Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of core stability exercises on postpartum lumbopelvic pain: A randomized controlled trial.
Core stability exercises have been widely advocated for management of patients with different musculoskeletal conditions, even though its effect on postpartum Lumbopelvic Pain (LPP) has not been fully investigated. ⋯ Core stability exercises in addition to traditional treatment significantly decreased pain and improved function for women with postpartum LPP.

Turkish validity and reliability of the patient satisfaction scale in physiotherapy for patients with musculoskeletal pain.
Patient satisfaction is a key point in evaluating the quality of physiotherapy services. ⋯ The Turkish version of the PSSP is a valid, reliable and easily applicable measure.

Dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia in elderly hospitalization stroke patients: Risk factors, cerebral infarction area comparison.
Stroke is the most common neurological disease that is associated with deglutition disorders. The aim of this study was to analyze dysphagia and aspiration pneumonia risk factors in post-stroke elderly inpatients. ⋯ In stroke inpatients over sixty years of age, it is necessary to distinguish the patients with multiple previous cerebral infarctions, high NIHSS score, masticatory muscle paralysis, and abolition of gag reflex for early detection and rehabilitation of dysphagia.

The effect of burn severity on functional capacity in patients with burn injury.
Burns are traumatic injuries that result in severe tissue damage. A reduction in exercise capacity is the most common functional impairment, although it is not clear to what extent the severity of the burn injury affects the exercise capacity. ⋯ Burn injury severity was seen to affect the functional capacity and cardiovascular responses to the shuttle walk test. Shuttle walk test can be preferred to evaluate moderate and major burn injury patients' functional capacity in the acute period of injury.

Lower back pain and healthy subjects exhibit distinct lower limb perturbation response strategies: A preliminary study.
It is hypothesized that inherent differences in movement strategies exist between control subjects and those with a history of lower back pain (LBP). Previous motion analysis studies focus primarily on tracking spinal movements, neglecting the connection between the lower limbs and spinal function. Lack of knowledge surrounding the functional implications of LBP may explain the diversity in success from general treatments currently offered to LBP patients. ⋯ These findings suggest that particular reactive movement patterns may indicate muscular deficits in subjects with hLBP. Identification of these deficits may aid in developing specific rehabilitation programs to prevent future LBP recurrence.
