Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

231
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Physical Therapy
  • Sports Medicine
  • Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Instrument-assisted soft-tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a widely used myofascial treatment technique.
  • Healthcare professionals must identify appropriate precautions and contraindications before applying IASTM.
  • A prior Delphi study established 39 expert-recommended conditions for IASTM precautions and contraindications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the clinical relevance of expert-recommended IASTM precautions and contraindications.
  • To explore healthcare professionals' agreement with the Delphi study's findings.
  • To understand current clinical practice regarding IASTM safety.

Main Methods:

  • An electronic survey was distributed to physical therapists and athletic trainers.
  • Participants had clinical experience using IASTM.
  • A strength of agreement scale measured professional consensus on expert recommendations.

Main Results:

  • 445 healthcare professionals completed the survey.
  • A mean of 62% agreed with 12 out of 39 recommended conditions.
  • Respondents identified 32 additional relevant conditions not included in the original list.

Conclusions:

  • Significant diversity exists in healthcare professionals' agreement with IASTM expert recommendations.
  • Discrepancies may stem from varied clinical practices and research gaps.
  • The Delphi study provides valuable guidance, but clinical relevance requires ongoing assessment and may vary by patient.
