Abstract:

The provision of physiotherapy via general practitioner (GP) ‘direct access’ arrangements or in primary care itself has become increasingly common in the UK. Evidence on the economics and the cost-effectiveness of alternative methods of organizing access to physiotherapy services is reviewed, and the likely impacts of different organizational models are discussed. GP direct access physiotherapy and primary care provision appear to have a lower average cost than consultant access physiotherapy models, while GP direct access appears to minimize health care resource use per patient. Primary care physiotherapy provision appears to minimize the costs to patients of seeking care, and appears to generate a greater demand for service than other models. The extent to which physiotherapy provision in primary care can substitute for physiotherapy and other resources in the hospital sector is discussed, as is the extent to which patients may benefit from receiving physiotherapy in primary care. It is argued that continued expansion of access to physiotherapy should be critically appraised, and its ability to improve health status compared with that achievable in alternative patient groups who might benefit from physiotherapy in hospital or rehabilitation settings.

Abstract:

Objectives To describe spinal pain patients referred by their treating general practitioners to physiotherapy care, examine to which extent physiotherapy interventions proposed by general practitioners and physiotherapists were compliant to evidence based recommendations, and evaluate concordance between providers in terms of diagnosis and contraindications to physiotherapy interventions. Methods This study included spinal pain patients recruited from a random sample of sixty French physiotherapists. Physiotherapists were asked to supply patients’ physiotherapy records and characteristics from the general practitioner’s physiotherapy referral for the five new consecutive patients referred to physiotherapy. General practitioner’s physiotherapy referral and physiotherapists’ clinical findings characteristics were analyzed and compared to evidence-based recommendations using Chi-squared tests. Cohen’s kappas were calculated for diagnosis and contraindications to physiotherapy interventions. Results Three hundred patients with spinal pain were included from sixty physiotherapists across France. The mean age of the patients was 48.0 ± 7.2 years and 53% were female. The most common spinal pain was low back pain (n = 147). Diagnoses or reason of referral formulated by general practitioners were present for 27% of all patients (n = 82). Compared to general practitioners, physiotherapists recommended significantly more frequently recommended interventions such as education, spinal exercises or manual therapy. General practitioners prescribed significantly more frequently passive physiotherapy approaches such as massage therapy and electrotherapy. The overall proportion of agreement beyond chance for identification of a diagnosis or reason of referral was 41% with a weak concordance (κ = 0.19; 95%CI: 0.08–0.31). The overall proportion of compliant physiotherapists was significantly higher than for general practitioners (76.7% vs 47.0%; p<0.001). Conclusions We found that information required for the referral of spinal pain patients to physiotherapy is often incomplete. The majority of general practitioners did not conform to evidence-based recommendations in terms of prescribed specific physiotherapy care; in contrast to a majority of physiotherapists.

Abstract:

Background: Neonatal intensive care unit, being a specially equipped area for critically ill and unstable newborns, requires a variety of healthcare professionals with expertise in neonatal care including a physiotherapist. The ongoing pandemic (COVID-19) has dramatically changed healthcare services and systems including neonatal intensive care units. Aim and Objective: The study’s objective was to investigate current cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular physiotherapy practices in the neonatal intensive care unit. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted by sending a validated questionnaire to 250 physiotherapists of different cities across Gujarat through an online survey platform. The link to the survey was sent using various social networking sites such as E-mail, WhatsApp and Facebook. Results: Currently, only 43.2% of physiotherapists are practicing in the neonatal intensive care unit. Out of which 80% of physiotherapists carry out only conventional chest physiotherapy and neuromuscular physiotherapy. Conclusion: At present less than 50% of physiotherapists are involved in practicing in the neonatal intensive care unit. Scarcity of knowledge, as well as the practice of many potent cardiopulmonary and neuromuscular physiotherapy interventions, is present currently. Key words: neonatal intensive care unit, chest physiotherapy, neuromuscular physiotherapy, online survey, Gujarat.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Physiotherapy Quality of Care Project was a project of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, sponsored by the Canadian government to ensure the quality of physiotherapy. A consensus committee of physiotherapy educators and managers developed and tested an instrument to measure changes in patients' functional status during physiotherapy. Despite scientific development and wide distribution, this technology was not adopted. Alternative methods, which were heavily marketed, gained nationwide use instead.

