Trunk control in people with multiple sclerosis with different disability level: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSIONS: As the level of disability increases in people with Multiple Sclerosis, trunk control decreases, suggesting that care should be taken regarding trunk control during the progression of the disease. Evaluation of trunk control will be guiding when creating treatment programs.PMID:38353490 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2316306 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Effects of pelvic tilt control using visual biofeedback on gluteus maximus, multifidus, and hamstring activities during three different bridge exercises
CONCLUSIONS: The bridge exercise involving PPT using visual biofeedback can be recommended as a home exercise to selectively improve the muscle activity of the GM and the muscle activity ratio of the GM/HAM and GM/MF. This information may be valuable for clinicians seeking exercise programs to target specific muscles effectively.PMID:38329074 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2297001 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Holding space and sitting with emotions: the lived experiences of physiotherapists using psychological strategies in pain care
CONCLUSION: Participants described a journey toward holding space and sitting with emotions. All themes were interwoven and profoundly connected in the essence of a safe "space," where persons can voice their emotions in a non-judgmental environment. The themes may represent a pathway for the physiotherapist to facilitate a person on their journey of healing.PMID:38299915 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2300400 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Are physiotherapists expected to be competent in digital health practice? Meta-synthesis of international physiotherapy practice competency standards
CONCLUSIONS: Digital health practice is currently under-represented in competency standards for physiotherapists. Workforce advancement in light of the burgeoning impact of digital health will prompt further updates to professional competency standards set by our peak organizations. This will have a flow on effect, whereby education providers (e.g. universities and other professional development providers) should consider curriculum and training that prepares individuals for digitally enabled practice.PMID:38214509 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2299202 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Digital mapping of shoulder pain in patients with shoulder disorders: a reliability study
CONCLUSIONS: Digital body mapping assessing pain area and radiation extent in patients with shoulder disorders are reliable. The magnitude of absolute reliability suggests other sources of variability on repeat testing in this population. Pain area and radiation extent appear to be independent constructs.PMID:38214518 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2300753 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

The effects of inspiratory muscle warm-up prior to inspiratory muscle training during pulmonary rehabilitation in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a randomized trial
CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrated improvements in both groups, surpassing or closely approaching the established minimal clinically important difference values for the respective outcomes. Performing a warm-up for inspiratory muscles before IMT boosts benefits for pulmonary function, inspiratory muscle strength, exercise capacity, dyspnea, and HRQoL in subjects with moderate-to-severe COPD and inspiratory muscle weakness.PMID:38205730 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2301439 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)
