Global Rehabilitation Alliance launched
The Global Rehabilitation Alliance (GRA) was launched in Geneva last week with WCPT President Emma Stokes elected as Vice President of the Alliance’s inaugural board.
 
Emma said "Today, we commit to global collaboration to ensure the peoples of the world will receive timely, quality and person-centred rehabilitation without financial hardship."
 
The GRA is an outcome from the World Health Organization’s stakeholder meeting, Rehabilitation 2030: A Call for Action, held in February 2017. Since that time WCPT has been working with colleagues from other stakeholder organisations to develop an international body to further the development of rehabilitation around the world.

Congresso Mundial de Fisioterapia de 2021 acontecerá em Dubai



A Confederação Mundial de Fisioterapia WCPT anunciou na semana passada que o  Congresso Bienal da Confederação será realizado em 2021 em Dubai. 
Falando na Conferência de Fisioterapia da Emirates, a presidente da WCPT, Emma Stokes, confirmou Dubai como o local do Congresso, que será organizado pela Emirates Physiotherapy Society.   “A Emirates Physiotherapy Society tem uma localização única, e Dubai oferece a chance de que a comunidade global de Fisioterapia possa reunir-se  em um destino que liga a Europa, Ásia e África”, disse Emma.  

“Mais uma vez, como na Cidade do Cabo, estamos convidando a comunidade global a se juntar a nós em uma parte do mundo que não visitamos antes para relizar um Congresso. Trata-se m dos primeiros países do golfo, parabenizamos a Emirates Physiotherapy Society por sua proposta bem-sucedida e esperamos aprender e compartilhar tudo o que pudermos. ”  

 “A Emirates Physiotherapy Society está satisfeita e orgulhosa por ter sido escolhida para sediar o Congresso da WCPT de 2021”, disse a presidente do EPS, Amal Alshamlan.   “Tem sido uma meta estratégica para a sociedade, alinhada com a estratégia do governo, trazer um evento tão prestigioso para Dubai. O Congresso trará um valor incrível para a Fisioterapia nos Emirados Árabes Unidos e para a região. A emoção já começou a construir". 

Após um processo competitivo de escolha e visitas ao local, a Diretoria da Confederação concordou que a Emirates Physiotherapy Society, que é membro da WCPT desde 2007, oferece um local para o Congresso, interessante e distinto.
   
O Congresso da WCPT  terá a partir de agora sua realização a cada dois anos. Após um dos congressos de maior sucesso  realizado na Cidade do Cabo, em 2017, o de 2019 será realizado em Genebra, de 10 a 13 de maio.   Em 2016, o Congresso WCPT 2015 foi reconhecido pela excelência, ganhando o prêmio de Melhor Conferência, conforme o Singapore Tourism Awards.  Foi novamente reconhecido em 2017 pelo  Congresso realizado na Cidade do Cabo, ganhando o prêmio 'Incredible Impacts' por sua gama de atividades e pelo legado que beneficiaram a África e a comunidade em geral.

Notas Avulsas - 9


 - Homenageando Lynda Woodruff


 Conheci Lynda Woodruff  (1947 - 2018)  quando da sua estada em Recife pelo intercâmbio do Comitê Pernambuco/Georgia com Partners of Americas. Ela veio da Georgia State University ministrar cursos para os Fisioterapeutas pernambucanos em 1980 e causou  impacto amplo e profundo na profissão









- Dia Mundial da Fisioterapia 2018

A Confederação Mundial de Fisioterapia WCPT iniciou os trabalhos coletando materiais para o Dia Mundial da Fisioterapia deste ano. A mensagem será focada no papel da Fisioterapia na saúde mental.

A WCPT mantém  estreita colaboração com o subgrupo da entidade, a Organização Internacional de Fisioterapeutas em Saúde Mental (IOPTMH), para produzir os materiais.

O kit de ferramentas deste ano estará disponível para download no site da Confederação em junho.

- Projeto SUDA

 A WCPT comemora o sucesso do projeto SUDA após reunião no Capitólio em Washington (USA).
 
A Presidente Emma Stokes e o CEO Jonathon Kruger, juntamente com os líderes da Associação Americana de Fisioterapia (APTA), reuniram-se na semana passada com representantes do Leahy War Victims Fund. O programa especial da USAID, financiou o projeto SUDA permitindo à WCPT fortalecer a profissão de Fisioterapeuta na África Ocidental. O projeto reforçou as Associações de Fisioterapia no Mali, Níger e Senegal  melhorando a qualidade e os padrões dos programas de educação do Fisioterapeuta, estabelecendo um modelo de capacitação que pode ser transferido para outros países com poucos recursos.


 Ocorrendo no Capitol Hill, Washington, a reunião deu a WCPT a oportunidade de agradecer in loco  pelo subsídio de US $ 1,2 milhão, além de propor ideias para expandir ou replicar o projeto em outros países.

- Dor Lombar 

Em abril deste ano, a WCPT publicou um artigo mostrando como os Fisioterapeutas estão  atendendo ao chamado para desenvolver mais tratamentos baseados em evidências sobre dor lombar, afirmando que os pacientes obtêm melhores resultados quando são orientados por conselhos que possibilitam estilos de vida ativos, em vez de tratamentos ineficazes de alto custo e muitas vezes prejudiciais ao paciente. A Fisioterapia como abordagem de primeira linha conservadora baseada em exercícios e conselhos sobre a postura corporal mais adequada ao paciente, bem como a prescrição moderada de analgésicos não opióides apresentam-se como a melhor opção de tratamento.


Um estudo importante sobre lombalgia resultou em pedidos para impedir práticas de tratamento prejudiciais e um reconhecimento mundial da deficiência decorrente da condição. A série de artigos, publicada na revista The Lancet, pede que a profissão médica pare com tratamentos ineficazes e potencialmente prejudiciais, como a prescrição de drogas fortes e opiáceos, injeções e cirurgias desnecessárias.

It contains a list of international volunteers who are willing to develop the profession by supporting WCPT member organisations and their collaborators.

The DOVES database offers the chance to search for professional expertise and connect with practitioners who have world-class insights on global health. More than 300 physical therapists have already registered, creating a major resource offering advice on practice, education, research and policy.

Low back pain
Earlier this month WCPT published an article showing how physical therapists are joining the call to further develop evidence-based low back pain treatments, asserting that patients are better-served by advice that enables active lifestyles rather than high-cost ineffective treatments.
 

A major study on low back pain has resulted in calls to stop harmful treatment practices, and a worldwide recognition of disability arising from the condition. The series of papers, published in The Lancet, asks the medical profession to stop ineffective and potentially damaging treatments such as the prescription of strong drugs and opioids, injections, and unnecessary surgery.

WCPT celebrates success of SUDA project in Capitol Hill meeting
WCPT President Emma Stokes and CEO Jonathon Kruger, along with leaders of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), met last week with representatives from the Leahy War Victims Fund. The grant, a special USAID programme, funded the SUDA project that has enabled WCPT to strengthen the physical therapy profession in West Africa. The project has bolstered the physical therapy associations in Mali, Niger and Senegal to improve the quality and standards of physical therapist education programs, and establish a model for capacity-building that can be transferred to other low-resource countries.
 
Taking place in Capitol Hill, Washington, the meeting gave WCPT the opportunity to thank the representatives for the $1.2 million grant, as well as outline ideas for expanding or replicating the project in other countries.
