Abstract
This study collected data about the current awareness and use of stroke rehabilitation interventions among a Canadian sample of PTs as a foundational step towards future endeavours to inform the translation of rehabilitation research literature into practice. Participants were recruited from health care centres providing stroke rehabilitation to patients in each of the 10 provinces across Canada. Physiotherapists who provided direct rehabilitative care to individuals after a stroke, were 18+ years old, and could read and write in English completed an electronic survey. Questions asked about therapists’ work setting, patient demographics, how they stay up-to-date, and their awareness and use of stroke rehabilitation interventions. One hundred seventy five individuals (female = 82.9%) mainly from Ontario and Alberta (57.7%) were included. Therapists had high awareness and use of non-technological, peripherally-applied interventions (e.g., task-specific training, trunk training, overground walking). Except for mirror therapy and bilateral arm training, therapists had low or no awareness and use of brain priming interventions with or without a technological component. Therapists had low awareness and use of interventions which fall outside of standard education and training. This is an important area for future research on initiatives to increase knowledge translation and implementation into clinical practice.
期刊介绍：
Physiotherapy Canada is the official, scholarly, refereed journal of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), giving direction to excellence in clinical science and reasoning, knowledge translation, therapeutic skills and patient-centred care.
Founded in 1923, Physiotherapy Canada meets the diverse needs of national and international readers and serves as a key repository of inquiries, evidence and advances in the practice of physiotherapy.
Physiotherapy Canada publishes the results of qualitative and quantitative research including systematic reviews, meta analyses, meta syntheses, public/health policy research, clinical practice guidelines, and case reports. Key messages, clinical commentaries, brief reports and book reviews support knowledge translation to clinical practice.
In addition to delivering authoritative, original scientific articles and reports of significant clinical studies, Physiotherapy Canada’s editorials and abstracts are presented in both English and French, expanding the journal’s reach nationally and internationally. Key messages form an integral part of each research article, providing a succinct summary for readers of all levels. This approach also allows readers to quickly get a feel for ‘what is already known’ and ‘what this study adds to’ the subject.
Clinician’s commentaries for key articles assist in bridging research and practice by discussing the article’s impact at the clinical level. The journal also features special themed series which bring readers up to date research supporting evidence-informed practice.
The Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) is the national professional association representing almost 15,000 members distributed throughout all provinces and territories. CPA’s mission is to provide leadership and direction to the physiotherapy profession, foster excellence in practice, education and research, and promote high standards of health in Canada.
