- Physical rehabilitation approaches for the recovery of function and mobility following stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Apr-2014
Various approaches to physical rehabilitation may be used after stroke, and considerable controversy and debate surround the effectiveness of relative approaches. Some physiotherapists base their treatments on a single approach; others use a mixture of co - Physical rehabilitation for critical illness myopathy and neuropathy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Mar-2015
Intensive care unit (ICU) acquired or generalised weakness due to critical illness myopathy (CIM) and polyneuropathy (CIP) are major causes of chronically impaired motor function that can affect activities of daily living and quality of life. Physical reh - Physical rehabilitation for older people in long-term care
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Jan-2013
The worldwide population is progressively ageing, with an expected increase in morbidity and demand for long-term care. Physical rehabilitation is beneficial in older people, but relatively little is known about effects on long-term care residents. This i - Physical tests for shoulder impingements and local lesions of bursa, tendon or labrum that may accompany impingement
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Mar-2013
Impingement is a common cause of shoulder pain. Impingement mechanisms may occur subacromially (under the coraco-acromial arch) or internally (within the shoulder joint), and a number of secondary pathologies may be associated. These include subacromial-s - Physical therapies for prevention of urinary and faecal incontinence in adults

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-May-2008
Lymphoedema is the accumulation of excess fluid in the body caused by obstruction of the lymphatic drainage mechanisms. Management involves decongesting the reduced lymphatic pathways in order to reduce the size of the limb. There is a great deal of debat - Physical therapy for Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 20-Jan-2012
Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis) is commonly treated by various physical therapy strategies and devices, but there are many questions about their efficacy. - Physical training for asthma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Sep-2013
People with asthma may show less tolerance to exercise due to worsening asthma symptoms during exercise or other reasons such as deconditioning as a consequence of inactivity. Some may restrict activities as per medical advice or family influence and this - Physical training for bronchiectasis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Sep-2008
The pathophysiology of bronchiectasis may result in the development of dyspnoea and decreased exercise tolerance, both of which can impact on a patient's quality of life and ability to perform activities of daily living. There is little information regard - Physical training for McArdle disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Feb-2012
McArdle disease is a rare metabolic myopathy caused by a complete absence of the enzyme muscle glycogen phosphorylase. Affected people experience symptoms of fatigue and cramping within minutes of exercise and are at risk for acute muscle injury (rhabdomy - Physician advice for smoking cessation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 31-May-2013
Healthcare professionals frequently advise people to improve their health by stopping smoking. Such advice may be brief, or part of more intensive interventions. - Physician anaesthetists versus non-physician providers of anaesthesia for surgical patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Jul-2014
With increasing demand for surgery, pressure on healthcare providers to reduce costs, and a predicted shortfall in the number of medically qualified anaesthetists it is important to consider whether non-physician anaesthetists (NPAs), who do not have a me - Physiotherapist-led programmes and interventions for rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament and meniscal injuries of the knee in adults

Soft-tissue injuries of the knee, mainly involving the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and menisci, are common and their rehabilitation after non-surgical or surgical treatment often involves intensive and prolonged - Physiotherapy for pain and disability in adults with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) types I and II
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Feb-2016
Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a painful and disabling condition that usually manifests in response to trauma or surgery. When it occurs, it is associated with significant pain and disability. It is thought to arise and persist as a consequence - Physiotherapy for Parkinson's disease: a comparison of techniques
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-May-2014
Despite medical therapies and surgical interventions for Parkinson's disease (PD), patients develop progressive disability. The role of physiotherapy is to maximise functional ability and minimise secondary complications through movement rehabilitation wi - Physiotherapy interventions for ankylosing spondylitis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Nov-2008
