Advanced practice in physiotherapy: a global survey

Andrews K. Tawiah, Francois Desmeules, Laura Finucane, Jeremy Lewis, Marguerite Wieler, Emma Stokes, Linda J. Woodhouse

Summary: The study revealed that advanced practice in physiotherapy exists globally, with some confusion in terms of titles and practice requirements. Most advanced physiotherapy practitioners have a combination of clinical practice and a Master's or Doctoral degree. Major facilitators to the development and sustainability of the role include research evidence, advocacy by the professional organisation, the need to reduce cost, and support from employers.

Researcher's Perspective on Musculoskeletal Conditions in Primary Care Physiotherapy Units through the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF): A Scoping Review

Hector Hernandez-Lazaro, Maria Teresa Mingo-Gomez, Sandra Jimenez-del-Barrio, Silvia Lahuerta-Martin, Ignacio Hernando-Garijo, Ricardo Medrano-de-la-Fuente, Luis Ceballos-Laita

Summary: This scoping review aimed to compare the researcher's perspective with the ICF core set for post-acute musculoskeletal conditions and identify additional ICF categories that deviate from the core set. The results showed that 84.2% of the ICF core set can be measured by the outcome measures analyzed. However, 68 additional ICF categories were identified that were not related to the core set, raising questions about the applicability of the core set in primary care physiotherapy units.

Advanced practice physiotherapists can diagnose and triage patients with musculoskeletal disorders while providing effective care: a systematic review

Simon Lafrance, Raphael Vincent, Anthony Demont, Maxime Charron, Francois Desmeules

Summary: This study found that there is good concordance between advanced practice physiotherapists (APPTs) and physicians in terms of diagnosis and surgical triage. Patients managed in an advanced practice physiotherapy (APP) model of care reported comparable or greater reductions in pain and disability compared to usual medical care.

Undergraduate research implementation in physiotherapy: a hands-on and real experience of a randomised controlled trial

Igor Sancho, Maialen Araolaza-Arrieta, Iker Villanueva-Ruiz, Ane Arbillaga-Etxarri

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of implementing a research-based activity (i.e., active participation in a randomised controlled trial [RCT]) on the learning and acquisition of research methodology-related competencies by first-year physiotherapy students. The results showed that undergraduate research had a positive impact on students' critical thinking and assessment of methodological quality. Students and lecturers reported that the implementation of the research activity facilitated their understanding and skills in research methodology. However, lecturers also mentioned that it added an additional burden.

Headache and orofacial pain: A traffic-light prognosis-based management approach for the musculoskeletal practice

Tzvika Greenbaum, Alona Emodi-Perlman

Summary: This article introduces the classification of headache and orofacial pain, and points out that only two types, cervicogenic headache and headache attributed to temporomandibular disorders, are directly related to the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, a clear prognosis-based classification system is needed to better treat these patients, which also includes screening for dangerous medical conditions and assessing the psychosocial aspects of patients.

Navigating diagnostic uncertainty in musculoskeletal practice: The perspectives and experiences of new graduate physiotherapists

Allexandra Almond, Yixin Zou, Roma Forbes

Summary: New graduate physiotherapists frequently encounter diagnostic uncertainty when managing musculoskeletal pain, but they utilize strategies such as patient-centered care, transparency, and seeking support from senior colleagues to address these challenges. These strategies are often derived from clinical experiences and have implications for physiotherapy curricula and workplace support.

The introduction of advanced practice physiotherapy within Dutch primary care is a quest for possibilities, added value, and mutual trust: a qualitative study amongst advanced practice physiotherapists and general practitioners

Sylvia Pellekooren, Marianne Donker, Eddy Reijnders, Lamyae Boutalab, Raymond Ostelo, Maurits van Tulder, Annelies Pool-Goudzwaard

Summary: This study explores the experiences and perceptions of Advanced Practitioner Physiotherapists (APPs) and General Practitioners (GPs) in implementing APP within Dutch primary care. The study identifies the critical roles of trust in APP, the need for continuous support from GPs, the strengthening of APPs' position, and the tensions created by the implementation of the APP model.

Neck pain associated with migraine does not necessarily reflect cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction

Zhiqi Liang, Lucy Thomas, Gwendolen Jull, Joanne Minto, Hossein Zareie, Julia Treleaven

Summary: The study found that the presence of neck pain in individuals with migraine does not necessarily indicate cervical musculoskeletal dysfunction. Skilled assessment is needed to identify actual cervical dysfunction and provide appropriate treatment.

Deep and superficial cervical muscles respond differently to unstable motor skill tasks

U. Roijezon, G. Jull, M. Djupsjobacka, S. E. Salomoni, P. W. Hodges

Summary: The study found that cervical muscle activity differed in stable and unstable conditions, and the control of deep and superficial muscles also varied, indicating that the central nervous system employs different strategies for controlling deep versus superficial muscle layers of the cervical spine in association with instability.

Altered neuromuscular activity and postural stability during standing balance tasks in persons with non-specific neck pain

Munlika Sremakaew, Julia Treleaven, Gwendolen Jull, Parinya Vongvaivanichakul, Sureeporn Uthaikhup

Summary: The study compared muscle activity in persons with neck pain to healthy controls during standing postures and found that the neck pain group demonstrated higher muscle activity. Lower extremity muscle activity was moderately correlated with postural sway. The increased neck activity in the neck pain group is likely related to the neck pain disorder rather than postural instability.

Summary: This study aimed to establish uniform classification criteria (CC) for cervical radiculopathy (CR), which would facilitate the recruitment of homogeneous populations in future clinical trials. Through a Delphi study, experts in the field reached a consensus on the CC for CR. The identified CC can be used in future CR trials, but further investigation is needed for consensus on measurement tools.

Cervicogenic headache

Gwendolen Jull

Summary: This article provides an overview of cervical headache research conducted in our laboratory as part of a broader research program on neck pain disorders. Early studies validated the importance of manual examination in diagnosing cervicogenic headache. Further research identified a diagnostic pattern and confirmed the effectiveness of a combined program of manipulative therapy and motor control exercise for managing cervicogenic headache.

Reliability of changes in neck pain and cervical rotation range following manual scapular repositioning

Nipaporn Wannaprom, Julia Treleaven, Gwendolen Jull, Sureeporn Uthaikhup

Summary: This study evaluated the reliability of changes in neck pain and cervical rotation range following manual scapular repositioning performed by two examiners, as well as the agreement between these measures and patients' perceptions of change. The results showed good reliability between examiners in assessing pain and rotation range, while there was moderate agreement between patients' perceptions and measured changes.
