Clinical practice guidelines provide recommendations based on the best available evidence to assist health care professionals and patients in clinical decision-making. However, several studies have reported a gap between guideline recommendations and clinical practice in physiotherapy. Improved implementation strategies and the removal of existing barriers may facilitate the transfer of evidence into clinical practice and contribute to optimized quality of care. Objective: This paper presents the protocol for a study that aims to describe the current physiotherapy practice in patients with hip and knee osteoarthritis and to investigate physiotherapists' adherence to clinical practice guidelines, to identify and specify barriers to and facilitators of guideline use and implementation, and to develop and pilot test a theory-based tailored implementation intervention aiming to increase guideline use in osteoarthritis care. Methods: The research project is divided into 4 parts. During the first part, we will conduct a nationwide web-based survey among German physiotherapists to evaluate the current management of hip and knee osteoarthritis and to evaluate whether treatment aligns with guideline recommendations. Subsequently, semistructured interviews will be conducted to specify barriers to and facilitators of guideline use and implementation among physiotherapists (part 2). On the basis of these findings, in part 3, we will develop a theory-driven implementation intervention based on the Theoretical Domains Framework and the Behavior Change Wheel, which will be evaluated in a controlled pilot study in terms of effectiveness, feasibility, and acceptability (part 4). Results: Data collection of the web-based survey among German physiotherapists (part 1) was completed in December 2021. The semistructured interviews (part 2) were conducted between January and September 2023. Recruitment of physiotherapy practices to participate in the development of the implementation intervention is expected to start in January 2024. Conclusions: This research project aims to develop a theory-driven implementation intervention to facilitate the transfer of evidence from hip and knee osteoarthritis guidelines in physiotherapy practice. We hypothesize that successful implementation will lead to increased guideline adherence in physiotherapists, which in turn will improve the quality of care. The results from our project will provide valuable knowledge concerning the development process and effectiveness of tailored implementation interventions.}, language = {en} } @article{RoesnerSchefflerKaehleretal., author = {Roesner, Katrin and Scheffler, Bettina and Kaehler, Martina and Schmidt-Maciejewski, Bianca and Boettger, Tabea and Saal, Susanne}, title = {Effects of physical therapy modalities for motor function, functional recovery, and post-stroke complications in patients with severe stroke: a systematic review update}, series = {Systematic Reviews}, volume = {13}, journal = {Systematic Reviews}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, issn = {2046-4053}, doi = {10.1186/s13643-024-02676-0}, pages = {25}, abstract = {Background Physical therapy interventions play a crucial role in the daily care of patients recovering from severe stroke. However, the efficacy of these interventions and associated modalities, including duration, intensity, and frequency, have not been fully elucidated. In 2020, a systematic review reported the beneficial effects of physical therapy for patients with severe stroke but did not assess therapeutic modalities. We aim to update the current evidence on the effects of physical therapy interventions and their modalities in relation to the recovery phase in people with severe stroke in a hospital or inpatient rehabilitation facility. Methods We searched CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Web of Science, and three other relevant databases between December 2018 and March 2021 and updated the search between April 2021 and March 2023. ClinicalTrials.gov and ICTRP for searching trial registries helped to identify ongoing RCTs since 2023. We included individual and cluster randomized controlled trials in the English and German languages that compared physical therapy interventions to similar or other interventions, usual care, or no intervention in a hospital or rehabilitation inpatient setting. We screened the studies from this recent review for eligibility criteria, especially according to the setting. Critical appraisal was performed according to the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool 2.0. The data were synthesized narratively. Results The update identified 15 new studies, cumulating in a total of 30 studies (n = 2545 participants) meeting the eligibility criteria. These studies reported 54 outcomes and 20 physical therapy interventions. Two studies included participants during the hyperacute phase, 4 during the acute phase,18 during the early subacute phase, and 3 in the late subacute phase. Three studies started in the chronic phase. Summarised evidence has revealed an uncertain effect of physical therapy on patient outcomes (with moderate to low-quality evidence). Most studies showed a high risk of bias and did not reach the optimal sample size. Little was stated about the standard care and their therapy modalities. Discussion There is conflicting evidence for the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions in patients with severe stroke. There is a need for additional high-quality studies that also systematically report therapeutic modalities from a multidimensional perspective in motor stroke recovery. Due to the high risk of bias and the generally small sample size of the included studies, the generalizability of the findings to large and heterogeneous volumes of outcome data is limited.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO CRD42021244285.