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...

The Stroke Upper and Lower Extremity Physical Function Measures Were Supported for Score Reliability, Validity, and Administration Efficiency for Patients Poststroke
CONCLUSION: The stroke upper extremity and stroke lower extremity PROM scores were reliable, valid, and efficient and had moderate change effect sizes for assessing physical function as perceived by patients poststroke with upper and lower extremity impairments. Scores had negligible floor and acceptable ceiling effects. Based on these results, the stroke PROMs are suitable for research and routine clinical practice.IMPACT: As item response theory-based measures, these PROMs support clinical practice guideline recommendations for the use of outcome measures in neurologic physical therapy and the administration of condition...

Physical Therapists Use Different Motivational Strategies for Stroke Rehabilitation Tailored to an Individual's Condition: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS: This qualitative study suggests that physical therapists use different strategies depending on the individual's mental health conditions, physical problems, level of cognitive function, personality, activities and participation, age, human environment, and the type of rehabilitation service where the individual undergoes treatment to motivate individuals with stroke during physical therapy.IMPACT: The findings of this study can provide experience-based recommendations regarding the selection of motivational strategies for stroke rehabilitation.PMID:37017336 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad034

Physical Therapy Provider Continuity Predicts Functional Improvements in Inpatient Rehabilitation
CONCLUSIONS: PT provider continuity is related to the functional improvement of neurologically impaired patients in inpatient rehabilitation.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A405, which discusses the findings of this work in a narrative format).PMID:36279402 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000422

Randomization to Treadmill Training Improves Physical and Metabolic Health in Association with Declines in Oxidative Stress in Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: Six months of TM tends to be associated with increased functional capacity and reduced oxidative stress in chronic stroke survivors. Our findings identify potentially modifiable systemic markers of inflammation and oxidative stress important to stroke rehabilitation and provide potential targets for novel therapeutics in future studies.PMID:35839921 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.06.011

Effects of therapeutic intervention on spatiotemporal gait parameters in adults with neurological disorder: systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Sensory stimulation such as auditory and somatosensory stimulation while walking had the most significant effect on step length in adults with PD. We also found that conventional PT did improve spatial gait parameters relative to other physical activity interventions in adults with PD and stroke.PMID:35787837 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.06.003

Clinical properties of the 6-clicks and Functional Status Score for the ICU in a hospital in the United Arab Emirates
CONCLUSION: Both instruments demonstrate good responsiveness in adults hospitalized in the United Arab Emirates. The FSS-ICU exhibited several advantages in performance which suggests greater clinical utility than the 6-clicks. Minimal important differences were generated, which has not before been reported for the 6-clicks.PMID:35613651 | DOI:10.1016/j.apmr.2022.04.008

Effect of Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) on spasticity in adults with stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: There is strong evidence that TENS as an adjunct is effective in reducing lower limb spasticity when applied for more than 30 minutes over nerve or muscle belly in chronic stroke survivors. (Review protocol registered at PROSPERO: CRD42015020151).

Efficacy of coupling repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and physical therapy to reduce upper limb spasticity in stroke patients: a randomised controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: rTMS associated with PT can be beneficial in reducing post-stroke spasticity. However, more studies are needed to clarify the clinical changes underlying the reduction of spasticity induced by non-invasive brain stimulations.
