Effects of physical interventions on pain and disability in chronic low back pain with pronated feet: a systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review and meta-analysis of four RCTs elucidates that PI, specifically targeting PF, significantly alleviate pain and reduce disability in patients having CLBP with PF. These findings advocate for integrating foot-based PI within the treatment protocols for patients suffering from CLBP accompanied by PF.PMID:38433468 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2325581 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Experiences of individually tailored physical exercise in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy: a qualitative study
CONCLUSION: Clinical guidelines for physical exercise in DMD should encompass customization of exercise interventions supporting motivational factors, balance and social interaction, and identify competing commitments. Successful training programs may enhance quality of life and functionality for these boys.PMID:38420935 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2323994 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

"Definitely a Dark Time:" professional and ethical issues in post-acute care physical therapy during the COVID-19 pandemic
CONCLUSIONS: Professional and ethical constraints on providing care faced by PTs and PTAs during the COVID-19 pandemic can inform current and future clinical practice. Although some of the challenges faced by PTs and PTAs were unique to COVID-19, many problems represent preexisting systemic and organizational issues that were exacerbated by the pandemic.PMID:38420945 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2321216 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Writing for the role: A qualitative exploration of new graduate physiotherapists' transition to practice of clinical documentation
CONCLUSION: New graduate physiotherapists enter the workforce with variable levels of preparedness for clinical documentation, and may experience challenges when facing unfamiliar contexts and clinical complexity. Understanding expectations and engaging in opportunities to improve documentation skills were perceived as beneficial for enhancing new graduate practice of clinical documentation across workplace settings. Implications for workplace support to promote safe and effective practice of documentation are discussed.PMID:38415627 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2315255 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Effect of high voltage electrical stimulation in temporomandibular disorders: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Although exercise alone was effective in many parameters evaluated, additional application of HVES provided further improvement for pain, MMO, cervical mobility, PPTs, jaw muscle strength and joint sounds. HVES can be routinely used in clinics for individuals with TMDs.PMID:38407175 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2321215 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)
