The etiology and natural history of adhesive capsulitis remain obscure, which limited subsequent management. Traditional treatments include conservative medical therapy and physical therapy, but severe shoulder pain may constitute an obstacle to joint mobilization. Local steroid injection into or around the shoulder joint has been shown to alleviate pain in early stages of the disease. Late disease appears less responsive and there are many known risks of complications. Many different protocols to treat the disease have been reported, but the results are generally unsatisfatcory and difficult to compare.Our goal was to determine the efficacy of a combined treatment-intraarticular injection of …
Enhancing Critical Reflection Of Students During A Clinical Internship Using The Self-S.O.A.P. Note, Deanna Dye
Enhancing Critical Reflection Of Students During A Clinical Internship Using The Self-S.O.A.P. Note, Deanna Dye
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Background and Purpose: Critical reflection is a skill all physical therapists need to develop to be successful in professional practice. Scholars have defined the varied processes, purposes and outcomes of reflection. Journaling is one technique for encouraging the process of critical reflection. While journaling can take many forms, a structured journal format with clear instructions and ongoing feedback has been found to be most successful in maintaining student engagement. Method Description and Evaluation: A journal structured in a S.O.A.P. note format was implemented as a weekly assignment during a clinical education experience. Students were required to submit the weekly self-S.O.A.P. …
A Review Of The Literature On Evidence-Based Practice In Physical Therapy, Joe Schreiber, Perri Stern
A Review Of The Literature On Evidence-Based Practice In Physical Therapy, Joe Schreiber, Perri Stern
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
The term “evidence-based practice” (EBP) has become ubiquitous in physical therapy practice. Since the mid 1990s, over 70 articles have been published in the physical therapy literature relating to EBP. Many physical therapists agree with the notion that scientific evidence should be utilized to guide practice decisions. However, for physical therapy clinicians, there are numerous barriers to EBP. Also, there appears to be a disconnect between academia and clinical practice in terms of the utilization of research evidence to inform clinical decision making. The purpose of this review of the literature is to begin to elucidate and address some of …
What The People Want – Delivery Of Health Services In Rural And Remote Australia, Lorraine Sheppard
What The People Want – Delivery Of Health Services In Rural And Remote Australia, Lorraine Sheppard
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
The purpose of the paper was to discuss directions in rural and remote health based on current policies in Australia. A review of the policy framework and consideration of health and population trends provide a basis to discuss the future rural workforce. The conclusions that are drawn support present models of rural and remote practice. A commitment to primary health and public health will be the next focus in health care. A rural health workforce can respond to this direction using existing modes of practice which emphasize working in teams, planning services based on patient need rather than clinical specialty …

Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
This paper reports on the process of developing a low-cost initiative for therapists to assist in the collection and evaluation of information on outcome of care, using a selection of standard health outcome measures. An episode of care approach has been taken, in which repeated measures of outcome can be collected whenever the patient presents for treatment for a specific condition. The MS Access-based software is available for download free of charge on the website of the Centre for Allied Health Evidence, University of South Australia (CAHE Outcomes Calculator). The calculator currently incorporates common measures of outcome for musculoskeletal problems, …

"Finis Origine Pendet” – Enhancing Later Learning And Professional Socialization Through An Introductory Dpt Course, Kyle P. Meyer, Patricia A. Hageman, Robert H. Fuchs, Amy E. Tyler, Gregory M. Karst
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Background and Purpose: In developing a new Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) curriculum, the faculty at a mid-west academic health sciences center decided to introduce course content historically placed near the end of the program’s Master of Physical Therapy curriculum at the beginning of the DPT curriculum. The new DPT curriculum was constructed to promote the value of three central themes; 1) evidence-based practice and 2) patient-centered care, both of which contribute to 3) sound clinical decision making. Faculty theorized that by explicitly expressing these themes in a first semester, introductory course, students would acquire a much needed framework for …

Influence Of Academic Qualifications, Place Of Employment And Prior Research Experience On Physiotherapy Research Practice, Peter J. Thomas, Marie Williams, Jeffrey Lipman
Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
An increasing number of physiotherapists are undertaking research activities, but the level of overall awareness and understanding of ethical research practices is unknown. The aim of this study was to describe physiotherapist's knowledge of good research practices. Physiotherapists who presented abstracts at an Australian Physiotherapy Association conference in 2003/2004 were surveyed (n = 184, response rate = 55%). Excluding literature reviews, the majority of abstracts involved humans (95%), with 89% of these having human research ethics committee (HREC) approval. Only eight (6%) experimental research papers involving humans did not seek or gain HREC approval. Despite the high level of HREC …

The growing importance of evidence based practice is necessitating academics and clinicians to be able to make judgments about the quality of the body of research evidence pertaining to clinical questions. There are numerous critical appraisal tools to assist this process. These are mostly designed for specific research designs, and tend not to reflect the particular concerns of allied health professionals, such as accuracy of diagnosis, adequate description of intervention, and sensitivity and utility of outcome measures. This paper reports the findings of a study which sought expert opinion on the essential criteria for critical appraisal, and whether a generic …
