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:

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:

Background. Targeted physical activity drives functional recovery after stroke. This review aimed to determine the amount of time stroke survivors spend physically active during physiotherapy sessions.Summary of Review. A systematic search was conducted to identify published studies that investigated the use of time by people with stroke during physiotherapy sessions. Seven studies were included; six observational and one randomised controlled trial. People with stroke were found to be physically active for an average of 60 percent of their physiotherapy session duration. The most common activities practiced in a physiotherapy session were walking, sitting, and standing with a mean (SD) practice time of 8.7 (4.3), 4.5 (4.0), and 8.3 (2.6) minutes, respectively.Conclusion. People with stroke were found to spend less than two-thirds of their physiotherapy sessions duration engaged in physical activity. In light of dosage studies, practice time may be insufficient to drive optimal motor recovery.

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:

Background Primary care faces unprecedented challenges. A move towards a more comprehensive, multi-disciplinary service delivery model has been proposed as a means with which to secure more sustainable services for the future. One seemingly promising response has been the implementation of physiotherapy self-referral schemes, however there is a significant gap in the literature regarding implementation. Aim This evaluation aimed to explore how the professionals and practice staff involved in the delivery of an in-practice physiotherapy self-referral scheme understood the service, with a focus on perceptions of value, barriers and impact. Design and setting A qualitative evaluation was conducted across two UK city centre practices that had elected to participate in a pilot self-referral scheme offering ‘physiotherapy-as-a-first-point-of-contact’ for patients presenting with a musculoskeletal complaint. Methods Individual and focus group interviews were conducted amongst participating physiotherapists, administration/reception staff, general practitioners (GPs) and one practice nurse (in their capacity as practice partner). Interview data were collected from a total of 14 individuals. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Results Three key themes were highlighted by this evaluation. First, the imperative of effecting a cultural change – including management of patient expectation with particular reference to the belief that GPs represented the ‘legitimate choice’, re-visioning contemporary primary care as a genuine team approach, and the physiotherapists’ reconceptualisation of their role and practices. Second, the impact of the service on working practice across all stakeholders – specifically re-distribution of work to ‘unburden’ the GP, and the critical role of administration staff. Finally, beliefs regarding the nature and benefits of physiotherapeutic musculoskeletal expertise – fears regarding physiotherapists’ ability to work autonomously or identify ‘red flags’ were unfounded. Conclusion This qualitative evaluation draws on the themes to propose five key lessons which may be significant in predicting the success of implementing physiotherapy self-referral schemes.

Abstract:

Abstract Background Activity levels in older people undergoing inpatient rehabilitation are low. Intervention by the rehabilitation team amounts to 2% of a patient’s day. Interdisciplinary working helps to ensure that therapy continues beyond the physiotherapy gym. However, safe handling is required. Aims Examine the awareness of ward staff of the mobility status of their patients. Investigate if staff on a general geriatric rehabilitation ward are compliant with physiotherapy mobility recommendations. Methods Data collection took place on a general geriatric rehabilitation ward from February to March 2019. Staff Awareness was assessed by individually asking ward staff (Nurses and Health Care Assistants) to identify the mobility status of their patients. Their responses were recorded and compared with the physiotherapy mobility recommendations as per the MDT (multi-disciplinary) communication whiteboard. The mobility status of each patient was observed by means of random visual audits. Observations were recorded and subsequently compared to the physiotherapy mobility recommendations as above for compliance. Results For the staff awareness audit, 95 responses were obtained from 10 different staff members. 50.5% of responses (n=48) correctly identified patients’ mobility status. 49.5% (n=47) incorrectly identified patients’ mobility status. From 10 visual audits, a total of 196 patient observations were recorded. In 37.2% (n=73) of observations, patients were not mobilising as per physiotherapy recommendations. 39.3% (n=77) of observations were as recommended. In 23.5% (n=46) of observations, patients were not mobilised at all. Conclusion There was limited awareness among ward staff of the mobility status of their patients. Over 1/3 of patients were not mobilised as per physiotherapy recommendations. These findings can compromise both patient and staff safety. The visual audit also highlighted low physical activity levels in some patients. Implications for clinical practice include the need for education on safer mobility and the promotion of patient physical activity at ward level. Physiotherapy led educational and practical handling sessions for ward staff have proven to be beneficial in this regard.

