Clinical properties and rehabilitation needs of earthquake survivors in a subacute rehabilitation setting
CONCLUSION: This study highlights the critical rehabilitation needs of earthquake survivors and emphasizes the importance of early and comprehensive rehabilitation interventions. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs were crucial in addressing medical issues, functional limitations, and psychological challenges faced by the survivors. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of earthquake-related injuries and underscore the significance of well-coordinated rehabilitation strategies in disaster responses.PMID:38634844 | DOI:10.14744/tjtes.2024.27553 (Source: Turkish Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery : TJTES)

Durable Effects of Acupuncture for Knee Osteoarthritis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
AbstractPurpose of ReviewKnee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative joint disease which can result in chronic pain and disability. The current interventions available for KOA often fail to provide long-lasting effects, highlighting the need for new treatment options that can offer durable benefits. Previous studies have suggested the efficacy of acupuncture for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) with its durability remaining uncertain. In this review, we aimed to investigate the durability of the efficacy after completion of treatment.Recent FindingsWe performed thorough searches of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Cen...

Foot surgery for adults with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease
Pract Neurol. 2024 Apr 17:pn-2023-003825. doi: 10.1136/pn-2023-003825. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeople with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease often undergo foot and ankle surgery, as foot deformities are common and cause a degree of functional limitations impairing quality of life. Surgical approaches are variable and there are no evidence-based guidelines. A multidisciplinary approach involving neurology, physical therapy and orthopaedic surgery is ideal to provide guidance on when to refer for surgical opinion and when to intervene. This review outlines the range of foot deformities associated with CMT, their clinic...

Assessing the benefits of an online prematriculation anatomy workshop on knowledge acquisition and anatomy competency in a Doctor of Physical Therapy program
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Jun 1;48(2):347-355. doi: 10.1152/advan.00053.2023.ABSTRACTPreparing students for the transition to graduate-level education with greater learning demands in a condensed time frame is a challenging process for health professions educators and incoming students. Prematriculation programs offer a solution for exposing students to the foundational sciences in preparation for the academic rigor of a doctoral program. This retrospective study assessed whether incoming students enrolled across 3 yr of a 2-day online anatomy workshop, offered in July and August before the start of their first semester resul...

Unlocking Patient Voices: Advancing Physical Therapist Practice with Discrete Choice Experiments
This article addresses the importance of eliciting patient preferences as part of person-centered care in the value-based space, the challenges faced in preference measurement in physical therapy, and how the discrete choice experiment can alleviate some of those challenges. It also provides examples of the discrete choice experiment in health care and suggests ways in which it can be effectively used in physical therapist practice to improve the delivery of meaningful rehabilitation services to patients. Implementing greater use of the DCE in physical therapy can improve person-centered physical therapist service delivery...

LGBTQIA+ Cultural Competence in Physical Therapist Education and Practice: A Qualitative Study from the Patients' Perspective
CONCLUSION: An LGBTQIA+ patient's experience is influenced by the provider cultural acceptance, and the resulting power dynamics that impact LGBTQIA+ patients' comfort, trust, and perceptions of care. Enhanced patient experiences were found more prevalent with providers that possessed elevated levels of education or experience with this community, supporting Campinha-Bacote's assumption that there is a direct relationship between level of competence in care and effective and culturally responsive service.IMPACT: Awareness of the underlying issues presented in these themes will assist in the development of effective solutio...
