Using mental practice in stroke rehabilitation: a framework
Braun, S., Kleynen, M., Schols, J., Schack, T., Beurskens, A., Wade, D. Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0000
Introduction: Motor imagery and mental practice are getting increased attention in neurological rehabilitation. Several different mental practice intervention protocols have been used in studies on its effect on recovery in stroke rehabilitation. The content of the intervention protocols itself is rarely discussed or questioned.Objective: To give a practical framework of how mental practice could be integrated into therapy, drawing on available evidence and theory. The aim of the treatment programme described is to enhance both the patient's physical performance and their empowerment and self-determination.The framework: Based on evidence from sports rehabilitation and our own experiences the framework will eventually be evaluated in a randomized controlled trial. Five steps are described to teach and upgrade the patient's imagery technique: (1) assess mental capacity to learn imagery technique; (2) establish the nature of mental practice; (3) teach imagery technique; (4) embed and monitor imagery technique; (5) develop self-generated treatments. The description is not, however, a recipe that should be followed precisely. It leaves enough room to tailor the mental practice intervention to the specific individual possibilities, skills and needs of the patient in accordance with evidence-based practice.Discussion: Different aspects of the described protocol are discussed and compared with experiences from sports and evidence available in rehabilitation.
Strength training and stretching versus stretching only in the treatment of patients with chronic neck pain: a randomized one-year follow-up study
Hakkinen, A., Kautiainen, H., Hannonen, P., Ylinen, J. Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0000
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of a 12-month home-based combined strength training and stretching programme against stretching alone in the treatment of chronic neck pain.Design: A randomized follow-up study.Participants: One hundred and one patients with chronic non-specific neck pain were randomized in two groups.Intervention: The strength training and stretching group was supported by 10 group training sessions and the stretching group was instructed to perform stretching exercises only as instructed in one group session.Main outcome measurements: Neck pain, disability, neck muscle strength and mobility of cervical spine were measured before and after the intervention.Results: No significant differences in improvement in neck pain and disability were found between the two training groups. Mean (SD) pain decreased from 64 (17) mm by 37 (95% confidence interval (CI) 44 to 30) mm in the strength training and stretching group, and from 60 (17) mm by 32 (39 to 25) mm in the stretching group. The improvements in disability were significant in both groups (P<0.001), while the changes in neck strength and mobility were minor. Training adherence decreased over time from the targeted three sessions a week, ending up at 1.1 (0.7) times a week for strength training and stretching group and 1.4 (0.8) times a week for stretching group.Conclusions: No statistically significant differences in neck pain and disability were observed between the two home-based training regimens. Combined strength training and stretching or stretching only were probably as effective in achieving a long-term improvement although the training adherence was rather low most of the time.
An alternative approach to treating lateral epicondylitis. A randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study
Reza Nourbakhsh, M., Fearon, F. J Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 -0000
Objective: To investigate the effect of noxious level electrical stimulation on pain, grip strength and functional abilities in subjects with chronic lateral epicondylitis.Design: Randomized, placebo-control, double-blinded study.Setting: Physical Therapy Department, North Georgia College and State University.Subjects: Eighteen subjects with chronic lateral epicondylitis between the ages of 24 and 72 years participated in this study. Subjects were randomly assigned into treatment or placebo groups.Interventions: Subjects received six sessions of low-frequency electrical stimulation over the palpated tender points. The intensity of electrical stimulation was set at 0 in the placebo group.Main measurements: Grip strength, functional status, pain intensity and limited activity due to pain were assessed before and after treatment. Six-month follow-up data were collected in treatment group only.Results: Both clinically and statistically significant improvements in average grip strength were found (treatment group: 28% increase; placebo group: 2.5% decrease; P=0.04), functional activity (treatment group: 110% increase; placebo group: 22% increase; P= 0.003), pain intensity (treatment group: 3.1 point decrease; placebo group: 0.2 point increase; P=0.01) and activity limitation due to pain (treatment group: 4.1 points increase; placebo group: 1.9 point decrease; P= 0.003) between the treatment and placebo groups. Follow-up data showed that 100% of subjects maintained the improved function, and 83% remained pain-free for at least six months post treatment.Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that symptoms of chronic lateral epicondylitis could be effectively treated by noxious level low-frequency electrical stimulation.

