COMMENTS

Include PEDro scale for the quality of the studies

AUTHOR ANSWER

Thank you for your suggestion

The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale is a specialized methodological assessment tool for RCT in physiotherapy therefore we decided that in our SRL we used RoB assessment that is dedicated to assess the risk of bias in RCTs both pararell and cross-over. RoB 2 is structured into a fixed set of domains of bias, focusing on different aspects of trial design, conduct, and reporting.
