Discussion Podcast: Clinical Decision Making in Exercise Prescription for Fall Prevention | As the elderly population grows, increasing numbers of patients will be seeking rehabilitation because of falls or declining balance. In "Clinical Decision Making in Exercise Prescription for Fall Prevention" (May 2012), Terry Haines and colleagues analyzed the clinical decision-making processes used by expert clinicians to prescribe fall prevention exercises. They found that expert clinicians did not routinely provide "off-the-shelf" exercise programs; instead, the clinicians modified programs to meet individual requirements of each patient, based largely on examination findings. In this podcast, Haines, Anne Shumway-Cook, and moderator Kathleen Gill-Body discuss the study findings and the future of falls research. What are the factors influencing the clinical decision-making process in falls prevention? Are "off-the-shelf" exercise programs "good enough" at reducing falls? Do the individualized exercise programs provide additional benefit, or are they unnecessary? What strategies can be used to improve adherence? Do physical therapists need a new terminology to describe intensity and degree of difficulty of balance training? | 5/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion Podcast: Exercise Treatments for Patients With Low Back Pain | In "Effect of Motor Control Exercises Versus Graded Activity in Patients With Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial" (March 2012), Luciana MacedoPT, PhD, and colleagues conducted a head-to-head comparison of 2 intervention approaches for low back pain: graded activity and motor control exercise. They found no statistical differences between either intervention in any of the primary and secondary outcomes. In this podcast, Macedo is joined by moderator Steven George, PT, PhD, and Nadine Foster, DPhil, BSc(Hons), MCSP, PGCE, a clinical trials expert and an internationally recognized expert in low back pain, to discuss the clinical implications of these findings. When comparing exercise interventions head to head, do physical therapists need to use different trial designs, change the outcome measures, or consider factors other than outcomes, such as cost effectiveness or patient satisfaction, to determine the superiority of one exercise intervention over another? | 5/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Quality Indicators in Physical Therapist Practice | The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act contains provisions to increase health care quality and shift Medicare payment to a pay-for-quality model. As part of this shift toward pay-for-quality, health care providers, starting in 2013, will be required to report the inclusion of quality indicators during patient visits. However, in an electronic survey conducted by Diane Jette, PT, DSc, and Dianne Jewell, PT, DPT, PhD, CCS, only 6% to 36% of physical therapist respondents used standardized quality measures with at least 90% of their patients. What accounts for this apparent low frequency? Jette and Jewell are joined by moderator and PTJ Editor in Chief Rebecca Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA, and APTA's Program Director of Quality Heather Smith, PT, MPH, to discuss the implications of their findings. | 4/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Telehealth for Physical Therapist Practice | Telehealth--the delivery of health-related services and information via telecommunications technologies--is emerging as one way to improve quality and access to health care. Alan Lee and Nancy Harada, in their Health Policy in Perspective article "Telehealth as a Means of Health Care Delivery for Physical Therapist Practice" (March 2012), examine some of the biggest barriers to the implementation of telehealth in the physical therapy profession--reimbursement and licensure--and identify strategies to overcome them. In this podcast, Alan Lee, PT, PhD, DPT, CWS, GCS, Katharine Stout, PT, DPT, CBIS, and moderator Michel Landry, PT, PhD, discuss the opportunity that telehealth provides to the physical therapy profession--and what will happen if the profession doesn't seize this opportunity. Are patients and clinicians comfortable with telehealth? What is the role of the private sector in addressing telehealth? How can the profession prepare the next generation of physical therapists for telehealth? What can physical therapists do at the grassroots level to implement telehealth? The opinions expressed by Dr Stout in this presentation are her personal views and do not reflect the official views of the Department of Defense or United States government. | 3/6/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Direct Consumer Access to Physical Therapy | Consumers have direct access to physical therapy services in 46 states. Michigan is 1 of only 4 states that does not allow consumers to go directly to a physical therapist without a referral from a physician. In "Direct Consumer Access to Physical Therapy in Michigan: Challenges to Policy Adoption" (February 2012), Shoemaker analyzes why several direct access bills did not pass the Michigan legislature. This podcast focuses on the legislative process, the lessons learned from the Michigan experience, the concerns raised by opponents of direct access, and how direct access varies from state to state. Participants: Michael Shoemaker, PT, DPT, GCS; Rick Gawenda, PT; and Angela