ICU Mobilisation: Evidence, Safety Screening and Progression Criteria
Learn ICU mobilisation using Hodgson red-yellow-green safety criteria, ABCDEF bundle context, progression from passive ROM to ambulation, and ICU-acquired weakness prevention.
Gluteal Tendinopathy (GTPS): Assessment and Progressive Loading
Although the condition was long labelled trochanteric bursitis, the dominant pathology is a tendinopathy of the gluteus medius and minimus rather than a primary bursitis.
Non-Invasive Ventilation and Physiotherapy: Indications, Settings and Weaning
Exam-prep guide to NIV for physiotherapy students, covering CPAP vs BiPAP, AECOPD indications, common settings, post-extubation NIV, mobilisation, secretion clearance and weaning.
Cervicogenic Headache: Differential Diagnosis and Treatment
Cervicogenic headache is a secondary headache in which pain perceived in the head is in fact referred from a disorder of the cervical spine, most often the upper cervical segments.
Off-Pump vs On-Pump CABG: What Changes for the Physiotherapist?
Understand off-pump versus on-pump CABG, including surgical differences, pulmonary complications, mobilisation timing and key implications for physiotherapy.
Cervical Radiculopathy: Assessment And The Wainner Test Cluster
Since no single clinical test reliably confirms the diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy in isolation, contemporary practice relies on a validated cluster of tests to raise or lower the probability of nerve root involvement.
AECOPD in Hospital: The Physiotherapy Protocol from Admission to Discharge
Learn a step-by-step in-hospital physiotherapy protocol for AECOPD, including assessment, NIV, positioning, airway clearance, mobilisation safety and discharge criteria.
Neck Pain: A Clinical Reasoning and Classification Framework
A structured classification framework allows the clinician to reason from a broad presenting complaint toward a defensible working category, and to match the intervention to that category rather than applying a uniform protocol to every patient.
Inspiratory Muscle Training: Does It Really Work?
Learn how inspiratory muscle training works, how to prescribe 30–50% MIP, which devices are used and what evidence supports IMT in COPD, CABG and ICU patients.
Bronchiectasis Airway Clearance: Postural Drainage, Modified Positions and Hypertonic Saline
A guide to bronchiectasis physiotherapy covering lobe-specific postural drainage, modified positions for elderly and cardiac patients, the move away from prolonged head-down tilt, and how nebulised hypertonic saline fits into modern airway clearance.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programmes: Structure, Evidence and Outcomes
Learn the components, duration, outcome measures and evidence for pulmonary rehabilitation in COPD, ILD and other chronic lung diseases.
Chronic Bronchitis Airway Clearance: Which Technique Should You Choose?
Compare ACBT, autogenic drainage, PEP and oscillatory PEP for chronic bronchitis, with teaching steps, evidence and a practical decision tree.
