RESUMO
INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: The Choosing Wisely campaign is an international initiative that is aimed at promoting a dialog between professionals, helping the population to choose an evidence-based, truly necessary and risk-free care. The aim of the study was to develop the Choosing Wisely Brazil list on Women's Health Physiotherapy in the area of the pelvic floor. METHODS: A observational study was carried out between January 2022 and July 2023, proposed by the Brazilian Association of Physiotherapy in Women's Health, and developed by researchers working in the area of the pelvic floor. The development of the list consisted of six stages: a panel of experts, consensus building, national research, a review by the Choosing Wisely Brazil team, preparation of the list, and publication of the recommendations. Descriptive and content analyses were carried out in order to include evidence-based recommendations with over 80% agreement by physiotherapists in Brazil. RESULTS: The expert panel was made up of 25 physiotherapists who submitted 63 recommendations. Seven physiotherapists/researchers carried out a critical analysis of the literature and refined the recommendations, resulting in 11 recommendations that were put to a national vote, in which 222 physiotherapists took part. After a review by the Choosing Wisely Brazil team, five recommendations with an average agreement of 88.2% agreement were chosen for publication. CONCLUSIONS: The Choosing Wisely Brazil team in Physiotherapy in Women's Health/Pelvic Floor proposed a list of five recommendations that showed a high agreement among Brazilian physiotherapists working in the area.

OBJECTIVES: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) in alleviating pain and improving the experience of burn patients during wound care and physical therapy. DESIGN: A systematic review and meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Database, and the Web of Science. REVIEW/ANALYSIS METHODS: We searched four electronic databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from the earliest available date up to March 1, 2022. The primary outcome was worst pain intensity, while secondary outcomes encompassed pain unpleasantness intensity, time spent thinking about pain, and fun experience intensity. Risk of bias was evaluated using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. RESULTS: This study included 21 trials. The combined data revealed that the VR group experienced a significant reduction in worst pain intensity, pain unpleasantness intensity, and time spent thinking about pain compared to the control group. Moreover, VR treatment was associated with a significant increase in the fun experience intensity. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Virtual reality has the potential value of auxiliary analgesia in burn care, and exploring a more perfect scheme of VR-assisted analgesia is worthwhile. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this meta-analysis indicate that VR can effectively reduce worst pain intensity, pain unpleasantness intensity, and time spent thinking about pain during wound care and physical therapy for burn patients. Additionally, it enhances fun experience intensity of the treatment period. Therefore, VR shows promise as a valuable complementary pain management intervention for burn patients.

IMPORTANCE: Clinicians and researchers can leverage clinical documentation of therapy services for quality improvement and research purposes. However, documentation is often institution specific and may not adequately capture the dose of therapy delivered, thus limiting collaboration. OBJECTIVE: To implement documentation of pediatric occupational and physical therapy dose from one institution to another institution. Dose documentation includes the frequency, intensity, time, and type of interventions delivered (FITT Epic® Flowsheet) at each session. DESIGN: Prospective time-series quality improvement study. SETTING: Two large urban pediatric hospitals. PARTICIPANTS: Occupational and physical therapy staff members. INTERVENTION: Staff training and feedback loops utilizing existing groups. OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The process measure (number of available staff trained and using the FITT Epic Flowsheet over time) and the outcome measure (percentage of FITT Epic Flowsheets used for treatment visits each month) were analyzed using a statistical process control chart. The balancing measure (percentage of notes closed before 7 p.m. on the same day as the encounter) was analyzed using mean per month across three time periods. RESULTS: Fifty-seven staff members (68%) attended formal training. On average, clinicians documented 90% of sessions using the FITT Epic Flowsheet after implementation. There was no change observed in the balancing measure. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Documentation of dose was spread from one institution to another. Shared documentation will facilitate future collaboration for quality improvement and research purposes. Occupational therapy practitioners and leaders should consider implementing documentation with common dose elements. Plain-Language Summary: Occupational therapy documentation is often institution specific and may not adequately capture the dose of therapy (frequency, intensity, time) or types of interventions that were delivered, thus limiting opportunities for collaboration between institutions. This article adds to the literature on administrative supports for clinical and quality improvement research by illustrating a specific example of how documentation of dose can be shared from one institution to another. The data show that clinicians at one institution started using a new style of documentation using the FITT Epic® Flowsheet and shared discrete dose elements with another institution, creating new opportunities for collaboration. Shared documentation can facilitate future collaboration for quality improvement and research purposes.

