SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTER
JBI has developed a collection of world-class resources driven by the needs of health professionals and consumers worldwide.
Registration of Systematic Review Titles
Please note: this register is for the use of JBI affiliated entities ONLY. Registration of a systematic review title on the JBI website is to promote collaboration between affiliated entities via highlighting current work to other JBI review authors and to recognise that the registered topic is currently in development to avoid any unintended and/or unnecessary duplication of research effort.
Registered systematic reviews that are currently underway are listed below. Protocols for these reviews may already be published or in preparation for publication within six months of initial registration. To avoid duplication, titles in this list should not be replicated by other review authors. Please contact the listed Primary Reviewer or the JBI Synthesis Science Unit if you would like further information about any of these registered reviews.
Registration of titles on this web page does not in any way constitute acceptance of the topic by JBI Evidence Synthesis.

Self-management of chronic disease in children and adolescents: a scoping review protocol | Marta Sofia Inácio Catarino | Portugal Centre for Evidence Based Practice: A JBI Centre of Excellence | 2021-06-23 | Portugal Centre for Evidence Based Practice: A JBI Centre of Excellence

The review will include studies whose population are children and adolescents. The research will be specifically limited to the primary school age, second and third cycle, which allows for the coverage of the ages described above. No restrictions will apply to studies focusing on specific demographic factors (e.g. gender, ethnicity). The concept of self-management, a key element of the study. We intend to map the scientific evidence published on this concept and identify the health interventions promoting self-management, as well as how they have been addressed by the scientific community over time. In this study, self-management promotion was considered as a multidisciplinary health intervention. |

Studies will be included whereby participants are survivors of stroke who are 18+ years of age and have undertaken or are considering undertaking a TR intervention. All populations of stroke survivors 18+ years of age will be eligible for inclusion, including but not limited to all stages of chronicity of stroke, ages of participants (18+ years old), genders, ethnicities, levels of disability and perceived technological literacies. Studies will be included whereby data has been gathered from caregivers (formal or informal, of familial or non-familial relation) who have provided care to stroke survivors 18+ years of age. Studies will also be included whereby data has been gathered from TR providers [any professional qualified to deliver rehabilitative therapies to stroke survivors, including but not limited to: physiotherapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), speech and language therapists (SLTs), psychologists)] who have provided or are considering providing a TR intervention to a stroke survivor 18+ years of age. Phenomena of Interest - Stroke survivors' experiences and/or perceptions of barriers and facilitators to their uptake and utilisation of TR Included: |
Biomechancial and arthrokinematic factors contributing to the development of shoulder dysfunction: a protocol for a systematic review of association | Sonia Briel | The Wits-JBI Centre for Evidenced-Based Practice: A JBI Affiliated Group | 2021-06-16 | The Wits-JBI Centre for Evidenced-Based Practice: A JBI Affiliated Group

Studies on females and males with shoulder pain, discomfort, stiffness or loss of shoulder movement(s), aged between 18 and 65 years will be included in this review. The study will include athletes and participants from the general public. No studies on participants with post-operative shoulder dysfunction will be considered. A systematic review combining all the identified key soft tissue changes (shortening of latissimus dorsi, pectoralis minor, subscapularis and the posterior capsule as well as the ideal ratio of the internal and external rotators), (as emphasized in the introduction section of the proposal) and proposing a novel comprehensive biomechanical assessment model predictive for developing shoulder pain is yet to be compiled and published. The identified structures can then all be incorporated into a scientifically developed comprehensive biomechanical assessment protocol of the glenohumeral joint. Utilisation of this comprehensive biomechanical assessment tool can therefore lead to the early identification of modifiable risk factors for developing shoulder pain. Baseline values can be collected at the inception of treatment and progress can be monitored by regular monitoring of the modifiable risk factors proposed in the comprehensive biomechanical assessment model. Clinically a more informed rehabilitation program can be developed, leading to a potentially shorter and more effective rehabilitation process. It is therefore the aim of the proposed systematic review to explore the association of the above-mentioned soft tissue structures, and to identify any additional soft tissue changes associated with the development of shoulder pain, for inclusion into a comprehensive biomechanical assessment shoulder evaluation model. |
