Introduction
Ebuka M. Anieto is a physiotherapist and researcher. Ebuka’s research interest is broad and cuts across various disciplines. However, he is primarily keen on synthesizing evidence on the management of chronic conditions using complex interventions. He is also keen on using non-conventional research designs including Co-creation and other participatory health research methods to develop health interventions that are both clinically and socially effective.

Background:
The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypermobility in randomly selected healthy children, without previous trauma or disease process affecting the joints and whether other demographic variables (age, sex, BMI) had an impact on Beighton scores and range of motion (RoM) in children between 6 and 10 years of age....
Background: The quality assessment provides information on the overall strength of evidence and methodological quality of a research design, highlighting the level of confidence the reader should place on the findings for decision making. This paper aimed to assess the quality (methodology and quality of reporting) of ageing studies in Sub-Saharan...
STUDY AIM: To summarize the current state and quality of qualitative research conducted by physiotherapists in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
METHODS: We systematically searched multiple databases from 2000 to December 2020 and included peer-reviewed qualitative studies conducted by physiotherapists in SSA countries. Two reviewers independently screene...
Abstract
Background: In 2040, the older population's growth rate in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will be faster than those experienced by developed nations since 1950. In preparation for this growth, the National Institute on Aging commissioned the National Academies' Committee on Population to organize a workshop on advancing aging research in Africa....

Background:
Older individuals (over 60 years) with hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are at the highest risk of contracting and dying from Coronavirus (COVID-19). Compromised immunity (both innate and adaptive) and increased inflammatory response (cytokine-storm syndrome) are predictors for hig...
Introduction
Functional deficits such as gait speed, muscle strength or reduced activities in daily living after discharge are predictors for hospital readmission for older adults with hip fractures. However, physiotherapists (PTs) who are inherently mobility experts, do not actively participate during the hospital-to-home transition of older adult...
Background:
Elevation of inflammatory biomarkers markers among persons living with HIV (PLWH) is a serious side effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in people living with HIV (PLWH), which has consequences in their overall health outcomes. Also, while HAART favours decreases in mortality and morbidity in PLWH, chronic HIV illness...
Background HIV infection and chronic use of highly active antiretroviral therapy have been associated with increased expression of pro-inflammatory biomarkers (e.g. high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) and major affective disorders (e.g. depression). There is a growing research interest in aerobic exercise as an adjunct therapy on inflammatory outc...

Background: HIV infection and the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy are associated with increased expression of pro-inflammatory biomarkers and major affective disorder. There is a growing research interest in aerobic exercise as an adjunct therapy on inflammatory outcomes and depression in people living with HIV (PLHIV) who are undergoin...
Background:
The delivery of effective interprofessional co-operation in health practice is essential for successful treatment outcomes. Interprofessional education has been seen to be a major means of improving the knowledge of students about other health disciplines and encouraging future co-operations in health practice. The study therefore aims...
Abstract Background Pro-inflammatory cytokines expressed in human immune deficiency virus (HIV) infection, may induce oxidative stress likely to compromise the patency of the airways or damage the lung tissues/cardiac function. However, physical (aerobic and/or resistance) exercise-induced release of heat shock protein, immune function alteration o...
Patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection who are treated with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) often ex- perience metabolic changes that have an adverse effect on their over- all health status. This review will assess the effect of aerobic exercises on the lipid profile of individuals with HIV infection undergoi...