Chasteen. Moderator: Linda Resnik, PT, PhD, OCS. | 1/31/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Self-Referral in Physical Therapy: Does It Matter? | Although 46 states allow physical therapists to evaluate and treat patients without a prior physician referral, Medicare and some private health insurers still require a physician referral before payment for outpatient physical therapy services. Is a physician "gatekeeper" still necessary for quality of care and cost containment? In "A Comparison of Health Care Use for Physician-Referred and Self-Referred Episodes of Outpatient Physical Therapy," a recent article in Health Services Research--an article that moderator Linda Resnik, PT, PhD, OCS, calls "the strongest and most important paper on this topic to date"--Pendergast and colleagues compared patient profiles and health care use of patients who received physical therapy after physician referral and patients who received physical therapy through self-referral. After adjusting for key variables, including disease severity, they found that the self-referral group had fewer visits and lower overall health care costs than the physician referral group, with no differences in outcomes. In this discussion podcast, Resnik is joined by Jane Pendergast, PhD, and Pamela Duffy, PT, PhD, OCS, CPC, 2 of the authors of the study, and Michael Johnson, PT, PhD, OCS, a direct access advocate at the state and federal levels, to discuss how the study was conducted and its implications for health care policy and quality. | 1/17/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: International Perspectives on the Development and Use of Clinical Guidelines in Physical Therapy | The physical therapy profession has assembled a substantial evidence base of more than 20,000 trials on interventions provided by physical therapists. Clinical guidelines provide a way for clinicians to interpret this mountain of evidence for patient care. The ProfessionWatch paper "Development of Clinical Guidelines in Physical Therapy: Perspective for International Collaboration" (October 2011) outlines an international approach to the creation of clinical guidelines and evidence statements that could be customized for each country based on its economic status and health care system. In this podcast, the lead author, Philip Van der Wees, PT, PhD, is joined by 2 experts on clinical practice guidelines--Trudy Rebbeck, PhD, FACP, MAppSc (ManipPhty), BAppSc (Phty), and Joseph Godges, PT, DPT--and moderator Daniel Riddle, PT, PhD, FAPTA, to discuss the issues raised by the ProfessionWatch paper: (1) What are the advantages of international collaboration in the development of clinical guidelines? (2) How might these guidelines be tailored for low- and middle-income countries? (3) How can clinical guidelines be better implemented? | 11/18/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Outcome Measures for People With Parkinson Disease | In their article "Profile of Functional Limitations and Task Performance Among People With Early- and Middle-Stage Parkinson Disease" (September 2011), Dr Margaret Schenkman, PT, PhD, FAPTA, and colleagues used cross-sectional data from 5 different studies to summarize the expected values, by disease stage, of variety of tests and measures used to quantify the functional performance of people in the early and middle stages of Parkinson disease (PD). According to Schenkman, this database of typical values will allow clinicians and researchers to interpret the functional status of individual patients and study participants with PD. In this podcast, Schenkman is joined by Kathleen Gill-Body, PT, DPT, NCS, a neurologic clinical specialist and a member of PTJ's Editorial Board, and PTJ Editor-in-Chief Rebecca Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA, to discuss how benchmarks can best be used in clinical practice. Can these data be used for goal setting and prognosis? Are certain measures more appropriate for particular stages of PD? Would a combination of measures, rather than a single measure, better identify early functional deterioration in people with PD? | 10/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Age-Related Differences in Muscle Fatigue | The August 2011 article "Age-Related Differences in Muscle Fatigue Vary by Contraction Type: A Meta-analysis" reported a counter-intuitive result: for some contraction types, particularly isometric and intermittent isometric contractions, older adults are more resistant to muscle fatigue than younger adults. The authors of the study--Keith Avin, PT, DPT, and Laura Frey-Law, PT, PhD--join moderator Carolynn Patten, PT, PhD, to discuss the results of this article and their clinical implications. Why are these differences in muscle fatigue important? What physiological or neurological factors might explain these results? What role does task complexity play? Does the term "fatigue" mean different things physiologically and perceptually? | 10/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Physical Therapist Practice in the Acute Care Setting | Acute care is a complex practice environment where the medical condition of the patients is often dire; however, the role physical therapists play in this setting is not well understood. The June 2011 article "Physical Therapist Practice in the Acute Care Setting: A Qualitative Study" examined the role of physical therapists in acute care and the skills and decision-making