Abstract:

IntroductionThere is a gap between the care people with knee osteoarthritis (OA) should receive according to evidence-based guidelines and the care they do receive. This feasibility study aims to test the feasibility of developing and implementing a codesigned, physiotherapy-led, multidisciplinary, evidence-based model of care for knee OA, among community physiotherapy practices in Australia, where community practice is defined as a professional physiotherapy business that is not controlled or paid for by the government.Methods and analysisA mixed-methods quasi-experimental (pre/postintervention) study. In the preintervention phase, all consented physiotherapists working in nine metropolitan-based, community physiotherapy practices, and 26 patients with knee OA will be recruited. Patients will be recruited from all practices by the physiotherapists, using the outlined inclusion/exclusion criteria. An audit of physiotherapy treatment notes will occur using a proforma, to gain an understanding of current community physiotherapy treatment and documentation. Patient and physiotherapist interviews will be conducted to determine current practice for the management of knee OA. A codesign phase will follow, where a model of care will be developed by researchers, patients, clinical staff, members of the public and other stakeholders, based on current guidelines for conservative management of knee OA. In the postintervention phase, a further 26 patients will be recruited, and the assessment process repeated to determine whether there is a change in practice. The feasibility outcome measures are: (1) number of patients who are recorded as receiving care according to current evidence-based guidelines; (2) number of patients who have patient-reported outcomes incorporated into their assessment and management plan; and (3) acceptability of the developed model to patients and physiotherapists. The clinical outcomes will include assessment of patient-reported outcome measures (pain, function, etc) in the preintervention and postintervention phases (baseline and 12 weeks) to assess trends towards change in participant symptoms.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval has been obtained from the University of New South Wales human ethics committee (approval number HC180864, approval period 6 February 2019 to 5 February 2024). The preintervention stage of this study is complete. The next stage is to implement the intervention and compare outcomes between the preintervention and postintervention phases. The results will be disseminated via peer-reviewed publications and presentations at conferences.Trial registration numberThe preintervention phase of the study is retrospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with registration number: ACTRN12620000188932. The intervention and postintervention phase of the study is prospectively registered at ClinicalTrials.gov with registration number: ACTRN12620000218998.

Abstract:

Background:Physiotherapists are better placed to spearhead health promoting activities by encouraging health enhancing lifestyles as part of their practice. This study reviews health promotion practices of Physiotherapists in African countries in order to identify gaps and make recommendations to improve the health promotion practices. Methods:This narrative review was developed from a literature review of previous studies on health promotion practices among physiotherapists in Africa, which were published in English from the years 2010-2020, retrieved from Google Scholar and PubMed. Only articles that focused on health promotion, physical activity, practices, Physiotherapy and Africa were included.Results:Nine (9) studies met the inclusion criteria for this review. Five (5) studies were from Nigeria while one study each from Rwanda, South Africa, Ghana and Ethiopia. Most studies reviewed used quantitative cross-sectional surveys. The focus of these studies were mainly exploring Physiotherapists’ knowledge, attitude and practices towards health promotion and physical activity promotion. Others looked at Physiotherapy practices with regards to counseling, risk factor assessment and interventions as well as perceived barriers and educational needs. Conclusion: It is evident that there is little research done on health promotion practices among Physiotherapists in African countries. There is need to conduct more studies in this area in order to identify the challenges and improve the health promotion practices among Physiotherapy practitioners in the region.

Abstract:

Background/aims Few studies have investigated the characteristics of advanced practice physiotherapy in the UK to evaluate current context and implementation. The aim of this study was to understand how advanced practice physiotherapy is implemented in the UK. Methods A cross-sectional online descriptive national questionnaire was developed, using a previous survey and literature, comprising 33 closed, Likert-scale and open questions. Data analysis was undertaken using frequencies and thematic analysis. All 646 members of the Advanced Practice Physiotherapy Network were invited to participate. Results A total of 142 (22% response) reported 13 job titles; 40% had experienced ≥1 title change; most (50.7%) preferred ‘advanced practice physiotherapist’. High level job satisfaction was identified but barriers prevent fulfilment of the four advanced practice physiotherapy pillars: clinical practice, leadership and management, education and research. High level clinical skills and facilitating patient pathways were key to role differentiation. Problems included lack of support, inconsistency between responsibility and reward, and no consistent framework for advanced practice physiotherapy roles. Conclusions Advanced practice physiotherapists are largely satisfied, but significant variation exists in titles and implementation of roles. A consistent advanced practice physiotherapy framework is required.

