Moniz, A; Duarte, ST; Aguiar, P; Caeiro, C; Pires, D; Fernandes, R; Moço, D; Marques, MM; Sousa, R; Canhão, H; Branco, J; Rodrigues, AM; Cruz, EBBackground: Recurrences of low back pain (LBP) are frequent and associated with high levels of disability and medical costs. Regular exercise practice may be an effective strategy to prevent recurrences of LBP, however, the promotion of this behaviour by physiotherapists seems to be challenging. This study aims to explore physiotherapists' perceived barriers and facilitators to the implementation of a behaviour...

Lopes, DG; Costa, D; Cruz, EB; Mendonça, N; Henriques, AR; Branco, J; Canhão, H; Rodrigues, AMHip and knee osteoarthritis (HKOA) is a chronic disease characterized by joint pain that leads to reduced physical function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). At present, no cure is available. Clinical trials indicate that people with HKOA benefit from physical activity in several health-related outcomes. However, few studies have evaluated the long-term positive effect of regular physical activity. Th...

Gomes, LA; Rodrigues, AM; Branco, JC; Canhão, H; Cruz, EBBackground: Low back pain (LBP) is a long-term health condition with distinct clinical courses. Its characterization together with the identification of prognostic factors for a persistent LBP course may trigger the development of personalized interventions. This study aimed to investigate the courses of chronic LBP (CLBP), its cumulative impact, and the indicators for the persistence of pain. Material and meth...
