Family-centered Care for Children with Disabilities in Japan-the Origin and Future of the "Ryouiku"
Phys Ther Res. 2024;27(1):1-5. doi: 10.1298/ptr.R0029. Epub 2024 Mar 12.ABSTRACTFamily-centered care is recommended as the best practice in pediatric physiotherapy. It is a philosophy that pediatric physiotherapists should be familiar with, as it relates to the health of the child as well as the family. However, family-centered care has not been adequately taught in physiotherapy education in Japan. The term "Ryouiku" was coined in 1940 in Japan. The concept of the Ryouiku is essentially Evidence-Based Medicine and is the very essence of family-centered care with a focus on function. By re-thinking the Ryouiku and applying...

Early Ambulation Following Lung Resection Surgery: Impact on Short-term Outcomes in Patients with Lung Cancer
CONCLUSIONS: Ambulation for ≥10 m during initial pulmonary rehabilitation after lung resection surgery may yield short-term benefits as evidenced by improvements in various outcomes. However, it may not significantly affect the PPC incidence.PMID:38690530 | PMC:PMC11057388 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10277 (Source: Physical Therapy)

The Assessment and Response of Rehabilitation Professionals to Sudden Deterioration in Symptoms: An Analysis of the National Database in Japan
CONCLUSION: We attempted to identify problems analyzing the response by RPs to acute deterioration using the database and construct an appropriate response model. It resulted that RPs need to obtain patient information in advance and integrate/interpret it appropriately based on accurate assessment of conscious, circulation and respiration for rapid response. A model including integration/interpretation for appropriate post-response by RPs was constructed using the FRAM.PMID:38690533 | PMC:PMC11057387 | DOI:10.1298/ptr.E10272 (Source: Physical Therapy)

The Effect of Total Knee Replacement on Dual-Task Gait Performance in Older Adults
CONCLUSION: The absence of an effect of TKR on gait DTCs can potentially underlie increased fall risk after TKR. Results from this study emphasize the significance of balance as a measure and focal point for rehabilitation after TKR.IMPACT: This study contributes to our understanding of the attentional cost of walking in people before and after TKR, as well as to factors associated with it. Results from this work can assist formulation of rehabilitation programs for people with knee osteoarthritis.PMID:38691445 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzae067 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Psychological factors show limited association with the severity of Achilles tendinopathy
CONCLUSION: The study suggests that psychological factors demonstrate limited association with the severity of Achilles tendinopathy. While self-efficacy for chronic pain was weakly associated, its clinical relevance remains uncertain. Future research, particularly longitudinal studies, should explore the influence of psychosocial factors on treatment adherence and response to enhance management strategies for Achilles tendon pain.PMID:38685174 | DOI:10.1016/j.ptsp.2024.04.004 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Associations between back pain incidence, and physical activity and sedentary behaviours: A prospective cohort study with data from over 365,000 participants
CONCLUSION: Physical activity was related to a reduced risk of back pain incidence (except over-high vigorous physical activity). Substituting sedentary behaviours with physical activities reduced the risk of future back pain.PMID:38687159 | DOI:10.2519/jospt.2024.12338 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Boosting treatment outcomes via the patient-practitioner relationship, treatment-beliefs or therapeutic setting. A systematic review with meta-analysis of contextual effects in chronic musculoskeletal pain
CONCLUSION: Whilst evidence gaps exist, per current evidence it may not be possible to achieve meaningful benefit for patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain by manipulating the context of non-pharmacological and non-surgical treatments.

Determining the Optimal Length of Clinical Education Experiences: Surveying Doctor of Physical Therapy Academic and Clinical Faculty
CONCLUSION: There was consistency between academic and clinical faculty regarding the perceived optimal length of full-time CEEs. Academic and clinical faculty perspectives for the optimal length of terminal full-time CEEs (12.5 weeks) were different than those for the national average (21.8 weeks) length of terminal full-time CEEs. Our study provides evidence to support DPT programs' clinical education curriculum decisions regarding the length of full-time CEEs to optimize students learning and maturation.PMID:38684091 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000342 (Source: Physical Therapy)

2023 Pauline Cerasoli Lecture: It Takes a Village to Raise a Profession
CONCLUSION: The profession has not adopted an intentional pathway for new graduates to meet foundational practice needs. Some new graduates seek residencies, but residencies are focused on specialization and supply does not meet the demand. Strategies to promote success of early career professionals include a professional to postprofessional curriculum with intentional mentorship, changes in the regulatory environment, and formation of effective partnerships to support education and practice.PMID:38684104 | DOI:10.1097/JTE.0000000000000344 (Source: Physical Therapy)
