Purpose Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) are painful, chronic multi-systemic conditions. No online pain management programs for hEDS/HSD currently exist. We aimed to develop one by exploring what people with want in such programs.
Background: Spinal cord injury and stroke are neurological disorders that lead to aerobic deconditioning increased likelihood of cardiovascular disease. Sessions at least 20 minutes moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise is recommended but decreased mobility limits engagement in such exercise. The aim the study was assess whether individuals can achieve recommendations with assistance an end-effector robot assisted gait trainer (E-RAGT). Methods: We conducted observational during which...
ABSTRACT Repetitive and prolonged experience of pain by infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) may adversely affect growth alter responses. The degree infant prematurity and/or presence neurological impairment (NI) impact an infant's ability to behaviorally respond pain. This study aimed determine whether the scores on mPAT, a widely used assessment tool, is impacted postmenstrual age (PMA) at assessment, irrespective impairment. Data from medical records were collected admitted...
ABSTRACT Introduction The Hypermobile Online Pain managemEnt (HOPE) programme is a stakeholder informed intervention adopting the biopsychosocial pain approach, specifically for people with hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) experiencing pain. topics included were based on modified Delphi of large sample stakeholders: hEDS/HSD healthcare practitioners who are experienced managing these conditions. Programme feasibility, acceptability...
ABSTRACT Background Feasibility and effectiveness of online pain management programs for chronic widespread conditions have been shown; yet, there are no empirically evaluated hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS) or hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD). Bridging this gap, the Hypermobile Online Pain managemEnt (HOPE) program was developed with stakeholder input to be pilot tested. Methods We conducted a randomised controlled trial HOPE assess Intervention Measure (FIM), Acceptability...
Background and Purpose. Simulation-based learning is commonly used in physical therapy education. However, given the financial cost resources required to provide high-fidelity simulation (HFS)-based learning, it necessary determine its effectiveness. Therefore, purpose of this study was investigate effect HFS-based using computerized mannequins on clinical performance preparedness students therapists acute cardiorespiratory therapy. Methods. We undertook a mixed-methods systematic review...
To define and validate types of pain in critically ill neonates infants by researchers clinicians working the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) high dependency (HDU).
Objective: The objective of the study was to explore and then validate factor structure Pain Assessment Tool (PAT). Materials Methods: A retrospective medical record review performed all infants who were admitted a neonatal intensive care unit between 2008 2018 had 1 PAT assessment (n=2111). Scores on items collected. Infants randomized either principal component analysis (n=1100) or confirmatory (n=1011). Results: in 2 samples demographically comparable. 2-factor model, consisting factors...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the use and useability of Physiotherapy Evidence Database's ‘Evidence in your inbox’ e‐mail alert service. Materials Methods An explanatory sequential design consisting a usage evaluation, cross‐sectional survey, semi‐structured interviews. Usage was evaluated using routinely collected data from October 2015 to March 2021: number subscribers, articles, open rates, click‐through rates. Subscribers were subdivided by level engagement. All subscribers invited...
(1) Background: Schroth is a type of physiotherapeutic scoliosis specific exercise (PSSE) prescribed to adolescents with idiopathic (AIS). Studies have investigated the effectiveness but are yet elucidate how applied clinically and factors that influence their prescription. (2) Methods: A mixed methods design was used comprising an anonymous survey semi-structured interviews therapists who treated AIS were publicly listed on Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School or International...
Purpose: The transition for allied health graduates from university to the workforce has been perceived be difficult and overwhelming, leading early attrition within healthcare professions. Work readiness is a crucial aspect of successful workforce, however, elements work are not clearly defined. purpose this project was refine measurement work-readiness in graduates. Method: A 62-item Readiness Scale Allied Health Professionals (WRS-AH), based on scale generic population graduates,...
Abstract Background The aim of this study was (a) to statistically identify distinct trajectories pain following surgery in infants less than 6 months age, and (b) compare these descriptions chronic the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods This a retrospective medical record review admitted NICU between 2008 2018 surgery. All who underwent one major procedure abdomen or thorax returned were included. Pain assessed regularly using validated Assessment Tool. Group‐based trajectory...

Introduction. Validly and reliably assessing conceptual change is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of pain science education physiotherapy students. We aimed to 1) evaluate concept before after a 14-week university subject, 2) assess structural validity Concept Pain Inventory Adults (COPI-Adult) in postgraduate entry-level students, 3) explore possible relationships between baseline variables COPI-Adult scores. Review Literature. As newly developed questionnaire, there lack data...
Abstract Objective The objective was to determine the validity of Targeted Motor Control (TMC) screening tool with Neurosensory Developmental Assessment (NSMDA) in 4-year-old children. Methods In this single cohort observational study, children (3 years 9 months 4 5 months) completed TMC and NSMDA a randomized order 14 days apart. Results Seventy-six (mean age = 2 months; standard deviation 2.5 n 35 male) both assessments. Forty-two performed within normal range on NSMDA. There were...
