Assessing Gait Speed Reserve (GSR) provides a simple, objective way to identify reduced walking adaptability and functional capacity in individuals with LBP. Reduced GSR may represent an early functional limitation that is not captured by pain or psychological measures alone.

Nearly 40% of individuals with autoimmune rheumatic diseases are underserved for PT. Despite meeting criteria for at least moderate pain or function impairment, they were one-third as likely to ever utilize PT compared to individuals with non-autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Race did not moderate the relationship between SES and walking performance in this group of people post-stroke. Current literature and findings suggest that structured interventions with participant-support may lessen disparities typically observed in stroke recovery.

This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of a DPT student-delivered SAM program for individuals with chronic stroke. Students effectively implemented the program in the local community and reported meaningful professional growth.

This pilot study provides a framework for a step activity monitoring behavioral intervention by PT-advised volunteers in a non-clinical environment. Interventions like this could provide increased reach for community-based guided walking programs for those with chronic stroke.

Walking Speed Reserve is essential for navigating real-world gait demands. Cognitive function may influence the ability to modulate walking speed after stroke.

After lower-limb amputation, clinicians should consider coupled assessment of hip and spinal musculature; isolated assessment appears to ignore an apparent decoupling in the presence of low back pain.

Hip flexor size provides unique insight into future physical function beyond hip flexion strength in older adults with chronic low back pain.

Frailty is classified using the Fried frailty index, which uses markers that may also be affected by Lower limb loss. This study compared classification using the FFI vs population specific cut-points, as well as the use of the PLUS-M to determine if patients should be screened.

Physical activity preferences vary in autistic adults versus children, hence, effective physical activity promotion for autistic individuals must be preference-driven, flexible, and individualized rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

While no relationship was seen in healthy controls, individuals with Achilles tendinopathy with greater heel rise endurance spent less of each stride in stance and had faster self-selected gait speeds.

Sex does NOT moderate predictors of recovery in midportion Achilles tendinopathy. Worse kinesiophobia, foot and ankle related quality of life, heel rise work deficits, and symptoms at baseline predicted greater improvement at 16 weeks with Silbernagel protocol.

Prediabetes risk mediates the relationship between tendon structure and lower extremity function in those with Achilles tendinopathy. This work highlights that metabolic health is important to consider during treatment for this injury.