Abstract:

ObjectivePhysiotherapists commonly provide non-surgical care for people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). It is unknown if patients are receiving high-quality physiotherapy care for their knee OA. This study aimed to explore the experiences of people who had recently received physiotherapy care for their knee OA in Australia and how these experiences aligned with the national Clinical Care Standard for knee OA.DesignQualitative study using semistructured individual telephone interviews and thematic analysis, where themes/subthemes were inductively derived. Questions were informed by seven quality statements of the OA of the Knee Clinical Care Standard. Interview data were also deductively analysed according to the Standard.SettingParticipants were recruited from around Australia via Facebook and our research volunteer database.ParticipantsInterviews were conducted with 24 people with recent experience receiving physiotherapy care for their knee OA. They were required to be aged 45 years or above, had activity-related knee pain and any knee-related morning stiffness lasted no longer than 30 min. Participants were excluded if they had self-reported inflammatory arthritis and/or had undergone knee replacement surgery for the affected knee.ResultsSix themes emerged: (1) presented with a pre-existing OA diagnosis (prior OA care from other health professionals; perception of adequate OA knowledge); (2) wide variation in access and provision of physiotherapy care (referral pathways; funding models; individual vs group sessions); (3) seeking physiotherapy care for pain and functional limitations (knee symptoms; functional problems); (4) physiotherapy management focused on function and exercise (assessment of function; various types of exercises prescribed; surgery, medications and injections are for doctors; adjunctive treatments); (5) professional and personalised care (trust and/or confidence; personalised care) and (6) physiotherapy to postpone or prepare for surgery.ConclusionPatients’ experiences with receiving physiotherapy care for their knee OA were partly aligned with the standard, particularly regarding comprehensive assessment, self-management, and exercise.

Abstract:

Background: Respiratory physiotherapy is a treatment option that addresses secretory elimination and promotes airway clearance, hence reducing breathing workload, promoting lung expansion, and preventing collapse. Most respiratory disorders benefit from chest physiotherapy as an adjuvant treatment, including COPD, bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis, as well as neuromuscular diseases and peri-operative care, particularly in upper abdominal procedures. The goal of the study is to see how effective the intervention program was in altering the nursing staff's practices of physiotherapy protocol in intensive care unit. Methods: Pre-experimental (one group pre-test- post-test) design was carried out about physiotherapy protocol at an intensive care unit at AL-Nasiriyah Heart Center and AL-Nasiriyah General Hospital in AL-Nasiriyah city. The sample was non-probability (purposive). The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and SPSS. Results: Statistically significant improvements (pre-test 38.9 %, post-test 84.64%) of nurses’ knowledge and practice of physiotherapy after the educational program. Conclusion: interventional program has a positive effect for increasing nurses' knowledge and practice of physical therapy protocol. The Application of physiotherapy guidelines issued by the American Association of Respiratory Care’s (AARC) and more studies should be done of the physiotherapy protocol in the intensive care unit.

Abstract:

Physiotherapy is a health care profession. Physiotherapy plays a significant role in all levels of health. Interaction between various disciplines of medicine within a health care team is becoming recognized more and more as an effective method of improving the delivery of health care services. In order to achieve interdisciplinary teamwork, members of the health care team need to understand and respect each other’s professional abilities. It was aimed to find out the extent of knowledge about physiotherapy services among medical sciences students and to analyze the current level of awareness. 249 student’s participants were involved in the study using convenient sampling from SGT University. Students were involved from four different department viz. MBBS, BDS, BAMS, Nursing. Every student fills the structured questionnaire in the prescribed format. The data collected was analyzed by using frequency and percentage in Microsoft 2007. The respondents displayed that 63% of healthcare profession students had ‘Good’ awareness and 61% had ‘Good’ knowledge about physiotherapy. The study concluded that there is a good awareness and knowledge among health care profession students about physiotherapy. Lack of knowledge and awareness was also found which can be improved by educating them on different direction of physiotherapy to the students of health care profession. Among all the profession MBBS and BDS students are slightly more aware and have more knowledge regarding physiotherapy profession.

Abstract:

Aim Integrated multidisciplinary primary healthcare is still in a relatively early stage of development in Ireland, with significant restructuring occurring in the past decade. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy services traditionally provided in acute hospital settings have been relocated into the primary care setting where the physiotherapist works as part of the multidisciplinary team. This study aimed to explore physiotherapy managers’ experiences of managing musculoskeletal physiotherapy services in primary care to gain an insight into the opportunities and challenges in service delivery, changing roles and ongoing professional development needs of staff. Participants Qualitative design using semi-structured interviews with primary care physiotherapy managers in the Republic of Ireland was employed. Results Five interviews took in a mix of rural and urban areas nationally. The relationship with the GP was an important one in musculoskeletal physiotherapy services in primary care. Physiotherapists were well skilled but opportunities for professional and career development were restricted. Methods of optimising resources in the face of staffing restrictions were identified. Whilst there were many examples of innovations in service delivery, various barriers negatively impacted on optimal service including resource constraints and national strategy. Conclusions A number of factors that impact on musculoskeletal service delivery in primary care from the perspective of physiotherapy managers were identified in this study. Future research should explore the views of other stakeholders to provide a more thorough understanding of the relevant issues affecting musculoskeletal physiotherapy service provision in primary care in Ireland.

