Description
Etienne Ngeh and co-authors mapped in 2023 what physiotherapists actually do to promote health in people with, or at risk of, heart and vessel disease. These therapists see such patients constantly, yet their prevention work is rarely catalogued.
From nearly five thousand records, twenty studies made the cut. Patients ranged from stroke survivors to people with diabetes or high blood pressure. Programs mixed exercise, diet coaching, education, and counseling, usually tailored to the person to keep them engaged. Most ran under a year, and most used experimental designs. The reviewers find a wide, promising toolkit but call for longer follow up and shared reporting standards so clinics can copy what works.
