Objective
To determine the amplitude of the electromyographic activity of trunk muscles during Pilates exercises in women with and without chronic low back pain (LBP).Design
Case-control study.Setting
University physical therapy clinic.Participants
Women (N=60) divided into an LBP group and a control group.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Amplitude of the electromyographic activity (root mean square values) of the gluteus maximus and external oblique muscles collected during 3 Pilates exercises: Shoulder Bridge performed on the mat, and Hip Roll and Breathing performed in equipment. Pain intensity was assessed in the LBP group.Results
The amplitude of the electromyographic activity was similar between groups (P≥.05). For both groups, the amplitude of the gluteus maximus was higher in the Shoulder Bridge exercise compared with the Hip Roll with 2 springs (control group: mean difference [MD]=.18; 95% confidence interval [CI], .05–.41; LBP group: MD=.29; 95% CI, .16–.31) and the Breathing exercise (control group: MD=?.40; 95% CI, ?.55 to ?.26; LBP group: MD=?.36; 95% CI, ?.52 to ?.20). The amplitude of the external oblique muscle was higher in the Shoulder Bridge compared with the Hip Roll with 2 springs (control group: MD=.13; 95% CI, .05–.21; LBP group: MD=.18; 95% CI, .03–.33). Pain intensity increased after exercises, but this increase was lower for the mat exercises.Conclusions
Similar muscle activation between groups was found. The findings suggest that mat exercises caused less pain and a greater difference in the amplitude of muscle activation compared with the equipment-based exercises. 相似文献2.

Background
Chronic low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal impairment in people with lower limb amputation. Given the multifactorial nature of LBP, exploring the factors influencing the presence and intensity of LBP is warranted.Objective
To investigate which physical, personal, and amputee-specific factors predicted the presence and intensity of LBP in persons with nondysvascular transfemoral amputation (TFA) and transtibial amputation (TTA).Design
A retrospective cross-sectional survey.Setting
A national random sample of people with nondysvascular TFA and TTA.Participants
Participants (N = 526) with unilateral TFA and TTA due to nondysvascular etiology (ie, trauma, tumors, and congenital causes) and a minimum prosthesis use of 1 year since amputation were invited to participate in the survey. The data from 208 participants (43.4% response rate) were used for multivariate regression analysis.Methods (Independent Variables)
Personal (ie, age, body mass, gender, work status, and presence of comorbid conditions), amputee-specific (ie, level of amputation, years of prosthesis use, presence of phantom-limb pain, residual-limb problems, and nonamputated limb pain), and physical factors (ie, pain-provoking postures including standing, bending, lifting, walking, sitting, sit-to-stand, and climbing stairs).Main Outcome Measures (Dependent Variables)
LBP presence and intensity.Results
A multivariate logistic regression model showed that the presence of 2 or more comorbid conditions (prevalence odds ratio [POR] = 4.34, P = .01), residual-limb problems (POR = 3.76, P < .01), and phantom-limb pain (POR = 2.46, P = .01) influenced the presence of LBP. Given the high LBP prevalence (63%) in the study, there is a tendency for overestimation of POR, and the results must be interpreted with caution. In those with LBP, the presence of residual-limb problems (β = 0.21, P = .01) and experiencing LBP symptoms during sit-to-stand task (β = 0.22, P = .03) were positively associated with LBP intensity, whereas being employed demonstrated a negative association (β = ?0.18, P = .03) in the multivariate linear regression model.Conclusions
Rehabilitation professionals should be cognizant of the influence that comorbid conditions, residual-limb problems, and phantom pain have on the presence of LBP in people with nondysvascular lower limb amputation. Further prospective studies could investigate the underlying causal mechanisms of LBP.Level of Evidence

