“…This cluster focuses on improving patient care and enhancing quality of life through occupational therapy and physiotherapy interventions (Kalkdijk‐Dijkstra et al, 2020; Quehenberger et al, 2014; Yim et al, 2015). It includes research related to patient education (Galán‐Martín et al, 2019; Weber et al, 2023); exercise therapy (Sadural et al, 2022; Subramanian, 2017); treatment outcomes; and clinical effectiveness (Gbiri & Akumabor, 2023; Lo et al, 2017; Naylor et al, 2018; Van Criekinge et al, 2017). Topics such as psychological well‐being; chronic disease management (De Maeseneer et al, 2022; Harrison et al, 2015; Houchen et al, 2009); physical activity (Johnson et al, 2022; Krops et al, 2018; Paim et al, 2022); and behaviour change (Johnson et al, 2022; Shikako et al, 2023) are explored to better understand how therapeutic interventions positively impact patients' lives.…”

IntroductionOccupational therapists and physiotherapists aim to promote health, prevent various diseases and help people in their rehabilitation processes. So far, there is a paucity of understanding of the big picture of how the new paradigm of planetary health (PH) is connected to the education and practice of these professionals.MethodsThis research aimed to address this gap by investigating and deploying a bibliometric analysis to elucidate the pivotal role of occupational therapists and physiotherapists in addressing PH challenges. The ultimate goal is to construct a comprehensive framework crosschecking the bibliometric analysis and the collection of 10 case studies selected by experts to outline how best practices in occupational therapy and physiotherapy, related to the three pillars of sustainability and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), can contribute to increasing PH.ResultsThe bibliometric analysis revealed four major research strands: 1) enhancing patient care and quality of life; 2) integrating sustainability in health care and rehabilitation; 3) professional development and clinical competence; and 4) evidence‐based practice and quality improvement. Moreover, further temporal analysis revealed how the topic evolved, from advancing evidence‐based practice and clinical effectiveness, exploring the strengthening of health care and person‐centred practices, to connecting the topic to aspects also predicted by the SDGs, such as integrating environmental and climate concerns in therapy and addressing psychological and self‐care impacts on health. The case studies confirmed this trend, and a framework of PH in occupational therapy and physiotherapy through the lens of the SDGs was developed to support future research and practitioners in advancing this research field.ConclusionsOccupational therapists and physiotherapists are essential players in public health and can integrate sustainability at every level of practice, from using resources during therapy sessions to advocating for more sustainable lifestyles.

“…The review emphasizes the need for evidence-based guidelines for clinical practice that support a PA-centered approach to improving erectile function. By understanding the complex interplay of factors influencing erectile function and overall vascular health, physiotherapists and other healthcare providers can assist patients in preventing vascular diseases and, consequently, enhance their sexual health [ 36 ]. This holistic approach offers a motivational incentive for men to make lifestyle changes, contributing to both cardiovascular health and sexual well-being [ 37 ].…”

Sexual function is a vital component of overall well-being and quality of life. Physical activity is known to have a profound influence on various aspects of health, but its impact on sexual function in the general population remains an under-explored area. This systematic review seeks to thoroughly examine existing evidence, aiming to establish the correlation between physical activity and sexual function in both male and female adults. We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases and relevant sources, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Eligible studies were those that investigated the effects of physical activity on sexual function using the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF-5) questionnaire and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Quality assessment was performed on the included studies, and the findings were synthesized through qualitative analysis. The review identified 12 randomized controlled trials, primarily focusing on males, with interventions ranging from home-based walking to structured exercise training. Only two studies were conducted among females. The most recommended exercise was aerobic exercise. Consistent aerobic exercise proves to be a hopeful and efficient non-drug intervention for enhancing erectile function in men. However, when considering the effects of physical exercise programs on sexual function and the quality of sexual life of females, the results present challenges in drawing clear conclusions. Health policymakers play an important role in providing guidelines and recommendations to healthcare professionals, encouraging them to prescribe exercise as a preferable alternative to pharmacological treatments for enhancing sexual functions in both men and women.
