Informing the Development of Telehealth Education in Physiotherapy Programs. Assessments and Interventions for Individuals Accessing Physiotherapy Care via Synchronous Telehealth. A Scoping Review.

Background: In order to develop contemporary telehealth curricula for entry-to-practice physiotherapy programs that develop the capabilities required to practice telehealth, it is important to evaluate the delivery of telehealth practices within the physiotherapy profession.

Objective: To assess the current literature to (i) determine what types of assessments and interventions have been delivered via synchronous forms of telehealth (videoconferencing and telephone) by physiotherapists (ii) determine which platforms were used for service delivery and which practice areas have delivered synchronous telehealth physiotherapy assessments and interventions.

Design: Scoping review adhering to Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines.

Keep Moving: Sustainability of an Early Mobility Protocol in an Academic Pediatric ICU.

Introduction: Mobilization protocols are safe and feasible for critically ill pediatric patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), but barriers exist to sustainability. This study described a focused early mobility protocol, sustained over 5 years, which is on time for therapy consults and patient mobilization at a single institution.

Methods: A formal ICU mobility protocol was implemented as part of a unit-wide ICU liberation bundle.

Increased light scatter in simulated cataracts degrades speed perception.

Changes in contrast and blur affect speed perception, raising the question of whether natural changes in the eye (e.g., cataract) that induce light scatter may affect motion perception.