A clinical practice guideline on telerehabilitation was developed by an American Physical Therapy Association volunteer guideline development group consisting of international physical therapists and physiotherapists, a physician, and a consumer. The guideline was based on systematic reviews of current scientific literature, clinical information, and accepted approaches to telerehabilitation in physical therapist practice. Seven recommendations address the impact of, preparation for, and implementation of telerehabilitation in physical therapist practice. Research recommendations identify current gaps in knowledge. Overall, with shared decision-making between clinicians and patients to inform patients of service delivery options, direct and indirect costs, barriers, and facilitators of telerehabilitation, the evidence supports the use of telerehabilitation by physical therapists for both examination and intervention. The Spanish and Chinese versions of this clinical practice guideline, as well as the French version of the recommendations, are available as supplementary material (Suppl. Materials).

PURPOSE: Delegation of clinical tasks from physiotherapists to physiotherapy support workers varies considerably in musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy services leading to variation in patient care. This study aimed to develop consensus amongst physiotherapists, support workers and managers about what components should be included in a future framework to guide effective and safe delegation of clinical tasks to physiotherapy support workers in United Kingdom's National Health Service musculoskeletal outpatient physiotherapy services. METHODS: A consensus study was carried out, using Nominal Group Technique. Seven physiotherapists, ten physiotherapy support workers and ten physiotherapy operational/clinical leads from 13 musculoskeletal physiotherapy services within United Kingdom's National Health Service were recruited through the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy's professional networks and social media. Three separate, role-specific consensus groups were convened, involving participants generating, discussing and rating on a Likert scale, components for inclusion in a future delegation framework. RESULTS: 32 out of 38 generated items reached consensus of ≥70%, i.e. a mean of ≥4.9 on a 7-point Likert scale, across the three groups. Items were grouped under five main categories: 1) training/Continuous Professional Development for physiotherapists and support workers; 2) need for a clear delegation process; 3) competencies 4) defining the role of support workers and 5) safety net. CONCLUSION: Key stakeholder groups were able to reach consensus on five priority areas which will be developed into a best practice framework to standardise delegation and guide physiotherapists when delegating clinical tasks to support workers.

BACKGROUND: Patient education can increase patient engagement and positive outcomes with physical therapy treatment. This study aimed to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of a physical therapy patient education questionnaire. METHODS: Candidate items were developed and evaluated by an expert panel for content validity. The resulting items were administered to 350 patients in physical therapy treatment, and the reliability and validity of the scale's subscales were evaluated. RESULTS: The final version of the questionnaire consists of 36 items that assess six education domains for patients receiving physical therapy: 1) assessment and information provision (10 items), 2) hygiene and safety (9 items), 3) patient empowerment (8 items), 4) emergency and infection control (3 items), 5) adverse event prevention (4 items), and 6) identity confirmation (2 items). The internal consistency of the subscales ranged from 0.69 to 0.92, and support for the six-domain structure of the items was supported via factor analysis. CONCLUSIONS: The questionnaire was successfully developed and evidenced good psychometric properties for the assessment of the perceived importance of six physical therapy education domains. Research is needed to evaluate potential gaps between patients' perceived education needs and therapist education activities during physical therapy treatment.

