Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy: overdue to address a nutrition crisis with a transformative population approach
J Phys Ther Sci. 2023 Sep;35(9):645-658. doi: 10.1589/jpts.35.645. Epub 2023 Sep 2.ABSTRACTThis timely evidence synthesis supports the need for an Academy of Plant-based Physical Therapy. Given epidemiological and empirical evidence and the profession's values and practice scope, the time has come for a specialty of plant-based physical therapy based on population health principles. This review connects these factors. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are largely nutrition-related resulting from unnatural elements of our diet (i.e., heart disease, several cancers, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, gastrointestinal di...

Adverse Events During Submaximal Aerobic Exercise Testing in People With Subacute Stroke: A Scoping Review
CONCLUSION: Diverse submaximal AEx testing protocols with conservative test termination criteria can be safely implemented with PwSS. Results can inform clinical practice guidelines and address physical therapists' concerns with the occurrence of serious adverse events during submaximal AEx testing.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1 available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A430).PMID:37184472 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000445

Future-proofing the Profession: Physiotherapists ’ Perceptions of their Current and Emerging Role
This qualitative report is important and reflects the deeper thinking that is needed about the directions of physiotherapy as a leading established health profession [1]. As a profession we have shown less reflexivity and responsiveness to epidemiologic trends since the end of World War 2, over 70 years ago. Given the progressive increase in prevalence of chronic lifestyle-related non-communicable diseases since World War 2, namely, heart disease, cancer, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, obesity, renal disease, autoimmune diseases, and Alzheimer ’s disease and that non-invasive interventions are typically superior to drug...

A feasibility study into the effectiveness of a cue intervention, to increase physical activity levels in ambulatory chronic stroke
Purpose: Physical inactivity is the second highest population-attributable risk factor for stroke, following hypertension. Continuity of care, resources and information available to help adapt to life after stroke, following discharge from hospital is poor. Physiological and psychological changes further contribute to physical inactivity, and only a small proportion make full recovery. Frequently breaking up prolonged sitting with physical activity or standing can improve cardiometabolic health and reduce occurrence of stroke.

Aerobic Training in Canadian Stroke Rehabilitation Programs
Conclusions: Most stroke rehabilitation programs across Canada include AT. People with severe physical impairment and those with cardiac, metabolic, and hemodynamic comorbidities may be excluded or not appropriately monitored during exercise. More detailed guidelines and training practices are needed to address these challenges.
