Online Exercise Programs for Chronic Nonspecific Neck Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial Reveals Comparable Effects of Global, Local, and Combined Approaches
CONCLUSION: A blended exercise program was not superior to the stand-alone programs in reducing disability. Nevertheless, the global perceived effect of this type of exercise was higher. Future research necessitates larger sample sizes to adequately explore the optimal type of exercise for patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain.IMPACT: Exercise therapy should be an important part of the rehabilitation of patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain, regardless of the type of exercise.PMID:38498321 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae040 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Perception-Action Approach Versus Standard Care for Infants with Congenital Muscular Torticollis: A Pilot Single-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that similar short-term outcomes may be obtained in infants with CMT undergoing P-AA and standard care interventions. Definitive conclusions regarding the efficacy of the P-AA in infants with CMT cannot be made at this time. Nevertheless, the pilot findings provide valuable preliminary data for a future efficacy trial, which will require funding.IMPACT: This was the first randomized controlled trial to provide evidence for use of P-AA intervention in infants with CMT.PMID:38484092 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae038 (Source: Physical Therapy)

The Experiences of Black Students in Physical Therapy Education in Texas: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSION: There is evidence to suggest that Black or African American students are subject to unique pressures that negatively affect their experiences during their PT education. Efforts need to be made by higher education institutions and individuals to provide a more inclusive environment to best support those students. By gaining awareness of the results of this study, educators and students can begin dialogues on how to foster inclusivity and cultural understanding in physical therapy education. Ultimately, understanding the experiences of others can improve how individuals coexist in an increasingly diverse society,...

Inclusion of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, and Other Related Identities Content in Australian Physical Therapy Curricula: Perceived Barriers and Priorities for Inclusive Education
CONCLUSION: Most Australian physical therapy programs include LGBTQIA+ content to a limited extent in their curricula, indicating a lack of perceived importance relative to other topics. In this way, Australian universities are maintaining the pervasive heteronormativity of the physical therapy profession and are complicit in the ongoing health disparities between the LGBTQIA+ and heteronormative communities.PMID:38478783 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000304 (Source: Physical Therapy)

A Continuous Quality Improvement Framework for Sustainable Action and Advancement of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging in Physical Therapy
CONCLUSION: Addressing racism and advancing DEI-B efforts in the physical therapy profession requires bold, sustained, and intentional action that incorporates standards, strategies, and methods for measuring change. Examples of PDSA DEI-B initiatives, interventions, and outcomes are provided to illustrate how this approach can be implemented within a physical therapy education program. Using this CQI framework provides our profession with a DEI-B roadmap for advancing incremental and sustained progress.PMID:38478784 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000302 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Assessing the Reconceptualization of Pain in Graduate-Entry Physiotherapy Students Using the Concept of Pain Inventory for Adults: The University of Technology Sydney Physiotherapy Student Surveys Project
CONCLUSION: Following a 14-week pain science education subject embedded within a physiotherapy degree, students improved their concept of pain. The COPI-Adult maintains a 1-factor structure in this population. Completing a previous subject on pain was associated with higher COPI-Adult scores.PMID:38478785 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000309 (Source: Physical Therapy)
