Objectives: Following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), maladaptive changes occur in the motor cortex representation of the quadriceps, evidenced by increases in intracortical inhibition and facilitation. The primary objective of this proof-of-concept study was to determine if anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can alter quadriceps intracortical inhibition and facilitation in an early-ACLR population after 6 weeks of application during exercise., Methods: We performed a randomised, triple-blind controlled trial for proof of concept comparing anodal-tDCS to sham-tDCS following ACLR. Anodal-tDCS or sham-tDCS was delivered to the primary motor cortex for 20 min, three times per week, for 6 weeks from week 2 post ACLR. Transcranial magnetic stimulation quantified quadriceps short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), long-interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) and short-interval intracortical facilitation (SICF). Significance at p<0.05., Results: Participants were randomised to anodal (n=11) or sham (n=10) tDCS. Participants were predominantly male (n=13) and had a mean (SD) age of 24.4 (4.7) years. For SICI, there was a group-by-time effect for anodal-tDCS (β=0.519, 95% CI 0.057 to 0.981, p=0.028) and an effect for time (β=-1.421, 95% CI -1.919 to -0.923, p<0.001). For LICI, there was no group-by-time (β=-0.217, 95% CI -0.916 to 0.482, p=0.543) or time effect (β=0.039, 95% CI -0.815 to -0.893, p=0.928). For SICF, there was a group-by-time effect for anodal-tDCS (β=-0.764, 95%CI -1.407 to -0.120, p=0.020) but not time (β=0.504, 95% CI -0.627 to 1.635, p=0.383)., Conclusion: This study provided proof of the efficacy of anodal-tDCS post ACLR in reducing maladaptive quadriceps inhibition and facilitation. We demonstrated anodal-tDCS improved facilitation and inhibition post ACLR, which are drivers of arthrogenic muscle inhibition., Competing Interests: This study was supported by the Orthopaedic Research Foundation of Western Australia whose funding purchased the tDCS devices and a Western Australian Department of Health Innovation Near-Miss Award., (Copyright © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

Rehabilitative practice is often criticised for being non-individualised, monotonous and not well aligned with foundational principles that drive continued physiological adaptation(s). However, our understanding of neuromuscular physiology is rapidly increasing and the way we programme rehabilitation is improving. This viewpoint highlights some of the potential considerations around why the adaptations achieved during rehabilitation programmes may be suboptimal. We provide basic, clinician-focused discussion about potential confounding physiological factors, and put forward several exercise-based programming recommendations and novel approaches to consider in contemporary rehabilitative practice. Specifically, we outline several potential mechanisms contributing to poor muscle activation and function that might be present following musculoskeletal injury. However, clinicians require strategies capable of attenuating these impairments to restore proper function. Therefore, we also provide an overview of recommended strength and conditioning guidelines, and novel strategies (such as external pacing and electrical stimulation techniques) that clinicians can consider to potentially improve the efficacy of musculoskeletal rehabilitation., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to quantify motor cortex descending drive and voluntary activation (VA) in people with lower-limb OA compared to controls., Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis according to the PRISMA guidelines was carried out. Seven databases were searched until 30 December 2022. Studies assessing VA or responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS; i.e. motor evoked potential, intracortical facilitation, motor threshold, short-interval intracortical inhibition, and silent period) were included. Study quality was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute criteria and evidence certainty using GRADE. The meta-analysis was performed using RevMan inverse variance, mixed-effect models., Results: Eighteen studies were included, all deemed low-quality. Quadriceps VA was impaired with knee OA compared to healthy controls (standardised mean difference (SMD) = 0.84, 95% CI = -1.12-0.56, low certainty). VA of the more symptomatic limb was impaired (SMD = 0.42, 95% CI = -0.75-0.09, moderate certainty) compared to the other limb in people with hip/knee OA. As only two studies assessed responses to TMS, very low-certainty evidence demonstrated no significant difference between knee OA and healthy controls for motor evoked potential, intracortical facilitation, resting motor threshold or short-interval intracortical inhibition., Conclusions: Low-certainty evidence suggests people with knee OA have substantial impairments in VA of their quadriceps muscle when compared to healthy controls. With moderate certainty we conclude that people with hip and knee OA had larger impairments in VA of the quadriceps in their more painful limb compared to their non-affected/other limb.

Our primary objective was to explore the barriers preventing clinicians from implementing what they think is ideal practice as it relates to using tools to aid diagnosis and monitor progress in mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy. Our secondary objectives were to describe the assessments employed by clinicians in their own practice to aid with (a) diagnosis and (b) monitoring progress in Achilles tendinopathy and explore the outcome measure domains clinicians believe to be the most and least important when managing patients with Achilles tendinopathy. We employed a qualitative descriptive study design. Thirteen participants (eight female, five male) from across Australia, consisting of two junior physiotherapists, five senior physiotherapists working in private practice, four senior physiotherapists working within elite sports organisations and two sport and exercise medicine doctors, were included and one-on-one interviews were performed. Audio was transcribed then entered into NVivo for coding and analysis. Four main themes were perceived as barriers to implementing ideal practice of assessment and monitoring in people with Achilles tendinopathy: financial constraints, time constraints, access to equipment and patient symptom severity. Assessments related to function, pain on loading, pain over a specified time frame and palpation are commonly used to assist diagnosis. Assessments related to disability, pain on loading, pain over a specified time frame and physical function capacity are used to monitor progress over time. Furthermore, pain on loading and pain over a specified time frame were considered the most important outcome measure domains for assisting diagnosis whereas pain on loading, patient rating of the condition and physical function capacity were the most important outcome measure domains for monitoring progress. A number of barriers exist that prevent clinicians from implementing what they view as ideal assessment and monitoring for Achilles tendinopathy. These barriers should be considered when developing new assessments and in clinical practice recommendations., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2022.

