Fifteen chronic stroke survivors and five physical therapists participated in the data collection for four weeks. \u0000\u0000Results: Results suggested that stroke survivors and physical therapists are strongly satisfied with the application. In terms of compliance in exercise performance, the stroke respondents were described as compliant and fully compliant in the blood pressure monitoring. The quality of life and the feasibility of the application as part of the blended rehabilitation program have also been found to be effective. \u0000\u0000Discussion: Physical therapists recommend this application as a partner in treating chronic stroke survivors. It will serve as a benchmark in revolutionizing Physical therapy telerehabilitation in the Philippines and integrate the use of a mobile application as part of the intervention. It is recommended for future studies to have more participants and more extended time to improve the analysis.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131409054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two reviewers independently conducted title, abstract, and full-text screening for each study. Disagreements in the screening and study selection phases were resolved through consensus. Data pertaining to the contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes (CMO) of university-based physical activity programs were extracted and analyzed using descriptive statistics. Content analysis was also conducted to inform the CMO configurations. \u0000Results: The search identified a total of 6219 records, of which 16 programs contributed to data synthesis. Eight CMO statements were created with the following key themes: 1) tailored and individualized interventions, 2) medium-term incentivization, 3) lifestyle education programs utilizing information and communications technology, 4) interdisciplinary multicomponent programs, 5) use of self-monitoring strategies, 6) social support, 7) shared experiences among employees and students, and 8) theory-based physical activity programs. Analysis of the mechanisms of these effective university-based physical activity programs revealed processes and structures that were consistent with the elements of the Health Belief Model. \u0000Discussion: The results of this review demonstrate that effective university wellness programs on physical activity are those that address elements of behavior change.

The main difficulty is identifying adequate time allocation for safe patient service within an eighthour working time frame. At a selected tertiary teaching government-run hospital, an arbitrary personnel-population ratio method is used for human resource allocation which may lead to issues in service delivery and healthcare workforce wellness. Apart from patient care, physical therapists also assume nonclinical roles revolving on administration, clinical education, and research. This highlights the importance of identifying the duration of tasks to assess work efficiency and manage time constraints posed by the limitations of the work shift. Practice guidelines may help improve staff workload scheduling, however, there is a lack of available guidelines regarding physical therapy practice in the hospital or acute care setting for developing countries. The purpose of this study was to determine the duration of care for inpatients with musculoskeletal and neurological conditions and administrative tasks, and to determine the relationship of duration of care with months of experience. \u0000Methods: A continuous observation time motion study of a typical workday of all physical therapists in an in-patient setting of a tertiary teaching hospital was conducted. An external observer will time the tasks done by the PT. The external observer kept distance from the direct patient encounter to minimize interference that may affect timing. Patients with conditions of different etiologies and functional levels were included. \u0000Results: Nineteen physical therapists with a mean experience of 54.53 months were observed. There were no adverse events during the implementation of this study. The total mean time in minutes of management of neurological patients is 37:32, and musculoskeletal patients is 28:30, respectively. Time for administrative tasks took an average of 20:33 minutes. There was also a low positive correlation on months of experience and treatment duration for patients with neurologic conditions (p = 0.0471). Results showed that the allocated treatment duration is determined to be sufficient for performing PT activities. The optimal number of patients to be decked can also be appropriately determined to optimize resource allocation. \u0000Discussion: Our pilot study attempted to quantify the duration of PT care in an inpatient setting that caters to patients with different diagnosis and varying needs for PT management. Although a weak to insignificant correlation was seen in most of the variables, there may be some benefit in gathering more duration data across different acute care settings within the country.

Exergaming utilizes an electronic device to allow participants to play a video game requiring physical movement while simultaneously receiving performance feedback on a monitor. Although potential sources of musculoskeletal risks may be present, evidence concerning musculoskeletal risks associated with exergaming is limited. The purpose of this study is to explore the body segments associated with musculoskeletal risk in exergaming among adults using the REBA tool and to assess the degree of musculoskeletal risk present using the participant’s demographic data in conjunction with REBA tool scores. \u0000Methods: An observational, analytic cross-sectional study design was utilized. Participants from the community who had exergaming as part of their PT management were recruited. Included participants were observed and assessed for 15 minutes using Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) while performing exergaming with either Aerobic or Balance exercises. Demographic characteristics were analyzed descriptively while spearman’s correlation was utilized to explore the relationship between the REBA final score and subscales. \u0000Results: Twenty-four participants with mean age (±SD) of 27.13 (9.57) were recruited (14 (58%) female & 10 (42%) male). The Mean REBA score is 5.38. Significant correlations were found between the final REBA score and Upper arm (rs = 0.80, p < 0.001), Arm + Wrist (rs= 0.68, p = < 0.001), and Table C-partial REBA score (rs= 0.84, p = < 0.001). Demographic variables and the final REBA score were not significantly correlated. \u0000Discussion: Moderate risk is observed in balance and aerobic exercises during exergaming which warrants further investigations. Decreasing Upper arm and Arm + Wrist arm scores may decrease the final REBA score as these scores possess greater weight due to the correlation between the scores and the final REBA score. Exergaming remains a possible alternative for simulating activities and exercises as it allows for a consistent and controlled environment while presenting with great potential to reduce the level of musculoskeletal disease risk.","PeriodicalId":156633,"journal":{"name":"Philippine Journal of Physical Therapy","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126581214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