BACKGROUND: Advanced practice physiotherapy (APP) models of care have shown success in access, safety, satisfaction, and care quality for musculoskeletal pain conditions in various settings. Yet, there is a gap in defining competencies for physiotherapists to be the initial point of contact for people with chronic pain. This study aims to identify and agree upon the competencies necessary for a physiotherapist to fulfill the role of an APP in an interprofessional chronic pain clinic. METHODS: Three focus groups were conducted using a Nominal Group Technique and a modified Delphi process. Consensus on the competency, defined as agreement by ≥ 75% of participants, was sought. RESULTS: Twenty-three experts (17 healthcare providers and six individuals with chronic pain) participated in the focus group discussions. Twenty completed the follow-up Delphi surveys. Ten essential competencies for an APP role in interprofessional chronic pain clinics were identified and achieved consensus: 1) use an evidence-based approach to practice; 2) communicate effectively with the patient; 3) perform a comprehensive assessment; 4) determine pain-related diagnoses; 5) develop therapeutic relationships; 6) provide appropriate care; 7) support patients through transitions in care; 8) collaborate with members of the interprofessional team; 9) advocate for the needs of the patients; and 10) use a reflective approach to practice. CONCLUSION: This study identified ten competencies essential for physiotherapists to fulfill an APP role within interprofessional chronic pain clinics. These competencies serve as a foundation for informing a training program and future research evaluating the effectiveness of the APP model in this setting.

OBJECTIVE: This pilot study aimed to evaluate a training programme for primary care physiotherapists focused on the assessment and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. METHODS: A six-month training programme and toolkit utilising the revised Standards for Quality Improvement Reporting Excellence ('SQUIRE 2.0') guidelines was developed to facilitate the learning of new knowledge and skills in the assessment and management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo following Gagne's model of instructional design. A pre- and post-training knowledge and confidence questionnaire evaluated the impact of the training programme. RESULTS: Eleven participants started the training programme and five completed it. On average, knowledge increased by 54 per cent (range, 41-95 per cent) and confidence increased by 45 per cent (range, 31-76 per cent). A 73 per cent improvement in practical skills acquisition was demonstrated after the initial training session. CONCLUSION: A structured approach to learning demonstrates improvements in knowledge, skills and confidence of physiotherapists in the evidence-based management of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo.

The STarT MSK tool was developed to enable risk stratification of patients with common musculoskeletal (MSK) pain conditions and help identify individuals who may require more targeted interventions or closer monitoring in primary care settings, however, its validity in U.S.-based outpatient physical therapy settings has not been investigated. The 10-item Keele STarT MSK risk stratification tool was tested for construct (convergent and discriminant) and predictive validity using a multicenter, prospective cohort study design. Participants (n = 141) receiving physical therapy for MSK pain of the back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, or multisite regions completed intake questionnaires including the Keele STarT MSK tool, Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI), Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Review-of-Systems and Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag tools. Pain intensity, pain interference, and health-related quality of life (Medical Outcomes Study 8-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-8) physical [PCS] and mental [MCS] component summary scores) were measured at 2- and 6-month follow-up. Participants were classified as STarT MSK tool low (44%), medium (39%), and high (17%) risk. Follow-up rates were 70.2% (2 months) and 49.6% (6 months). For convergent validity, fair relationships were observed between the STarT MSK tool and FCI and SF-8 MCS (r = .35-.37) while moderate-to-good relationships (r = .51-.72) were observed for 7 other clinical measures. For discriminant validity, STarT MSK tool risk-dependent relationships were observed for Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Review-of-Systems, Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome Yellow Flag, pain interference, and SF-8 PCS (low < medium < high; P < .01) and FCI, pain intensity, and SF-8 MCS (low < medium-or-high; P < .01). For predictive validity, intake STarT MSK tool scores explained additional variability in pain intensity (11.2%, 20.0%), pain interference (7.5%, 14.1%), and SF-8 PCS (8.2%, 12.8%) scores at 2 and 6 months, respectively. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing additional evidence of STarT MSK tool cross-sectional construct validity and longitudinal predictive validity. PERSPECTIVE: This study presents STarT MSK risk stratification tool validity findings from a U.S. outpatient physical therapy sample. The STarT MSK tool has the potential to help physical therapists identify individuals presenting with the most common MSK pain conditions who may require more targeted interventions or closer monitoring.

