Focused symposia are core sessions where cutting edge relevant topics will be explored from an international and diverse perspective. Presenters will create insightful and engaging learning experiences that ultimately inform, inspire, involve and empower participants. Read the press release with details of the newly announced symposia and the presenters. Jackie Whittaker, chair of World Physiotherapy’s congress programme committee (CPC), said: “We were incredibly pleased with the breadth and quality of the many proposals we received. The focused symposia to be presented in Dubai combine truly global perspectives with content that we believe represents professional challenges that physiotherapists around the world are facing today. The topics cover a range of timely topics, such as pain management, services for refugees and migrants, health economics, and the role of technology, and are relevant to clinicians, managers, educators and researchers.” Visit the congress website to find out more about the focused symposium sessions and presenters

The plan has been developed after a series of consultations, surveys, and focus groups with the board, member organisations, regions, subgroups, and the staff leadership group. During this process, World Physiotherapy’s purpose and vision were reviewed and revised, and several key themes emerged, which have been grouped into three strategic pillars, underpinned by four core values.  Emma Stokes, World Physiotherapy president, said: “We’re very excited to launch our new strategic plan. We have revised our vision and present our values clearly. The strategic pillars that will inform our work build on our previous strategy and set us up for a world emerging from a global pandemic and facing many challenges. “It has been collaboratively developed through consultation with our community and I believe it represents a contemporary approach that remains true to the value and ambitions of our founding member organisations."

Dia Mundial da Fisioterapia 2022

 

 Texto original em inglês

 

O foco do Dia Mundial da Fisioterapia deste ano, em 8 de setembro, é a osteoartrite e o papel dos Fisioterapeutas na sua prevenção e na gestão das pessoas afetadas pela osteoartrite. Em 2023 o foco será em outras condições reumatológicas.

 

World PT Day 2022 will focus on osteoarthritis

The focus for this year’s World PT Day on 8 September is osteoarthritis and the role of physiotherapists in its prevention and in the management of people affected by osteoarthritis. In 2023 the focus will be on other rheumatological conditions. 

Access the campaign materials 

The campaign is focused around the following key messages.

• Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint condition: 520 million people around the world have OA, and 60% of OA cases are for knee OA. 
• In a global study of 291 conditions, hip and knee OA was ranked as the 11th highest contributor to disability.
• The exact cause of OA is unclear. Risk factors that increase the risk of OA include: having overweight or obesity, having a previous joint injury or joint surgery or history of joint overuse, genetics. 
• Exercise is a first-line treatment for OA. A physiotherapist can provide advice and education about pain relief and ways to manage OA. They can teach people living with OA how to improve joint movement and strengthen muscles. 
• It is important for people living with OA to keep as active as possible. This can help improve pain, reduce other symptoms of OA, and help people stay independent. 
• Only about a third of people living with OA will get worse over time, and some see an improvement in pain and disability. A physiotherapist will be able to guide you on how to keep active.

World PT Day toolkit

The World PT Day toolkit includes a range of materials to share the campaign in your country/territory, including information sheets, posters, banners and a booklet on how to take part.

The information sheets and posters are available in English and Spanish, and will be available shortly in French. Volunteer translators are working on versions of the materials in other languages, which will be uploaded to our website as they become available.

Please note: the materials may not be amended without the permission of World Physiotherapy.

World Physiotherapy would like to express its sincere thanks to the following physiotherapists for their input and assistance in the production of the materials for World PT Day 2022: Marisa Coetzee, Rana Hinman and Jackie L. Whittaker.
