“…There are even fewer reports on experience differences for physical therapists; Slade et al [5] reported that the main characteristics of proficient physical therapists are high levels of skill, training, and experience and a broad scope of practice. A study examining differences in joint range of motion measurement results due to differences in examiner's experience and knowledge and differences in measuring instruments reported statistically significant differences in accuracy but not clinically meaningful differences [6].…”

Background:To establish an objective evaluation of basic physiotherapy technique, we recorded a mechanical aspect during a lateral weight-shifting (WS) using gravicorder. Methods: Subjects were 18 physiotherapists divided into three groups based on experience year. Our originally developed software converted center of gravity data during WS to 3-dimensional mechanical value. Results: All direction data showed significantly lower in the long experience year group (p<0.05). The coefficient of variation was high vertical for all three groups. Conclusion:In the group with more years of experience, it was confirmed that it was compactly implemented. In the vertical direction, it is thought to be implemented by empirical rules because there is no constant normal pattern or common recognition among physiotherapists.

“…Regarding strategies to assist the uptake of PFME among women with SUI, clinicians’ perspectives have been studied and suggestions for effective approaches proposed [ 15 – 17 ]. However, understanding patients’ perspectives would guide appropriate behavioral change interventions to improve PFME adherence, resulting in increased treatment effectiveness and better patient quality of life.…”

“…However, understanding patients’ perspectives would guide appropriate behavioral change interventions to improve PFME adherence, resulting in increased treatment effectiveness and better patient quality of life. Previous studies investigated patients’ experiences and determinants of adherence have mainly been conducted among postnatal women as well as middle-aged and older women from Western countries [ 9 , 17 , 18 ]. There is insufficient evidence regarding those factors that have an impact on adherence to a home-based exercise program for SUI, with a culturally diverse perspective.…”

Attitudes and barriers to pelvic floor muscle exercises of women with stress urinary incontinence

Background Pelvic floor muscle exercise (PFME) is a first-line treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI), but adherence to PFME is often problematic. The aim of this study was to better understand the attitudes and barriers to practicing pelvic floor muscle exercise among women with SUI. Methods We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was used to approach eligible participants. The interview included questions focused on women’s perceptions regarding SUI and PFME, sources of information, support, and barriers and motivators of PFME. In-depth interviews were conducted until data saturation occurred. After several readings of written interview transcripts, codes were retrieved, and thematic analysis was conducted. Results Seven women participated in the study (average age 53.2 years), and most (4/7) were retired. Three salient themes emerged from the data: (1) perception of SUI, (2) barriers to PFME, and (3) motivators to exercise. Participants highlighted various barriers to PFME: (1) lack of self-discipline owing to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, (2) lack of confidence in how to perform the exercises properly, and (3) skepticism regarding the efficacy of treatment according to women’s direct and indirect experiences. Achievement of desired outcomes, symptom severity, women’s expectations, and fear of surgery were motivators to regularly perform PFME. Conclusions The main barriers to regular PFME were inadequate self-discipline, knowledge, and confidence in performing the exercises, and a poor perception about the effectiveness of PFME.
