Objective
To compare the comprehensiveness of indexing the reports of randomised controlled trials of physiotherapy interventions by eight bibliographic databases (AMED, CENTRAL, CINAHL, EMBASE, Hooked on Evidence, PEDro, PsycINFO and PubMed).Design
Audit of bibliographic databases.Methods
Two hundred and eighty-one reports of randomised controlled trials of physiotherapy interventions were identified by screening the reference lists of 30 relevant systematic reviews published in four consecutive issues of the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (Issue 3, 2007 to Issue 2, 2008). AMED, CENTRAL, CINAHL, EMBASE, Hooked on Evidence, PEDro, PsycINFO and PubMed were used to search for the trial reports. The number of trial reports indexed in each database was calculated.Results
PEDro indexed 99% of the trial reports, CENTRAL indexed 98%, PubMed indexed 91%, EMBASE indexed 82%, CINAHL indexed 61%, Hooked on Evidence indexed 40%, AMED indexed 36% and PsycINFO indexed 17%. Most trial reports (92%) were indexed on four or more of the databases. One trial report was indexed on a single database (PEDro).Conclusions
Of the eight bibliographic databases examined, PEDro and CENTRAL provide the most comprehensive indexing of reports of randomised trials of physiotherapy interventions. 相似文献2.

Dalemans RJ, de Witte LP, Beurskens AJ, van den Heuvel WJ, Wade DT. Psychometric properties of the community integration questionnaire adjusted for people with aphasia.
Objectives
To describe the feasibility of the Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ) adjusted for use in people with aphasia and to report its psychometric properties in people with aphasia (internal consistency, factor analysis, test-retest reliability, convergent validity).Design
A cross-sectional, interview-based psychometric study. Test-retest reliability was evaluated in 20 people (minimal to severe aphasia) by 2 different interviewers within a 2-week period.Setting
Community.Participants
In total 490 stroke survivors with (minimal to severe) aphasia were approached, of which 165 (34%) participants returned the answering letter. Participants (N=150) agreed to take part and were interviewed using a structured interview format.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Community Integration Questionnaire (CIQ), Frenchay Aphasia Screening Test, Barthel Index, Dartmouth Coop Functional Health Assessment Charts (COOP)-World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA) Charts, Life Satisfaction Questionnaire.Results
A total of 150 stroke survivors with aphasia completed the CIQ adjusted for people with aphasia. The CIQ adjusted for people with aphasia was a feasible instrument. Results showed good internal consistency for the CIQ total (standardized Cronbach α=.75), excellent test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient=.96), moderate correlations with the Barthel Index, the COOP-WONCA, and the Life Satisfaction Questionnaire with regard to construct validity. Significant relations were found with regard to age and aphasia severity.Conclusions
The CIQ adjusted for people with aphasia seems to be an adequate instrument to assess participation in people with aphasia. 相似文献3.

