Background And Purpose: Self-assessment may be a way for clinicians to focus on continued clinical competence. Self-assessment is the clinicians' ability to assess their skills, identify their educational needs, evaluate their progress, and determine the strengths and weaknesses of their performance. The purpose of this study was to describe selected physical therapists' perceptions of self-assessment in their clinical practice.
Subjects: The subjects were four practicing physical therapists who were willing to discuss the topic of self-assessment.
Methods: A qualitative methodology using in-depth interviews generated the data for analysis.
Results: The themes related to self-assessment of competence, patient outcome, and professional development were identified as a result of this study.
Conclusion And Discussion: Within these three themes of self-assessment, the subjects wanted to improve themselves as clinicians to be better able to serve their patients.

Introduction: Detecting Freezing of Gait (FOG) poses challenges, with the subjective 6-item FOG Questionnaire relying solely on patient perception. We aim to create a holistic FOG Detection Toolkit combining subjective and objective elements (descriptions, images, and videos) to improve FOG detection precision.
Methods: Development of the FOG Detection Toolkit involved a detailed cover sheet on FOG and its triggers, along with video exemplars and a 4-item FOG-specific self-assessment questionnaire, all rigorously validated.
The Problem: People use social media platforms to chat, search, and share information, express their opinions, and connect with others. But these platforms also facilitate the posting of divisive, harmful, and hateful messages, targeting groups and individuals, based on their race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political views. Hate content is not only a problem on the Internet, but also on traditional media, especially in places where the Internet is not widely available or in rural areas.
