Abstract:
<p>The original article is available at <a href="http://informahealthcare.com">http://informahealthcare.com</a></p>
<p>PURPOSE: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic, progressive disease with a significant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk burden and a considerable impact on functional capacity and quality of life (QoL). Exercise programmes result in significant improvements in walking distances but long-term effects are uncertain. The aim of this study was to assess the one-year effects of participation in a 12-week supervised exercise programme on functional capacity and QoL for PAD patients.</p> <p>METHODS: Patients were randomly allocated to a control (n = 16) or an exercise (n = 28) group. Data regarding functional capacity (Walking Impairment Questionnaire WIQ), disease-specific QoL (Intermittent Claudication Questionnaire ICQ) and generic QoL (SF-36) were collected at baseline, 12 weeks and 1 year.</p&g...

<p>The aim of this study was to investigate veterinary surgeons' perceptions, knowledge and use of animal physiotherapy in the Republic of Ireland. A questionnaire was developed and sent to 200 veterinary surgeons, of which 97 were returned. Results indicated that 77 (79%) of respondents were aware of animal physiotherapists. Common sources of information included veterinary colleagues, owners and professional journals, with physiotherapists themselves and undergraduate training being less commonly cited. Awareness of animal physiotherapy was greatest amongst those working in equine practice (χ2 = 5.7, df 1, p = 0.017); they were more knowledgeable about its techniques (t = 2.806, df 75, p = 0.006) and more likely to refer (χ2 = 48.36, df 1, p = 0.0001). Seventy-four respondents (96%) thought that more research was necessary to ...

Preliminary Results for a Monocular Marker-Free Gait Measurement System
(2006)
Courtney, Jane; dePaor, Annraoi
Abstract:
This paper presents results from a novel monocular marker-free gait measurement system. The system was designed for physical and occupational therapists to monitor the progress of patients through therapy. It is based on a novel human motion capture method derived from model-based tracking. Testing is performed on two monocular, sagittal-view, sample gait videos – one with both the environment and the subject’s appearance and movement restricted and one in a natural environment with unrestricted clothing and motion. Results of the modelling, tracking and analysis stages are presented along with standard gait graphs and parameters.

<p>Poor knowledge of stroke risk factors and failure to recognize and act on acute symptoms hinders efforts to prevent stroke and improve clinical outcomes. Levels of stroke knowledge are poorly established within Ireland. This study was conducted to establish levels of knowledge among men and women aged >40 years in an Irish community, and also to determine the impact of a single education session on stroke knowledge. Subjects from 2 separate geographical locations were allocated to an intervention group (n = 200), who received stroke information over a 90-minute session, or a control group (n = 200). Both groups completed a stroke knowledge questionnaire at baseline and at 4 weeks after the educational session. Overall, the initial resp...

<p><strong>INTRODUCTION:</strong> Knee and hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of disability worldwide. Therapeutic exercise is a recommended core treatment for people with knee and hip OA, however, the observed effect sizes for reducing pain and improving physical function are small to moderate. This may be due to insufficient targeting of exercise to subgroups of people who are most likely to respond and/or suboptimal content of exercise programmes. This study aims to identify: (1) subgroups of people with knee and hip OA that do/do not respond to therapeutic exercise and to different types of exercise and (2) mediators of the effect of therapeutic exercise for reducing pain and improving physical function. This will enable optimal targeting and refining the content of future exercise intervention...

Abstract:
<p>Effective balance screening and treatment is vital to minimise the potential detrimental effects that may result from unidentified and untreated balance impairment in the vulnerable community-dwelling elderly population. Therefore, an appropriate screening measure for balance with established psychometric properties, is required for use in the community-dwelling elderly population. This research study aims to address the gap in the current evidence base, by identifying the psychometric properties of the 7-item BBS-3P and determining its suitability as a clinical measure in community-dwelling adults over the age of 65.</p> <p><strong>Aims and objectives:</strong></p> <p><strong></strong> The aim of this study was to investigate the concurrent validity of the 3-level 7-item Berg Balance Scale (7-item BBS-3P) with other clinical measures of balance in a sample of elderly community-dwelling adults.

Abstract:
<p>This journal is available from <a href="http://www.iscp.ie/">http://www.iscp.ie/</a></p>
<p>A sub-group of Chartered Physiotherapists in Education (CPE) was formed in 2004 to consider the adoption of a common assessment form (CAF) for assessing practice education placements for students studying physiotherapy in the Republic of Ireland. Following agreement from the four heads of departments, the needs of users (academic staff, practice tutors and practice educators) were established. As none of the existing forms met sufficient needs of the users, a new CAF was developed.</p> <p>The top features required by practice educators/tutors and HEIs, the positives of the existing forms and the behaviours indicated int he work of Cross & Hicks1 were taken into account when developing the CAF. Following extensive revisions it was piloted on a small number of sites, revised by the committee and then validated by comparing scores to...

<p>ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Many Polio survivors have reduced mobility, pain and fatigue, which make access to conventional forms of aerobic exercise difficult. Inactivity leads to increased risk of health problems, many of which are prevalent among Polio survivors. Aerobic exercise programmes in Polio survivors should utilise stable muscle groups and should be designed to minimise exacerbation of pain and fatigue. A home-based arm ergometry aerobic exercise programme may represent an affordable and accessible exercise modality, incorporating exercise prescription principles in this group.Methods/design: This is a prospective, single blinded, randomised controlled trial. There are two arms; exercise intervention using arm ergometers and control. Polio survivors meeting eligibility criteria will be recruited and randomly allocated to int...

Undertaking CPD in the workplace in physiotherapy
(2008)
Dowds, Joanne; French, Helen
Abstract:
<p>Continuous professional development (CPD) is a mandatory requirement for all ISCP registered physiotherapists and an increasing part of physiotherapy practice. The aim of this article is to highlight the many forms of CPD that can be used within the ISCP framework, to aid practitioners in attaining a balance of formal and informal CPD in the work setting. The ISCP framework for CPD allows for formal and informal (planned and unplanned) learning. These umbrella terms encompass many activities that physiotherapists perform routinely without realising or documenting as CPD. These activities such as in-service training, clinical supervision and performance appraisal, to name a few, can be utilised in the workplace to enhance the informal CPD opportunities. Reflection can be incorporated into these activities, and formal CPD such as attendance at courses and conferences enrich the learning experience and ensure that learning acquired is incorporated into clinical practice.

<p>An accurate assessment of stroke severity and the ability to predict prognosis is important for determining rehabilitation needs and long term management of patients after stroke. The Orpington Prognostic Score (OPS) is a clinically derived stroke severity scale that can be used to stratify patients into different severity groups. The aim of this study was to validate the Orpington Prognostic Score (OPS) in an Irish in-patient stroke population. Fifty 'first stroke' patients (21 male, median age 72.5 [range 31-93] years) were assessed within two weeks following stroke onset. Subjects were stratified into mild, moderate and severe groups using previously established cut-offs for the OPS. Outcomes were determined prospectively and compared to initial severity groups. Patients in the severe group had a sig...
