Aims: To evaluate the potential impact and feasibility of a personalized logopaedic intervention.

Implementing a Personalized Physical Therapy Approach (Coach2Move) Is Effective in Increasing Physical Activity and Improving Functional Mobility in Older Adults: A Cluster-Randomized, Stepped Wedge Trial.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess whether the superior cost-effectiveness of a personalized physical therapy approach (Coach2Move)-which was demonstrated in a previous trial compared with usual care physical therapy (UCP)-can be replicated in daily clinical practice.

Methods: A multicenter, cluster-randomized, stepped wedge trial with 4 clusters consisting of 4 physical therapist practices in the Netherlands was used to compare a personalized physical therapy approach to elicit physical activity (Coach2Move) versus care as usual. Multilevel analyses for effectiveness were conducted for the amount of physical activity (Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam Physical Activity Questionnaire) and functional mobility (Timed "Up & Go" Test) at 3, 6 (primary outcome), and 12 months' follow-up.

A practice test and selection of a core set of outcome-based quality indicators in Dutch primary care physical therapy for patients with COPD: a cohort study.

Aim: To estimate the comparability and discriminability of outcome-based quality indicators by performing a practice test in Dutch physical therapy primary care, and to select a core set of outcome-based quality indicators that are well accepted by physical therapists based on their perceived added value as a quality improvement tool.

Methods: First, a list of potential quality indicators was defined, followed by determination of the comparability (case-mix adjusted multilevel analysis) and discriminability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)). Second, focus group meetings were conducted with stakeholders (physical therapists and senior researchers) to select a core set of quality indicators.

Purpose: To investigate the reliability and validity of the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform System of Task Analysis (PRPP-Assessment) by parent-provided videos of children with mitochondrial disorders.

Methods: Videos of 13 children performing 3-7 activities each were the subject of study, resulting in 65 activities. These were scored using the PRPP-Assessment by 11 raters.

Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment Based on Parent-Provided Videos of Children with Mitochondrial Disorder: Action Design Research on Implementation Challenges.

Aims: Performing the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment, using video material of everyday life, seems sensible to lower the patient burden, enhance ecological validity, and provide care at a distance. However, receipt of adequate video material is not self-evident and assessing videos can be challenging. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the process of gaining video material and to optimize the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos.

The effects of a visuo-motor and cognitive dual task on walking adaptability in children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder.

Background: Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD-C) have motor coordination deficits which lead to difficulties in sports and play activities that require adaptations of the walking pattern. Sports and play often involve performing dual tasks, which affects performance in DCD-C more than in typically developing children (TD-C). So far, testing the impact of dual tasking on walking adaptability in DCD-C has received little scientific attention.

Clinimetric Evaluation of the Experienced Communication in Dementia Questionnaire.

Background And Objectives: Tools to measure self-perceived communication between persons with early-stage dementia and their caregivers are lacking. Therefore, we developed a questionnaire for Experienced Communication in Dementia (ECD) with a patient version (ECD-P) and a caregiver version (ECD-C), which contains items on (a) caregiver competence, (b) social communication, (c) communication difficulties, and (d) experienced emotions. This article describes the feasibility and clinimetric evaluation of this instrument.

Walking adaptability improves after treadmill training in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder: A proof-of-concept study.

Background: Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have motor coordination deficits leading to difficulties in sports and play that require adaptations of the walking pattern. Children with DCD indeed demonstrate poorer walking adaptability (WA) compared to typically developing children, but it remains elusive whether WA can be improved by training.

Research Question: Does augmented-reality treadmill training lead to improvements in WA in children with DCD?

Methods: Seventeen children with DCD were included in this proof-of-concept intervention study.

How do community based dementia friendly initiatives work for people with dementia and their caregivers, and why? A rapid realist review.

Objectives: To describe and explain the outcomes of community dementia friendly initiatives (DFIs) for people with dementia and their caregivers to inform the development and tailoring of DFIs.

Methods: Literature searches on DFIs were performed through two systematic online database searches of PubMed, Embase, ASSIA, CINAHL and Google scholar. Papers were only included if they evaluated outcomes using empirical data from people with dementia or caregivers.

Exploring the provision and motives behind the adoption of health-promotion programmes in professional football clubs across four European countries.

This study mapped existing health-promotion provisions targeting adults in professional football clubs across England, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal, and explored motives behind the clubs' adoption of the European Fans in Training (EuroFIT) programme. We surveyed top-tier football clubs in the four countries and interviewed representatives from football clubs and the clubs' charitable foundation who delivered EuroFIT. The findings showed large between-country differences, with football clubs in England reporting far greater healthy lifestyle provision than other countries.

Therapists' experiences and needs with regard to providing work-focused care: a focus group study.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) can create a temporary or permanent disability that reduce a person's ability to work. Physiotherapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs) and exercise therapists (ETs) are often involved in the early management of MSDs. There is a need for additional insights into therapists' experiences, barriers and needs to work-focused care.
