Musculoskeletal shoulder pain: Home exercise frequency and adherence to appointments are not mediators of outcome.

Objective: To investigate whether appointment adherence and frequency of home exercises mediates the association of baseline i) pain self-efficacy (PSE) or ii) patient expectation of recovery, with outcome at 6 months.

Design: Multicentre longitudinal cohort study.

Methods: Six-month outcome data (SPADI, QuickDASH) were provided by 810 of 1030 recruited participants.

Neck or Shoulder? Establishing Consensus for Spine Screening in Patients with Shoulder Pain: an International Modified Delphi Study.

Objective: There is no established consensus for screening the spine in patients with shoulder pain. The aim of this study was to explore the role of the spine in shoulder pain and generate a set of recommendations for assessing the potential involvement of the spine in patients with shoulder pain.

Methods: A modified Delphi study was conducted through use of an international shoulder physical therapist's expert panel.

Diet and Physical Activity Interventions for People from Minority Ethnic Backgrounds in the UK: A Scoping Review Exploring Barriers, Enablers and Cultural Adaptations.

Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are a global pandemic, driven by obesity, poor diet and physical inactivity. In the UK, the prevalence of T2D and CVD is higher in minority ethnic groups. Lifestyle prevention interventions can be effective but uptake amongst minority ethnic groups in the UK is low and the extent of cultural adaptations to increase engagement unknown.

Combined low-dose dobutamine and exercise stress echocardiography: a new hybrid protocol to detect inducible ischaemia.

Aims: Myocardial response to stress echocardiography may be elicited physiologically, through exercise, or pharmacologically, often with dobutamine. Both have advantages but also limitations due to reduced exercise capacity or side-effects to stressor agent/lack of closeness to true pathophysiology of ischaemic cascade. We have combined low-dose dobutamine and exercise, creating a 'hybrid' protocol to utilize the advantages of both techniques and limit the drawbacks.

Rehabilitation guidelines following arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation surgery for traumatic instability - a Delphi consensus.

Background: There is no consistent approach to rehabilitation following arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation surgery (ASSS) in the UK. The aim of this study was to agree a set of post-operative guidelines for clinical practice.

Method: Expert stakeholders (surgeons, physiotherapists and patients) were identified via professional networks and patient involvement and engagements groups.
