Objectives Clinical research is the bedrock of clinical innovation, education and practice. We characterized and critically appraised physiotherapy clinical research to avoid implementing misleading research findings into practice and to task the Nigerian physiotherapy societies on responsible conduct of clinical research. Methods This is a systematic review of articles published in English between 2009 and 2021. We searched Pubmed, Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Academic Search Complete, PsycINFO and African Journal Online, and reference lists of relevant articles. Data were selected and extracted according to predesigned eligibility criteria and using a standardized data extraction table. Where appropriate, the Pedro and Cochrane ROBINS1 were used to examine the risk of bias. Results Of the clinical experiments, the randomized controlled trial (RCT) was the most common design (87.5%). Musculoskeletal conditions (39.3%) were the most studied disorder. Most of the studies (76.8%) were of suboptimal quality. Interventions constituted exercise therapy (76.3%), manual therapy (8.5%) and electrotherapy (8.5%). More than half (67.8%) of the studies recorded medium to large effect sizes. A fair proportion (48.2%) of the studies had a confounding-by-indication bias. A few studies conducted normality tests (10.9%) and intention-to-treat analysis (37.5%). Discussion Of the clinical research, the volume of clinical experiments in the Nigeria Physiotherapy research community is small; notwithstanding, RCT is the most frequent clinical experiment. Physiotherapy interventions especially exercise appears effective, although incongruence between effect size and study quality limits inference. Sources of bias include absent/inadequate covariate analysis, blinding and intention-to-treat analysis approach. Registration: We registered the protocol with PROSPERO. The registration number: CRD42021228514.

Low back pain (LBP) is a common clinical problem imposing a prominent socio-economic burden. The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the biopsychosocial effects of the Mulligan Concept (MC) of manual therapy (MT) when applied to patient's with LBP. Three researchers independently evaluated the literature quality, and completed a review on five online databases (Medline, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, ProQuest and Google Scholar) for articles published from January 1st 2010 to November 20th 2021, using a combination of free words, Wildcards and Medical Subject Headings (MESH) terms: " Mulligan mobilization " AND " back pain " OR " SNAGs." In total, 62 studies were selected for full-text reading, from which finally 6 studies were included in the present review. The results revealed that the studies where the MC of MT was applied to treat LBP mainly lacked concern regarding the effect that the intervention has on the cognitive and behavioural parameters. The ones that introduced measure outcomes for at least some parts of the cognitive behavioural components, showed that the MC has a positive effect, even though without a long-term follow-up assessment. This review summarized that the evidence of the MC on cognitive behavioural (CB) aspects of patients with LBP is controversial and scarce.