}, language = {en} } @misc{BahnsSchefflerKopkow, author = {Bahns, Carolin and Scheffler, Bettina and Kopkow, Christian}, title = {Implementing Osteoarthritis Guidelines in Physiotherapy in Germany : study protocol of a mixed-method study using the theoretical domains framework and the behaviour change wheel}, series = {Osteoarthritis and Cartilage}, volume = {30}, journal = {Osteoarthritis and Cartilage}, number = {Supplement 1}, issn = {1063-4584}, doi = {10.1016/j.joca.2022.02.520}, pages = {S386}, language = {en} } @misc{RennerJeitzinerAlbertetal., author = {Renner, Caroline and Jeitziner, Marie-Madlen and Albert, Monika and Brinkmann, Sabine and Diserens, Karin and Dzialowski, Imanuel and Heidler, Maria-Dorothea and L{\"u}ck, Martina and Nusser-M{\"u}ller-Busch, Ricki and Sandor, Peter S. and Sch{\"a}fer, Andreas and Scheffler, Bettina and Wallesch, Claus and Zimmermann, Gudrun and Nydahl, Peter}, title = {Guideline on multimodal rehabilitation for patients with post-intensive care syndrome}, series = {Critical Care}, volume = {27}, journal = {Critical Care}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, issn = {1364-8535}, doi = {10.1186/s13054-023-04569-5}, pages = {1 -- 14}, abstract = {Background Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survivors often experience several impairments in their physical, cognitive, and psychological health status, which are labeled as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). The aim of this work is to develop a multidisciplinary and -professional guideline for the rehabilitative therapy of PICS. Methods A multidisciplinary/-professional task force of 15 healthcare professionals applied a structured, evidence-based approach to address 10 scientific questions. For each PICO-question (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome), best available evidence was identified. Recommendations were rated as "strong recommendation", "recommendation" or "therapy option", based on Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation principles. In addition, evidence gaps were identified. Results The evidence resulted in 12 recommendations, 4 therapy options, and one statement for the prevention or treatment of PICS. Recommendations: early mobilization, motor training, and nutrition/dysphagia management should be performed. Delirium prophylaxis focuses on behavioral interventions. ICU diaries can prevent/treat psychological health issues like anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders. Early rehabilitation approaches as well as long-term access to specialized rehabilitation centers are recommended. Therapy options include additional physical rehabilitation interventions. Statement: A prerequisite for the treatment of PICS are the regular and repeated assessments of the physical, cognitive and psychological health in patients at risk for or having PICS. Conclusions PICS is a variable and complex syndrome that requires an individual multidisciplinary, and multiprofessional approach. Rehabilitation of PICS should include an assessment and therapy of motor-, cognitive-, and psychological health impairments.}, language = {en} } @misc{SchefflerBahnsKopkow, author = {Scheffler, Bettina and Bahns, Carolin and Kopkow, Christian}, title = {Bridging the gap : wie Implementierungsforschung die Physiotherapie verbessern kann}, series = {Physioscience : Wissenschaft \& Forschung in der Physiotherapie}, volume = {21}, journal = {Physioscience : Wissenschaft \& Forschung in der Physiotherapie}, number = {02}, publisher = {Thieme}, address = {Stuttgart}, issn = {1860-3092}, doi = {10.1055/a-2527-8921}, pages = {53 -- 55}, abstract = {Seit den Anf{\"a}ngen der physiotherapeutischen Forschung, der Forderung nach evidenzbasierter Physiotherapiepraxis sowie der Etablierung der Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) wurde ein umfassender Korpus qualitativ hochwertiger Prim{\"a}r- und Sekund{\"a}rliteratur geschaffen, der eine wissenschaftlich begr{\"u}ndete Entscheidungsfindung in der Physiotherapie erm{\"o}glicht [1] [2].

Studies have reported a gap between research findings and clinical practice in physiotherapy. Guideline adherence is often used as a measure of agreement between therapeutic care and guideline recommendations. However, there is currently no standardised methodological approach for measuring guideline adherence.Aims and ObjectiveThe objective of this scoping review was to summarise the methods and results of studies that assessed guideline adherence in physiotherapy.MethodsMEDLINE, EMBASE, PEDro and CENTRAL databases were searched for relevant literature up to December 2022. Published reports of observational studies and controlled clinical trials that provided information on the assessment of guideline adherence in physiotherapists were included. The selection process was performed independently by two reviewers. The methodological quality of the identified reports was not assessed. Results were summarised narratively.ResultsFrom a total of 2560 potentially relevant records, 53 reports were included in the analysis. Physiotherapists' adherence to guidelines was primarily assessed in the context of musculoskeletal conditions, such as low back pain (n = 25, 47.2\%) and osteoarthritis (n = 8, 15.1\%). A wide range of measurement approaches were used with the majority of reports using web-based surveys (n = 21, 39.6\%), followed by chart reviews (n = 17, 32.1\%). Most reports (n = 21, 39.6\%) provided information on the level of adherence in terms of frequency dichotomising (self-reported) clinical practice as adherent or non-adherent. Adherence rates varied widely between included reports.ConclusionsAlthough the large number of included reports indicates a high level of interest in the topic of guideline adherence, there is considerable heterogeneity between studies regarding the methodological approaches used to assess guideline adherence in physiotherapists. This reduces the comparability of the study results.Trial RegistrationINPLASY (registration no. 202250081). Registered on 12th May 2022.}, language = {en} }