processes that they use. In this podcast, two of authors, Diane Jette and Carey-Leah Havrilko, are joined by Sharon Gorman, the lead author of a recent practice analysis of acute care physical therapy, Gail Jensen, an expert on qualitative studies, and moderator Rebecca Craik to discuss how physical therapists practice the acute care setting. What does a qualitative study add to our understanding of the acute care environment? How does acute care differ from other practice settings? Are physical therapist education programs adequately preparing their graduates to practice in acute care settings? Should acute care be a specialty? | 8/25/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Overuse, Underuse, and Misuse of Physical Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain | Although patients with chronic low back pain constitute a large portion of the caseload of many outpatient physical therapists, little is known about the quality of care these patients receive and whether these patients have adequate access to physical therapy care. In their April 2011 article "Physical Therapy for Chronic Low Back Pain in North Carolina: Overuse, Underuse, or Misuse?," Janet Freburger and colleagues surveyed patients with chronic low back pain in North Carolina. Fewer than one third of the patients surveyed saw a physical therapist. Furthermore, those patients who did see a physical therapist did not always receive evidence-based treatments. In this podcast, lead author Freburger is joined by Dr Anthony Delitto and moderator Dr Linda Resnik to discuss how the study fits into the larger picture of physical therapy utilization. What are the pros and cons of defining quality of care in terms of overuse, underuse, and misuse? What is the best way to define quality of care? How can physical therapists be encouraged to adopt best practices? What steps should the profession take to improve access, particularly for the uninsured? | 7/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Outpatient Physical Therapy Utilization and Outcomes for Medicare Beneficiaries: Implications for the Profession | The explosive growth in Medicare has prompted calls to change current payment practices from fee-for-service toward a payment system based on quality and efficiency of care. However, more research on outcomes and utilization is required in order to make this shift in the Medicare payment system. In "Utilization and Clinical Outcomes of Outpatient Physical Therapy for Medicare Beneficiaries With Musculoskeletal Conditions" (March 2011), a group of researchers from Intermountain Healthcare described the characteristics, clinical outcomes, and utilization of physical therapy in Medicare beneficiaries in their integrated healthcare system. Authors Julie Fritz, PT, PhD, ATC, and Stephen Hunter, PT, MS, OCS, are joined by Justin Moore, PT, DPT, APTA's Vice President of Payment and Advocacy, to discuss the implications of this article, which moderator Daniel Riddle, PT, PhD, FAPTA, describes as "incredibly important for practice." What is the average utilization of physical therapy for certain diagnoses, and what are the outcomes? According to Moore, policy makers tend to make decisions based on one variable-utilization-but is lower utilization always associated with higher quality and better outcomes? What is the "sweet spot" of utilization and quality? What outcome measures should be used to help determine quality? | 7/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Do Physical Therapists Publish What They Preach? | In "Full-Text Publication of Abstract-Presented Work in Physical Therapy: Do Therapists Publish What They Preach?" (February 2011), Dr Stuart Warden and colleagues found that about 25% of abstracts presented at the Combined Sections Meeting between 2000 and 2004 ultimately made it to full-text publication. Although this number seems low, what does it really say about the quality of scholarship in the physical therapy profession? In this discussion podcast, Warden is joined by two editors in chief, Dr Rebecca Craik and Dr Guy Simoneau, and moderator Dr Chris Maher to discuss the implications of this study. Are the findings different from those in other health care professions? What can be done to increase this publication rate? Is research presented at conferences really ready for publication? What are the purposes of conference presentation? Is there a bias against the publication of negative findings? | 7/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Locomotor Training in People With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury | In "Influence of a Locomotor Training Approach on Walking Speed and Distance in People With Chronic Spinal Cord Injury: A Randomized Clinical Trial" (January 2011), Edelle Field-Fote and Kathryn Roach found that a group of people with chronic spinal cord injuries who received overground walking retraining had greater improvement in walking speed and walking distance than 3 groups that received various treadmill-based walking retraining programs. In this discussion podcast, Dr Field-Fote is joined by Dr Michele Basso, who wrote a commentary on the article, and moderator Dr Andrea Behrman to discuss the implications of this study. The group focuses on the role of assistive devices (such as treadmills, walkers, overhead body support) in retraining walking. Do assistive devices have negative effects that manifest themselves when people with