Objectives
To assess the association of physical activity measures, derived with an accelerometer and a self-reported questionnaire, with fear of movement in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (LBP) and to investigate the association between disability and fear of movement in this population.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Outpatient physical therapy university clinics.Participants
Patients (N=119) presenting with nonspecific LBP of >3 months' duration.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Physical activity levels measured objectively with an accelerometer (ie, counts per minute, time spent in moderate-to-vigorous and light physical activity per day, number of steps per day, and number of 10-minute bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity per day) and subjectively with a self-reported questionnaire (Baecke Physical Activity Questionnaire); fear of movement (Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia); pain (11-point numerical rating scale); disability (Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire); and depression (Beck Depression Inventory). The associations were examined with correlational, univariate, and multivariable linear regression analyses.Results
None of the objective physical activity measures were associated with fear of movement. The apparent association of self-reported physical activity levels with fear of movement (correlational analyses: r=?.18; P<.05; univariate regression analyses: β=?.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], ?.07 to ?.01; P=.04) was not confirmed in multivariable analyses. Fear of movement was consistently associated with disability in both correlational (r=.42; P<.01) and multivariable (β=.21; 95% CI, .11–.31; P<.001) analyses.Conclusions
Our data support one aspect of the fear-avoidance model—that higher fear of movement is associated with more disability—but not the aspect of the model linking fear of movement with inactivity. 相似文献4.

Objective
To explore the feasibility of a newly developed smartphone-based exercise program with an embedded self-classification algorithm for office workers with neck pain, by examining its effect on the pain intensity, functional disability, quality of life, fear avoidance, and cervical range of motion (ROM).Design
Single-group, repeated-measures design.Setting
The laboratory and participants' home and work environments.Participants
Offices workers with neck pain (N=23; mean age ± SD, 28.13±2.97y; 13 men).Intervention
Participants were classified as having 1 of 4 types of neck pain through a self-classification algorithm implemented as a smartphone application, and conducted corresponding exercise programs for 10 to 12min/d, 3d/wk, for 8 weeks.Main Outcome Measures
The visual analog scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), and cervical ROM were measured at baseline and postintervention.Results
The VAS (P<.001) and NDI score (P<.001) indicated significant improvements in pain intensity and functional disability. Quality of life showed significant improvements in the physical functioning (P=.007), bodily pain (P=.018), general health (P=.022), vitality (P=.046), and physical component scores (P=.002) of the SF-36. The FABQ, cervical ROM, and mental component score of the SF-36 showed no significant improvements.Conclusions
The smartphone-based exercise program with an embedded self-classification algorithm improves the pain intensity and perceived physical health of office workers with neck pain, although not enough to affect their mental and emotional states. 相似文献5.
Background
Ideally, high-stakes examinations assess 1 dimension of medical knowledge to produce precise estimates of a candidate’s performance. It has not been reported whether the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Part 1 Certification Examination (ABPMR-CE-1) is unidimensional or not.Objective
To examine the ABPMR-CE-1 to measure how many dimensions it assesses.Design
Retrospective observational study.Setting
We assessed examination results from the 2015 ABPMR-CE-1.Participants
A total of 489 deidentified candidates taking the 2015 ABPMR-CE-1.Methods
A 1-parameter Item Response Theory (IRT) measurement model was utilized. A Principal Components Analysis (PCA) of standardized residual correlations was used to detect multidimensionality.Main Outcome Measure
Number of primary dimensions reflected in the 325 test questions.Results
The results of the dimensionality analysis indicated that the ABPMR-CE-1 examination is highly unidimensional from a psychometric perspective. Expert content review of the substantive content of small contrasting clusters of questions provided additional assurance of the unidimensional nature of the examination.Conclusions
The ABPMR-CE-1 appears indeed to measure a single construct, which suggests a sound structure of the examination. It closely approximates the assumption of statistical unidimensionality.Level of Evidence

