Physiotherapists Using the Biopsychosocial Model for Chronic Pain: Barriers and Facilitators-A Scoping Review.

The use of the biopsychosocial model in primary care physiotherapy for chronic pain is far from the recommendations given in research and current guidelines. To understand why physiotherapists have difficulty implementing a biopsychosocial approach, more insight is needed on the barriers and facilitators. This scoping review aimed to investigate and map these barriers and facilitators that physiotherapists working in primary care reportedly face when treating patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain from a biopsychosocial perspective.

Reliability and validity of assessment methods available in primary care for bladder outlet obstruction and benign prostatic obstruction in men with lower urinary tract symptoms: a systematic review.

Objectives: To systematically review the literature regarding the reliability and validity of assessment methods available in primary care for bladder outlet obstruction or benign prostatic obstruction in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

Design: Systematic review with best evidence synthesis.

Setting: Primary care.

Factors associated with gross motor development from birth to independent walking: A systematic review of longitudinal research.

Aim: The aim of this study is to gain more insight into child and environmental factors that influence gross motor development (GMD) of healthy infants from birth until reaching the milestone of independent walking, based on longitudinal research.

Background: A systematic search was conducted using Scopus, PsycINFO, MEDLINE and CINAHL to identify studies from inception to February 2020. Studies that investigated the association between child or environmental factors and infant GMD using longitudinal measurements of infant GMD were eligible.

Assessment instruments of movement quality in patients with non-specific low back pain: A systematic review and selection of instruments.

Background: Observing and analyzing movement quality (MQ) in patients with non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP) is important in the clinical reasoning of primary care physiotherapists and exercise therapists. However, there is no standardized form of assessment.

Research Question: which MQ domains are measured with which instruments, and which activities are relevant, appropriate and methodologically sound for assessing MQ in patients with NS-LBP?

Methods: The study had three phases.

Predictors of dropout in interdisciplinary chronic pain management programmes: A systematic review.

Objective: Systematic review to identify predictors for dropout during interdisciplinary pain management programmes.

Data Sources: PubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Embase, and SPORTDiscus were searched from inception to 22 June 2017.

Study Selection: Screening, data-extraction and quality assessment was carried out independently by 2 researchers.

The Association of Illness Perception and Prognosis for Pain and Physical Function in Patients With Noncancer Musculoskeletal Pain: A Systematic Literature Review.

Background: In the literature, illness perceptions have been reported to be important psychological factors associated with pain intensity and physical function in individuals with musculoskeletal pain.

Objective: To assess the relationship of illness perceptions with pain intensity and physical function in individuals with noncancer musculoskeletal pain.

Methods: In this systematic review, relevant literature databases, including PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus, were searched from inception through December 12, 2017.

The clinical reasoning process in randomized clinical trials with patients with non-specific neck pain is incomplete: A systematic review.

Objective: Primarily to evaluate the completeness of the description of the clinical reasoning process in RCTs with patients with non-specific neck pain with an argued or diagnosed cause i.e. an impairment or activity limitation.

Evidence for increasing physical activity in children with physical disabilities: a systematic review.

Aim: To summarize the best evidence of interventions for increasing physical activity in children with physical disabilities.

Method: A systematic review was conducted using an electronic search executed in Academic Search Elite, Academic Search Premier, CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE, PEDro, PsychINFO, and SPORTDiscus up to February 2016. The selection of articles was performed independently by two researchers according to predetermined eligibility criteria.

Factors associated with physical activity in children and adolescents with a physical disability: a systematic review.

Aim: The aim of this review was to summarize the important factors associated with participation in physical activity in children and adolescents with physical disabilities.

Method: A systematic mixed-studies review was conducted using the databases Academic Search Elite, CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PEDro, PsycINFO, PubMed, and SPORTDiscus, searching for studies conducted from January 2000 to May 2013. The studies were identified by two independent researchers following predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
