Thesis
FARRELL, C.J. 2024. An exploration on the use of lung ultrasound by physiotherapists within the cardiac surgery population. Robert Gordon University, DPT thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2565254

Cardiac surgery places patients at a high risk of developing postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs), some of which can have fatal consequences if not detected and treated in adequate time. Physiotherapists are an essential part of the postopera... Read More about An exploration on the use of lung ultrasound by physiotherapists within the cardiac surgery population..

An exploration of movement and handling by physiotherapists in a rehabilitation setting: a motion analysis study. (2023)
Thesis
JOHNSON, K.S. 2023. An exploration of movement and handling by physiotherapists in a rehabilitation setting: a motion analysis study. Robert Gordon University, DPT thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2071667

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSD) affect between 56-80% of physiotherapists, with patient handling often reported as a risk factor. Physiotherapists use therapeutic handling to aid patient rehabilitation. Therapeutic handling involves th...
