Prognostic Factors and Treatment Effect Modifiers for Physical Health, Opioid Prescription, and Health Care Utilization in Patients With Musculoskeletal Disorders in Primary Care: Exploratory Secondary Analysis of the STEMS Randomized Trial of Direct Access to Physical Therapist-Led Care
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with musculoskeletal conditions with lower levels of pain self-efficacy, higher pain severity, and presenting with low back pain have less favorable clinical and health care outcomes in primary care. Prespecified characteristics did not modify the treatment effect of the offer of a direct-access physical therapist-led pathway compared to GP-led care.IMPACT: Patients with musculoskeletal conditions receiving primary care in the form of direct-access physical therapist-led or GP-led care who have lower levels of self-efficacy, higher pain severity, and low back pain are likely to have a less favorable p...

Sensitivity to change and responsiveness of provocative load tests among athletes with patellar tendinopathy
CONCLUSION: This study found moderate to high sensitivity to change and established MCID values for the SLDS and KE test in athletes with patellar tendinopathy before and after rehabilitation. Both tests may be useful as pain on loading outcomes as athletes progress with their rehabilitation, but the KE test results in higher floor effects and has lower sensitivity to change.PMID:38696973 | DOI:10.1016/j.bjpt.2024.101064 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Health Care Utilization by Patients With Chronic Pelvic Pain
CONCLUSION: Patients with chronic pelvic pain have higher rates of chronic overlapping pain conditions and undergo more ED visits, imaging tests, and hysterectomies than patients without chronic pelvic pain. Improving access to multidisciplinary care, increasing utilization of interventions such as PT and psychological or behavioral therapy, and reducing ED utilization may be possible targets to help reduce overall health care costs and improve patient care.PMID:38696811 | DOI:10.1097/AOG.0000000000005595 (Source: Obstetrics and Gynecology)

Early Ambulation Following Lung Resection Surgery: Impact on Short-term Outcomes in Patients with Lung Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Ambulation for ≥10 m during initial pulmonary rehabilitation after lung resection surgery may yield short-term benefits as evidenced by improvements in various outcomes. However, it may not significantly affect the PPC incidence.PMID:38690530 | PMC:PMC11057388 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10277 (Source: Physical Therapy)

The Assessment and Response of Rehabilitation Professionals to Sudden Deterioration in Symptoms: An Analysis of the National Database in Japan
CONCLUSION: We attempted to identify problems analyzing the response by RPs to acute deterioration using the database and construct an appropriate response model. It resulted that RPs need to obtain patient information in advance and integrate/interpret it appropriately based on accurate assessment of conscious, circulation and respiration for rapid response. A model including integration/interpretation for appropriate post-response by RPs was constructed using the FRAM.PMID:38690533 | PMC:PMC11057387 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10272 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Effects of Isometric Quadriceps Muscle Exercise with Visual and Auditory Feedback at 1 Year after Total Knee Arthroplasty
CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that performing isometric quadriceps exercise with visual and auditory feedback using the quadriceps training machine has good effects, such as pain reduction, physical function improvement, exercise tolerance, and increased physical activity at 1 year after TKA.PMID:38690528 | PMC:PMC11057392 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10260 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Family-centered Care for Children with Disabilities in Japan-the Origin and Future of the "Ryouiku"
Phys Ther Res. 2024;27(1):1-5. doi: 10.1298/ptr.R0029. Epub 2024 Mar 12.ABSTRACTFamily-centered care is recommended as the best practice in pediatric physiotherapy. It is a philosophy that pediatric physiotherapists should be familiar with, as it relates to the health of the child as well as the family. However, family-centered care has not been adequately taught in physiotherapy education in Japan. The term "Ryouiku" was coined in 1940 in Japan. The concept of the Ryouiku is essentially Evidence-Based Medicine and is the very essence of family-centered care with a focus on function. By re-thinking the Ryouiku and applying...

The Effect of Total Knee Replacement on Dual-Task Gait Performance in Older Adults
CONCLUSION: The absence of an effect of TKR on gait DTCs can potentially underlie increased fall risk after TKR. Results from this study emphasize the significance of balance as a measure and focal point for rehabilitation after TKR.IMPACT: This study contributes to our understanding of the attentional cost of walking in people before and after TKR, as well as to factors associated with it. Results from this work can assist formulation of rehabilitation programs for people with knee osteoarthritis.PMID:38691445 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae067 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Neurologic Approach to Radiculopathy, Back Pain, and Neck Pain
Prim Care. 2024 Jun;51(2):345-358. doi: 10.1016/j.pop.2024.02.003. Epub 2024 Mar 11.ABSTRACTBack pain and neck pain are common in clinical practice, but significant challenges and pitfalls exist in their diagnosis, treatment, and management. From the neurologic standpoint, cervical radiculopathy and lumbosacral radiculopathy are characterized by neck pain or back pain accompanied by sensory and motor symptoms in an arm or leg. The basic neurologic examination is vital, but testing like electromyography and MRI is often needed especially in cases that fail conservative management. Oral medications, injection-based therapies...