Objective
Hamstring injuries are a common occurrence among professional football cheerleaders. The purpose of this study is to identify the effects of an eccentric, closed-chain hamstring exercise intervention on hamstring injury-associated pain during the course of the football season among professional football cheerleaders.Methods
Forty-three female cheerleaders participated in an eccentric, closed-chain hamstring exercise intervention protocol provided by doctors of chiropractic that incorporated loops of elastic-band or Thera-Band Loops (Hygenic Corporation, Akron, OH) during practice and at home during the regular football season. Hamstring injury-related pain was assessed in June, during team selection; in September, at the start of the season; and in December, at the end of season. No intervention was applied between June and September, although the sample participated in 4 hours of practice 2 to 3 times per week. The intervention was applied to the entire sample regardless of hamstring injury-related pain during the regular football season between September and December. The interventions included 2 exercises and were completed bilaterally 2 times per week at each biweekly practice and were encouraged to be done at least 3 additional times per week at home on nonpractice days.Results
Among the subsample who reported hamstring-related injury pain between June and September, the exercise intervention significantly decreased (P < .007) pain between September (6.07 ± 0.58) and December (3.67 ± 0.65).Conclusions
The eccentric, closed-chain hamstring exercise intervention reduced hamstring injury-related pain among this group of professional football cheerleaders. 相似文献4.
Objective
The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology of cheerleading-related strain/sprain injuries by type of cheerleading team and type of event.Methods
Athlete exposure (AE) and injury data were collected from 412 United States cheerleading teams via the Cheerleading Reporting Information Online surveillance tool, and injury rates were calculated.Results
Strains/Sprains were the most common injury (53%; 0.5 injuries per 1000 AEs) sustained by cheerleaders during our 1-year study. The lower extremities (42%), particularly the ankles (28%), were injured most often. Most injuries occurred during practice (82%); however, the rate of injury was higher during competition (0.8 injuries per 1000 AEs; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.6-1.0) than during practice (0.6 injuries per 1000 AEs; 95% CI, 0.5-0.6) for all team types. Injuries were sustained most frequently by high school cheerleaders (51%), although college cheerleaders had the highest injury rate (1.2 injuries per 1000 AEs). Strains/Sprains occurred most frequently while attempting a stunt (34%) or while tumbling (32%). Spotting/Basing other cheerleaders (19%) was the most common mechanism of injury and was more likely to result in a lower back strain/sprain than other mechanisms of injury (odds ratio, 3.38; 95% CI, 1.41-8.09; P < .01).Conclusions
Cheerleaders should increase their focus on conditioning and strength-building training, which may help to prevent strain/sprain injuries. Spotters and bases should additionally focus on proper lifting technique to help avoid back injury. Guidelines may need to be developed for return-to-play after cheerleading-related strain/sprain injuries. 相似文献5.
Objectives
To investigate whether there was a difference in hamstring length between patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome and healthy asymptomatic controls aged 18 to 35 years.Design
A cross-sectional observational study measuring hamstring length in patients and asymptomatic controls.Setting
Hospital physiotherapy department.Participants
Two groups were tested; one group diagnosed with patellofemoral pain syndrome (mean age 27 years, n = 11, six males, five females) and one group of asymptomatic controls (mean age 25 years, n = 25, 13 males, 12 females).Main outcome measures
Hamstring length was evaluated using the passive knee extension method to measure popliteal angle.Results
The mean (standard deviation) values for hamstring length were 145.6 (8.7)° for patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome and 153.7 (10.1)° for the asymptomatic controls. The mean (95% confidence interval) difference between the groups was 8.0 (0.8 to 15.1)°, and analysis with a t-test revealed that this was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions
This study found that patients with patellofemoral pain had shorter hamstring muscles than asymptomatic controls. It is not clear whether this is a cause or effect of the condition. Further research is suggested to study how hamstring length changes with rehabilitation, and the relationship with pain. 相似文献6.

Background
Falls from heights are common in urban areas in the United States. This study describes the epidemiology of balcony fall-related injuries requiring emergency department (ED) treatment among children and adults in the United States from 1990 through 2006.Methods
In 2009, a retrospective analysis of data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission was conducted to describe the epidemiology of balcony fall-related injuries.Results
An estimated 86?500 (95% confidence interval [CI], 68?400-104?600) balcony fall-related injuries were treated in US hospital EDs from 1990 through 2006; 70% of cases were male; 63% were adults (≥18 years old); 94% of injury events occurred at home; 24% of patients were hospitalized; and 8 patients died. The rate of balcony fall-related injuries among children decreased significantly during 1990 to 2006 and was similar to that of adults by the end of the study period. Fall heights ranged from 5 to 87.5 ft. Structural failure of the balcony was involved in an estimated 5600 cases. Patients younger than 18 years were more likely to sustain a concussion/closed head injury (relative risk, 2.42; 95% CI, 1.84-3.18) or skull fracture (relative risk, 5.86; 95% CI, 2.58-13.30) than adults.Conclusions
This is the first study of balcony fall-related injuries requiring emergency treatment using a nationally representative sample. Balcony falls are an important cause of injury in the United States. Age, male sex, and warm months of the year were associated with balcony fall-related injuries in our study population. 相似文献7.
Objectives
To investigate the inter-observer and intra-observer reliability of measurement of ankle movement during a weight-bearing dorsiflexion lunge in healthy and injured groups.Setting
Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, UK.Participants
Seventeen healthy subjects, 11 subjects with ankle injuries and three trained observers.Design
Each observer assessed subjects on two separate test days, 7 days apart. Each measurement was repeated six times and the results were averaged. Limits of agreement and intra-class correlation coefficients were calculated to give a measure of reliability.Main outcome measures
A measurement tool designed at the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre, UK.Results
Intra-observer 95% limits of agreement ranged from ±3.30 to ±3.66 cm for the healthy group and from ±2.35 to ±3.85 cm for patients. The inter-observer limits of agreement ranged from ±1.57 to ±2.65 cm for healthy subjects and from ±0.87 to ±3.46 cm for patients.Conclusions
Results indicate acceptable inter-observer and intra-observer reliability for use of this rehabilitation assessment tool to measure the weight-bearing dorsiflexion lunge range of ankle motion when results are averaged over six repetitions. 相似文献8.

