Thirty-nine studies were included (25 experimental, 14 observational). Outcomes were heterogeneous, with 94 measures across studies: 23 included the ALSFRS or ALSFRS-R, and 16 included FVC. Most interventions targeted early-stage ALS (n\u2009=\u200927), limiting comparisons across stages. Multimodal training had moderate-quality evidence, with moderate effects on the ALSFRS-R (ES\u2009=\u20090.56 [95% CI\u2009=\u20090.09-1.03]), and low-quality evidence, with negligible effects on FVC (ES\u2009=\u2009\u22120.03 [95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22121.47 to 1.41]). Pulmonary interventions had moderate-quality evidence, with small effects on FVC (ES\u2009=\u20090.40 [95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.18 to 0.98]), and low-quality evidence, with negligible effects on the ALSFRS-R (ES\u2009=\u20090.04 [95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.25 to 0.33]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A range of physical therapist interventions for ALS were assessed, although most were early phase or low quality. Multimodal and pulmonary interventions showed modest benefits in the ALSFRS-R and FVC, respectively. However, variability in outcome measures and limited research beyond early-stage disease highlight the need for stage-specific trials using consistent functional outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