Abstract:

(1) Background: It is important to explore the ethical situations that physiotherapy students encountered in their clinical practices. (2) Methods: Qualitative, explorative, descriptive study. The participants included third-year physiotherapy students. They had to write five narratives about ethical situations encountered in their clinical practices. Krippendorff’s method for qualitative content analysis was used to cluster units within the data to identify emergent themes. The study protocol was approved by the authors’ University Ethic Committee of Human Research (H1515588244257). (3) Result: 280 narratives were reported by 64 students (23.34 ± 4.20 years, 59% women). Eight categories were identified from the qualitative analysis of the data: (a) professional responsibility, (b) professional competence, (c), beneficence, (d) equality and justice, (e) autonomy, (f) confidentiality, (g) respect for privacy, and (h) sincerity. All participants were informed and provided written informed consent. (4) Conclusions: Ethical principles were frequently violated in physiotherapy. Experiences of physiotherapy students must be examined to tailor educational interventions prior to their initiation into practice. Ethics education is needed in workplaces and should be increased in basic education. Facilitating the ethical awareness of future physiotherapists is a challenge for university teachers who provide ethical competence training.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Limited evidence exists regarding practice educators’ and practice tutors’ experience of, and training in, student supervision in the physiotherapy workplace. This knowledge would inform universities of their learning needs and help to enhance the practice-based experience for physiotherapy students. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to create a profile of physiotherapy practice educators’ and practice tutors’ student supervision experience, university support available to them during practice placement and training undertaken by them. This study was undertaken in the Republic of Ireland. METHODS: An online survey was designed and circulated via the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists’ database of physiotherapy members. RESULTS: One hundred and ninety-two practice educators and 71 practice tutors participated. Findings indicate that the 1:1 model of practice education is the predominant model of practice education employed in the Republic of Ireland. 70% of practice educators currently receive support from a practice tutor. Fifty-five percent of practice educators undertake student supervision 2-3 times per year. However, 56% of practice educators and 48% of practice tutors had not undertaken training in student supervision in the year prior to the study. A decline was also noted in the uptake of student supervision among clinicians with 16–25 years clinical experience. CONCLUSION: This study provides an insightful profile of physiotherapy practice education in the Republic of Ireland. Findings are encouraging, with data highlighting that most practice educators are supported by practice tutors. Recommendations include the need for further investigation of the apparent decline in student supervision among experienced clinicians. Consideration of the learning needs of practice educators and practice tutors is encouraged as well as a review of the accessibility and flexibility of training resources provided.

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:

Management of noncommunicable diseases requires the adoption of multidisciplinary interventions that targets the modification of risk factors. Cardiovascular and respiratory diseases are amongst the four main killers of noncommunicable diseases. Physiotherapists specializing in cardiorespiratory physiotherapy are in a critical position in the management of health behaviors associated with noncommunicable diseases. However, the current context of health service in Jordan does not provide sufficient support and recognition for the delivery of specialized physiotherapy services. Objectives. The primary aim of this study was to describe cardiorespiratory physiotherapy service in Jordan. The secondary aims of this study were to: (i) Identify benchmarks from international contexts and guidelines for the delivery of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy service. (ii) Identify gaps and areas for development in the current delivery of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy service. Methods. This two phase study included a survey and a conceptual review with benchmarking. Following ethics approval, a cross sectional survey of physiotherapists practicing in Jordan was conducted. In phase 1, a survey was developed to describe the relevant dimensions of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy service. In phase 2 a conceptual review of the literature was performed to identify domains of service delivery and criteria required for optimal delivery of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy service. In the discussion we integrated the results of the survey within the benchmarks that emerged from the conceptual review of literature in order to identify gaps and areas for development in the current delivery of cardiorespiratory physiotherapy service. Results. Phase 1: Data emerging from the survey suggests that Physiotherapists in Jordan lack training and autonomy, preventing them from acquiring advanced roles particularly cardiorespiratory physiotherapy that requires specialised knowledge and skills. The current delivery of the service is limited to acute interventions, and is based on limited, unstructured referral from physicians depriving the patients from the service. The context of health service in Jordan does not provide sufficient recognition for physiotherapy; neither does it support the delivery of multidisciplinary interventions by appropriate regulations and policies. Phase 2: The following three domains emerged from the literature and were used for describing cardiorespiratory physiotherapy in Jordan: people, scope of practice, and context of practice. Conclusion. Advancing practice requires developing competencies relevant to cardiorespiratory physiotherapy particularly diagnosis, health promotion, and prevention. It is recommended that health authorities should develop regulations and policies that promote the recognition and integration of physiotherapists in the healthcare system, as well as facilitating the implementation of patient centred, multidisciplinary interventions.