Objective
To investigate the relationship of preinjury caregiver and family functioning to community integration outcomes in persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design
Inception cohort.Setting
Three TBI Model Systems inpatient rehabilitation facilities.Participants
Persons with TBI (N=141) and their caregivers admitted to inpatient rehabilitation and followed up at 1 to 2 years after injury.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Community Integration Questionnaire and the Social and Occupation scales of the Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique.Results
There were significant interactions of several preinjury caregiver and family variables with injury severity. For persons with complicated mild/moderate injury, better family functioning was associated with greater home integration, and less caregiver distress was associated with better social integration. For persons with severe injuries, greater caregiver perceived social support was associated with better outcomes in productivity and social integration.Conclusions
Preinjury caregiver and family characteristics interact with injury severity to affect outcomes in persons with injury. Research on outcomes should include measures of caregiver and family functioning. Early interventions targeted toward decreasing caregiver distress, increasing support, and improving family functioning may have a positive impact on later outcomes. 相似文献9.
Objectives
To examine the literature to determine if stabilisation exercises are effective for the treatment of pain and dysfunction in patients with low back pain.Data sources
PubMed (MEDLINE), CINAHL, AMED, PEDro and the Cochrane Library were searched up to October 2006.Review methods
Inclusion criteria were: randomised clinical trials; in English; full publications; subjects were adults with low back pain; one group received specific stabilisation exercises as the primary intervention; and outcome measures included some measure of pain and/or function. Following a systematic search of major databases, articles were scored according to the PEDro criteria for quality. Due to heterogeneity of specific interventions, control groups, duration of follow-up, outcome measures and study population, a meta-analysis was not conducted. A qualitative review was undertaken that focused on study quality, study population and type of control group.Results
In total, 18 trials were included in the review; a large number of trials were excluded. There was little evidence to support the use of stabilisation exercises for acute low back pain. There was some evidence to support the use of stabilisation exercises in chronic back pain, with the majority of high-quality trials showing a significant difference in favour of stabilisation exercises. Overall, however, the evidence was conflicting, and significant differences favouring stabilisation exercises were less likely when they were compared with active treatment control groups rather than inactive control groups.Conclusions
There may be a role for specific stabilisation exercises in some patients with chronic low back pain, but these are no more effective than other active interventions. 相似文献10.

Objective
To examine the temporal relationship between self-reported injury-related functional limitations and depressive symptomatology after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design
A longitudinal cohort study with 3 evaluation points.Setting
A level I trauma center.Participants
Adolescents and adults (N=135) with complicated mild to severe TBI (72% had complicated mild injuries) who were recruited within 24 hours of injury and then completed the measure at all 3 time points.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Sickness Impact Profile and Center for Epidemiological Studies−Depression Scale.Results
Individuals who reported more depressive symptomatology consistently endorsed more injury-related difficulties, showing the strong relationship between depression and perceived psychosocial functioning. Examination of these relationships over time revealed that increased depressive symptomatology follows higher levels of perceived injury-related changes but that reports of injury-related changes are not associated with earlier depression. These findings suggest a unidirectional temporal relationship between these variables.Conclusions
Perceived changes in daily functioning appear to influence emotional well-being over time after TBI. However, depressive symptoms do not appear to negatively impact individuals' perception of later functioning. These results further our understanding of the complicated relationship between these variables and may have important implications for treatment of depression after TBI. 相似文献11.
Context
Patients with acute life-threatening illness are candidates for enrollment in multiple trials. Whether patients are enrolled in multiple trials has implications for patient safety, trial enrollment duration, and study validity.Objective
We review issues related to coenrollment and propose guidelines for when it should be allowed.Results
There is no regulatory prohibition on coenrollment of patients in more than one study. Randomized trials of interventions for a variety of clinical conditions have allowed coenrollment without any reported deleterious impact on either study. Guidelines for coenrollment are proposed. 相似文献12.

