Knowledge translation strategies to support service provider’s implementation of the “F-words in Childhood Disability”
(2021)”Service providers were invited to participate in an interview after completing an online survey on their clinical implementation of the “F-words”. Content analysis provided insight into use of the “F-words” and perceived barriers; and to identify knowledge translation strategies to facilitate implementation”
Patient partners’ perspectives of meaningful engagement in synthesis reviews: A patient-oriented rapid review.
(2021)”Background: A growing literature describes promising practices for patient-oriented research (POR) generally; however, those for systematic reviews are largely derived through the lens of a researcher. This rapid review sought to understand meaningful engagement in synthesis reviews from the patient partner (PP) perspective.” FREE
A knowledge broker facilitated intervention to improve the use of standardized assessment tools by physical therapists: A cluster randomized trial.
(2021)”Knowledge broker support improved both groups standardized assessment use early on, but it was not sustained. The amount of support could not be isolated as factors that influenced use varied by groups.”
A Knowledge Translation Framework for Optimizing Physical Therapy in Patients With Heart Failure.
(2021) “This resource provides the physical therapist with practical guidance in the management of patients with heart failure by placing research findings in the context of other knowledge and practice norms that can be applied at the point of care and across the continuum of care. We propose a novel ABCDE (assessment, behavior modification, cardiorespiratory fitness, dosage, and education) practical framework. This clinical paradigm is grounded in ongoing physical therapist assessment throughout the episode of care, along with behavior modification, assessment of cardiorespiratory fitness, appropriate selection and dosing of interventions, and patient education. Examples highlighting the use of this model in patients with heart failure across the continuum of care are provided for application in clinical care.”
Development and Results of an Implementation Plan for High-Intensity Gait Training
(2021) “Using a multicomponent implementation plan that targeted barriers, we successfully implemented high-intensity gait training in clinical practice. Contributors to successful implementation may include the implementation methods, usual care interventions, and clinicians’ readiness for this change.”
