Additional structured physical activity does not improve walking in older people (> 60 years) undergoing inpatient rehabilitation: a randomised trial
ConclusionWhile substantial gains in mobility were achieved by older people receiving inpatient rehabilitation, additional physical activity sessions did not lead to better walking outcomes at discharge or 6 months.Trial registrationACTRN12613000884707.

Multimodality respiratory physiotherapy reduces mortality but may not prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia or reduce length of stay in the intensive care unit: a systematic review
ConclusionMultimodality respiratory physiotherapy appeared to reduce mortality in ICU patients. It was unclear whether this occurred via a reduction in the incidence of VAP and/or length of stay because the available data provided very imprecise estimates of the effect of multimodality respiratory physiotherapy on these outcomes. These very imprecise estimates include the possibility of very worthwhile effects on VAP incidence and length of ICU stay; therefore, these outcomes should be the focus of further investigation in rigorous trials.RegistrationPROSPERO CRD42018094202.

Staff and patients have mostly positive perceptions of physiotherapists working in emergency departments: a systematic review
ConclusionsED physiotherapists were mostly well accepted by patients and ED staff, and their work was perceived to improve the ED. Concerns included restricted availability, lack of awareness of the role undertaken by physiotherapists in the ED, and increased treatment time in some settings.

Motivational interviewing added to oncology rehabilitation did not improve moderate-intensity physical activity in cancer survivors: a randomised trial
ConclusionAdding motivational interviewing to oncology rehabilitation did not increase moderate-intensity physical activity. Favourable trends on measures of lower-intensity physical activity suggest that motivational interviewing should be further investigated for its effects on reducing sedentary time and improving light-intensity physical activity for cancer survivors participating in rehabilitation.Trial registrationANZCTR 12616001079437.
