Efficacy Of Externally Paced Training On Pain In Tendinopathy: A Systematic Review And Meta Analysis, Dylan Carmody, Alyssa Conanan, Daniel Moeller, Sarah Khoblall, Christopher Keating
Department of Physical Therapy Faculty Papers
Tendinopathy is a common condition with treatments focused on local tissue adaptations. Externally paced loading programs are designed to cue (visually, auditorily, or temporally) a person as to when to perform an exercise repetition during a set of repetitions. Externally paced loading programs propose central and peripheral changes with tendinopathy but conclusions regarding their efficacy on pain outcomes remain limited. Our review seeks to explore the efficacy of externally paced loading as a method to reduce self-reported pain in tendinopathic conditions. An electronic database search was conducted of PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and CINAHL databases. A total of 2,104 studies were …

Home Exercise Program Adherence In Physical Therapy: Application Of The Transtheoretical Model, Charis Brown
Home Exercise Program Adherence In Physical Therapy: Application Of The Transtheoretical Model, Charis Brown
Senior Honors Theses
Home exercise programs (HEPs) are a foundational component of physical therapy (PT). However, the majority of patients are not compliant with their HEP; they lack the motivation and habits necessary to be compliant. The transtheoretical model (TTM) is a framework for understanding the decision-making of the individual and is a model of intentional change. When properly understood and applied, the TTM can improve a physical therapist’s ability to help patients to change their behavior and to become HEP compliant. This paper seeks to address patient exercise noncompliance by educating and instructing physical therapists in the application of the TTM, which …
