Effects of robot-assisted arm training on respiratory muscle strength, activities of daily living, and quality of life in patients with stroke: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSIONS: Both CombT and CR groups improved respiratory muscle strength, performance in ADLs, and quality of life in patients with stroke. However, CombT appears to offer more comprehensive benefits, highlighting its valuable role in respiratory and functional recovery after stroke.PMID:38165122 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2299727 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Comparison of tactile acuity between patients with chronic patellofemoral pain with central sensitization and healthy persons: A cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: The findings of this study reveal that there is a sensory deficit in patients with chronic PFP. Because sensory information is necessary for motor control and pain perception, we can assume that clinical symptoms in these patients are related to sensory deficits.PMID:38165123 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2300040 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Immediate effects of percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in patients with lateral elbow pain
CONCLUSION: A single session of real-percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation targeting the radial nerve in subjects with lateral elbow pain decreased pain intensity between groups and increased pain-free grip strength on the treated side but not between groups.PMID:38146921 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2296063 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)

Reaching for connection: a qualitative study of communication and interaction in video-based physiotherapy
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study show that video-based physiotherapy, while having several benefits according to both patients and physiotherapists, affects the communication in several ways. Physiotherapists need to acknowledge these limitations and seek strategies to adapt and to compensate for the reduced non-verbal elements and lack of touch. Attention to the physical room and shifting between positions (face/full figure) are suggested practical strategies, but also to practice awareness and embodied communication to improve receptivity in the interaction.PMID:38145499 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2296574 (Source:...

"Learning by osmosis": the transformative social identity journey of physiotherapists developing psychologically-informed practice, a reflexive thematic analysis
CONCLUSION: Changes in clinical practice involve dynamics at the collective level of the practice environment and of the physiotherapy profession itself, rather than solely at the individual level of clinicians. An understanding of these complex social processes at a managerial level could be important to better support leaders and clinicians in implementing PIP in clinical practice.PMID:38131314 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2023.2297290 (Source: Physiotherapy Theory and Practice)
