​The July 2023 issue of JNPT is filled with outstanding content! In this issue, Pauwels and colleagues performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the influence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and treatment effects of particle repositioning maneuvers on gait, falls, and fear of falling. Mañago and colleagues tested psychometric properties of the Patient-Specific Functional Scale for measuring mobility-related goals in people with multiple sclerosis. Girnis and colleagues characterized natural walking intensity in ambulatory persons with Parkinson disease during daily life. Draganich and colleagues tested the external validity of a clinical prediction rule for predicting outdoor walking one year after spinal cord injury. A clinical point of view on this article was also provided in a commentary by Kandilakis and colleagues. Ventura and colleagues appraised the reporting quality of randomized controlled rehabilitation trials focused on multiple sclerosis. Bradford and colleagues established core competencies for entry-level neurologic physical therapist education. Also, be sure to check out the final Academy of Neurologic Physical Therapy President’s Perspective from Dr. Patricia Scheets: “An Eye Toward a New Vision​”. 

We hope you enjoy this issue!
