We aimed to study if a large difference between two common, routine physical therapy assessments (timed up-and-go [TUG] test and 10-metre walk test [10MWT]) could identify patients with subtle cognitive difficulties post-stroke. Method: An observational study was conducted in 141 individuals admitted to acute in-patient rehabilitation after stroke. We computed the per cent difference between TUG and 10MWT performance. Cognitive outcome measures were the trail making tests A and B (TMT-A and TMT-B) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM)-cognition subscale. Linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate if the difference between TUG and 10MWT was associated with cognitive functioning. Results: After adjusting for covariates, there was no significant linear association between TUG-10MWT discrepancy and cognition; however, stroke patients with the largest difference between TUG and 10MWT (highest quartile of scores) exhibited significantly worse attention on the TMT-A (adjusted odds ratio = 2.46, p = 0.04). Conclusions: A large difference between TUG and 10MWT may reflect deficits in complex sustained attention in individuals with stroke. Physical therapy staff may use this difference score to identify patients with potential cognitive deficits and refer them for comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation.","PeriodicalId":54606,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Canada","volume":" ","pages":"42-49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12392819/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43891992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pelvic health physiotherapy education is not standardized in Canada, which may lead to diverse experiences. The purpose of this study was to explore the education and practice experiences of pelvic health physiotherapists in Canada. Method: This descriptive qualitative study used semi-structured interviews with physiotherapists providing pelvic health services in Canada and a reflexive thematic analysis approach. Results: Based on interviews with 20 pelvic health physiotherapists (19 women and one man) from six provinces, we identified four themes: the right fit, managing vulnerability, the holistic nature of pelvic health physiotherapy, and entering pelvic health physiotherapy requires thoughtful consideration. Participants described pelvic health physiotherapy as the right fit for themselves personally and professionally. The clinical practice involved managing their patients' and their own vulnerability and taking a holistic and biopsychosocial approach to treating patients with pelvic health conditions. Participants described the importance of mentorship and a supportive clinical environment when entering the field. Conclusions: This study provides an understanding of pelvic health physiotherapists' experiences, which can help to guide the advancement of pelvic health physiotherapy education and practice supports in Canada.","PeriodicalId":54606,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Canada","volume":" ","pages":"50-58"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12392832/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41986522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: Following usability testing with clinicians in BC and Quebec, we recruited rehabilitation clinicians across Canada to complete the online survey. Respondents rated adherence (past 3 months), importance, and feasibility for 10 QIs. We resent the survey 2-3 weeks later (test-retest reliability). Results: Based on usability testing, we made minor changes in wording, altered response options, and created a French language version. In total, 238 clinicians completed all or parts of the English (n = 123) and French (n = 115) questionnaires. Respondents mostly practised in the public sector (88%) and outpatient settings (42%). On average, clinicians met (\"always\" or \"often\" response) 23.3% (SD 13.7%, 95% CI: 21.1, 25.4) of THR and 25.5% (SD 15.1%, 95% CI: 23.0, 27.9) of TKR indicators. There were mixed views on the importance and feasibility of the QIs. Varied rehabilitation formats, duration, and dosage were described. Conclusions: Canadian rehabilitation clinicians report low overall adherence to THR and TKR rehabilitation QIs and differing rehabilitation approaches and models of care.","PeriodicalId":54606,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Canada","volume":" ","pages":"28-41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12392814/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46790680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: A scoping review was used to identify knowledge/skill areas relevant to physiotherapy intensive care unit (ICU) practice and develop a survey questionnaire. Physiotherapists rated the relevance of each survey item for practice in the ICU, as well as their knowledge about each item. Descriptive statistics summarized the responses. A statistically based algorithm was used to identify highly relevant items where the level of knowledge/skill was relatively low. Experienced physiotherapists were consulted to agree on the items that should be included. The process was repeated in three additional ICUs to validate the selected items. Results: A total of 238 items, identified from 40 articles, were included in the survey and rated by physiotherapists. From survey results, a statistical-based algorithm identified 113 important topic areas for inclusion (47.48%). A modified triage technique was used to further reduce the selected areas to 90 topics. The validation process further refined the topics to 94 topics along with 13 additional site-specific topic areas. Conclusions: Topics identified in this study will inform the development of a physical therapy critical care learning needs assessment tool. Our survey tool and methodological approach could guide the development of hospital-specific learning needs assessment tools in other clinical settings.","PeriodicalId":54606,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Canada","volume":"77 1","pages":"122-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12392835/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145082436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Method: We invited individuals involved with the Together in Movement and Exercise (TIME™) programme in 48 centres to participate in a cross-sectional survey. TIME™ is a group, task-oriented CBEP-HCP taught by fitness instructors; health care partners promote referrals. Data were summarized using frequencies and percentages. Content analysis was used for open-ended questions. Results: Twenty-three representatives of 27 TIME™ programmes (56% response rate) participated. Out of 26 health care partners identified, 69% were physical therapists. We report the most common findings: programmes received referrals from physical therapists (16, 70%); programmes gave health care partners promotional materials (e.g., flyers) to facilitate referrals (n = 17, 63%); strong relationships with health care partners facilitated promotion (n = 18, 78%); and representatives perceived their lack of credibility challenged promotion (n = 3, 23%). Conclusions: Physical therapists were the most common referral source. Health Care partners were instrumental in programme promotion. Future research is needed to leverage referrals from physical therapists in settings other than hospitals and to better understand the role of health care partners in CBEP-HCPs.","PeriodicalId":54606,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Canada","volume":" ","pages":"18-27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12392838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44227658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
