Our latest PTJ: Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal podcast is on cognitive functional therapy in chronic low back pain: https://lnkd.in/gVNwiamH Listen as Associate Editor Jason Beneciuk interviews Lena Thiveos, PT, MPhty, and Mark Hancock, PT, PhD, about their recent systematic review that investigated the effectiveness of cognitive functional therapy in the management of chronic low back pain.
A cohort study of older adults with #BackPain in this month's issue of PTJ: Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal from Sean Rundell and colleagues explored which co-occurring conditions alongside bothersome back pain were associated with accessing rehabilitation services. ?? Older adults with more chronic conditions (potentially reflective of greater need for rehab) were more likely to access rehabilitation services. ?? Results also suggest under-utilization of rehabilitation services for those with co-occurring psychological conditions. Learn More ? https://lnkd.in/gquC7fWS

Over my career as a PT, I have been concerned about the phenomenon of hospital associated deconditioning and hospital-acquired frailty. Immobility is so harmful, and disproportionately affects those who have higher baseline functional demands like using public transportation or walking to a grocery store. Our foundational perspective paper for PTs in PTJ: Physical Therapy & Rehabilitation Journal highlights a potential path forward. https://lnkd.in/eXb94TAi
So just how fast does the Cascade of Dependency (AKA HOSPITAL ACQUIRED FRAILTY) happen? Changes begin virtually overnight, and the stampede of systemic attacks on our bodies quicken. UTIs, cognitive decline (no this isn't dementia), muscle wasting, pulmonary challenges, BP changes, etc., etc. We've all seen this happen with older patients. Sometimes, they hit home a LOT harder. This is my own grandmother who was VERY clearly mobile and healthy, and smart as a whip 2 weeks prior to her hospitalization. In 2024, 75 years after we realized how detrimental bed immobility is. For the first week in the hospital following a fall and surgery, she was to get PT 2x per day. 14 treatments ordered. How many did she actually get? 2 times....TOTAL. Never out of bed, never sitting up at bedside, she just laid in bed while her whole body shut down. But she was seen by a number of 'specialists' as multiple systems were failing. Awesome, but they missed the root cause. Family requested repeatedly for therapy and even nursing help to get her out of bed. Didn't happen. Can we at least get her sitting up for meals? Didn't happen. I should have flown out there to help. I didn't. I trusted the hospital would keep their promises to finally start getting her up. And then it was too late. We finally got her into skilled nursing with the help of the orthopedist. I called ahead to give them the details and to ensure they got her moving and kept an eye on her--with her cognition now she may be impulsive and try to get up. She did try to get up (even in her state, she didn't want to be stuck in the bed) and fell all over again. Back to the hospital and back to being confined in bed. My family lost her in 3 short weeks. Several months later and the emotions for many of us are still raw. Much of this is and was preventable.
Ensuring quality oncology content in DPT program curricula just got a lot easier, thanks to newly published oncology competencies from Shana Harrington, PT, PhD and colleagues.
