Digital health has been shown to be effective at promoting PA in several clinical cohorts and monitoring PA in PwP. In addition, PwP have reported positive experiences with using digital health modalities such as smartwatches and telehealth. However, the perspectives of PwP on how best to use digital health to promote PA has yet to be investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate current levels of digital skills in PwP and the perspectives and opinions of PwP on the use of digital health for PA interventions.Methods Eighty-nine PwP living in Ireland completed a cross-sectional questionnaire looking at current levels of PA and self-reported levels of digital skills.Results The majority of participants believed that PA was beneficial for PwP and had a moderate to high level of digital skills. Important factors to consider when constructing a digital health PA intervention included ease of access, low cost, variety of exercises and physical activity options and a feedback function.Conclusion PwP have a moderate to high level of self-reported digital skills.

Quality indicators (QIs) that specify the minimum expected standard of quality in outpatient rehabilitation could contribute to the valuation of the effectiveness of rehabilitation on decision-makers, health professionals, patients, and relatives. This review aims to identify QIs focusing on physiotherapists’ outpatient rehabilitation of stroke patients.Materials and methods The databases Cinahl, Cochrane, Embase, PubMed, and Scopus were searched for publications, and the grey literature was also searched. Through a pragmatic appraisal and assessment with the modified AGREE II-QI instrument, relevant QIs were selected.Results A total of 1129 papers were retrieved, and five papers presenting 91 QIs were included. Thirty-six QIs were considered relevant to physiotherapy in outpatient rehabilitation. The QIs cover structure, process, and outcome and concern basic mobility, spasticity, organisation and content of the training, patient-reported outcome measures, education of patients and relatives, and follow-up and goal setting.Conclusions The study appraised 36 QIs relevant for outpatient rehabilitation of stroke survivors conducted by physiotherapists. A Delphi panel is required to develop the final set of QIs for physiotherapists and, subsequently, the development of a core set of multidisciplinary QIs.Keywords: Modified AGREE II-QI instrumentphysiotherapydelphi panelquality in rehabilitationpost-strokeinternational classification of healthdisabilityfunctioning (ICF) Disclosure statementThe authors report there are no competing interests to declare.Ethical statementThe paper presents a review of the literature and does not involve human participants or identifiable personal information.

Thirty-one (52%) patients were unable to work and 29 (48%) patients were working at the time of assessment. Patient’s age, gender, range of motion, and strength did not have a direct relationship with work status (p > 0.05). Obesity had a negative impact on work status (p = 0.035). Depression (p = 0.001), anxiety (p = 0.002), and the fear avoidance of the Optimal Screening for Prediction of Referral and Outcome (OSPRO-YF) scale (p = 0.019) showed higher levels of psychosocial issues in the non-working sample.

Correlations were conducted to examine the relationship between upper limb strength and PUL scores.Results The grip strength assessment was feasible for all participants, while the complete strength testing protocol was feasible for nine, excluding two individuals with non-ambulatory mobility. Significant correlations were found between overall upper limb strength and total PUL scores (rs = 0.742, p = 0.022), grip strength and distal PUL scores (rs=0.733, p = 0.010), shoulder abduction strength and PUL shoulder scores (rs=0.905, p = 0.005), and grip strength and overall PUL scores (rs=0.794, p = 0.004). The middle-level correlation was not statistically significant (rs=0.590, p = 0.094).Conclusion The established strength test protocol demonstrated feasibility among ambulatory participants. However, alternative approaches are essential for those with limited ambulation. The study identified a robust correlation between upper limb strength and functional abilities. Further extensive studies are required to validate these findings.Trial registration The present study is a part of a longitudinal intervention study registered at the ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03963453).","PeriodicalId":45694,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135825647","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}
