A Non ‐surgical Intervention for Triangular Fibrocartilage Complex Tears
DiscussionUtilizing this novel brace resulted in functional status improvement in a subject with a TFCC tear as demonstrated by significant changes in his DASH outcome measure scores. This case study demonstrates the first non‐surgical alternative treatment for a TFCC tear after conservative management has failed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Short‐term Clinical Course of Knee Pain in Children and Adolescents: A Feasibility Study Using Electronic Methods of Data Collection
ConclusionElectronic data collection alone seems insufficient to track pain recovery in young people and may need to be supplemented with more traditional data collection methods. Researchers should consider further measures to address slow recruitment rates and high attrition when designing large prospective studies of children and adolescents in the future.

What are the Main Physical Functioning Factors Associated With Falls Among Older People With Different Perceived Fall Risk?
This study aimed to identify the prevalence of falls and physical functioning factors associated with falling among community‐dwelling older adults with low and high perceived fall risk. MethodsWe conducted a cross‐sectional population based study with 773 community‐dwelling elders. Perceived fall risk was investigated using Falls Efficacy Scale International. We considered fallers those who reported at least one fall in the previous 12 months. Physical functioning measures used were grip strength, usual gait speed, sit‐to‐stand test, five step test, timed up and go test, one‐legged stance test, anterior and ...

The Pain Attitudes and Beliefs Scale for Physiotherapists: Dimensionality and Internal Consistency of the Norwegian Version
ConclusionThe Norwegian version of the PABS‐PT appears to be equivalent to the original Dutch version, showing a similar structure and internal consistency. The two factors accounted for low explained variance, which may be indicative for problematic construct validity. Psychometric properties and usefulness will be further examined.

Greek Physiotherapists' Perspectives on Rehabilitation Following Total Knee Replacement: a Descriptive Survey
ConclusionsNo significant variations in practice were found during inpatient rehabilitation, whilst there seemed to be diversity across outpatient physiotherapy programs. The current survey suggests that patient's general health and psychological and behavioural issues are the criteria by which physiotherapists select the volume of implemented exercise and progression. However, no specific guidelines were followed. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. (Source: Physiotherapy Research International)

Evidence ‐based Practice Intentions and Long‐term Behaviours of Physiotherapy Graduates Following an Intensive Education Programme
ConclusionGraduates of an intensive EBP training programme embedded within an existing post‐graduate physiotherapy programme regularly implemented EBP in clinical practice. Barriers to evidence implementation were time, access to research and perceived lack of generalizability of research findings. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
