Julia Hussien; Diane Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
The focus of attention literature has shown robust findings for the benefits of providing statements that focus on the movement effect or outcome (external focus of attention [EFOA]) as opposed to focusing on the movement kinematics (internal focus of attention). Observational studies, however, have revealed that physiotherapists use fewer EFOA…

Julia Hussien; Lauren Gignac; Lauren Shearer; Diane M. Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Although researchers have consistently demonstrated the potential benefit of an external focus of attention for rehabilitation, research has shown that this finding has yet to be translated into Canadian physiotherapy. Further, specific barriers to external focus use have been reported by Canadian physiotherapists, and as a solution toward…

Julia Hussien; Lauren Gignac; Lauren Shearer; Diane M. Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
Although researchers have highlighted the benefits of adopting an external focus of attention for rehabilitation, studies have consistently revealed low external focus use by physiotherapists. Consequently, the purpose of this research was to explore factors influencing physiotherapists' focus of attention use and to gain insight into the…

Julia Hussien; Liza Khodko; Cooper Macdonald; Diane Ste-Marie – Journal of Motor Learning and Development, 2023
In previous research, Canadian physiotherapists identified barriers to effective external focus promotion and recommended the delivery of a focus of attention workshop as a solution. Accordingly, the current research entailed the virtual delivery of such a workshop, consisting of asynchronous Website modules followed by a synchronous group…