Krassioukov A, Warburton DE, Teasell R, Eng JJ, Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Evidence Research Team. A systematic review of the management of autonomic dysreflexia after spinal cord injury.
Objective
To review systematically the clinical evidence on strategies to prevent and manage autonomic dysreflexia (AD).Data Sources
A key word search of several databases (Medline, CINAHL, EMBASE, and PsycINFO), in addition to manual searches of retrieved articles, was undertaken to identify all English-language literature evaluating the efficacy of interventions for AD.Study Selection
Studies selected for review included randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective cohort studies, and cross-sectional studies. Treatments reviewed included pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic interventions for the management of AD in subjects with spinal cord injury. Studies that failed to assess AD outcomes (eg, blood pressure) or symptoms (eg, headaches, sweating) were excluded.Data Extraction
Studies were critically reviewed and assessed for their methodologic quality by 2 independent reviewers.Data Synthesis
Thirty-one studies were assessed, including 6 RCTs. Preventative strategies to reduce the episodes of AD caused by common triggers (eg, urogenital system, surgery) primarily were supported by level 4 (pre-post studies) and level 5 (observational studies) evidence. The initial acute nonpharmacologic management of an episode of AD (ie, positioning the patient upright, loosening tight clothing, eliminating any precipitating stimulus) is supported by clinical consensus and physiologic data (level 5 evidence). The use of antihypertensive drugs in the presence of sustained elevated blood pressure is supported by level 1 (prazosin) and level 2 evidence (nifedipine and prostaglandin E2).Conclusions
A variety of options are available to prevent AD (eg, surgical, pharmacologic) and manage the acute episode (elimination of triggers, pharmacologic); however, these options are predominantly supported by evidence from noncontrolled trials, and more rigorous trials are required. 相似文献13.

Camargos AC, Rodrigues-de-Paula-Goulart F, Teixeira-Salmela LF. The effects of foot position on the performance of the sit-to-stand movement with chronic stroke subjects.
Objective
To investigate the effects of different foot positions during the sit-to-stand (STS) movements with stroke subjects.Design
Cross-sectional.Setting
Research laboratory.Participants
Twelve chronic stroke subjects (N=12).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Differential latency and electromyography (EMG) activity of the tibialis anterior, soleus, quadriceps, and hamstring muscles of the affected leg as well as the movement time, time of seat-off, weight symmetry, and rising index were obtained while the subjects performed the STS movements by using 4 different strategies: spontaneous; symmetric; asymmetric-1, with the affected foot behind; and asymmetric-2, with the unaffected foot behind.Results
Compared with the spontaneous strategy, the soleus showed the greatest differential latency in the asymmetric-2 strategy, the hamstrings had lower EMG activity in the symmetric strategy, and the movement time was greater in the asymmetric strategies.Conclusions
The asymmetric 2 strategy appeared to be the least favorable, whereas the spontaneous and the symmetric strategies appeared to be more favorable in improving the STS performance. Based on these findings, allowing the subjects to adopt the spontaneous strategy or training of the symmetric strategy could result in greater benefits for subjects with higher chronicity and higher functional levels, such as those evaluated in the present study. 相似文献14.

Objective
To assess black-white differences in functional outcomes, controlling for patient characteristics, use of nontherapy ancillaries (NTAs), and use of physical (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) activities and interventions.Design
Multicenter prospective observational cohort study of poststroke rehabilitation.Setting
Six U.S. inpatient rehabilitation facilities.Participants
Patients (N=732) subdivided into case-mix subgroups (CMGs; CMGs 104-107 for moderate strokes [n=397], CMGs 108-114 for severe strokes [n=335]).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
Discharge Motor FIM.Results
Taking into account patient characteristics, NTAs, and therapy activities, multivariate regressions explained (R2) 54% and 69% of variation in outcomes between patients with moderate and severe stroke, respectively. Black race was associated with lower outcomes than white race in the severe group. However, race was no longer associated with outcomes after including interventions used within PT and OT activities. Including interventions within therapy activities increased R2 to 64% and 74% for moderate and severe strokes, respectively. Some PT and OT activities were provided more to blacks than whites and vice versa. Greater intensity sometimes was associated with better and sometimes with poorer functional outcomes.Conclusions
After controlling for interventions within activities, no racial differences were found in functional outcomes at discharge despite racial differences in rehabilitation care, possibly because each racial group received a mixture of interventions that were negatively and positively associated with outcome. Clinicians should provide therapies associated with better outcomes with high and similar intensities for black and white patients poststroke. 相似文献16.
Objective

Repeated measures design in both Study 1 (video evaluation) and Study 2 (clinical evaluation).Setting
University department (Study 1) and outpatient physiotherapy department (Study 2).Participants
Sixty physiotherapists and physiotherapy students in Study 1 and 45 patients undergoing physiotherapy treatment for a musculoskeletal injury in Study 2.Intervention
In Study 1, participants rated the adherence of a simulated videotaped patient demonstrating high, moderate and low adherence during rehabilitation. In Study 2, two physiotherapists rated the adherence of patients at two consecutive rehabilitation sessions.Main outcome measure
The SIRAS.Results
In Study 1, principal components analysis confirmed a single factor for the SIRAS, and inter-rater agreement values ranged from 0.87 to 0.93. In Study 2, inter-rater and test-retest reliability coefficients ranged from 0.76 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.54 to 0.83] to 0.89 (95% CI 0.79 to 0.95), and from 0.63 (95% CI 0.36-0.82) to 0.76 (95% CI 0.55-0.88), respectively.Conclusion
The SIRAS is a reliable measure with high inter-rater agreement when used to evaluate clinic-based adherence to physiotherapy rehabilitation for musculoskeletal injury. 相似文献17.

