To enhance trustworthiness and transparency of findings, a third researcher reviewed final themes.ResultsThree main themes emerged with 3-4 relevant sub-themes. The first theme was clinicians' knowledge. Participants were aware of exercise recommendations within the clinical stroke guidelines, but their knowledge of the content of the recommendations, and the stroke-integrated cardiac rehabilitation programme, varied. The second theme was clinicians' attitudes and beliefs towards the stroke-integrated cardiac rehabilitation programme. All participants described exercise as being important and believed the stroke-integrated cardiac rehabilitation programme was a good idea. However, clinicians highlighted numerous barriers and suggested programme adaptations (third theme) to the stroke-integrated cardiac rehabilitation programme. Increased awareness of the stroke-integrated cardiac rehabilitation programme, and a more flexible and adaptable programme, may enhance future implementation.ConclusionClinicians believed the stroke-integrated cardiac rehabilitation programme was important and had clinical utility.

Questions also explored factors influencing adherence to care during and after physiotherapy. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed thematically.ResultsFourteen patients participated. Five key themes emerged: (a) navigating pain and management strategies; (b) adapting daily life and the impact of knee osteoarthritis on activities; (c) complexities of treatment and the need for personalised care; (d) the role of exercise and mobility; and (e) barriers to access and resources. While patients reported receiving various physiotherapy interventions, gaps were noted in aquatic therapy, neuromuscular training, weight management, and assistive devices. Barriers included limited access, financial constraints, and lack of home exercise equipment.

Patient factors and clinical resources impact on the provision of therapy post-stroke. Overall, participants felt positive about the recent guideline recommendation for increased therapeutic time. Various methods are employed to augment patient therapeutic time, including technology and semi-supervised practice. Participants perceived that Therapy Assistants play an important role in achieving greater amounts of therapy.ConclusionsAllied health professionals view the new Stroke Guidelines recommendation for increased therapy intensity as challenging but are generally positive in trying to achieve it, citing the benefits of increased therapy time for patient outcomes.

Two authors independently selected relevant studies, extracted data, assessed risk of bias (RoB2 tool), and rated evidence quality. Meta-analysis was performed using random-effects models due to expected heterogeneity. The study was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020216739).ResultsOverall, 20 studies with 953 patients met the inclusion criteria. Cervical lateral glide reduced pain compared to no treatment (3 studies, MD -2.47; 95%CI: -3.41, -1.53; <i>P</i> < .001) and other physical therapy techniques (2 studies, MD -1.29; 95%CI: -2.54, -0.05; <i>P</i> = .04). Median nerve neural mobilisation also reduced pain compared to no treatment (4 studies, MD -3.07; 95%CI: -3.78, -2.37; <i>P</i> < .001).
