April Research Highlights – Full of Knowledge Bombs

April brought yet more high quality research from the staff at the La Trobe SEMRC. Check out out highlights infographic, hyperlinked articles below and the full list of publications (in case you need them for an essay!) at the end;

Aquatic Exercise Therapy for People With Parkinson Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Pulmonary rehabilitation referral and participation are commonly influenced by environment, knowledge, and beliefs about consequences: a systematic review using the Theoretical Domains Framework
