“…Table 3 summarises the characteristics of the included studies. Of the twenty included studies, 12 were randomised controlled trials (RCTs) [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56], seven were quasiexperimental studies [57][58][59][60][61][62][63], and one was a secondary analysis of trial data. All included studies were published between 2002 and 2022.…”

“…Thirty percent of the included studies were published between 2016 and 2020 [55,[57][58][59]64,65]. Studies were conducted on patients with stroke (n = 4) [53,[57][58][59], risk factors for CVD (n = 4) [47,50,54,62], coronary heart diseases (n = 3) [51,52,63], peripheral arterial diseases (n = 2) [45,56], diabetes (n = 3) [48,52,60], weight/obesity (n = 2) [49,61], and hypertension (n = 2) [46,55]. The sample size of the included studies ranged from 18 to 882 participants [45,46].…”

“…The included studies were conducted in 15 countries, with England [56,61], Australia [45,57], Spain [46,63], The Netherlands [48,49], and Norway [58,64] having two studies each and the remaining countries having one study each (Table 4). The majority of studies were from high-income countries (HICs), with 47% from Europe alone, and only two publications [54,55] from two LMICs (Brazil and China). No studies were identified from the African continent.…”

“…All studies were either solely implemented by physiotherapists (n=13) [45,46,48,50,[52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]61] or in combination with other healthcare professionals (nurses, physicians, and dieticians/nutritionists), with physiotherapists leading defined components of the intervention (n = 7) [47,49,54,60,62,63,65]. The identified interventions were heterogeneous and reported according to the TIDieR framework in Table 4.…”

“…Self-management and home programmes were also identified (n = 4) [48,52,57,62]. Individualised coaching on physical activity and exercise (n = 5) [49,58,60,62,64] and use of the health improvement card (HIC) (n = 1) [54] were also used by physiotherapists to enhance activity and reduce cardiovascular risks, with only two studies (n = 2) reporting employing behavioural change techniques [62,64]. Six studies were characterised by the provision of educational materials/resources, including brochures on healthy lifestyle practices and lifestyle behaviour change (n = 2) [45,54], written instructions and recommendations (n = 2) [47,59], workbooks (n = 1) [55], and handouts following each session (n = 1) [61].…”

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are prevalent and lead to high morbidity and mortality globally. Physiotherapists regularly interact with patients with or at risk of CVDs (pwCVDs). This study aimed to assess the nature of existing evidence, interventional approaches used, and the population groups included in physiotherapy-led health promotion (PLHP) for pwCVDs. The scoping review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. Medline, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CINAHL, and PEDro databases were searched from inception until June 2023. Two reviewers independently screened the titles, abstracts, and full text and conducted data extraction. All conflicts were resolved with a third reviewer. A total of 4992 records were identified, of which 20 full-text articles were included in the review. The studies had varied populations, including those with stroke, coronary artery diseases, peripheral artery diseases, hypertension, diabetes, and multiple CVD risk factors. The interventions ranged from exercise and physical activity programmes, dietary interventions, education, and counselling sessions with various supplementary approaches. Most interventions were short-term, with less than 12 months of follow-up. Interventions were personalised and patient-centred to promote adherence and health behaviour change. Among the included studies, 60% employed experimental designs, with the remainder using quasi-experimental designs. Although a wide range of PLHP strategies have been used for pwCVDs, exercise and physical activity were employed in 85% of the included studies. Other components of health promotion, such as sleep, smoking, and alcohol abuse, should be investigated within PLHP.
