ABSTRACT This study aimed to describe the distribution of physical therapists in the Brazilian primary health care (PHC) and the ratio of inhabitants per physical therapist in PHC, according to the National Register of Health Service Providers (CNES - Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde). A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from CNES and Census/2010 data. In total, 6,917 physical therapists were registered in PHC, and most were located in the Southeast region (49%). Southeast and South were the regions with the best ratios of inhabitants per physical therapist in PHC (about 23,000/1). The North presented a ratio of 32,000 inhabitants/professional. 47% of the Brazilian cities have a physical therapist in PHC. Our analysis by population size indicated a higher percentage of physical therapists in PHC in small (39%) and midsize cities (34%). The best inhabitants/physical therapist ratio occurred in small cities of the Southeast (6,948/1) and the worst, in metropolises of the Midwest (371,672/1). Small cities have physical therapists only in PHC; on the other hand, most cities of larger sizes have physical therapists in all health care levels.

Abstract Introduction: With the creation of the Support Center for Family Health (NASF) and the high insertion of physiotherapists in this, it is necessary to have a better knowledge on this category's current work. Objective: To analyze the process of work of physiotherapists at NASF and their education, and the technological tools usage. Methods: Transversal study, descriptive, analytic, enforced by online semi-structured questionnaires to NASF's physiotherapists in Mato Grosso do Sul. The results were analyzed through descriptive statistics and chi-square test (significant level of 5%). Results: 37 physiotherapists (21 cities) participated. Among them, 27% Family-Health/Primary-Health-Care post graduates, and 51.4% in other clinical areas. Most (91,9%) did not receive enough capacitation when joining NASF, and 94.6% consider that did not have enough knowledge to do their activities. The articulation NASF and Family-Health-Strategy team is considered unsatisfactory to 51.3%. Individual rehabilitation is the most carried activity on a daily basis (59.5%), and NASF's tools are used by less than half, except the Amplified Clinic, which is used by 54,1% of physiotherapists. There was a significant association between capacitation to NASF's work and the tools usage of Singular-Therapeutic Project, Territorial Health Project and Support Pact. There was no association between the tools usage and the specialization in Family Health. Conclusion: The assistive and rehabilitator model has been the conductor of physiotherapists' actions. NASF's tools are little used. These results are explained due to the limited knowledge about NASF's attributions, resulting from the small capacitation offer to these activities and the traditional rehabilitator education.

Self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of completing home exercise programs (HEPs). How physical therapists address low levels of self-efficacy is unknown. Our objectives were to determine (1) knowledge and confidence in addressing patients’ self-efficacy; (2) strategies used to address low self-efficacy; and (3) barriers. Licensed physical therapists who are actively treating patients in the United States participated in our mixed-methods study consisting of: (1) a survey on knowledge, barriers, and confidence; and (2) interviews on strategies used to address low self-efficacy. Descriptive statistics were calculated on all quantitative data. Braun and Clarke’s 6-phase thematic analysis was used for the qualitative data. All 37 participants believed that self-efficacy impacts HEP completion. The majority (72.9%) reported addressing low self-efficacy. Barriers that impacted the ability to address low self-efficacy (Theme 1) included lack of knowledge, confidence, tools, guidance, and community resources, patients’ past experiences and complexities, inability to follow-up with patients, and reimbursement. Due to these barriers, participants primarily addressed patients’ low self-efficacy via communication (Theme 2) and ensuring successful exercise completion (Theme 3). Instead of using Bandura’s fours sources of self-efficacy (i.e., mastery experiences, verbal persuasion, vicarious experiences, physiological state), participants verbalized addressing low self-efficacy via communication and successful exercise completion. Thus, implementation studies evaluating strategies to overcome the identified barriers are needed. Self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of completing home exercise programs (HEPs) as prescribed. Instead of using evidence-informed strategies, physical therapists primarily address low self-efficacy via communication and ensuring that patients complete exercises successfully by simplifying the exercises and repeating the exercises until able to do them without cues. Barriers that keep physical therapists from using evidence-informed strategies include lack of knowledge, confidence, tools, guidance, and community resources, patients’ past experiences and complexities, inability to follow-up with patients, and reimbursement. Physical therapists’ ability to address low self-efficacy and increase HEP completion, can be improved by resolving clinical barriers (i.e., lack of knowledge) with implementation strategies (i.e., training).

The PHYTMO database contains data from physical therapy exercises and gait variations recorded with magneto-inertial sensors, including information from an optical reference system. PHYTMO includes the recording of 30 volunteers, aged between 20 and 70 years old. A total amount of 6 exercises and 3 gait variations commonly prescribed in physical therapies were recorded. The volunteers performed two series with a minimum of 8 repetitions in each one. Four magneto-inertial sensors were placed on the lower-or upper-limbs for the recording of the motions together with passive optical reflectors. The files include the specifications of the inertial sensors and the cameras. The database includes magneto-inertial data (linear acceleration, turn rate and magnetic field), together with a highly accurate location and orientation in the 3D space provided by the optical system (errors are lower than 1mm). The database files were stored in CSV format to ensure usability with common data processing software. The main aim of this dataset is the availability of inertial data for two main purposes: the analysis of different techniques for the identification and evaluation of exercises monitored with inertial wearable sensors and the validation of inertial sensor-based algorithms for human motion monitoring that obtains segments orientation in the 3D space. Furthermore, the database stores enough data to train and evaluate Machine Learning-based algorithms. The age range of the participants can be useful for establishing age-based metrics for the exercises evaluation or the study of differences in motions between different aged groups. Finally, the MATLAB function features_extraction, developed by the authors, is also given. This function splits signals using a sliding window, returning its segments, and extract signal features, in the time and frequency domains, based on prior studies of the literature.

Background: This study aimed to analyze the influence of ageist beliefs of practicing physical therapists (PTs) on their expectations concerning the behavior and outcomes of patients with orthopedic conditions. We hypothesized that stronger ageist beliefs would be related to expectations of worse outcomes and less treatment adherence in older patients compared to clinically identical younger patients.Methods: Seventy-one (71) practicing PTs with a mean age of 40 years (+/-10.44, range 24-67) were recruited via snowball sampling. Participants were randomly assigned a case involving either a 42-year-old (YCG) or an 85-year-old patient (OCG) s/p surgical repair of a femoral shaft fracture. Participants were asked questions related to their expectations concerning the patient’s clinical and functional outcomes, response and adherence to physical therapy, and patient responsibility for their own outcomes. To measure ageism, participants completed the Kogan Attitude Toward Old People Scale consisting of 34 paired (positive/negative) statements.

The physical therapy software market was estimated at USD 1.08 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 2.27 billion in 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.8 % during the forecast year. Factors Affecting Physical Therapy Software Market Growth

The increasing prevalence of osteoporosis will propel the physical therapy software market

The market for physical therapy software is expanding due to the rising incidence of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that develops when bone quality or structure changes or when bone mineral density and mass drop. Low calcium consumption increases the risk of developing osteoporosis in a person. Information about treatment plans, claims, invoices, or home exercise advice is provided to patients using physical therapy software during their clinical process. For instance, on 24 May 2022, Amgen, a US-based biotechnology company claimed that every year, osteoporosis results in around 1.5 million fractures in the United States, with associated costs of $19 billion. In addition, it is predicted that from 2018 to 2040, there will be a 68% increase in the number of fractures caused by osteoporosis every year, from 1.9 million to 3.2 million. The physical therapy software industry will therefore be driven by an increase in the prevalence of osteoporosis.
