Abstract Background: Preterm infants have a low level of bone mineralization compared to those born at term, since 80% of calcium incorporation occurs at the end of pregnancy. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of reflex locomotion therapy on bone modeling and growth in preterm infants and to compare its effect with those of other Physiotherapy modalities.Methods: A multicentre randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted (02/2016 – 07/2020). 106 preterm infants born at the Virgen de la Arrixaca University Clinical Hospital, the General University Hospital of Elche and the Torrecárdenas Hospital in Almería, between 29 and 34 weeks with hemodynamic stability, complete enteral nutrition and without any metabolic, congenital, genetic, neurological or respiratory disorders were evaluated for inclusion. Infants were randomly assigned to three groups: one group received reflex locomotion therapy (EGrlt); another group received passive mobilizations with gentle joint compression (EGpmc); and the control group received massage (CG). All treatments were carried out in the neonatal units lasting one month. The main outcome measure was bone formation and resorption measured with bone biomarkers. A mixed ANOVA was used to compare the results of bone biomarkers, and anthropometric measurements. Results: Infants were randomized to EGrlt (n = 38), EGpmc (n = 32), and CG (n = 36). All groups were similar in terms of gender (p = 0.891 female 47.2%), gestational age (M = 30.753, SD = 1.878, p = 0.39) and birth weight (M = 1413.45, SD = 347.36, p = 0.157). At the end of the study, significant differences were found between the groups in their interaction in bone formation, measured with osteocalcin [F (2,35) = 4.92, p = 0.013, ηp2 = 0.043], in benefit of the EGrlt. Conclusions: Reflex locomotion therapy has been effective in improving bone formation, more so than other Physiotherapy modalities. Therefore, reflex locomotion therapy could be considered one of the most effective physiotherapeutic modalities for the prevention and treatment of osteopenia of prematurity Trial registrstion: Trial retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov.

Objective: Evaluate the effectiveness of manual therapy and exercises for improving function and/or pain in patients diagnosed with temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD) through a systematic review of the literature. Methods: A systematic and manual electronic search of the data was performed in the following databases: MEDLINE-Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus (until 2020). The following descriptors were used: "physiotherapy", "physiotherapy modalities", "physiotherapy specialty", "manual therapy", "massage", "exercise", "temporomandibular joint", "temporomandibular disorder", "temporomandibular joint", "disc "," Previous Disc Displacement "," Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial "," Controlled Clinical Trial "," Effectiveness "," Effect "and" Effectiveness ". As an inclusion, studies should present patients with joint pain diagnosed by the Diagnostic Criteria for Research on TMD (RDC / TMD) and manual therapy as an intervention. Results: Only 1 randomized controlled clinical trial was included in the inclusion criteria. Physical therapy manual exercises, despite promoting significant improvement in all studied variables, did not represent an additional positive effect in relation to the instruction and guidance given to patients with unrestricted articular disc displacement. Manual physical therapy and physical therapy exercises, despite while promoted a significant improvement in all the studied variables, did not represent an additional positive effect in relation to the instruction and orientation given to patients with joint disc displacement without reduction. Conclusions: Weak supporting evidence regarding the use of these approaches in patients with joint TMD was found, revealing the need to conduct new studies with methodologies well delineated and higher level of evidence.
