“…Related to the present study findings, physiotherapists in clinical practice need to develop their ability to handle challenging situations, uncertainty, and unforeseen problems (Shaw and DeForge, 2012). This is in line with distributed leadership theory where it is proposed that all professionals working in health care should assume leadership in their specific role and context (McDonald, 2014).…”

Objectives: Health care is undergoing changes and this requires the participation and leadership of all health-care professions. While numerous studies have explored leadership competence among physicians and nurses, the physiotherapy profession has received but limited attention. The aim of this study was to explore how leadership manifests in the patient-therapist interaction among physiotherapists in primary health care and how the physiotherapists themselves relate their perception of leadership to their clinical practice. Methods: A qualitative study with semistructured interviews was conducted with a purposive sample of 10 physiotherapists working in primary health care. The interviews were analyzed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Results: Five themes were identified related to how leadership manifests in the patient-therapist interaction: (1) establishing resonant relationships; (2) engaging patients to build ownership; (3) drawing on authority; (4) building on professionalism; and (5) relating physiotherapists clinical practice to leadership. Conclusion: This study describes how leadership manifests in the patientphysiotherapist interaction. The findings can be used to empower physiotherapists in their clinical leadership and to give them confidence in taking on formal leadership roles, thus becoming active participants in improving health care. Future studies are needed to explore other aspects of leadership used in physiotherapy clinical practice. ARTICLE HISTORY

Connectivity centres around a radical alternative to the traditional medical and social models of health.…”

“…Practice epistemology has been described as the approach that physiotherapists take towards knowledge that frames their approach to decision-making and care [21]. Therefore, discussion of the theoretical framework of a particular rehabilitation approach is an essential component not only of clinical practice but also of clinical research.…”

The intervention studies, primarily RCT designs, have serious methodological concerns particularly related to study/treatment fidelity and measurement resulting in no clear clinical direction. Aspects such as theoretical framework, therapist skill, quality of movement measurement and individualized interventions require careful consideration in the design of Bobath studies. Implications for Rehabilitation Future intervention studies should be based on the current Bobath theoretical framework and key aspects of clinical practice. Study and treatment fidelity issues need to be carefully considered when interpreting the results of existing RCT's evaluating the Bobath concept. N-of-1 randomized, observational, factorial and mixed method study designs should be considered as alternative study options.