Abstract:

Background: Despite the established benefits of physiotherapy in oncology care, there remains a substantial gap in the awareness and utilization of rehabilitation services among cancer patients. The role of physiotherapy in improving the quality of life and functional independence of cancer survivors is well-documented, yet the integration of these services into standard cancer care protocols is not uniformly practiced. Objective: This study aimed to assess the level of awareness and the barriers to physiotherapy among oncology patients in a tertiary care hospital, with an emphasis on understanding the gender-specific differences in awareness and interest in physiotherapy services. Methods: A six-month cross-sectional survey was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Sindh, employing a non-probability convenience sampling technique to recruit 318 participants. The sample size was determined using Raosoft sampling software, with a 95% confidence level, 5% margin of error, and 50% response distribution. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires, focusing on patients' awareness of and interest in physiotherapy, and analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, with chi-square tests applied to assess statistical significance. Results: The study found that only 17.3% of participants were aware of physiotherapy services, with significant gender differences in awareness (p=0.013) and interest (p=0.326) observed. Barriers to physiotherapy utilization included pain (91.5%), fatigue (90.6%), and financial constraints (78.9%). A stark 84.6% of patients reported not being informed about physiotherapy during their treatment. Conclusion: The low level of awareness and significant barriers to accessing physiotherapy among cancer patients highlight the critical need for enhanced educational programs and improved communication between oncology and rehabilitation professionals. Addressing these gaps is essential for integrating physiotherapy into cancer care, thereby improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Abstract:

Critical care is the branch of medicine that deals with the treatment of patients whose ailments are life-threatening and necessitate round-the-clock attention and monitoring, usually in intensive care units [ICUs]. In the ICU or for critically ill patients, physiotherapy is regarded as an indispensable intervention that prevents and mitigates the negative consequences of prolonged bed rest and mechanical ventilation. It uses a wide range of therapeutic strategies to encourage early mobilization and discharge. Minimizing functional decline due to prolonged immobilization requires early progressive physiotherapy. Early mobilization strategies in adjunct to chest physiotherapy are deemed to be safe and feasible. In developing nations like India, physiotherapists are still primarily responsible for preventing and managing pulmonary problems in ventilated and other critically ill patients. The purpose of this review article is to accentuate the role of a physiotherapist in the care of ICU patients, as well as existing research evidence pertaining to the physiological consequences and effectiveness of various physiotherapy approaches that can be safely administered to the patients early on for a better and faster recovery. KEY WORDS: Intensive care unit, Physiotherapy, Early mobilization strategies, Chest physiotherapy.

Abstract:

Background Advanced sensor, measurement, and analytics technologies are enabling entirely new ways to deliver health care. The increased availability of digital data can be used for data-driven personalization of care. Data-driven personalization can complement expert-driven personalization by providing support for decision making or even by automating some parts of decision making in relation to the care process. Objective The aim of this study was to analyze how digital data acquired from posture scanning can enhance physiotherapy services and enable more personalized delivery of physiotherapy. Methods A case study was conducted with a company that designed a posture scan recording system (PSRS), which is an information system that can digitally record, measure, and report human movement for use in physiotherapy. Data were collected through interviews with different stakeholders, such as health care professionals, health care users, and the information system provider, and were analyzed thematically. Results Based on the results of our thematic analysis, we propose three different types of support that posture scanning data can provide to enhance and enable more personalized delivery of physiotherapy: 1) modeling the condition, in which the posture scanning data are used to detect and understand the health care user’s condition and the root cause of the possible pain; 2) visualization for shared understanding, in which the posture scanning data are used to provide information to the health care user and involve them in more collaborative decision-making regarding their care; and 3) evaluating the impact of the intervention, in which the posture scanning data are used to evaluate the care progress and impact of the intervention. Conclusions The adoption of digital tools in physiotherapy has remained low. Physiotherapy has also lacked digital tools and means to inform and involve the health care user in their care in a person-centered manner. In this study, we gathered insights from different stakeholders to provide understanding of how the availability of digital posture scanning data can enhance and enable personalized physiotherapy services.