Background: There is no evidence whether kinesiophobia affects women and men with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome differently., Objective: To explore the association between kinesiophobia, quality of life (QoL), pain, and physical function in people with FAI syndrome, and to compare the level of kinesiophobia between women and men with FAI syndrome., Methods: One-hundred-fifty participants with FAI syndrome (51% women) completed assessment of the following: kinesiophobia with the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia; patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) (pain, physical function, health- and hip-related QoL); physical function (side bridge, hop for distance, and one leg rise); and active hip range of motion (flexion, external rotation, internal rotation)., Results: Greater kinesiophobia was correlated with worse hip-related QoL (rho=-0.58; p<0.001), self-reported physical function (rho=-0.42; p<0.001), health-related QoL (rho=-0.46; p<0.001), and pain levels (rho=-0.46; p<0.001). In women, kinesiophobia was also associated with worse physical function (hop for distance r=-0.38; p=0.001 and side bridge rho=-0.24; p=0.036) explaining 36% of the variation of the hip-related QoL, 29% of the health-related QoL, and 27% of the self-reported physical function. In men, kinesiophobia explained 35%, 12%, and 10%, respectively., Conclusion: In people with FAI syndrome, greater kinesiophobia was associated with worse PROMs, but not with hip range of motion. No sex-related differences in mean kinesiophobia scores were found. In women, an association was found between kinesiophobia and worse performance in physical tests. These findings might indicate that kinesiophobia plays a more important role in the clinical presentation of women with FAI syndrome than men., Competing Interests: Conflicts of interest None to declare., (Copyright © 2022 Associação Brasileira de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação em Fisioterapia.

Background: Proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT) is a condition that occurs at all ages and levels of sporting participation. Presenting as localised lower buttock pain with tasks such as squatting and sitting, it can cause disability with sport, work and other activities of daily living. Recent research has investigated the effect of isometric exercise on pain and strength with a range of tendinopathies but there are no published studies on PHT. This protocol paper details a study investigating the effectiveness of isometric compared with isotonic exercise on pain and strength in people with PHT., Methods/design: The study is a prospective, cross-over randomised controlled trial (RCT). Twenty participants with PHT, recruited from the local community and sporting clubs will be recruited for the study. Participants will receive one session of isotonic hamstring strength exercises and one session of isometric hamstring exercise, with random allocation to the order of intervention.Primary outcomes will be hamstring strength measured with a dynamometer and pain with a functional task, assessed immediately following and 45 min after intervention. A secondary outcome will be pain with sitting assessed 24 hours after intervention.The effect of isotonic versus isometric exercise on hamstring pain and strength will be determined using a repeated measures linear mixed model. Further analyses will determine the proportion of patients with clinically important pain and strength improvements, using relative risks, χ 2 testing and number needed to treat., Discussion: This RCT protocol will investigate the effect of isometric compared with isotonic exercise for PHT., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2021.

Background: Achilles tendinopathy (AT) rehabilitation traditionally includes progressive tendon loading exercises. Recent evidence suggests a biopsychosocial approach that incorporates patient education on psychosocial factors and mechanisms of pain can reduce pain and disability in individuals with chronic pain. This is yet to be examined in individuals with AT., Objective: This study aims to compare the effects on movement-evoked pain and self-reported function of pain education as part of a biopsychosocial approach with pathoanatomical education for people with AT when combined with a progressive tendon loading exercise program., Methods: A single-site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be conducted in a university-based hospital in a laboratory setting and/or by telehealth. A total of 66 participants with chronic (>3 months) midportion or insertional AT will be randomized for the Tendinopathy Education of the Achilles (TEAch) study. All participants will complete progressive Achilles tendon loading exercises over 12 weeks and will be encouraged to continue with self-selected exercises as tolerated. All participants will complete 6-7 one-to-one sessions with a physical therapist to progress exercises in a standardized manner over 8 weeks. During the last 4 weeks of the intervention, participants will be encouraged to maintain their home exercise program. Participants will be randomized to 1 of 2 types of education (pain education or pathoanatomic), in addition to exercise. Pain education will focus on the biological and psychological mechanisms of pain within a biopsychosocial framing of AT. Pathoanatomic education will focus on biological processes within a more traditional biomedical framework of AT. Evaluation sessions will be completed at baseline and 8-week follow-up, and self-reported outcome measures will be completed at the 12-week follow-up. Both groups will complete progressive Achilles loading exercises in 4 phases throughout the 12 weeks and will be encouraged to continue with self-selected exercises as tolerated. Primary outcomes are movement-evoked pain during heel raises and self-reported function (patient-reported outcome measure information system-Physical Function). Secondary outcomes assess central nervous system nociceptive processing, psychological factors, motor function, and feasibility., Results: Institutional review board approval was obtained on April 15, 2019, and study funding began in July 2019. As of March 2020, we randomized 23 out of 66 participants. In September 2020, we screened 267 individuals, consented 68 participants, and randomized 51 participants. We anticipate completing the primary data analysis by March 2022., Conclusions: The TEAch study will evaluate the utility of pain education for those with AT and the effects of improved patient knowledge on pain, physical function, and clinical outcomes., International Registered Report Identifier (irrid): DERR1-10.2196/19111., (©Andrew A Post, Ebonie K Rio, Kathleen A Sluka, G Lorimer Moseley, Emine O Bayman, Mederic M Hall, Cesar de Cesar Netto, Jason M Wilken, Jessica F Danielson, Ruth Chimenti.
