Strategic Learning Strategies of Doctor of Physical Therapy Students.

Introduction: The use of strategic learning strategies has been positively associated with academic performance in several graduate health profession programs. This finding suggests that it may be an important construct to explore in Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) education. The Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASSI) summarizes a student's perception and use of 10 learning and study strategies.

Investigating the effects of ankle foot orthoses on electromyography in impaired populations: a systematic review.

Purpose: Despite ample evidence supporting ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) for enhancing ambulation in those with neuromuscular impairment, a prevalent belief among rehabilitation professionals is that AFO use may lead to disuse and reduced muscle activity of the lower leg. To determine the effects of AFO intervention on electromyography (EMG) activity during walking in individuals with neuromuscular impairment.

Materials And Methods: Five databases were searched for studies that met the predefined inclusion criteria and were published any time through April 2024.

Physical therapist's clinical reasoning in patients with gait impairments from hemiplegia.

: During stroke rehabilitation, physical therapists (PTs) perform gait analysis and design treatments based on this analysis. : To investigate the current trends in PTs clinical reasoning in assessing and managing gait in persons with hemiplegia. : A qualitative study using a phenomenological approach using a semi-structured interview protocol with FG.

The free post-stroke clinic: a successful teaching and learning model.

Healthcare students are often challenged in understanding the complexities associated with the diagnosis of cerebrovascular accident (CVA, stroke). Due to the diversity of clinical presentations following stroke and the intractable nature of some stroke sequelae, learning to effectively manage persons with stroke cannot always be translated solely through didactic methods. This paper describes a free post-stroke clinic, organized as part of the occupational therapy (OT) and physical therapy (PT) curricula, that offered hands-on learning with actual patients with stroke, provided a needed service to the community, and established a pathway for university stroke research.
