Group-based exercise training programs for military members presenting musculoskeletal disorders - A pragmatic randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Group physical therapy programs were not inferior to usual physical therapy care for managing pain, functional capacity, and patients' satisfaction with care of military personnel presenting with various musculoskeletal disorders. Both interventions led to clinical and statistical improvement in pain and function in the mid and long term. Group physical therapy could be an effective strategy to enhance access to care..PMID:38530230 | DOI:10.2519/jospt.2024.12342 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Accumulative Assessment of Upper Extremity
CONCLUSION: The AAS-UE uses an innovative assessment method which makes good use of patients' prior information to achieve administrative efficiency with good psychometric properties.IMPACT: This study demonstrates a new assessment method to improve administrative efficiency while retaining psychometric properties, especially individual-level responsiveness and random measurement error, by making good use of patients' basic information and medical records.PMID:38531775 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae050 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Development, reliability, and validity of the mobility assessment scale in hospitalized patients (HMob)
CONCLUSION: The HMob scale showed excellent internal consistency, intra- and inter-rater reliability, and concurrent validity in the motor domain, which suggests that it can be used in daily practice to measure mobility in hospitalized patients.PMID:38522390 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2024.101047 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Early Mobilization Dose Reporting in Randomized Clinical Trials with Patients Who Were Mechanically Ventilated: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSIONS: Deficits in mobilization dose reporting of intensive care unit RCTs were identified, especially for exercise intensity in adults receiving mechanical ventilation. One-third of IG reported all exercise dosing items, whereas no CG reported all of them. Future studies should investigate the details of optimal dosage reporting, particularly for CG.IMPACT: The lack of dose reporting may partially explain the inconsistency in the meta-analysis results of early mobilization trials, thus limiting the interpretation for clinical practice in the intensive care unit.PMID:38519113 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae048 (Source: Physical Therapy)

National Benchmarks to Understand how Doctor of Physical Therapy Learners from Minoritized Race and Ethnicity Groups Perceive their Physical Therapist Education Program
CONCLUSION: REM respondents perceived the physical therapist learning environment more negatively than their non-minoritized peers but expressed strong interest in serving people from underserved communities. These national benchmarks offer academic institutions the opportunity to self-assess their own environment and to work to improve the quality of the educational experience for all learners.IMPACT: In a nationwide benchmarking study, learners from minoritized race and ethnicity backgrounds reported more negative experiences and outcomes during physical therapist education than their non-minoritized peers. These same le...
