Participants: Lucie Brosseau, PhD, and Angela Busch, PhD. Moderator: Maura Iversen, PT, DPT, ScD, MPH, PTJ Editorial Board Member. Brosseau and Busch discuss the findings reported in "Ottawa Panel Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Aerobic Fitness Exercises in the Management of Fibromyalgia: Part 1" and "Ottawa Panel Evidence-Based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Strengthening Exercises in the Management of Fibromyalgia: Part 2" (2008;88:857-871 and 2008;88:873-886).

Participants: Inge van den Akker-Scheek, PhD, and Deborah M Kennedy, BScPT, MSc. Moderator: Daniel Riddle, PT, PhD, FAPTA. Riddle sums up the focus of this podcast: "Clinicians have an extensive number of outcomes measures available to them--and they face extreme difficulty in deciding what to use and when to use it." Akker-Scheek is a human movement scientist and epidemiologist and is the lead author of "Physical Functioning Before and After Total Hip Arthroplasty: Perception and Performance" (June 2008). She chats with Riddle and Kennedy, a physical therapist at Holland Orthopaedic and Arthritic Centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and the lead author of "Assessing Recovery and Establishing Prognosis Following Total Knee Arthroplasty" (January 2008).

Participants: Andrea L Behrman, PT, PhD, V Reggie Edgerton, PhD, and Irene R McEwen, PT, PhD, FAPTA. Moderator: Rebecca Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA. Behrman, Edgerton, and McEwen discuss the case of a nonambulatory 4½-year-old boy with a chronic, severe, incomplete cervical spinal cord injury who was deemed permanently wheelchair-dependent. After an intensive, 16-week locomotor training program, the boy was able to ambulate independently using a walker. They discuss the implications of the case for clinical practice in the future.

Participants: Susan W Muir, BSc, BScPT, and Leland E Dibble, PT, PhD, ATC. Moderator: Rebecca L Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA. In this podcast, Muir and Dibble discuss the approaches they took to predict future falls with the goal of providing intervention and reducing the number of fall-related injuries.

Participants: Kathleen Kline Mangione, PT, PhD, GCS, and David R Sinacore, PT, PhD, FAPTA. Moderator: Daniel L Riddle, PT, PhD, FAPTA. As noted by Moderator Daniel Riddle, it's been estimated that 350,000 people per year in the United States sustain a hip fracture. The health care costs are enormous. In this podcast, Mangione and Sinacore talk frankly about how rehabilitation services need to change.

PTJ Editor in Chief Rebecca Craik, PT, PhD, FAPTA, interviews Katherine J Sullivan, PT, PhD, lead author of "Effects of Task-Specific Locomotor and Strength Training in Adults Who Were Ambulatory After Stroke: Results of the STEPS Randomized Clinical Trial." Find out what surprised Sullivan most about the results of this trial and what she and her colleagues plan to do next.

Debators: Timothy W Flynn, PT, PhD, OCS, FAAOMPT, and Christopher Maher, PT, PhD; Moderator: Daniel L Riddle, PT, PhD, FAPTA. Christopher Maher and Timothy W Flynn have both published studies to assess the effectiveness of manipulation, but they used different strategies. Find out why they chose the strategies they chose, and hear them debate the differences in their results and the implications for practice.

Debators: John Childs, PT, PhD, and Stuart Warden, PT, PhD, FACSM; Moderator: Joshua Cleland, PT, DPT, OCS. Noting Sackett's report that physician treatment selection is often based on the year of graduation from medical school, Moderator Joshua Cleland asks the debaters to comment on Wong et al's finding (Phys Ther. August 2007;87:986-994) of no direct correlation between physical therapist use of ultrasound and year of graduation. ALSO: How much emphasis should be placed on the application of ultrasound—and other physical modalities—in professional physical therapist education programs? And what are future directions for ultrasound and modality use in physical therapist practice?
