    (2021) Yu, Tak Wing; Achmat, Ghaleelullah; Kock, Luzaan; Smithdorf, Gareth
    Biokineticist and physiotherapy professional scopes of practice are explicit that they are both exercise therapists, meaning that they use exercise as a treatment modality. Despite these well-defined scopes of the profession by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), there are examples of infringements where one profession is accused of conducting work supposedly the sole domain of the other.1 This tension related to overlapping professional is present globally

    Exercise therapy education enriched through interprofessional teaching

    Biokineticist and physiotherapy professional scopes of practice are explicit that they are both exercise therapists, meaning that they use exercise as a treatment modality. Despite these well-defined scopes of the profession by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), there are examples of infringements where one profession is accused of conducting work supposedly the sole domain of the other.1 This tension related to overlapping professional is present globally.1 Role clarification is one of the interprofessional education (IPE) core competencies that define the responsibilities and appropriate role applications and optimises the scope of practice to effectively deliver patient care.

    Participation restrictions and vocational rehabilitation needs experienced by persons with a unilateral lower limb amputation in the Western Cape, South Africa
    (AOSIS, 2019) Yu, Tak Wing; Ennion, Liezel
    Vocational rehabilitation (VR) aims to rehabilitate a person with an amputation back into actively participating in society. Even though lower limb amputation (LLA) surgery is commonly performed in South Africa (SA), little research has been published on the participation restrictions experienced by and vocational needs of persons with LLA in the Western Cape (WC). The aim of this study was to determine and explore the participation restrictions and VR needs of persons with a unilateral LLA in the WC.A mixed-methods approach and a sequential exploratory design were utilised to collect data from 50 persons with an LLA. Participants were conveniently sampled within the Cape Metropole region of the WC, SA. The World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) tool was used to collect the quantitative data, and telephonic interviews were conducted for qualitative data collection.
