Abstract
The objective was to synthesize outdoor winter walking programs and resources for older adults, identified as a priority by the Winter Walk team comprised of older adults; and researchers and trainees from the rehabilitation and geography sciences. A scoping review of web-based grey literature was conducted. Teams of two reviewers independently assessed eligibility and extracted data. Web-based resources were included if their content dealt with adults ≥65 years of age; an outdoor winter walking program, intervention, or general resource; and was written in English. Twenty-seven website resources were eligible and included in the review. Resources were from Canada or the United States and included information provided by government, non-profit organizations, media and businesses. All resources focused on some aspect of winter walking safety and only one mentioned a winter walking program. Web-based resources for outdoor winter walking were synthesized to assist older adults and clinicians with access to safe outdoor winter walking information.
期刊介绍:
Physiotherapy Canada is the official, scholarly, refereed journal of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), giving direction to excellence in clinical science and reasoning, knowledge translation, therapeutic skills and patient-centred care.
Founded in 1923, Physiotherapy Canada meets the diverse needs of national and international readers and serves as a key repository of inquiries, evidence and advances in the practice of physiotherapy.
Physiotherapy Canada publishes the results of qualitative and quantitative research including systematic reviews, meta analyses, meta syntheses, public/health policy research, clinical practice guidelines, and case reports. Key messages, clinical commentaries, brief reports and book reviews support knowledge translation to clinical practice.
In addition to delivering authoritative, original scientific articles and reports of significant clinical studies, Physiotherapy Canada’s editorials and abstracts are presented in both English and French, expanding the journal’s reach nationally and internationally. Key messages form an integral part of each research article, providing a succinct summary for readers of all levels. This approach also allows readers to quickly get a feel for ‘what is already known’ and ‘what this study adds to’ the subject.
Clinician’s commentaries for key articles assist in bridging research and practice by discussing the article’s impact at the clinical level. The journal also features special themed series which bring readers up to date research supporting evidence-informed practice.
The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is the national professional association representing almost 15,000 members distributed throughout all provinces and territories. CPA’s mission is to provide leadership and direction to the physiotherapy profession, foster excellence in practice, education and research, and promote high standards of health in Canada.