Objective
To examine how patient satisfaction with care coordination and quality and access to medical care influence functional improvement or deterioration (activity limitation stage transitions), institutionalization, or death among older adults.Design
National representative sample with 2-year follow-up.Setting
Medicare Current Beneficiary Survey from calendar years 2001 to 2008.Participants
Community-dwelling adults (N=23,470) aged ≥65 years followed for 2 years.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
A multinomial logistic regression model taking into account the complex survey design was used to examine the association between patient satisfaction with care coordination and quality and patient satisfaction with access to medical care and activities of daily living (ADL) stage transitions, institutionalization, or death after 2 years, adjusting for baseline socioeconomics and health-related characteristics.Results
Out of 23,470 Medicare beneficiaries, 14,979 (63.8% weighted) remained stable in ADL stage, 2508 (10.7% weighted) improved, 3210 (13.3% weighted) deteriorated, 582 (2.5% weighted) were institutionalized, and 2281 (9.7% weighted) died. Beneficiaries who were in the top quartile of satisfaction with care coordination and quality were less likely to be institutionalized (adjusted relative risk ratio [RRR], .68; 95% confidence interval [CI], .54–.86). Beneficiaries who were in the top quartile of satisfaction with access to medical care were less likely to functionally deteriorate (adjusted RRR, .87; 95% CI, .79–.97), be institutionalized (adjusted RRR, .72; 95% CI, .56–.92), or die (adjusted RRR, .86; 95% CI, .75–.98).Conclusions
Knowledge of patient satisfaction with medical care and risk of functional deterioration may be helpful for monitoring and addressing disability-related health care disparities and the effect of ongoing policy changes among Medicare beneficiaries. 相似文献8.

Objective
To determine the association between the amplitude of vastus medialis (VM) Hoffmann reflex (H-reflex) and pain level, self-reported physical function, and chronicity of pain in women with patellofemoral pain (PFP).Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Laboratory of biomechanics and motor control.Participants
Women diagnosed with PFP (N=15) aged 18 to 35 years.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Data on worst pain level during the previous month, self-reported physical function, and symptom duration (chronicity) were collected from the participants. Maximum evoked responses were obtained by electrical stimulation applied to the femoral nerve and peak-to-peak amplitudes of normalized maximal H-reflexes (maximal Hoffmann reflex/maximal motor wave ratios) of the VM were calculated. A Pearson product-moment correlation matrix (r) was used to explore the relations between the amplitude of VM H-reflex and worst pain during the previous month, self-reported function, and chronicity of pain.Results
Strong negative correlations were found between the amplitude of VM H-reflex and worst pain in the previous month (r=?.71; P=.003) and chronicity (r=?.74; P=.001). A strong positive correlation was found between the amplitude of VM H-reflex and self-reported physical function (r=.62; P=.012).Conclusions
The strong and significant relations reported in this study suggest that women with PFP showing greater VM H-reflex excitability tend to have lower pain, better physical function, and more recent symptoms. Therefore, rehabilitation strategies designed to increase the excitability of the monosynaptic stretch reflex should be considered in the treatment of women with PFP if their effectiveness is demonstrated in future studies. 相似文献9.

Background
A significant proportion of burn injury patients are admitted to inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). There is increasing interest in the use of functional variables, such as cognition, in predicting IRF outcomes. Cognitive impairment is an important cause of disability in the burn injury population, yet its relationship to IRF outcomes has not been studied.Objective
To assess how cognitive function affects rehabilitation outcomes in the burn injury population.Design
Retrospective study.Setting
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities in the United States.Participants
A total of 5347 adults admitted to an IRF with burn injury between 2002 and 2011.Methods or Interventions
Multivariable regression was used to model rehabilitation outcome measures, using the cognitive domain of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) instrument as the independent variable and controlling for demographic, medical, and facility covariates.Main Outcome Measurements
FIM total gain, readmission to an acute care setting at any time during inpatient rehabilitation, readmission to an acute care setting in the first 3 days of IRF admission, rate of discharge to the community setting, and length of stay efficiency.Results
Cognitive FIM total at admission was a significant predictor of FIM total gain, length of stay efficiency, and acute readmission at 3 days (P < .05). Cognitive FIM total scores did not have an impact on acute care readmission rate or discharge to the community setting.Conclusions
Cognitive status may be an important predictor of rehabilitation outcomes in the burn injury population. Future work is needed to further examine the impact of specific cognitive interventions on rehabilitation outcomes in this population.Level of Evidence

