Abstract

Background PFPS is a common knee-flexion-induced pain among young people who attend physiotherapy. Significant This study focused on PT management on PFPS. Methods The papers were retrieved via an electronic search of year-round databases. The McMaster Critical Review Form for Quantitative Research and the Cochrane (EPOC) were utilised for quality and risk assessments. Limitations Small evidence on Blood flow restrictions, kinesiophobia, and patient education could be due to lack of investigation. Findings More trials on the effect of various types of PFPS intervention. Implications Physiotherapy improves pain, physical function, and kinesiophobia, but further research is needed for clinicalÂ applicability.

Physical activity and exercise for chronic pain in adults: an overview of Cochrane Reviews.

Louise Geneen, R Moore, Clare Clarke … (2017)

Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting beyond normal tissue healing time, generally taken to be 12 weeks. It contributes to disability, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, poor quality of life, and healthcare costs. Chronic pain has a weighted mean prevalence in adults of 20%.For many years, the treatment choice for chronic pain included recommendations for rest and inactivity. However, exercise may have specific benefits in reducing the severity of chronic pain, as well as more general benefits associated with improved overall physical and mental health, and physical functioning.Physical activity and exercise programmes are increasingly being promoted and offered in various healthcare systems, and for a variety of chronic pain conditions. It is therefore important at this stage to establish the efficacy and safety of these programmes, and furthermore to address the critical factors that determine their success or failure.

Key Factors Associated with Adherence to Physical Exercise in Patients with Chronic Diseases and Older Adults: An Umbrella Review

Daniel Collado-Mateo, Ana Myriam Lavín-Pérez, Cecilia Peñacoba … (2021)

Physical inactivity is a major concern and poor adherence to exercise programs is often reported. The aim of this paper was to systematically review published reviews on the study of adherence to physical exercise in chronic patients and older adults and to identify those adherence-related key factors more frequently suggested by reviews for that population. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed. Results were classified considering the target population and participants’ characteristics to identify the most repeated factors obtained for each condition. Fifty-five articles were finally included. Fourteen key factors were identified as relevant to increase adherence to physical exercise by at least ten reviews: (a) characteristics of the exercise program, (b) involvement of professionals from different disciplines, (c) supervision, (d) technology, (e) initial exploration of participant’s characteristics, barriers, and facilitators, (f) participants education, adequate expectations and knowledge about risks and benefits, (g) enjoyment and absence of unpleasant experiences, (h) integration in daily living, (i) social support and relatedness, (j) communication and feedback, (k) available progress information and monitoring, (l) self-efficacy and competence, (m) participant’s active role and (n) goal setting. Therefore, adherence to physical exercise is affected by several variables that can be controlled and modified by researchers and professionals.
