The aim of this forum is to enable offline discussion of the evidence in the literature concerning the benefit of physical therapy for patients suffering from different states of depression (major, post-partum, accompanying AD).

The need stems from the fact that participants are scattered around the globe and might have difficulties attending the online discussion at the time of the JC (May 5, 2009; see details in the JC section).

Please use the link in the JC section to get access to a series of selected papers on this important topic.

Marta have sent instructions that can be found in the description of the "Forthcoming Activity".

Dear members of the Education Committee of the ISPRM,

Good afternoon!

Thank you very much for agreeing to participate in the series of activities which will generate the Guidelines for the ISPRM Clinical Updates in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine.

I would like to provide you with a feedback from our ISPRM Consensus Meeting on Exercise therapy and Monopolar Depression held last Tuesday, May 5th 2009. As stated previously, our main goal is to provide the Education Committee with education materials to fill the gap between the textbooks and the specific papers published in the literature on the main topics of our specialty. These guidelines will aim not only the specialist but also other physicians in general and the public. For that reason the guidelines will try to answer structured relevant clinical questions of diseases that are most prevalent in the International arena. We have attendants from Malasya, Canada and Brazil and have already finalized the draft of our first topic which is under review by the participants from the last meeting.

I would like to kindly invite you to participate on the second topic! Please, find the details attached.

Looking very much forward to your insights and comments,

Sincerely yours,

Marta Imamura
