Can anybody help me?

I am a final year Physiotherapy Student and have two assignments and a dissertation that are currently underway and I could do with a little help. I’m not expecting any of you out there to do them for me, I would just like a little extra input that may make the end products stick out a little bit.

I know that [log in to unmask] is not a forum for students to get the answers without doing a thing, and I have done extensive searches (especially for my dissertation).

Without any further delay I will list a few things that I would like to know (if available):-

  1. Concerning CVR Physiotherapy. Is there any evidence out there or does anybody have any strong opinions that disputes or favours the fact that Physiotherapy has traditionally been considered an essential component of the pre and post-operative management of the patient undergoing thoracic surgery, and can be therefore be justified as a continuing contribution in the care of such patients.
  2. Concerning Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy. Is there any evidence out there or does anybody have any strong opinions that disputes or favours the argument that Yellow Flags (Psychosocial Measures) are of limited importance when conducting Physiotherapeutic Assessment of musculoskeletal patients.
  3. I would like to know where I could obtain a list of statistics concerning physiotherapy intervention on the treatment of ACL injuries in the UK. My main interest is of injuries on female athletes in non-contact situations.

If anybody out there can help me I would be very grateful and I hope that one day I could be providing input on some matters of debate. Also, if anybody wants a copy of my list of references I would be happy to send them to you.

I look forward to hearing from (any) of you.
