“…With regard to risk of bias, items 2 and 3 are related to selection bias, items 5 and 6 to performance bias and item 7 to detection bias. A recent study of Berardi et al 39 has reported that the PEDro checklist presents excellent construct validity, good accuracy and test–retest reliability.…”

BackgroundDual‐task training (DTT) involves simultaneously motor and cognitive exercises.ObjectivesTo determine the effectiveness of DTT, in comparison to other interventions [single‐task training (STT) and usual care (UC)], on gait and balance parameters, motor impairments, activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life (QoL) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) immediately post‐intervention and at 3, 6, and 12 months after therapy.MethodsA meta‐analysis was performed following PRISMA Guidelines through searching in PubMed, SCOPUS, WOS, CINAHL, SciELO and PEDro up to September 2022. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compare the effect of DTT versus STT and UC on gait (speed, step and stride length, cadence and steps per day), balance (functional and dynamic balance), motor impairments, ADLs and QoL. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale. The pooled effect was calculated through Cohen's Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) and its 95% confidence interval (95%CI).ResultsSeventeen RCTs with 826 participants and a mean PEDro score of 6.59 ± 1 points were included. In comparison to STT and UC, DTT is effective in improving walking speed (SMD 0.42, 95%CI 0.23–0.6), stride length (SMD 0.69, 95%CI 0.23–1.15), cadence (SMD 0.41, 95%CI 0.19–0.63), functional balance (SMD 1.15, 95%CI 0.92–1.4), dynamic balance (SMD −0.5, 95%CI −0.81 to −0.18) and motor impairments (SMD −0.86, 95%CI −1.25 to −0.47). No adverse effects related to DTT were reported.ConclusionsDTT is an effective and safe therapy for improving gait, balance and motor impairments in patients with PD.

“…The Jadad scale, Pedro scale and Risk of bias 2 tool were applied to each of the included studies; a table of risk of bias is included in the published review, with evidence to support each judgment. The authors did not use the Jadad scale and Pedro scale for non-randomized study designs because these tools are used to assess the methodological quality of RCTs; instead, they assessed the evidence’s validity as part of the interpretation of results [ 12 , 13 ].…”

Background: Conservative therapy is currently the elective treatment for peripheric facial palsy according to scientific literature. The success of conservative therapy is due to physiotherapy and the application of its methods. The aim of this systematic review was to assess mirror therapy, a physiotherapeutic method. Objectives: The aim of the following systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of using mirror therapy in patients with peripheral paralysis of the seventh cranial nerve. Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The screening of literature was carried out on Cochrane, PEDro, PubMed/Medline, Scopus and Web of Science databases up until August 2022. All studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and 5 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in this study. The risk of bias was evaluated with PEDro and Jadad scales. Discussion: In the present study, we reviewed 5 RCTs that compared mirror therapy with other physiotherapy treatments or placebo to reduce pain, depression and improve range of motion in patients with peripheric facial nerve palsy. Conclusions: Further studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of this type of treatment, but nevertheless the data obtained are very encouraging.