spinal cord injuries begin "real-world" walking? In order to change motor behavior, is it important, as Field-Fote suggests, to practice the task the way the task will ultimately be performed? Or, as Behrman suggests, does the use of the treadmill allow clinicians to "retrain the nervous system to be at a higher level of function" and reintroduce many higher-level skills before community ambulation begins? | 6/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: The ICF and Physical Therapist Practice | In their July 2010 article "Creating an Interface Between the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and Physical Therapist Practice" and their companion paper "Using a Case Report of a Patient With Spinal Cord Injury to Illustrate the Application of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health During Multidisciplinary Patient Management," Escorpizo and colleagues discuss ways to incorporate the ICF into clinical documentation. Is a documentation template such as the one they outlined feasible in practice? Will the implementation of the ICF in clinical practice provide tangible benefits to clinicians, or will the ICF be just "one more thing" that busy clinicians have to do? In this podcast, Escorpizo is joined by Todd Davenport, Daniel Vreeman, and Moderator Linda Resnick to discuss how the ICF might be used in day-to-day practice and the work that remains to be done to make implementation possible. The group also discusses how education programs, continuing education courses, and information technology systems might make it easier for clinicians to adopt the ICF. | 1/21/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: The Feet First Trial: Walking Exercise Programs for Patients With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy | Despite its positive effects on glycemic control and cardiovascular health, exercise has not been recommended for people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy because of concerns about increased risk for skin ulcers and falling. Authors Kruse and LeMaster discuss their article "Fall and Balance Outcomes After an Intervention to Promote Leg Strength, Balance, and Walking in People With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: 'Feet First' Randomized Controlled Trial" (November 2010). The good news, according to Kruse, is that people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy can walk without increasing their risk of falls or foot ulcers. Mueller asks the authors about the challenges of conducting a community-based research study and the challenges of motivating this patient group to exercise. | 1/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Acute Care Physical Therapist Practice Analysis | In the October 2010 issue, PTJ published the first nationwide practice analysis of acute care physical therapy: "Nationwide Acute Care Physical Therapist Practice Analysis Identifies Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviors That Reflect Acute Care Practice." Lead author Sharon Gorman, Jim Smith, and Patricia Ohtake discuss the results of this practice analysis and how they can be used by education programs in preparing students to meet the unique needs of the complex acute care environment. What makes a successful acute care physical therapist? Are there specific personality characteristics that enable a physical therapist to be effective in the acute care setting, or does success depend more on the professional evolution from novice to expert practitioner? | 12/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: The Role of Expectation in Physical Therapist Practice | In their September 2010 Perspective article "Individual Expectation: An Overlooked, but Pertinent, Factor in the Treatment of Individuals Experiencing Musculoskeletal Pain," Joel Bialosky, PT, PhD, and colleagues argue that a patient's expectation of a treatment's effectiveness may influence the clinical outcome of that treatment. Frequently, however, physical therapists don't account for patient expectation during an episode of care. How much of the outcome is the result of expectation rather than the intervention? Is the outcome determined more by the process of care rather than any individual intervention? And how do clinician expectations affect clinical decision making? Can clinicians modify patient expectation and "use" expectations in selecting interventions? In this podcast. Bialosky is joined by Nadine Foster, BSc Hons (Physiotherapy), DPhil, PGCE, and moderator and PTJ Editorial Board Member Chris Main, PhD, FBPsS, to discuss the role of patient (and therapist) expectation in treatment outcomes. | 10/25/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines for Low Back Pain in Physical Therapy: Do Patients Benefit? | In "Adherence to Clinical Practice Guidelines for Low Back Pain in Physical Therapy: Do Patients Benefit?" (August 2010), Geert Rutten and colleagues concluded that greater adherence to clinical practice guidelines when treating patients with low back pain was associated with better outcomes, such as better functioning and fewer treatments. This podcast focuses on the related problems of variation in care and how to encourage clinicians to adhere to clinical practice guidelines. Do guidelines lead to "generic" care and restrict the clinician's ability to individualize treatment based on patient presentation? Participants: Geert M. Rutten, MPH, PT, MPT; Julie M.