Background
Stroke is a primary cause of death and disability in upper-middle–income countries such as Colombia. Given the lack of comprehensive rehabilitation for stroke patients in Colombia, there is a need to assess longitudinal mental health problems poststroke in this region.Objective
To compare the course of mental health in stroke patients to healthy controls over the first year poststroke in Ibague, Colombia.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
The Psychological Attention Center of Antonio Nariño University in Ibague, Colombia.Participants
Stroke patients (n = 50) and age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 50).Methods
Patients and controls completed self-report Spanish versions of demographic information, injury-related characteristics, and mental health questionnairesMain Outcome Measurements
Outcomes assessed included mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress) at 3, 6, and 12 months poststroke.Results
Hierarchical linear models suggested that stroke patients had worse depression and anxiety over time than controls (P < .001). Among patients, depression and anxiety decreased over time (P < .001), whereas stress increased over time (P < .01). The findings suggest that although anxiety and depression improved over time in stroke patients, their mental health remained significantly lower than that of controls.Conclusions
This is the first study to examine the course of mental health over the first year poststroke in Latin America, specifically in Ibague, Colombia. Despite the improvements in anxiety and depression over the first year poststroke, patient anxiety and depression were still worse in comparison to those in healthy controls. The current findings indicate a need for rehabilitation services in Colombia, especially targeting mental health issues.Level of Evidence

Objectives
To evaluate the extent of variability in functional responses in participants in the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study and to identify the relative contributions of intervention adherence, physical activity, and demographic and health characteristics to this variability.Design
Secondary analysis.Setting
Multicenter institutions.Participants
A volunteer sample (N=1635) of sedentary men and women aged 70 to 89 years who were able to walk 400m but had physical limitations, defined as a Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) score of ≤9.Interventions
Moderate-intensity physical activity (n=818) consisting of aerobic, resistance, and flexibility exercises performed both center-based (2times/wk) and home-based (3–4times/wk) sessions or health education program (n=817) consisting of weekly to monthly workshops covering relevant health information.Main Outcome Measures
Physical function (gait speed over 400m) and lower extremity function (SPPB score) assessed at baseline and 6, 12, and 24 months.Results
Greater baseline physical function (gait speed, SPPB score) was negatively associated with change in gait speed (regression coefficient β=?.185; P<.001) and change in SPPB score (β=?.365; P<.001), whereas higher number of steps per day measured by accelerometry was positively associated with change in gait speed (β=.035; P<.001) and change in SPPB score (β=.525; P<.001). Other baseline factors associated with positive change in gait speed and/or SPPB score include younger age (P<.001), lower body mass index (P<.001), and higher self-reported physical activity (P=.002).Conclusions
Several demographic and physical activity–related factors were associated with the extent of change in functional outcomes in participants in the LIFE study. These factors should be considered when designing interventions for improving physical function in older adults with limited mobility. 相似文献12.
Background
There is a growing interest in the use of biologic agents such as platelet-rich plasma and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells to treat musculoskeletal injuries, including meniscal tears. Although previous research has documented the role of diagnostic ultrasound to evaluate meniscal tears, sonographically guided (SG) techniques to specifically deliver therapeutic agents into the meniscus have not been described.Objective
To describe and validate SG injection techniques for the body and posterior horn of the medial and lateral meniscus.Design
Prospective, cadaveric laboratory investigation.Setting
Academic institution procedural skills laboratory.Subjects
Five unenbalmed cadaveric knee-ankle-foot specimens from 5 donors (3 female and 2 male) ages 33-92 years (mean age 74 years) with body mass indices of 21.1-32.4 kg/m2 (mean 24.1 kg/m2).Methods
A single, experienced operator completed SG injections into the bodies and posterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci of 5 unenbalmed cadaveric knees using colored latex and a 22-gauge, 38-mm needle. After injection, coinvestigators dissected each specimen to assess latex distribution within the menisci and identify injury to intra-articular and periarticular structures.Main Outcome Measures
Latex location within the target region of meniscus (accurate/inaccurate), and iatrogenic injury to “at risk” intra- and periarticular structures (present/absent).Results
Seventeen of 20 injections were accurate. Two of 3 inaccurate injections infiltrated the posterior horn of the medial meniscus instead of the targeted meniscal body. One inaccurate lateral meniscus injection did not contain latex despite sonographically accurate needle placement. No specimen exhibited injury to regional neurovascular structures or intra-articular hyaline cartilage.Conclusions
SG meniscus injections are feasible and can accurately and safely deliver injectates such as regenerative agents into bodies and posterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci. The role of SG intrameniscal injections in the treatment of patients with degenerative and traumatic meniscal disorders warrants further exploration.Level of Evidence

