    Background and Purpose Assessment of physiotherapy undergraduate students in clinical placement is academically important and holds practical value. This study aimed to translate the Assessment of Physiotherapy Practice (APP) tool, which is widely used for this purpose, into Turkish and to verify the factor validity and examine the reliability of this version using a cross-sectional design on senior physiotherapy students.Methods The APP and performance indicators were translated into Turkish in accordance with the recommended protocol. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted using scale data from 100 students. For reliability analyses, 10 clinical supervisors from a Turkish university assessed 63 students using the Turkish version of the Assessment of Physiotherapy Practice (APP-TR) tool. Supervisors performed the APP-TR assessment for each student at week 3 and at the end of the 6-week clinical placement, yielding a score for analysis.Results In both assessments, the scale demonstrated high levels of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.961 for the first assessment, 0.959 for final assessment). Two factors were identified by exploratory factor analysis explaining 65.84% of the total variance and a two-factor model was confirmed to fit by confirmatory factor analysis. Test-retest reliability was assessed by ICC and was high for all subheadings and total score. For all items, the close agreement was at least 98.41% and the exact agreement was at least 88.89% in the percentile analysis between the two assessments.Discussion The results of this study suggest that the APP-TR is a reliable and valid tool for evaluating final year physiotherapy students in a clinical placement in Turkey.

    Squat task as an assessment tool for detecting injury risk: A systematic review
    (Elsevier, 2026) Avci, Ender Ersin; Kartal, Gokce; Cakir, Furkan; Polat, Mine Gulden; Demirbuken, Lksan
    Background: The squat is a fundamental movement that is frequently performed in both daily life activities and sports. The aim of this systematic review was to identify and systematize evidence from the literature that relates the isolated squat movement to musculoskeletal injury risk assessment. Method: A comprehensive literature search was conducted using Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and ScienceDirect databases and Boolean operators. The study was registered in PROSPERO. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies assessment tools. The quality of the studies was assessed in accordance with the previously established research criteria. Results: A total of 7 studies were included out of the 4966 studies collected. The included studies were published between 2015 and 2023. The included studies demonstrated that different squat types such as double leg squat, single leg squat and overhead squat were used in injury risk assessment. Despite methodological differences between the included studies, the results showed that squatting can be used for injury risk assessment. Two studies have concluded that squat alone is not sufficient to assess the risk of injury. Conclusion: The squat task can provide convenience to clinicians when assessing the risk of injury, with its advantages such as ease of application and no equipment required. Review registration number: PROSPERO (ID: CRD42023479944).
