TL;DR: This review aims to investigate the effect of footwear on gait, specifically focussing on studies that have assessed kinematics, kinetics and muscle activity between walking barefoot and in common footwear.

TL;DR: Understanding is developed of three important motor control issues--feedforward mechanisms, cortical plasticity and task-specificity and the implications for musculoskeletal practice and a model of control for the reach-to-grasp movement is illustrated.

TL;DR: Compared with UC, post-discharge SM support was more costly and resulted in better outcomes, but a modest improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was identified but this was possibly biased due to high loss to follow-up.

TL;DR: It is proposed that increased collaboration between neurological and musculoskeletal physiotherapists and researchers will facilitate new discoveries on the neurophysiological mechanisms underpinning sensorimotor changes in patients with musculOSkeletal dysfunction, which may lead to greater integration of strategies to enhance neuroplasticity in patients treated in physiotherapy practice.

TL;DR: Examination of factors that both encourage and limit participation in PA for individuals with COPD in a primary care setting from the perspective of social cognitive theory found barriers and enablers closely related to self-efficacy beliefs and symptom severity.