Background
OnabotulinumtoxinA is approved for the treatment of upper and lower limb spasticity in adults. Guidance on common postures and onabotulinumtoxinA injection paradigms for upper limb spasticity has been developed via a Delphi Panel; however, similar guidance for lower limb spasticity has not been established.Objective
To define a clinically recommended treatment paradigm for the use of onabotulinumtoxinA for each common posture among patients with poststroke lower limb spasticity (PSLLS) and to identify the most common PSLLS aggregate postures.Design
Clinical experts provided insight regarding onabotulinumtoxinA treatment for PSLLS using an adaptation of the Delphi consensus process.Setting
Delphi panel.Participants
Ten expert clinicians in neurology and physical medicine and rehabilitation who treat PSLLS.Methods
A minimum of 2 rounds of anonymous voting occurred for each recommendation until consensus was reached (≥66% agreement). The first round was conducted via a survey; the second round was an in-person meeting.Main Outcome Measurements
Reached consensus on muscle selection for injection, overall and per-muscle dose of onabotulinumtoxinA, number of injection sites/muscle, onabotulinumtoxinA dilution, and use of localization techniques. The most common PSLLS postures were reviewed. Recommendations were tailored toward injectors with less experience.Results
Consensus was reached on targeted subsets of muscles for each posture. Doses ranged from 20 to 150 U for individual muscles and 50 to 300 U for limb postures. OnabotulinumtoxinA dilution 50 U/mL (2:1 ratio) was considered most appropriate but varied based on muscles selected (range, 2:1-4:1). Experts agreed that localization techniques for muscle identification during injection for all postures would be useful. For suboptimal response to injection, all panel members would increase the dose, and the majority (89%) would increase the number of treated muscles. The panel identified 3 common aggregating lower limb postures: (1) equinovarus foot and flexed toes; (2) extended knee and plantar flexed foot/ankle; and (3) plantar flexed foot/ankle and flexed toes. The recommended starting doses for each aggregate posture were 400 U, 400 U, and 300 U, respectively.Conclusion
The modified Delphi panel process provided consensus on common muscles and corresponding onabotulinumtoxinA treatment paradigms for postures associated with PSLLS that can be used for guidance in optimizing care delivery.Level of Evidence

Objective
To determine whether patient-reported measures would be clinically sensitive and useful for identifying functional change within an intensive chronic pain program setting by examining 2 patient-reported measures administered as part of physical and occupational therapy for chronic pain.Design
A retrospective data analysis of children and adolescents with chronic pain treated over a single calendar year. Paired t tests evaluated change in perceived function measures and pain over time. Standardized residual change scores were used in subsequent regression to assess associations between change scores.Setting
An interdisciplinary pediatric pain rehabilitation program that supports children and adolescents with chronic pain by increasing strength, flexibility, and endurance; facilitating a return to daily life activities; and using appropriate self-directed coping and pain management skills.Participants
Children and adolescents (N=109; age range, 8–19y; 83% girls) with various chronic pain diagnoses who were admitted to a 3- to 4-week intensive pain rehabilitation program.Interventions
Participants were involved in physical and occupational therapy for 3 hours daily, as well as recreation therapy, psychology, school, aquatics, art therapy, and music therapy for a total of 8 hours daily. Parents were involved in parent education with therapists from all disciplines in conjunction with their child's programming.Main Outcome Measures
Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI), and self-reported pain severity rating on 0-to-10 numerical rating scale.Results
Data demonstrated significant gains in LEFS and UEFI during the program. Improvement in perceived functioning was significantly correlated with a reduction in pain.Conclusions
The LEFS and UEFI provide a meaningful way to track progress in chronic pain rehabilitation. Using self-perceived measures, children and adolescents noted significant functional improvement, associated with less pain intensity. These findings increase our understanding of the rehabilitation process and point to goals for clinical improvement. 相似文献18.

