ALEXANDRA KASAPI is an academic who published a paper in 2023 entitled Exploration of a co-created exposure-based cognitive behavioural physiotherapy approach to the rehab. ALEXANDRA KASAPI published this work as part of a team: Kasapi, Alexandra. Here is a description of this work: Purpose: To co-create an exposure-based approach to post-stroke rehabilitation with treating physiotherapists. Additionally, we aimed to explore patient perspectives surrounding the implementation of the novel approach. Methods: Four physiotherapists (PTs) (practicing clinicians) working with stroke patients in a rehabilitation setting (two PTs working in in-patient units, one physiotherapist working in the intensive day rehabilitation program, and one PT working in the out-patient program), alongside clinical researchers in physiotherapy and psychology, were members of the co-creation team. All physiotherapists completed exposure-based cognitive behavioural techniques (EB-CBT) training and provided feedback regarding training components and implementation of the new approach through a series of co-creator meetings, as well.
