The Inaugural IJSPT and OSET Research Symposium: 2021 Abstracts.
WHAT IT FOUND
This document is a collection of conference abstracts, not a single study.
It summarizes varied findings, such as dry needling adding no benefit to hip strengthening in runners, while visual biofeedback increased quadriceps activation more than verbal cues.
Key findings
01In runners, adding dry needling to a hip strengthening program did not result in a significant difference in strength or function compared to sham dry needling.
02During quadriceps setting exercises, visual biofeedback and external cues like pressing into a strap produced significantly greater muscle activation than internal cues.

What it does not show
This is a compilation of abstracts from a research symposium, so it lacks the full methods, data analysis, and discussion sections required to critically appraise any individual study. The content covers a wide range of topics and study designs, preventing a cohesive conclusion or single clinical recommendation.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat this document as a single research study with a unified conclusion. It is a collection of abstracts from different presentations, and the findings listed are not connected or comparable.
