PHYSIOTIMES - July 2014

Bu konuda

The cover feature is an interview with Dr. Krishna Sharma, a versatile physio in his early thirties, who has achieved several milestones through his exemplary work in the field as an accomplished author, researcher, academician and clinician. His success is a case in point for many young physios apprehensive about their future in the field.

In this issue we bring to you a range of topics that not only focuses on different clinical conditions or their physiotherapy management but also addresses some of the pressing issues facing physiotherapy profession in India like that of “Dr” Prefix, “Physios being different from paramedics”, “Autonomous Practice in PT”, “Evidence Based Practice” etc. We have also started an interactive column “Creative Corner” with this issue where Matthew J Taylor, the editor of the forthcoming book “Fostering Creativity in Rehabilitation” would orient you on the need for creativity in physiotherapy. Starting this issue, there would be a series of two articles on “Treatment Adherence” that remains a major bottleneck in getting desired prognosis in physiotherapy.

Another fascinating observation you might make as you read further is about the diversity of author’s who have contributed their expertise. On one hand we have Kathy Burgland, the Director of Postprofessional Degree Program, Andrews University, USA who discusses a case report on TMJ and on the other hand we have Pallavi Wakode, an MPT student, who discusses the need for CBR. We have Tanzila Potia, a Clinical & Research Physiotherapist from Sheffield Hallam University, UK talking on treatment adherence and we have Vivek Shrivastava, Gourav Banerjee and Ketan Bhatikar, the young brigade of physios expressing their views on critical issues of importance. With such multifariousness, I can humbly submit that “PHYSIOTIMES is truly becoming a platform for, of and by physiotherapists irrespective of their age, experience or the place they belong.”
