“…The quality of all the studies was evaluated with the Cochrane assessment tool. 90% of all studies had a low risk of selective reporting bias (Christakou & Zervas, ; Cupal & Brewer, ; Hoyek, Di Rienzo, Collet, Hoyek, & Guillot, ; Lebon, Guillot, & Collet, ; Mahmoud, ; Moseley, ; Nobusako, Matsuo, & Morioka, ; Park, Song, & Kim, ; Villafañe et al, , ) and only one study had high risk of selection bias (Villafañe et al, ). The domain with the highest percentage of studies (70%) with high risk of bias was the blinding of participants and personnel (performance bias; Christakou & Zervas, ; Cupal & Brewer, ; Hoyek et al, ; Moseley, ; Nobusako et al, ; Park et al, ; Villafañe et al, ).…”

“…The total number of participants was 227. Knee surgery was the complaint of participants in six studies (Cupal & Brewer, ; Lebon et al, ; Mahmoud, ; Moukarzel et al, ; Park et al, ; Villafañe et al, ) and one was hip surgery (Villafañe et al, ). In three studies the participants were diagnosed with chronic pain (Hoyek et al, ; Moseley, ; Nobusako et al, ).…”

Background and Objective:Movement representation techniques such as motor imagery (MI) and action observation (AO) could play an important role in the field of rehabilitation of patients with musculoskeletal pain; however, the effects of these tools on clinical pain remain unclear. Our objective is therefore to develop a systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of MI and AO regarding the pain intensity on patients with musculoskeletal pain. Databases and Data Treatment: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and Google Scholar were searched. Last search was run on July 2019. Meta-analysis was conducted to determine the effectiveness on pain intensity in patients with post-surgical pain or chronic pain, and GRADE was used to rate the quality, certainty and applicability of the evidence. Results: A total of 10 studies were included. AO or MI were compared versus usual rehabilitation care. The meta-analysis showed statistically significant differences in MI and AO interventions in patients with pain after surgery in six studies, with a large clinical effect (n = 124; SMD = −0.84; 95% CI: −1.47 to −0.21). In patients with chronic pain, results showed statistically significant differences in MI and AO interventions in three studies, with a large clinical effect (n = 83; SMD = −2.14; 95% CI: −3.81 to −0.47). Risk of bias, imprecision and inconsistency decreased the GRADE level of evidence.Conclusions: There was very low-quality evidence regarding the effects of movement representation techniques intervention (AO and MI) on pain intensity in patients with post-surgical pain. In addition, there was very low-quality evidence regarding the effects of MI and AO interventions on chronic pain. Significance: Movement representation techniques in combination with usual care are capable of producing a decrease in pain intensity compared with conventional treatment, in both post-surgical and chronic pain. However, the very low-quality evidence found regarding these techniques showed that more research is needed for their application in a clinical context.

“…To date, a large amount of evidence has demonstrated that AOT can enhance the beneficial effects of physiotherapy by reinforcing high-level brain networks involved in motor planning and execution, by promoting imitation learning and motor control relearning [ 13 , 18 ] in the elderly [ 19 ] and in patients with orthopaedic [ 20 ] and neurological diseases [ 21 ].…”

Effect of Group-Based Rehabilitation Combining Action Observation with Physiotherapy on Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s Disease

et al. 2018

Freezing of gait (FoG) is among the most disabling symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. Recent studies showed that action observation training (AOT) with repetitive practice of the observed actions represents a strategy to induce longer-lasting effects compared with standard physiotherapy. We investigated whether AOT may improve FoG and mobility in PD, when AOT is applied in a group-based setting. Sixty-four participants with PD and FoG were assigned to the experimental (AO) or control groups and underwent a 45-minute training session, twice a week, for 5 weeks. AOT consisted in physical training combined with action observation whereas the control group executed the same physical training combined with landscape-videos observation. Outcome measures (FoG questionnaire, Timed Up and Go test, 10-meter walking test, and Berg balance scale) were evaluated before training, at the end of training, and 4 weeks later (FU-4w). Both groups showed positive changes in all outcome measures at posttraining assessment. Improvements in FoG questionnaire, Timed Up and Go test, and Berg balance scale were retained at FU-4w evaluation only in the AOT group. AOT group-based training is feasible and effective on FoG and motor performance in PD patients and may be introduced as an adjunctive option in PD rehabilitation program.

“…After this, the PT applied passive end-range motion and stretched the knee connective tissues without causing pain. Then, the patients were submitted to strengthening exercises addressed to the knee extensors, hip lateral rotators and abductors (Rabelo et al, 2014; Villafañe et al, 2017).…”

The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effects of strength training of the knee muscles on perceived pain and static knee angles in young subjects with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Ten patients, 100% female (mean age, 18.2±3.8 years), with unilateral PFPS (anterior knee pain for at least 3 months), received muscle strengthening of the hip and knee (10 sessions over a period of 3 weeks). The outcome measures were perceived pain (visual analogue scale, VAS) and static knee angles (knee rotation measurer). All measures were collected at pre-, postintervention, and at 1-month follow-up (VAS). Muscle strengthening reduced perceived pain after intervention in 90.8% in subjects and this result was maintained at 1-month follow-up (all, P =0.001). Regarding changes in static knee angles, no significant improvements were found in internal and external rotation; valgus and varus; flexion and recurvatum (all, P >0.05). There was no significant difference between the symptomatic and healthy sides (all, P >0.05). Analyses of the correlation coefficients indicated no significant associations between changes in perceived pain and static knee angles. The current study found that muscle strengthening addressed to the symptomatic knee reduced pain; however, perceived pain was not associated with static knee angles in young subjects with unilateral PFPS.