Discussion: Constrained Physical Therapist Practice: An Ethical Case Analysis | Physical therapists sometimes have hard decisions to make in today's health care systems. In this discussion podcast, Ernest Nalette, author of "Constrained Physical Therapist Practice: An Ethical Case Analysis of Recommending Discharge Placement From the Acute Care Setting" (June 2010), Gail Jensen, Beth Smith, and moderator Diane Jette discuss the moral dilemma of Mary, a physical therapist in an acute care hospital where resource constraints on the provision of physical therapy care cause her to provide less care than one of her patients needs. Jensen sees Mary's dilemma as a case of allocating or rationing a scarce resource-- physical therapy--in an equitable manner. Mary, says Jensen, "is actually being forced into a rationing decision." Nalette observes that rationing "has become common practice," resulting in the reduced provision of service to patients, particularly to racial and ethnic minorities and those who are poor. Does the model of physical therapist practice in acute care actually inflict this lack of fairness? If the acute care setting routinely forces physical therapists into these types of moral dilemmas, what is the role of the physical therapist in the acute care setting? | 7/29/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cost-analysis and comparative effectiveness research are important tools in demonstrating economic value. “Assessment of the Quality of Cost Analysis Literature in Physical Therapy” (August 2009) reports a study that was commissioned by APTA to rate the quality of the cost-analysis literature in physical therapy. In this podcast, the participants discuss the implications and limitations of this study and further research needs. Get insights into cost-effectiveness research—where it’s at, where it needs to go, and how the current research can, and cannot, inform clinical decisions. | 8/25/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Discussion: Developing and Using Treatment-Based Clinical Prediction Rules: Part 1 | Literature about clinical prediction rules (CPRs) is growing exponentially, and it’s one of the hottest topics in physical therapy today. Fundamental differences of opinion exist regarding the optimal approach to identifying whether subgroups of more homogeneous patients respond to a specific type of intervention. What’s the current state of CPR development—and what does it all mean for practice and research? When it comes to day-to-day clinical decisions, how confident can you be about these data? In July 2009, PTJ published a Perspective titled "A Guide to Interpretation of Studies Investigating Subgroups of Responders to Physical Therapy Interventions" by Mark Hancock, Robert D. Herbert, and Christopher G. Maher. In this podcast, 2 of the authors debate the issues with Julie Fritz. As Fritz notes, “a big problem we all deal with is the amount of variability that there is in practice.” This podcast debate faces the hard questions head on. | 7/15/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Great idea to keep current on literature
As a PT student, we are expected to keep current with the latest research and these podcasts and their bottom line podcasts are a great way to catch up with each month's PT journal on the go. I'd love to see more PT oriented content as there is plenty of current as well as future PTs who could benefit from it!
Love this podcast
I really enjoy this podcast. Intelligent, interesting discussions that bring PT research to life! They are short enough to keep me interested and long enough to get to the heart of important issues in physical therapy.
EBP
Podcasts featured on PTJ include some of the greatest minds in our field discussing applications of the current literature as well as landmark studies to the Practice of Physical Therapy. Excellent!