Shifting sands: assessing the balance between public, private not-for-profit and private for-profit physical therapy delivery in Ontario, Canada
Michel D. Landry, A. Paul Williams, Molly C. Verrier, Paul Holyoke, David Zakus, Raisa B. Deber Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:03:00 -0000
Background and Purpose. The vast majority of health services within Canada's single payer universal health care system are publicly funded. Despite the highly political and controversial emphasis placed on public funding, the structure of delivery within this health care system does not require public ownership. In this research, we developed a conceptual framework for analysing the public and private mix of physical therapy (PT) delivery in the province of Ontario. We then applied this framework to examine the shifts in employment structure of physical therapists (PTs) in Ontario. Methods. A two-phased health policy case study methodology was used. In the first phase, we reviewed publicly available documents and conducted a series of 30 key informant interviews in order to develop our framework. In the second phase, we applied the framework and performed secondary analysis of the provincial PT registration database to assess change in practice setting between 1996 and 2002. Results. We identified nine models of delivery that fall into three categories of ownership structure: (a) public; (b) private not-for-profit; and (c) private for-profit. During the six-year period between 1996 and 2002, the relative proportion of PTs employed in the not-for-profit sector decreased (from 59.6% to 54.8%) whereas the share in the for-profit sector grew (from 40.4% to 45.2%). Conclusions. The shifting balance in the structure of delivery may be transforming how PT services are provided in the province. Private for-profit providers appear to be increasing their market share; however, the outcomes relative to this shift has yet to be fully explored. Further policy and health services research is warranted to more fully understand the consequences of this shift on variables such as professional autonomy, access, cost and quality of services across Canada, but also within similar and dissimilar international jurisdictions.

The availability and usage frequency of real time ultrasound by physiotherapists in South Australia: an observational study
A. Jedrzejczak, L.S. Chipchase Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:01:00 -0000
Background and Purpose. Real time ultrasound (RTUS) is an emerging imaging modality in physiotherapy. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it is being used as an assessment and biofeedback tool for various deep core stabilizing muscles. However, how and why physiotherapists use RTUS in the clinical setting has not yet been reported. Therefore, this study aimed to establish the availability and usage frequency of RTUS by physiotherapists in South Australia. In addition, the study aimed to describe how physiotherapists were using RTUS and how they were educated in its use. Method. A questionnaire was developed and mailed to all physiotherapists registered with the Physiotherapy Board of South Australia (n = 1328) between February and March 2007. Results. A response rate of 50% was achieved with 664 completed usable questionnaires returned. At the current time, only a small proportion of respondents used RTUS (11.6%), while slightly more had access to a machine (19.4%). RTUS was used most commonly for assessment (88.3%) and biofeedback (87.0%) of the abdominal (94.7%), pelvic floor (72.7%) and multifidus (54.5%) muscles. Of all respondents, 26.7% had trained in its use with most completing two hours or less of training. Conclusions. This is the first published study to describe how and why physiotherapists are using RTUS in clinical practice. RTUS appears to be a relatively uncommon modality potentially limited by insufficient access to equipment and educational opportunities. The findings highlight a greater need for education and training in the use of RTUS for physiotherapy practice. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Knowledge, attitude and willingness of Nigerian physiotherapists to provide care for patients living with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
Adetoyeje Oyeyemi, Adewale Oyeyemi, Alfred Abegunde Fri, 11 Jul 2008 03:56:00 -0000
Background and Purpose. Adequate knowledge, positive attitude, and willingness to provide services are important factors in rendering competent and compassionate care to patients living with Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Inadequate knowledge and poor attitude could exclude the application of the principles of logic and scientific methods to the practice of physiotherapy, and could result in fragmented care, with a potentially negative impact on treatment outcome and patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was (1) to investigate the Nigerian physiotherapists' global knowledge, attitude and willingness to provide care for patients living with AIDS (PLWA), and to (2) determine the relationship between socio-demographic variables and previous encounter with PLWA, and physiotherapists' knowledge, attitude and willingness to care for AIDS survivors. Methods. Using a 90-item two-part questionnaire that elicited sociodemographic and previous AIDS encounter information, and also assessed knowledge, attitude and willingness to provide care to PLWA, physiotherapists (N = 131) practicing in Nigeria were surveyed. Results. Overall, the physiotherapists showed unsatisfactory knowledge about AIDS, harbored negative attitude towards PLWA, and some were unwilling to provide care for PLWA. Previous experience caring for PLWA influenced their attitude, and modest but positive relationships were found between knowledge and attitude and between attitude and willingness. Conclusion. The study underscores the need to address Nigerian physiotherapists' working knowledge deficits and negative attitudes to PLWA. A comprehensive AIDS education that would assist clinicians in exploring their attitude, stereotype and bias against PLWA is warranted. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