Colbert AP, Markov MS, Carlson N, Gregory WL, Carlson H, Elmer PJ. Static magnetic field therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome: a feasibility study.
Objectives
To assess the feasibility of conducting trials of static magnetic field (SMF) therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), to collect preliminary data on the effectiveness of 2 SMF dosages, and to explore the influence of an SMF on median nerve conduction.Design
Randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled trial with a 6-week intervention and a 12-week follow-up.Setting
University hospital outpatient clinics.Participants
Women and men (N=60), ages 21 to 65 years, with an electrophysiologically confirmed CTS diagnosis recruited from the general population.Interventions
Participants wore nightly either neodymium magnets that delivered either 15 or 45mTesla (mT) to the contents of the carpal canal or a nonmagnetic disk.Main Outcome Measures
Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) and Function Severity Scale (FSS) of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire (BCTQ) and 4 median nerve parameters: sensory distal latency, sensory nerve action potential amplitude, motor distal latency and compound motor action potential amplitude.Results
Fifty-eight of 60 randomized participants completed the study. There were no significant between-group differences for change in the primary endpoint SSS or for FSS or median nerve conduction parameters. For the SSS and the FSS, each group showed a reduction at 6 weeks indicating improvement in symptoms.Conclusions
This study showed the feasibility and safety of testing SMF therapy for CTS. There were no between-group differences observed for the BCTQ or median nerve parameters after 6 weeks of SMF therapy. Significant within-group, symptomatic improvements of the same magnitude were experienced by participants in both active and sham magnet groups. Future studies are needed to optimize SMF dosimetry and resolve issues related to the use of sham controls in SMF trials. 相似文献18.

Objective
To develop a prediction rule for acutely identifying patients at risk for extended rehabilitation length of stay (LOS) after traumatic brain injury (TBI) by using demographic and injury characteristics.Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems.Participants
Sample of TBI survivors (N=7284) with injuries occurring between 1999 and 2009.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Extended rehabilitation LOS defined as 67 days or longer.Results
A multivariable model was built containing FIM motor and cognitive scores at admission, preinjury level of education, cause of injury, punctate/petechial hemorrhage, acute-care LOS, and primary payor source. The model had good calibration, excellent discrimination (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = .875), and validated well. Based on this model, a formula for determining the probability of extended rehabilitation LOS and a prediction rule that classifies patients with predicted probabilities greater than 4.9% as at risk for extended rehabilitation LOS were developed.Conclusions
The current predictor model for TBI survivors who require extended inpatient rehabilitation may allow for enhanced rehabilitation team planning, improved patient and family education, and better use of health care resources. Cross-validation of this model with other TBI populations is recommended. 相似文献19.

Liang H, Mojtahedi MC, Chen D, Braunschweig CL. Elevated C-reactive protein associated with decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in men with spinal cord injury.
Objectives
To determine if people with spinal cord injury (SCI) have elevated C-reactive protein (CRP), to examine the association of CRP with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and to assess the influence of completeness and level of injury on these parameters.Design
Cross-sectional.Setting
Urban university.Participants
Men with SCI (n=129) who were free of infection and/or recent anti-inflammatory medication use as well as their 1:1 age- and race-matched able-bodied counterparts from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
High CRP was defined as 3mg/L or higher and low HDL-C as less than 1.04mmol/L.Results
Men with SCI were more likely to have high CRP (odds ratio [OR]=2.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.33-3.95) and low HDL-C (OR=1.81; 95% CI, 1.01-3.27). The OR for low HDL-C in SCI was no longer significant when high CRP was controlled. CRP was higher in complete versus incomplete injury (median, 3.7mg/L vs 1.2mg/L; P=.005), and this elevation was independent of age, smoking, physical activity, waist circumference, and weight. No conclusion can be made on the association of injury level and CRP because of a lack of power.Conclusions
The elevated CRP, possibly the major risk factor, together with decreased HDL-C may contribute to greater incidence for cardiovascular disease in the SCI population. 相似文献20.
