improving function and increasing return to work<br />

Is one off management versus a course of<br />
treatment more effective in terms of reducing pain<br />
and function for patients over 50 years old with<br />
osteoarthritis of the knee joint<br />
Examine the effectiveness of rehabilitation<br />
programmes in primary flexor tendon repairs<br />
following surgical reconstruction at 12 weeks and<br />
12 months in terms of pain, disability, function,<br />
return to work<br />
In adult humans with peripheral musculoskeletal<br />
injury (who have not had previous repair) is the<br />
length of time of sustained active or passive<br />
stretching more effective than other aspects of<br />
stretching for increasing return to work function and<br />
activity.<br />
Does appointment duration for musculoskeletal<br />
outpatient physiotherapy or occupational therapy in<br />
primary or secondary care settings, have an effect<br />
on managerial, clinical or patient outcomes<br />
