{"title":"Prescription of therapeutic exercise for chronic low back pain management: a narrative review","authors":"G. Shankar Ganesh, Abdur Raheem Khan, Sakti Das, Ashfaque Khan","doi":"10.1186/s43161-023-00156-5","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s43161-023-00156-5","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Background The results of recent systematic reviews have concluded that most exercise types are more effective than minimal treatment for improving outcomes in the management of non-specific chronic low back pain. However, exercise prescriptions are criticised for being prescribed without a clear rationale and with a high level of uncertainty. The preferred mode of exercise in this population is not outlined in clinical guidelines. The objective of this review is to describe the indications and dosimetry for the most common exercise interventions prescribed. Methods Literature was sourced from searches of MEDLINE, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and PEDro databases until October 2021 using descriptors related to pain, exercise, and prescription, totaling 33 articles that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The first author independently selected studies and extracted data on study characteristics of interest. Any doubts were resolved through discussion with the other reviewers. Results The results of the review showed that a baseline assessment comprising the patient’s pain, thoughts, beliefs, and behaviours concerning physical activity or exercises may be undertaken, and specific exercises may be prescribed based on the indication to reduce pain, allay fear, or re-educate neuromotor control. Conclusion Based on the heterogeneity in the understanding, administration, and progression of exercises and the sub-optimal or poor reporting of exercise prescriptions or dosages and outcomes reported, we conclude that it may not be possible to synthesise any evidence to inform precision exercise prescription for CLBP. Future studies should be of higher quality for the development of effective exercise programmes.","PeriodicalId":34220,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy","volume":"69 12","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136282142","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}

{"title":"Women’s knowledge of physiotherapy during pregnancy: a mixed study","authors":"Naomi Wanjiru Kingau, Martin Dagala","doi":"10.1186/s43161-023-00157-4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s43161-023-00157-4","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Background Many women may not be aware of physiotherapy in pregnancy. The objective of this study was to assess the level of awareness of physiotherapy in pregnancy among pregnant women in the Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital (KTRH), Kenya. Methods A mixed study was conducted on ANC mothers, ANC nurses, and physiotherapists. Consecutive sampling was employed for the quantitative study (101 participants) and a purposive sample of 15 participants for the qualitative study. Questionnaire and interview guides were utilized for data collection. SPSS version 27 was applied for quantitative data analysis, while thematic content approach analyzed qualitative data. Results One hundred one ANC mothers participated in the study; the mean age was 27.3 year. Forty percent ( n = 40) had attained high school education; 54% ( n = 55) lived in the urban area. Seventy-five percent ( n = 76) were knowledgeable on the significance of antenatal care; however, only 27% ( n = 27) attended the first ANC visit, and the numbers tapered with subsequent visits to 2% ( n = 2) for the 6th visit. Eighty-five percent ( n = 86) did not know about physiotherapy during pregnancy, while a meager 15% ( n = 15) pregnant women had knowledge regarding physiotherapy in pregnancy. Fifty-three percent of pregnant women had no source of knowledge about physiotherapy; 22% experienced LBP as a complication during the pregnancy that would be managed by physiotherapy. Interviews elicited three themes which highlighted low knowledge of physiotherapy in pregnancy, low uptake of ANC, and the challenges facing physiotherapy education program in ANC. Conclusion There was low knowledge on physiotherapy among ANC mothers despite the need for this service. Low education levels and staff shortage came out strongly as the main challenges. Programs should be instituted to empower women with lower educational status to seek for apt knowledge on all relevant services during ANC. Likewise, the government should improve staff establishment in public hospitals to facilitate ANC educational programs for healthcare providers and mothers.","PeriodicalId":34220,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy","volume":"167 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135480062","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}

This study aimed to characterize physiotherapy practice and treatment preferences, educational qualifications, and research in Nigeria, with a view of providing vital information for transnational integration and collaboration. Methods A cross-sectional survey of 104 Nigerian physiotherapists was conducted. The Physical Therapy Practice Questionnaire and a self-developed proforma were used as survey tools. Results The mean age of respondents was 33.5 ± 9.4 years. About two-fifth of all respondents (39.4%) had an MSc and mostly practice as clinicians (51.0%) in teaching hospitals (34.6%). The respondents were mostly involved in general practice (50.0%), with a caseload of 1–10 patients per day (67.3%). Soft tissue mobilization (83%), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (76%), breathing exercises (77%), and transcutaneous electrical neuromuscular stimulation (83%) were commonly used. Respondents were familiar databases and evidence-based resources (81.2%) and mostly utilize PubMed (73.3%). Regular case conferences with professional colleagues (47.6%) and treatment planning of between 11 and 30 min (40.6%) were common. Educators spend 1–3 h planning educational work (91.8%). Clinical decision-making is mostly based on professional experience, while journals are the primary resource for educational information. Conclusion Physiotherapy practice in Nigeria is degree based and requires registration board’s licensure. Practitioners deal with a high caseload and utilize a wide range of techniques and modalities and have tendencies to utilize personal experience and research in making clinical decisions. The parity in education and practice with advanced climes inadvertently gives physiotherapy practice in Nigeria a global purview.","PeriodicalId":34220,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Faculty of Physical Therapy","volume":"128 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135539446","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}
