BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil
January 2025
Department of Physiotherapy, School of Rehabilitation, Tehran University of Medical Science, Enghelab St, Pich-e-Shemiran, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is characterized by recurrent sprains and persistent symptoms, which impair postural control. This study evaluates the diagnostic utility of various linear and nonlinear postural stability measures in distinguishing individuals with CAI from healthy controls.
Methods: Postural stability was assessed in 24 participants (12 with CAI and 12 healthy controls) using a force platform under four conditions: hard surface with eyes open, hard surface with eyes closed, soft surface with eyes open, and soft surface with eyes closed.
Paediatric traumatic brain injuries: A descriptive analysis of incidence, visits, cause, and admission rates in Iceland from 2010 to 2021.
Int Emerg Nurs
January 2025
Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Medicine, School of Health Sciences, University of Iceland, and Research Institute of Neurobehavioral Rehabilitation, Landspitali University Hospital, Iceland.
Background: Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) are common in emergency departments (ED) and may cause long-term negative outcomes but knowledge on how the first assessment of children with TBI may predict outcomes is lacking. This study aimed to expand the knowledge by describing the incidence, visits, causes, and outcomes of TBI in children in Iceland.
Methods: A retrospective descriptive data analysis was conducted on electronic medical records of children aged 0-17 that visited Landspitali EDs due to a traumatic head injury in 2010-2021.
The PainSMART project: Protocol for a research program on effectiveness, mechanisms of effect and patient-practitioner experiences of the PainSMART-strategy as an adjunct to usual primary care physiotherapy management for musculoskeletal pain.
PLoS One
January 2025
Unit of Physiotherapy, Division of Prevention, Rehabilitation and Community Medicine, Department of Health, Medicine and Caring Sciences, Linköping University, Linköping, Sweden.
Background: Musculoskeletal pain (MSKP) disorders entail a significant burden for individuals and healthcare systems. The PainSMART-strategy has been developed aiming to reduce divergences between patients and healthcare practitioners in their understanding of MSKP by providing a shared basis for communication and to facilitate patients' self-management of MSKP. The objective of the PainSMART-project is to evaluate the effects of the PainSMART-strategy as an adjunct to usual physiotherapy management compared to usual physiotherapy management alone.