Objectives
To examine the effect of experimental knee pain on perceived knee pain and gait patterns and to examine the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on perceived knee pain and pain-induced knee gait mechanics.Design
Crossover trial.Setting
Biomechanics laboratory.Participants
Recreationally active, individuals without musculoskeletal pain aged 18 to 35 years (N=30).Interventions
Thirty able-bodied individuals were assigned to either a TENS (n=15) or a placebo (n=15) group. All participants completed 3 experimental sessions in a counterbalanced order separated by 2 days: (1) hypertonic saline infusion (5% NaCl); (2) isotonic saline infusion (0.9% NaCl); and (3) control. Each group received sensory electrical stimulation or placebo treatment for 20 minutes, respectively.Main Outcome Measures
Perceived pain was collected every 2 minutes using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) for 50 minutes and analyzed using a mixed model analysis of covariance with repeated measures. Gait analyses were performed at baseline, infusion, and treatment. Sagittal and frontal knee angles and internal net joint torque across the entire stance were analyzed using a functional data analysis approach.Results
Hypertonic saline infusion increased perceived pain (4/10cm on a VAS; P<.05) and altered right knee angle (more flexion and less abduction; P<.05) and internal net joint torque (less extension and greater abduction; P<.05) across various stance phases. TENS treatment reduced perceived pain and improved right sagittal gait abnormalities as compared with placebo treatment (P<.05).Conclusions
This pain model increases perceived pain and induces compensatory gait patterns in a way that indicates potential quadriceps weakness. However, TENS treatment effectively reduces perceived pain and restores pain-induced gait abnormalities in sagittal knee mechanics. 相似文献19.

Background
Patients have expressed concern about undergoing procedures involving trainees, even with direct attending physician supervision. Little literature has examined the effect of trainee involvement on patient outcomes.Objective
We aimed to evaluate the effect of trainee involvement on patient complications, immediate pain reduction, and fluoroscopic time for different fluoroscopic injection types.Design
Retrospective review.Setting
Four academic outpatient institutions with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)?accredited residency (physical medicine and rehabilitation, or anesthesiology) or fellowship (sports medicine or pain medicine) programs from 2000 to 2015.Patients
All patients receiving fluoroscopically guided hip (HI), sacroiliac joint (SIJI), transforaminal epidural (TFEI), and/or interlaminar epidural injections (ILEI, performed at only 1 institution).Methods
Outcome measures were examined based on the presence or absence of a trainee during the procedure.Main Outcome Measurements
The primary outcome was the number of immediate complications, with secondary outcomes being fluoroscopic time per injection (FTPI) and immediate numeric rating scale percentage improvement.Results
Trainees were involved in 67.0% of all injections (N = 7,833). Complication rates or improvements in numeric rating scale scores showed no significant differences with trainee involvement for any injection type (P > .05). Trainee involvement was associated with increased FTPI for ILEIs (18.2 ± 10.1 seconds with trainees versus 15.1 ± 8.5 seconds without trainees, P < .001), but not for HIs (P = .60) or SIJIs (P = .51). Trainee involvement with TFEIs was dependent on institution for outcome with respect to FTPI (P < .001), with 28.1 ± 17.9 seconds with trainees and 32.1 ± 22.1 seconds without trainees (P = 0.51).Conclusions
This large multicenter study of academic institutions demonstrates that trainee involvement in fluoroscopically guided injections does not affect immediate patient complications or pain improvement. Trainee involvement does not increase fluoroscopic time for most injections, although there is an institutional difference seen. This study supports the notion that appropriate trainee supervision likely does not compromise patient safety for fluoroscopically guided injections.Level of Evidence
