The muscular component must be prepared for a better performance in motor tasks, reason why the application of Kinesio Taping™ band appears as an intervention to consider, so the aim of this study is to analyze the effect of the Kinesio Taping™ method on the balance of a senior group. A sample of 28 subjects was divided into 2 groups: a control group (CG) and an experimental group (EG). The balance was assessed using two scales: The Time-UP & Go Test (TUG) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). At first, individuals from both groups were assessed using both Scales. Subsequently, to the individuals belonging to EG, the Kinesio Taping™ method was applied (KT™), in the anterior tibial and peroneal in both lower limbs in CG KT™ was applied as a placebo. A day later, in a second visit, the performance of both groups was again evaluated using the mentioned scales. In CG, no statistically significant differences were observed in between testing days, (TUG day 1 vs TUG day 2: p = 0.842); (BBS day 1 vs BBS day 2: p = 0.157). On the other hand, statistically significant differences were observed in the experimental group, where TUG performance was faster after KT™ (p = 0.001) and BBS was higher (p = 0.002). The results demonstrate that the Kinesio Taping™ application had positive effects on balance and these results could help the prevention of falls in the elderly.","PeriodicalId":38170,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45990699","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}

The purpose of this study was to identify and categorise the pre-qualification content of respiratory physiotherapy curricula across the island of Ireland. METHODS: This cross-sectional survey was conducted remotely and eight respiratory module coordinators/teaching leads participated. Respiratory physiotherapy curricular topics and assessment details from each participating institution were documented. Curricular topics were then grouped and categorised into discrete broader curricular topic areas by agreement. A representative from each higher education institution rated the curricular topic from their programme as ‘foundation’, ‘core’, ‘not essential but desirable’ or ‘broadly relevant’. Assessment strategies for each programme were documented. RESULTS: From 246 individual topics, seven broad category areas were generated which were operationally defined and divided into 41 content topics. Of the content topics 18 out of 41 (44%) topics were unanimously rated as core to the respiratory module by each participating programme. A diverse range of assessment strategies were employed across programmes with all including written and practical components. CONCLUSION: Between programmes and institutions, there was a reasonably high degree of overlap of the respiratory physiotherapy topic areas which are delivered within or outside of core respiratory modules. Content appears to be broadly standardised and appears to support the preparedness of graduates for practice in this area. The identification of ‘core’ respiratory topics in this study may be useful for the design of new respiratory physiotherapy modules or ongoing curricular review.","PeriodicalId":38170,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45834922","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 case study aimed to investigate the feasibility and outcomes of an online, remotely supervised one to one pilates class, once a week for 6 weeks with a post stroke patient. Outcomes measured included gait and balance through the “Timed Up and Go (TUG)” test, the “Five Times Sit to Stand (5TSTS)” test, the “Activities specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale” and the “Tinetti” balance and gait assessment. Quality of life was also measured by the “Stroke Specific Quality of Life (SSQOL)” Scale and muscle tone was measured through use of the “Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)”. Feasibility was assessed qualitatively based on information gathered from the client satisfaction questionnaire and the patient’s tolerance of the programme. Results demonstrated that the patient enjoyed and tolerated the programme well with modifications and that he would prefer online exercise training over face to face in the future. The patient improved his TUG score and his SSQOL score beyond the minimal detectable change. Smaller improvements were also seen in the 5TSTS test, the ABC scale and the Tinetti assessment. Mixed results were seen for muscle tone. Typical neuropilates exercise sets for post stroke patients in standing and seated positions are given as well as advice and protocols for ensuring high levels of safety with online exercising.","PeriodicalId":38170,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48176804","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}

Strategies to optimise health-related quality of life and minimise symptom impact are advocated. Available treatment options such as pulmonary rehabilitation have been severely disrupted due to COVID-19. This feasibility study explored the clinical efficacy and acceptability of an online singing and breathing retraining programme (SingStrong) for people with PF. METHODS: The weekly online programme conducted over 12 weeks was comprised of 45-minute classes of mindfulness, breathing retraining, vocal exercises and singing conducted by a trained vocal coach. People with PF were invited to participate and sessions were recorded for non-attenders. Demographic data were collected, and the St Georges Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and Idiopathic PF Patient Reported Outcome measure (IPF-PROM) were administered. The questionnaire also invited participants to provide feedback on the utility, enjoyability and main pros/cons of the intervention. Participation in the research element of the programme was not required to attend the weekly classes. RESULTS: Of 24 participants recruited, data from 15 (mean (Standard Deviation) age of 66 (8.7); male: n = 8) who completed both pre and post-intervention questionnaires were analysed. Statistically significant improvements were recorded in the IPF-PROM (p = 0.019) and self-reported quality of life (p = 0.028). Class attendance by study participants and the broader PF group cumulatively, increased from 14 to 25 participants between weeks 1 and 12. Qualitatively, strong satisfaction with classes and improved efficacy in self-management of lung health, in particular breathlessness, were reported. CONCLUSIONS: Singing and breathing retraining interventions may endow biopsychosocial benefits for people with PF, in the presence of modest objective clinical gains. Singing programmes are popular and may provide helpful adjuncts to existing clinical strategies such as pulmonary rehabilitation.","PeriodicalId":38170,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44450099","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}

