Abstract

Improvements in functional reaching directly support improvements in independence. The addition of auditory inputs (e.g., music, rhythmic counting) may improve goal-directed reaching for individuals with cerebral palsy (CP). To effectively integrate auditory stimuli into adapted teaching and rehabilitation protocols, it is necessary to understand how auditory stimuli may enhance limb control. This study considered the influence of auditory stimuli during the planning or execution phases of goal-directed reaches. Adults (with CP = 10, without CP = 10) reached from a home switch to two targets. Three conditions were presented—no sound, sound before, and sound during—and three-dimensional movement trajectories were recorded. Reaction times were shorter for both groups in the sound before condition, while the group with CP also reached peak velocity relatively earlier in the sound before condition. The group with CP executed more consistent movements in both sound conditions. Sound presented before movement initiation improved both the planning and execution of reaching movements for adults with CP. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Incidence and prevalence of low back pain (LBP) continue to grow in Canada and world- wide; associated psychosocial demands often lead to long-term disability increasing individual and socioeconomic burden. In spite of efforts to develop and update evidence-based clinical practice guidelines (EBCPGs), a gap remains between research findings and physiotherapists’ practice. Registered Canadian physiotherapists (n=525) completed a cross-sectional online survey including demographic and practice characteristics, a clinical scenario, a questionnaire to assess back pain beliefs (PABS-PT), and a scale to measure self-efficacy in implementing evidence-based practice (EPIC). Treatment choices related to the clinical scenario were scored on a 4-point scale according to recent EBCPGs, and 77.3% of respondents were deemed to have higher adherence (score of 3 or 4) to EBCPGs; however, only 29.5% of respondents chose interventions to directly address psychosocial demands. Physiotherapists with higher adherence to EBCPGs had significantly lower biomedical (mean difference: -3.6, p < 0.001, 95% CI(-5.1, - 2.1)) and significantly higher behavioural (mean difference: 2.6, p < 0.001, 95% CI(1.6, 3.6)) scores on the PABS-PT questionnaire compared to the other group; scores on the EPIC scale were no different between the groups (mean difference: 1.7, p = 0.299, 95% CI(-1.5, 4.8)). A binary logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify predictors of group membership. Physiotherapists’ intention to use EBCPGs, subjective norms regarding use of EBCPGs, biomedical beliefs, and having post-graduate training were significant predictors; the latter being the strongest predictor of higher-adherence. Seven Manitoban physiotherapists were interviewed and reported being highly satisfied with the care they have been providing to patients with LBP even when psychosocial issues are present. Interviewees did not perceive a need for immediate change in their practice but described that it is t
