Physiotherapists' knowledge, attitude and practice of motor learning in stroke rehabilitation.
Article in The South African journal of physiotherapy, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: To improve motor impairment in stroke survivors, physiotherapists are encouraged to structure exercise sessions in such a way that motor learning is optimised in stroke survivors. No studies have described the knowledge, attitudes or practices of South African physiotherapists regarding motor learning in stroke rehabilitation. Objectives: To describe the knowledge, attitudes and practices of South African physiotherapists regarding motor learning in stroke rehabilitation. Method: Convenient and snowball sampling techniques were used. Self-compiled questionnaires were sent to members of the South African Society of Physiotherapy (SASP) via an electronic survey platform. Results: Forty physiotherapists completed the survey. Respondents' main area of interest was spread widely: the most indicated area was neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy ( Conclusion: The study revealed knowledge and practice gaps in several motor learning areas and inconsistent application of motor learning recommendations from the literature into stroke rehabilitation. Clinical implications: Findings highlight the need for further post-graduate training to allow physiotherapists to confidently apply motor learning principles in stroke rehabilitation.