Symptomatic hypermobility is a term that can be used when symptoms are thought to be associated with JH. Children and young people with symptomatic hypermobility complain of musculoskeletal symptoms but also may report symptoms from other domains including gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, psychological, and urogenital. Many of these symptoms are not included in formal diagnostic criteria yet may impact negatively on their quality of life. The pattern of these symptoms changes with age. PURPOSE: To map the literature on clinical characteristics of symptomatic hypermobility in an age and developmental context, to improve our understanding and assist in the clinical assessment of children and young people with symptomatic hypermobility. METHODS: This systematic scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) methodology. Studies that include children and young people from birth to 24 years with a confirmed diagnosis of symptomatic hypermobility, HSD or hEDS using internationally recognised criteria or equivalent diagnoses will be included. Data extraction and analysis will be undertaken using an iterative process. DISCUSSION: Mapping and synthesis of the data will be carried out and gaps and limitations in the literature will be acknowledged. Results will be disseminated in a peer reviewed journal. The search strategy will be made available publicly for transparency.","PeriodicalId":38170,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44747206","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}

OBJECTIVE: To determine the differences in terms of PS, fall risk and sensory integration of balance in persons with discogenic LBP as compared to healthy controls. METHODS: A cross sectional comparative study was conducted on 60 participants, out of which 30 had discogenic LBP and 30 were healthy controls. The variables of interest included PS, fall risk score (FRS) and clinical test of sensory integration of balance (CTSIB), and the data was collected using Biodex Balance SystemTM SD, with higher scores signifying poorer outcomes. RESULTS: Persons with discogenic LBP scored significantly (p < 0.05) higher in terms of overall PS index [Mean difference = 2.33 (95% CI 1.38, 3.28)], anteroposterior PS index [Mean difference = 1.87 (95% CI 0.84, 2.90)] and mediolateral PS index [Mean difference = 0.82 (95% CI 0.43, 1.21)], FRS [Mean difference = 2.92 (95% CI 2.36, 4.8)] and CTSIB [Mean difference = 1.67 (95% CI 1.28, 2.06)] as compared to healthy controls. Both healthy controls and persons with discogenic LBP revealed higher anteroposterior postural stability index as compared to mediolateral postural stability index (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Persons with discogenic low back pain exhibit greater risk of fall and poorer postural stability and sensory integration of balance as compared to healthy controls. It is suggested that fall risk, postural stability and sensory integration of balance should be considered as outcome measures in clinical management of such patients.","PeriodicalId":38170,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Practice and Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48953508","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}

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned to either an 8-week (24 sessions) cardiac rehabilitation (CR) program, 4 to 6 weeks after aortic root replacement using the Bentall procedure, or to an age- and sex-matched control group undertaking no structured exercise. Physical function (via exercise treadmill test (ETT)) and psychological wellbeing (assessed via DASS-21 and SF36) were assessed before and following 8-weeks of CR. RESULTS: 30 patients (15 in the control (mean age: 37±10 years) and 15 in the intervention group (mean age: 38±11 years)) completed the 8-week CR programme and no adverse events were reported over the intervention period. In the CR group, all sub-components of the SF-36 and DASS-21 increased (all P < 0.05), showing an overall improvement in psychological wellbeing following the intervention.

METHODS: This study was a secondary analysis based on data from a randomized controlled study. The study involved patients with chronic WAD reporting their disability using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). FHP was measured with a goniometer. Analyses of correlations and logistic regressions were performed controlling for age, gender, duration of symptoms, WAD-grade (the Quebec Task Force on Whiplash-Associated Disorders classification), bodily pain (the Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36) and kinesiophobia, an irrational fear of physical movement and activity (the Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-SV). RESULTS: The inclusion criteria was fulfilled by 113 patients (81 women, 32 men). Mean age 48.1 years. Mean duration of symptoms 9.7 years. There was no significant correlation between FHP and neck pain disability (rs = 0.004, p = 0.968). A logistic regression analysis showed no significance for FHP neither with (p = 0.418) nor without (p = 0.991) control for age, gender, duration of symptoms, WAD-grade, kinesiophobia and bodily pain. In the multiple model kinesiophobia (p = 0.013) and bodily pain (p = < 0.001) were the only significant predictors. Kinesiophobia was also significantly correlated with both neck pain disability (rs = 0.467, p < 0.001) and FHP (rs = 0.202, p = 0.047), thus being a confounder to the possible correlation between these variables. CONCLUSIONS: There is no significant correlation between neck pain disability and FHP for patients with chronic WAD.

METHODS: A sample of Thirty five patients (35.5±3.29 years) who underwent mitral valve replacement. Spirometric parameters were measured before and after intervention including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC). All participants had received postoperative Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) from the first day in the inpatient unit after discharge from intensive care unit till hospital discharge. Paired t-test was used to investigate differences between means of pulmonary function measures (P < 0.05). Effect size was calculated and post hoc power analysis was performed. RESULTS: After one week of postoperative IMT there was a statistically significant improvement in the studied spirometric parameters (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC) (p = 0.01). All studied spirometric parameters showed very large effect size (d >0.8). The post hoc power analysis revealed that the study power was more than 90% .