OBJECTIVE: To explore and gain more insight into the usual preoperative and postoperative physical therapy (PT) treatment of patients with a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) among Dutch physical therapists experienced with TKA rehabilitation. Secondly, to evaluate physical therapists' adherence to guideline recommendations for postoperative rehabilitation. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, physical therapists working in primary care within a designated Dutch hospital's catchment area were surveyed online. The survey queried PT treatment approaches before surgery, during hospitalisation, and after surgery. All data were analysed descriptively. When both education and all recommended exercise modalities were used postoperatively, therapists were considered fully adherent with the Dutch clinical practice guideline. RESULTS: One hundred and three therapists participated, representing a response rate of 58%. Postoperative PT treatment was applied by all therapists, of which 65 (63.1%) were fully adherent to the guideline. Partial adherence was mainly due to not using the aerobic exercise modality. Furthermore, beyond the modalities recommended in the guideline, a range of PT interventions were used. Preoperative treatment was applied by 73 therapists (70.9%). These 73 indicated that only a median of 20% (IQR 10%-40%) of their patients received preoperative PT. CONCLUSIONS: This study revealed satisfactory adherence to guideline recommendations on postoperative management of patients with a TKA among experienced physical therapists. Aerobic exercises were utilised less often or with inappropriate intensity. Correct adherence to guideline recommendations on aerobic exercise training can result in more physically active individuals and important general health benefits.

Objective: The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of video-based exercises added to conventional physiotherapy (CPT) on upper extremity functionality, selective motor control, and proprioception in individuals with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP). Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with UCP were randomized into two groups: the intervention group (15 individuals with a mean age of 9.2 ± 3.8 years) and the control group (15 individuals with a mean age of 8.3 ± 4.1 years). The intervention group received 8 weeks of video-based exercises, and the control group received 8 weeks of conventional physiotherapy. Upper extremity functional abilities, upper extremity selective motor control, proprioception, and entertainment levels were evaluated before and after the intervention for all groups. Results: While a significant change was observed in the mean scores of the ABILHAND-Kids, Selective Control of the Upper Extremity Scale right-left scores, shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction, and elbow flexion proprioception angles after the video-based exercises in the intervention group (P < 0.05), a significant change was observed only in the 60-degree flexion angle in the control group (P = 0.001). In the comparison between the groups, there were significant differences in post-intervention value only in shoulder flexion and abduction angles, whereas there was no difference between the groups in elbow flexion angles (P > 0.05). Conclusion: Incorporating video-based exercises into the upper extremity rehabilitation processes of individuals with UCP is beneficial in terms of upper extremity functionality, selective motor control, and proprioception.

Abstract Aim: To analyze whether the proposed physiotherapy protocol during hemodialysis (HD) increases knee extensor muscle strength, palmar grip strength, respiratory muscle strength, lung function, and functional capacity of individuals with Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CRI) on HD. Methods: A preliminary results study, in which physical therapy intervention was performed in 11 subjects (49.2 ± 8.6 years) with CRI on HD treatment. Initially, Heart Rate Variability (HRV) was collected, with the individual at rest, for 15 minutes, and later, HRV linear and non-linear analyses were performed using HRV Kubios Premium Software. The protocol was performed in the first two hours of the HD session, three times a week for eight weeks, consisting of respiratory exercises, aerobic exercises, and electrical stimulation associated with progressive resistive exercises. The variables evaluated were respiratory muscle strength, knee extensor muscle strength, palmar grip strength, lung function, and functional capacity. Student's t-tests for paired samples and Wilcoxon's tests for non-parametric samples were used considering a significance level of 5%. Results: There was a significant increase in expiratory muscle strength (p = 0,012; Cohen's d = 0,59), knee extensor muscle strength (p = 0,025; Cohen's d = 0,77), palmar grip strength (P = 0,001; Cohen's d = 0,52) and functional capacity (P = 0,009; Cohen's d = 0,83). Conclusion: The proposed protocol is effective in increasing knee extensor muscle strength, palmar grip strength, expiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity of individuals with CRI on HD.
