A single intraarticular platelet-rich plasma improves pain and function for patients with early knee osteoarthritis: Analyses by radiographic severity and age.
Most studies use platelet-rich plasma (PRP) requiring multiple intraarticular injections for knee osteoarthritis (OA). ⋯ One injection of PRP improved pain and function for 6 months for patients with early knee OA. This study supports putting the one-injection regimen into clinical practice. Further research is needed for more definite conclusions.

Arabic version of the Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire: Translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and psychometric properties.
The Back Pain Attitudes Questionnaire (Back-PAQ) is a tool developed for the assessment of attitudes about back pain. However, this tool is not available in the Arabic language. The availability of the Arabic version of the questionnaire will enable clinicians and researchers in Arabic-speaking countries to assess patients' attitudes towards back pain. ⋯ The Arabic version of the Back-PAQ has adequate validity and reliability properties.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffects of oscillatory mobilization as compared to sustained stretch mobilization in the management of cervical radiculopathy: A randomized controlled trial.
Cervical radiculopathy is a relatively common musculoskeletal disorder resulting in a significant social and occupational impact. Manual therapy is thought to provide relief in cervical radiculopathy; however, evidence is lacking regarding the comparison of different manual therapy concepts. ⋯ Both oscillatory and sustained stretch mobilization techniques are found to be effective in the management of cervical radiculopathy in terms of pain, range and disability. However, oscillatory mobilization is found to be superior in terms of functional ability and range of motion.

Responsiveness of the Turkish KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS in knee and hip joint arthroplasty patients.
Adaptation to Turkish language and validation studies of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - Physical Function Short Form (KOOS-PS) and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score - Physical Function Short Form (HOOS-PS) were done previously but responsiveness to changes of these questionnaires could not be tested in these studies. ⋯ The Turkish versions of the KOOS-PS and HOOS-PS exhibited strong responsiveness to change in the arthroplasty patients.

Analysis of the association between selected factors and outcomes of treadmill gait training with biofeedback in patients with chronic stroke.
To examine the effects of age, time from stroke onset, gender and side of paresis in gait re-education with the use of treadmill with biofeedback, in patients with chronic stroke. ⋯ Age, duration of time from stroke onset, and sex do not affect outcomes of gait re-education based on treadmill training in patients at a chronic stage post-stroke and Brunnstrom recovery stage 3-4. Side of paresis significantly differentiates rehabilitation outcomes measured with speed test. The best scores in all the performance measures before rehabilitation were identified in the group 3-6 years after stroke.
