Associations between back pain incidence, and physical activity and sedentary behaviours: A prospective cohort study with data from over 365,000 participants
CONCLUSION: Physical activity was related to a reduced risk of back pain incidence (except over-high vigorous physical activity). Substituting sedentary behaviours with physical activities reduced the risk of future back pain.PMID:38687159 | DOI:10.2519/jospt.2024.12338 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Boosting treatment outcomes via the patient-practitioner relationship, treatment-beliefs or therapeutic setting. A systematic review with meta-analysis of contextual effects in chronic musculoskeletal pain
CONCLUSION: Whilst evidence gaps exist, per current evidence it may not be possible to achieve meaningful benefit for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain by manipulating the context of non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatments. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This systematic review was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42023391601).PMID:38687160 | DOI:10.2519/jospt.2024.12259 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Integrated Healthcare Improves Clinical Outcomes by Reducing Polypharmacy
This study hypothesizes that a team approach focused on reducing psychiatric medications will lead to improved clinical health in the long-term care (LTC) setting. This team approach will break previous barriers to gradual dose reductions and improve patient outcomes. A four-member team of primary care provider, psychiatric care provider, psychotherapy provider, and clinical pharmacist will evaluate patient drug burden and clinical metrics and create a care plan to determine drug reduction needs, address and reduce resistance to deprescribing, engage vendors such as physical therapy, and improve the clinical outcomes of th...

Determining the Optimal Length of Clinical Education Experiences: Surveying Doctor of Physical Therapy Academic and Clinical Faculty
CONCLUSION: There was consistency between academic and clinical faculty regarding the perceived optimal length of full-time CEEs. Academic and clinical faculty perspectives for the optimal length of terminal full-time CEEs (12.5 weeks) were different than those for the national average (21.8 weeks) length of terminal full-time CEEs. Our study provides evidence to support DPT programs' clinical education curriculum decisions regarding the length of full-time CEEs to optimize students learning and maturation.PMID:38684091 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000342 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Psychometric Analysis of an Integrated Clinical Education Tool for Physical Therapists
CONCLUSION: Results support the use of this tool to measure student performance and growth in a first full-time ICE course. Targeted measurement of students' abilities in ICE courses assists with differentiating formative and summative learning needed to achieve academic success.PMID:38684094 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000341 (Source: Physical Therapy)

2023 Pauline Cerasoli Lecture: It Takes a Village to Raise a Profession
CONCLUSION: The profession has not adopted an intentional pathway for new graduates to meet foundational practice needs. Some new graduates seek residencies, but residencies are focused on specialization and supply does not meet the demand. Strategies to promote success of early career professionals include a professional to postprofessional curriculum with intentional mentorship, changes in the regulatory environment, and formation of effective partnerships to support education and practice.PMID:38684104 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000344 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Low-Intensity Pulsed Ultrasound: A Physical Stimulus with Immunomodulatory and Anti-inflammatory Potential
Ann Biomed Eng. 2024 Apr 29. doi: 10.1007/s10439-024-03523-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUltrasound has expanded into the therapeutic field as a medical imaging and diagnostic technique. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a kind of therapeutic ultrasound that plays a vital role in promoting fracture healing, wound repair, immunomodulation, and reducing inflammation. Its anti-inflammatory effects are manifested by decreased pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, accelerated regression of immune cell invasion, and accelerated damage repair. Although the anti-inflammatory mechanism of LIPUS is not very clear, m...