Abstract:

ZusammenfassungNach zentralen Läsionen treten bei der Funktionsrückkehr zwei gegensätzliche Phänomene auf: Minussymptome wie die Parese und Plussymptome wie die Spastik.Gerade der Spastiktherapie wird in der neurologischen Physiotherapie ein großer Stellenwert zugeschrieben. Dies spiegelt sich in vielfältigen Definitionen, Erklärungsmodellen und Tests für das Phänomen der Spastik wider. Auch die Behandlungsmethoden sind zahlreich: Traditionell wird das Bobath-Konzept angewendet, obwohl es nur empirische Empfehlungen zur Spastikreduktion gibt und seine Effektivität kontrovers diskutiert wird. Demgegenüber finden Physiotherapeuten in der Literatur evidenzbasierte Richtlinien: Kurze und langanhaltende Muskeldehnungen mit oder ohne Gewichtsbelastung senken die Spastik nachweislich. Sie können vorbereitend durch Kälte-oder Wärmetherapie unterstützt werden. Lagerungsschienen gewährleisten eine Dehnung auch außerhalb der Therapie. Bei spastisch bedingten kontrakten Fehlstellungen sollten zirkuläre Gipsverbände eingesetzt werden. Ein antagonistisches Muskeltraining reduziert die Spastik ebenfalls, wirkt der Parese aktiv entgegen und begegnet Plus- und Minussymptomen.

Abstract:

AbstractBackgroundNeck dissection is associated with post-operative shoulder dysfunction in a substantial number of patients, affecting quality of life and return to work. There is no current UK national practice regarding physiotherapy after neck dissection.MethodNine regional centres were surveyed to determine their standard physiotherapy practice pre- and post-neck dissection, and to determine pre-emptive physiotherapy for any patients.ResultsEighty-nine per cent of centres never arranged any pre-emptive physiotherapy for any patients. Thirty-three per cent of centres offered routine in-patient physiotherapy after surgery. No centres offered out-patient physiotherapy for all patients regardless of symptoms. Seventy-eight per cent offered physiotherapy for patients with any symptoms, with 11 per cent offering physiotherapy for those with severe dysfunction only. Eleven per cent of centres never offered physiotherapy for any dysfunction.ConclusionThe provision of physiotherapy is most commonly reactive rather than proactive, and usually driven by patient request. There is little evidence of pre-arranged physiotherapy for patients to treat or prevent shoulder dysfunction in the UK.

Abstract:

ZusammenfassungEine Verbesserung der Stand- und Gangfunktion kann bei Morbus Parkinson durch gezieltes Kraft- und Gleichgewichtstraining erreicht werden. Ebenso ist der Einsatz von äußeren Schrittmachern zur Überwindung von motorischen Blockaden effektiv. Aus physiotherapeutischer Sicht erscheint es sinnvoll auf diese Studienergebnisse mit symptomorientiertem, intensivem Training zu reagieren. Die Dokumentation darüber sollte mit möglichst denselben validierten Beurteilungsskalen durchgeführt werden. In diesem Zusammenhang stellt diese Übersicht Studien und eigene Erfahrungen vor, welche die Physiotherapie bei Parkinson-Syndrom im Gesamtkonzept einer evidenzbasierten Medizin sieht.

Abstract:

Clinical specialist physiotherapists from the five severe respiratory failure centres in England where respiratory extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is practiced have established this consensus agreement for physiotherapy best practice. The severe respiratory failure centres are Wythenshawe Hospital, Manchester; Glenfield Hospital, Leicester; Papworth Hospital, Cambridge; Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, London and The Royal Brompton Hospital, London. Although research into physiotherapy and ECMO is increasing, there is not a sufficient amount to write evidence-based guidelines; hence the development of a consensus document, using knowledge and experience of the specialist physiotherapists working with patients receiving ECMO. The document outlines safety aspects, practicalities and additional treatment considerations for physiotherapists conducting respiratory care and physical rehabilitation.
