Memory Impairments Associated With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: A Critically Appraised Topic
Karlee Burns, Leah Sanford, Ryan Tierney, and Jane McDevitt
Development and Validation of a Novel Knee-Specific Patient-Reported Outcomes Measure
James L. Farnsworth II, Todd Evans, Helen Binkley, and Minsoo Kang
supported when the items from a PROM are relevant and logical for the outcome of interest. For example, a knee-specific PROM should only include items that measure knee-specific function. Evidence of structural validity can be supported through an examination of the relationship between examinees and their
The Effect of Therapeutic Exercise Interventions on Physical and Psychosocial Outcomes in Adults Aged 80 Years and Older: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Philippa J.A. Nicolson, Vicky Duong, Esther Williamson, Sally Hopewell, and Sarah E. Lamb
Statistics, 2012 ). Optimizing physical function, quality of life, and psychosocial outcomes among this group is essential to facilitate ongoing independence. Therapeutic exercise is participation in physical activity that is planned, structured, repetitive, and purposeful for the improvement or maintenance
The Effectiveness of Nonoperative Treatment for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rupture on Patient-Reported Outcomes and Muscular Strength: A Critically Appraised Topic
Emily R. Hunt, Cassandra N. Parise, and Timothy A. Butterfield
the best and most current literature that measured the effects of conservative, nonoperative ACL treatment on quadriceps strength and patient-perceived function using isokinetic dynamometry, the single-leg hop test, or the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective knee form. Focused
The Relationship Between Resilience and Self-Reported Function in Patients After Total Joint Arthroplasty: A Critically Appraised Topic
Ansley E. Swann, Rachel R. Kleis, and Johanna M. Hoch
population. 10 While there is limited research evaluating the relationship between resilience and self-reported function after musculoskeletal injury, there have been studies that have examined this relationship in the patients who have undergone total joint arthroplasty. Therefore, the purpose of this
Can Movement Games Enhance Executive Function in Overweight Children? A Randomized Controlled Trial
Chien-Chih Chou, Kuan-Chou Chen, Mei-Yao Huang, Hsin-Yu Tu, and Chung-Ju Huang
Childhood obesity has become a global problem ( Wang, Min, Khuri, & Li, 2017 ; Yang, Shields, Guo, & Liu, 2018 ). In addition to correlations between obesity and various health threats, such as hypertension and Type 2 diabetes, research has linked obesity to poor cognitive functioning
The Association of Fear-Avoidance Beliefs and Self-Reported Knee Function in Patients With a Knee Injury: A Critically Appraised Topic
Francesca Genoese, Shelby Baez, and Johanna M. Hoch
rehabilitation. 5 However, despite the return of adequate objective physical function, return to sport is not always accomplished. 6 It has been reported that failure to return to sport may be due to biopsychosocial impairments such as deficits in social support, decreases in self-efficacy, or elevated levels
The Effect of Staged Versus Usual Care Physiotherapy on Knee Function Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Kestrel McNeill, Hana Marmura, Melanie Werstine, Greg Alcock, Trevor Birmingham, Kevin Willits, Alan Getgood, Marie-Eve LeBel, Robert Litchfield, Dianne Bryant, and J. Robert Giffin
Young athletic patients who undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) have high expectations of a normally functioning knee and a successful return to their preinjury sports or activities after surgery. 1 Unfortunately, these patients experience low rates of return to their
Dose–Response Relationships of Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity and Sedentary Time With Renal Function Indices in Adolescents With Reduced Renal Function: A Cross-Sectional Study
Zisai Wang, Qiuwei Tian, Yujie Xu, Marady Hun, Lin Hu, Mingyi Zhao, and Qingnan He
Reduced renal function is a hallmark of kidney disease and is usually defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≤60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 . 1 The latest report indicates that the prevalence of a reduced eGFR among children aged 12–17 years in the United States is approximately 0
