Exercise therapy in routine management of peripheral arterial disease and intermittent claudication: a scoping review.

Background: Little is known about the extent to which routine care management of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and intermittent claudication (IC) align with best practice recommendations on exercise therapy. We conducted a scoping review to examine the published literature on the availability and workings of exercise therapy in the routine management of patients with PAD and IC, and the attitude and practice of health professionals and patients.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in February 2018.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and the Practice of Health Promotion among Physiotherapists in Nigeria.

In spite of the growing epidemic of non-communicable diseases in Nigeria and the compelling need for the active participation of physiotherapists in health promotion activities around the world, there is no evidence that physiotherapists in Nigeria are engaged in health promotion activities. This study aimed to investigate the knowledge of, attitudes toward, and practice of health promotion among physiotherapists practising in Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study.
