural diagnosis alone cannot.
What dose of exercise predicts knee OA improvement
Does frequency, volume, or intensity drive better KOOS and VAS outcomes in knee osteoarthritis? A review of recent evidence on adherence, dosing, and clinical impact.
The role of dosage and adherence in outcomes for chronic low back pain
Literature shows dosage and supervision drive outcomes in chronic LBP. Mobile health improves adherence, but partial compliance carries a measurable cost. Here is how to use this data to justify remote follow-up intensity.
Calibrating Load When You Cannot See the Patient
Remote home programs require structured dosing and continuous tracking. Literature shows why vague instructions fail, how to monitor progression, and what to do when symptoms fluctuate.
Weighing self-report against performance tests when deciding phase progression
Patient-reported scores and objective performance metrics frequently diverge. The literature shows why this happens and how to use both signals without defaulting to rigid cut-offs.
Postural Landmark Tracking: Predictive Value Versus Descriptive Baseline
Baseline postural indices rarely forecast recovery curves. This article examines how millimetric landmark shifts, dynamic stress-testing, and angular correlations should actually guide manual versus exercise-led interventions, and what to document to sustain adherence past week three.
