Cervical myelopathy is spinal cord dysfunction due to compression caused by narrowing of the spinal canal (McCartney et al 2018).

The pathophysiology of cervical cord compression (myelopathy) involves static and dynamic factors.

Physiotherapist supervision increases the benefits of exercise in chronic Guillain-Barré syndrome

Guillain-Barré syndrome is a rare (around 1 in 100,000) polyneuropathy causing limb weakness, areflexia, autonomic dysfunction and respiratory paralysis.

Severe residual disability occurs in about 10 to 20 per cent of patients.

Six finalists will present their physiotherapy products and ideas at PitchFest 2022.

Most of us think of older people, in their 50s or above, when we think of hip pain and osteoarthritis (OA).

How large was your survey and what was the response rate?

We invited clinical education managers from all 21 universities in Australia that had graduating entry-level physiotherapy students in 2017 to participate.

Walking is often a difficult task for people who have had a stroke and their walking performance can be affected by doing another task at the same time. There has been a lot of research on this topic. How much evidence was able to be included in the review?

A total of 76 studies involving 2425 people after stroke and 492 people without stroke were included in the review.

The initial recommendations were very timely. How much uptake and interest in them was there?

The interest in the initial paper was overwhelming.

Tell us a bit about the course. Who would benefit most from attending ‘Upper limb constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT)’?

There is strong evidence supporting the use of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) to improve upper limb function after stroke, suggesting that we as clinicians should be providing it to our patients.
