Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. The purpose of this study is to explore factors that may influence student success in a graduate clinical neuroscience course using a survey. Success in a neuroscience course may be supported with prior science coursework and additional resources such as a tutor, visuals, and other supplementary materials. OT and physical therapy programs may consider implementing a neuroscience course that provides additional resources in order to facilitate student success. Primary Author and Speaker: Cassie A.

Objective: The study was conducted toascertain the percentage of physiotherapist who were utilizing the outcome measures during the treatment of patients and to find the factors which were potentiating the physiotherapists in implementing the outcome measuring tools in the treatment of their patients. On the other hand, such factors were also looked into which were considered as obstacles by the physiotherapists in the use of the tools. Methodology: The estimated study population size was 242. Data was collected through e-mail as well as through one-on-one meeting with the physiotherapists by using a standard questionnaire (appendix I) and was analyzed through SPSS version 20. Results: It was found that 78 percent of the study participants were using the outcome measures in the assessments of the patients and for finding the progression in their condition. The feeling of the patient about the keen involvement of the physiotherapist in his treatment, enhanced communication between two of them and increased efficiency of examination were the major facilitators which urged the physiotherapists to use outcome measures in their practice. The most frequent barriers seen were the duration required by physiotherapist to analyze the score and duration of patient to complete it. Conclusion: The main facilitators are increased communication between physiotherapist and patient and enhanced the efficacy of assessment. Alternatively, the main barriers restricting the usage of outcome measures are reported to be the inability to complete the various assessment tools due to the lack of time on the part of the patient as well as the physical therapist.

BACKGROUND To find out the prevalence and to highlight the risk factors of low back pain in home-based physical therapist. STUDY DESIGN AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE A cross-sectional survey study with non-probability convenience sampling technique STUDY SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS 200 physical therapists that were doing home patients in Karachi, either without or with their jobs were the part of this study. They were either self-employed or affiliated to different hospitals. DATA COLLECTING TOOL AND DATA ANALYSIS A questionnaire was used to collect data, which was adopted from Nordic questionnaire and other researches. The collected data was analyzed on SPSS 20. RESULTS 93 % home-based physical therapists had experienced the work-related pain or discomfort in the last 12 months. Among them the low back is the highly affected site with prevalence of 81.5%. Their working status of job in physical therapy department or academics with home-based physical therapy had a significant difference in presence or absence of work related pain or discomfort. CONCLUSION This study shows that home-based physical therapists are more prone to develop work-related problems and had higher prevalence of work-related LBP. This may be due to more work load, lower bed height of home patients, poor ergonomics at homes of patients and poor posture of physical therapists.

Cognitive Traits

Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to develop a survey addressing an individual’s non-cognitive traits, such as emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills, social intelligence, psychological flexibility, and grit. Such a tool would provide beneficial information for the continued development of admissions standards and would help better capture the full breadth of experience and capabilities of applicants applying to doctor of physical therapy (DPT) programs. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey study involving learners in DPT programs at 3 academic institutions in the United States. A survey was developed based on established non-proprietary, non-cognitive measures affiliated with success and resilience. The survey was assessed for face validity, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify subgroups of factors based on responses to the items. Results: A total of 298 participants (90.3%) completed all elements of the survey. EFA yielded 39 items for dimensional assessment with regression coefficients < 0.4. Within the 39 items, 3 latent constructs were identified: adaptability (16 items), intuitiveness (12 items), and engagement (11 items). Conclusion: This preliminary non-cognitive assessment survey will be able to play a valuable role in DPT admissions decisions following further examination and refinement.

STUDY SETTINGS & PARTICIPANTS The study was conducted on a 100 pregnant women at three tertiary care hospitals in Karachi. RESULTS It was found that these women were well informed about the Physical therapy (76%) but everyone did not practice physiotherapy in their multi-pregnancies. CONCLUSION The results show that the perception and knowledge of women regarding physical therapy exercise during the multiple pregnancies is reasonable.

Research Findings

Abstract Background Evidence about the role of physical therapy in perioperative care pathways to improve postoperative outcomes is growing. However, it is unclear whether research findings have been translated into daily practice. Objective The objectives of this study were to describe the current content and between-hospital variability of perioperative physical therapist management for patients undergoing colorectal, hepatic, or pancreatic resection in the Netherlands and to compare currently recommended state-of-the-art physical therapy with self-reported daily clinical physical therapist management. Design This was a cross-sectional survey study. Methods Hospital physical therapists were asked to complete an online survey about pre- and postoperative physical therapy at their hospital. To explore the variability of perioperative physical therapist management between hospitals, frequency variables were clustered to determine the level of uniformity. Latent class analysis was performed to identify clusters of hospitals with certain homogeneous characteristics on a 19-item dichotomous scale. Results Of 82 eligible Dutch hospitals, 65 filled out the survey (79.3%). Preoperative physical therapy was performed in 34 hospitals (54.0%; 2/65 responding hospitals were excluded from the data analysis). Postoperative physical therapy was performed in all responding hospitals, focusing mainly on regaining independent physical functioning. Latent class analysis identified a 3-class model. Hospitals in classes I and II were more likely to provide preoperative physical therapist interventions than hospitals in class III. Limitations The use of self-reported answers can lead to bias. Conclusions There was a wide degree of variability between hospitals regarding pre- and postoperative clinical physical therapist practice for patients opting for major abdominal surgery. Three different classes of daily practice were identified. Further translation of key research findings into clinical physical therapist practice is advised, especially for hospitals in which the physical therapist is not involved preoperatively. Moreover, improving uniformity by developing up-to-date clinical guidelines is recommended.
