Background: Identification of preclinical disability in middle-aged and older adults might allow early identification of and treatment for functional mobility deficits.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine which physical performance measures (PPMs) were effective in identifying preclinical disability in individuals at risk for future disability.
Data Sources: CINHAL, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched until September 2017 using key words.
Background: Many factors affect student learning throughout the clinical education (CE) component of professional (entry-level) physical therapist education curricula. Physical therapist education programs (PTEPs) manage CE, yet the material and human resources required to provide CE are generally overseen by community-based physical therapist practices.
Purpose: The purposes of this systematic review were: (1) to examine how the construct of quality is defined in CE literature and (2) to determine the methodological rigor of the available evidence on quality in physical therapist CE.
Background: Direct access to physical therapist services is permitted by law in the majority of states and across all practice settings. Ohio enacted such legislation in 2004; however, it was unknown how direct access had affected actual clinical practice.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe physical therapist and physical therapist practice environment factors that affect direct access practice.
Background And Objectives: This mixed-method case study examined access issues related to physical therapy services among medically underserved adults within an Ohio community.
Design: Three community health care clinics served as the units of analysis.
Methods: Eleven health care providers and 110 patients participated in the study, and documents from local, state, and national resources were reviewed.