Abstract:

AimTo evaluate the clinical effectiveness, patient satisfaction and economic efficacy of a physiotherapy service providing musculoskeletal care, as an alternative to GP care.BackgroundThere is a growing demand on general practice resources. A novel ‘1st Line Physiotherapy Service’ was evaluated in two GP practices (inner city practice, university practice). Physiotherapy, as a first point of contact, was provided as an alternative to GP care for patients with musculoskeletal complaints.ParticipantsA convenience cohort sample of over 500 patients with a musculoskeletal complaint was assessed within the physiotherapy service. For the economic evaluation a cohort of 100 GP patients was retrospectively reviewed.MethodClinical outcome measures were collected at assessment, one and six months following assessment. Patient satisfaction was collected at assessment. An economic evaluation was undertaken on the physiotherapy cohort of patients and compared to a retrospective cohort of patients (n=100) seen by a GP. This evaluation considered only the health care perspective (primary and secondary care). Societal issues such as absence from employment were not considered.ResultsThere were no adverse events associated with the physiotherapy service. Patients reported high levels of satisfaction with the physiotherapy service. Patients managed within the 1st Line Physiotherapy Service demonstrated clinical improvements (EQ-5D-5L, Global Rating of Change) at the six-month point. There was a statistically significant difference in favour of the physiotherapy groups using a non-parametric bootstrap test; inner city practice, mean difference in costs=£538.01 (P=0.006; 95% CI; £865.678, £226.98), university practice mean difference in costs=£295.83 (P=0.044; 95% CI; £585.16, £83.69).ConclusionThe limitations of this pragmatic service evaluation are acknowledged. Nevertheless, the physiotherapy service appears to provide a safe and efficacious service. The service is well received by patients. There appear to be potential financial implications to the health economy. Physiotherapists, as a first point of contact for patients with musculoskeletal-related complaints, could contribute to the current challenges faced in primary care.

Abstract:

Physiotherapy plays a fundamental role in the treatment and rehabilitation of cancer patients, especially those diagnosed with osteosarcoma. This narrative review addressed the importance of physiotherapy in various stages of cancer treatment, from diagnosis to post-surgical rehabilitation. Cancer pain, often debilitating, is a major concern, and physiotherapy offers techniques and approaches for its effective management. In palliative care, physiotherapy seeks to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life, while in post-surgical rehabilitation, the focus is on restoring functionality and promoting the patient’s reintegration. In addition to physical interventions, physiotherapy also addresses the emotional and psychological well-being of patients, offering a holistic approach to cancer care. In short, physiotherapy is essential to improve the quality of life and functionality of cancer patients, addressing physical, emotional and social challenges.

Abstract:

INTROCUTION: The skills and ability to access health care resources digitally is understood as E-health literacy. With the increasing use of the internet, digital devices and advancement in health care systems, the ability and need to develop E-health literacy is increased and may have a huge impact on health care providers and health care seekers in the future. This area is not yet explored, and less literature is available, hence the need of study arises. This study was aimed to evaluate the level of E-health literacy in Physiotherapy students of Gujarat. E-health literacy scale (Eheals) is a valid tool to assess the level of E-health literacy among various health care providers. RESULT: 310 graduate students (83 males, 227 females) across the physiotherapy colleges of Gujarat filled the form and data was analysed using Microsoft excel-Windows 11 version 22H2. 75% students considered that internet is useful and important still the level of confidence to use it was found low among physiotherapy students of Gujarat state. CONCLUSION: The level of E-health literacy is found moderate to low in Physiotherapy students of Gujarat. There is a vast scope of further studies in this area.

Abstract:

Physiotherapy in mental health care and psychiatry is recognized by the World Confederation for Physical Therapy (WCPT) as a specialty within physiotherapy. Physiotherapy in mental health offers a wide range of interventions in regard of body functions, physical activity, exercises, sensory, body and movement awareness, stress and tense regulation and pain management, based on clinical and scientific evidence-based literature. Additionally, the promotion of a healthy lifestyle and “physio-education” (i.e. the process of providing education and information regarding specific physiotherapy related topics to patients and their family members) should be a responsibility of the physiotherapist. This paper gives a short overview of the interventions in the field of mental health to offer appropriate care to a specific vulnerable but growing group in our society.

Abstract:

Drawing from Annemarie Mol’s conceptulisation of multiplicity, we explore how health care practices enact their object(s), using physiotherapy as our example. Our concern is particularly to mobilise ways of practicing or doing physiotherapy that are largely under-theorised, unexamined or marginalised. This approach explores those actions that reside in the interstitial spaces around, beneath and beyond the limits of established practices. Using Mol’s understanding of multiplicity as a theoretical and methodological driver, we argue that physiotherapy in practice often subverts the ubiquitous reductive discourses of biomedicine. Physiotherapy thus enacts multiple objects that it then works to suppress. We argue that highlighting multiplicities opens up physiotherapy as a space which can broaden the objects of practice and resist the kinds of closure that have become emblematic of contemporary physiotherapy practice. Using an exemplar from a rehabilitation setting, we explore how physiotherapists construct their object(s) and consider how multiplicity informs an otherwise physiotherapy that has broader implications for health care and rehabilitation.

Abstract:

The needs of people living with HIV (PLWH) who have access to antiretroviral therapy have shifted from hospital to community care; however, little is known about physiotherapy within HIV community-based care. Our aim was to understand strengths and challenges of implementing physiotherapy within an interprofessional HIV day health program in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We conducted a qualitative descriptive study using semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using inductive content analysis. Fifteen PLWH and 5 healthcare providers participated. Strengths included improved access to physiotherapy and fulfilling an unmet need for rehabilitation; a tailored approach to physiotherapy; co-location improved communication, coordination, and engagement in care; and improved health outcomes for PLWH (i.e. function, psychosocial outcomes, and quality of life). Challenges related to managing expectations; variable attendance at visits; and managing complex and diverse needs of PLWH. Results may be transferable to other community-based care settings that provide care for PLWH and complex multi-morbidity.

Abstract:

Pediatric palliative care (PPC) is a set of actions aimed at children who suffer from a severe or life-threatening disease to alleviate the symptoms of the disease and improve the quality of life of both the child and his/her family. One of the tools used to control symptoms is physiotherapy; however, its application in the child population has not been thoroughly studied. The main objective of this study was to gather, analyze, and critically evaluate the available scientific evidence on physiotherapy in children who require palliative care through a systematic review of the studies published in the last 10 years in the following databases: PubMed, Cochrane Library, PEDro, CINAHL, and Scopus. Of a total of 622 studies, the inclusion criteria were only met by seven articles, which were focused on the relationship between physiotherapy and PPC. This study analyzed: (1) the main pathologies treated, with a predominance of cerebral palsy and cancer; (2) the interventions applied, such as respiratory physiotherapy, neurological physiotherapy, therapeutic massage, and virtual reality; (3) the effects achieved in the child and his/her family, highlighting the control of symptoms and the improvement of the quality of life; and (4) the knowledge of the physiotherapists on PPC, observing that most of the professionals had not received training in this scope. The findings of this review indicate a lack of an adequate evidence foundation for physiotherapy in PPC.

Abstract:

Abstract Introduction: Terminal patients require proper care standards and professional team of doctors, physiotherapists, social workers, educators, psychologists and clergy directly involved in mitigating the suffering of a dying person. A physiotherapist as a member of such a team should be focused on sustaining the patient’s quality of life until the end at the level relevant to the patient’s health state. This quality of life should be perceived integrally as a combination of procedures reducing pain and physical suffering as well as improving physical fitness and mental well-being. Material and methods:The aim of the research was to define the role of physiotherapy in assessing mental and physical state of terminal patients; to determine the applicability of ADLs, GDS and BDI in diagnosing the validity and usefulness of tiresome physiotherapeutic procedures for terminal patients and to assess the applied tests in predicting terminal patients’ survival time. The research was carried out on the turn of 2012 and 2013 in the group of 103 subjects (74 females - 71.8% and 29 males - 28.2%) For the research the following methods were used: - Activity of Daily Living scale (ADL)- - Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) - Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) - Questionnaire regarding their willingness to participate in physiotherapeutic procedures. Results: In the research the range of diagnostic possibilities of the applied scales and tests, correlations between theses scales and tests as well as correlations between them and subjects’ age and survival time were assessed. Additionally, a questionnaire survey was carried out which assessed the willingness to participate in physiotherapeutic procedures. Strong stress, terminal state of the patient and generalisation of symptoms brought about the fact that only 14.6% of patients declared their willingness to participate in physiotherapeutic procedures. Conclusions: 1. Implementing physiotherapeutic and psychological diagnostic tests in everyday terminal care makes it easier to assess survival time of terminal patients and significantly improves their life and dying with dignity 2. Proper understanding of the symptoms of dying must serve as a basis for organising adequate activities compliant with the progress of a disease of a terminal patient without disturbing the process of dying. 3. Modern physiotherapy in terminal care should limit the range of physiotherapeutic procedures and physical therapy while increasing psychological care in this population.
