Rivera PA, Elliott TR, Berry JW, Grant JS. Problem-solving training for family caregivers of persons with traumatic brain injuries: a randomized controlled trial.
Objective
To test the hypothesis that a problem-solving training program would lower depression, health complaints, and burden, and increase well-being reported by community-residing family caregivers of persons with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).Design
Randomized controlled trial.Setting
General community.Participants
Of the 180 people who expressed interest in the study, 113 did not meet eligibility criteria. A consenting sample of family caregivers were randomized into a problem-solving training group (4 men, 29 women; average age, 51.3y) or an education-only control group (34 women; average age, 50.8y). Care recipients included 26 men and 7 women in the intervention group (average age, 36.5y) and 24 men and 10 women in the control group (average age, 37.2y).Intervention
Problem-solving training based on the D'Zurilla and Nezu social problem-solving model was provided to caregivers in the intervention group in 4 in-home sessions and 8 telephone follow-up calls over the course of their year-long participation. Control group participants received written educational materials and telephone calls at set intervals throughout their 12 months of participation.Main Outcome Measures
Caregiver depression, health complaints, well-being, and social problem-solving abilities.Results
Hierarchical linear models revealed caregivers receiving problem-solving training reported significant decreases in depression, health complaints, and in dysfunctional problem-solving styles over time. No effects were observed on caregiver well-being, burden, or constructive problem-solving styles.Conclusions
Problem-solving training provided in the home appears to be effective in alleviating distress and in decreasing dysfunctional problem-solving styles among family caregivers of persons with TBI. Methodologic limitations and the implications for interventions and future research are discussed. 相似文献2.

Caty GD, Theunissen E, Lejeune TM. Reproducibility of the ABILOCO questionnaire and comparison between self-reported and observed locomotion ability in adult patients with stroke.
Objectives
To test the reproducibility of the ABILOCO questionnaire. To validate the patient self-reporting method and the third-party assessment of the stroke patients' locomotion ability by a treating physical therapist.Design
Prospective study.Setting
University hospital.Participants
Adult stroke patients (N=28; 59±13y). The time since stroke ranged from 3 to 253 weeks.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
The ABILOCO questionnaire.Results
The results of patient self-assessment and the results of the third-party assessments by the physiotherapists at a 2-week interval were highly correlated (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]=.77 and ICC=.89, respectively). The results of the patient self-assessment and the third-party assessment by the physical therapist were both well correlated to assessment by an independent medical examiner who observed the patient during the 13 ABILOCO activities (ICC=.69 and ICC=.87, respectively).Conclusions
The use of ABILOCO as a self-reporting questionnaire is a valid and reproducible method for assessing locomotion ability in patients with stroke in daily clinical practice and research. 相似文献4.

Chang K-V, Wu S-H, Lin S-H, Shieh J-Y, Wang T-G, Chen W-S. Power Doppler presentation of shoulders with biceps disorder.
Objectives
To investigate the patterns of power Doppler signals on the long head of the biceps tendon at asymptomatic controls and shoulders with clinically diagnosed biceps disorder.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Hospital rehabilitation department.Participants
Asymptomatic adults (n=27) were included in the control group, and patients with unilateral biceps disorder (n=17) were recruited for the patient group. Basic gray color ultrasound screening was performed for rotator cuff tendons antecedently.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Three scan views were taken on the anterior shoulder by power Doppler sonography, including the transverse plane of the long head of the biceps tendon, and the longitudinal planes along the lateral and medial edge of the bicipital groove. We compared the patterns and the power Doppler signal area within and between both groups.Results
In shoulders of healthy controls and the asymptomatic side of patients, the power Doppler signal area of the longitudinal planes along the lateral edge of the bicipital groove was significantly larger than that along the medial edge of the bicipital groove. However, there was no significant difference in the painful side of patients. Moreover, the painful shoulders had a higher prevalence of power Doppler signal medial to the biceps tendon in the transverse plane, which paralleled bicipital peritendinous effusion and rotator cuff abnormalities.Conclusions
The power Doppler signal was more frequently observed medial to the biceps tendon in shoulders with clinically diagnosed biceps disorder. Whether shoulders with this specific power Doppler signal pattern benefit more from anti-inflammatory therapy needs further exploration. 相似文献5.

Caty GD, Arnould C, Stoquart GG, Thonnard J-L, Lejeune TM. ABILOCO: a Rasch-built 13-item questionnaire to assess locomotion ability in stroke patients.
Objective
To develop a questionnaire (ABILOCO), based on the Rasch measurement model, that can assess locomotion ability in adult stroke patients (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health activity domain).Design
Prospective study and questionnaire development.Setting
A faculty hospital.Participants
Adult stroke patients (N=100) (age, 64±15y). The time since stroke ranged from 1 to 260 weeks.Intervention
A preliminary questionnaire included 43 items representing a large sample of locomotion activities. This questionnaire was tested on the 100 stroke patients, and their responses were analyzed using the Rasch model (RUMM 2020 software) to select items that had an ordered rating scale and fitted a unidimensional model.Main Outcome Measure
The ABILOCO questionnaire.Results
The retained items resulted in a 13-item questionnaire, which includes a wide range of locomotion abilities well targeted to the sample population, leading to good reliability (R=.93). The item calibration was independent of age, sex, time since stroke, and affected side. The concurrent validity of ABILOCO was also investigated by comparing it with well-known, criterion standard scales (Functional Walking Category, Functional Ambulation Categories, item 12 of the FIM instrument evaluating walking ability) and the walking speed measured with the 10-meter walk test.Conclusions
The ABILOCO questionnaire presents good psychometric qualities to measure locomotion ability in adult stroke patients. Its range and measurement precision make it attractive for clinical use throughout the rehabilitation process and for clinical research. 相似文献6.

Valkeinen H, Alén M, Häkkinen A, Hannonen P, Kukkonen-Harjula K, Häkkinen K. Effects of concurrent strength and endurance training on physical fitness and symptoms in postmenopausal women with fibromyalgia: a randomized controlled trial.
Objective
To examine the effectiveness of concurrent strength and endurance training on muscle strength, aerobic and functional performance, and symptoms in postmenopausal women with fibromyalgia (FM).Design
Randomized controlled trial.Setting
Local gym and university research laboratory.Participants
Twenty-six women with FM.Intervention
Progressive and supervised 21-week concurrent strength and endurance training.Main Outcome Measures
Muscle strength of leg extensors, upper extremities, and trunk; peak oxygen uptake (Vo2peak), maximal workload (Wmax), and work time; 10-m walking and 10-step stair-climbing time and self-reported functional capacity (Health Assessment Questionnaire); and symptoms of FM.Results
After concurrent strength and endurance training, the groups differed significantly in Wmax (P=.001), work time (P=.001), concentric leg extension force (P=.043), walking (P=.001) and stair-climbing (P<.001) time, and fatigue (P=.038). The training led to an increase of 10% (P=.004) in Wmax and 13% (P=.004) in work time on the bicycle but no change in Vo2peak.Conclusions
Concurrent strength and endurance training in low to moderate volume improves the muscle strength of leg extensors, Wmax, work time, and functional performance as well as perceived symptoms, fatigue in particular. Concurrent strength and endurance training is beneficial to postmenopausal women with FM without adversities, but more extensive studies are needed to confirm the results. 相似文献7.

Meulenbelt HE, Geertzen JH, Jonkman MF, Dijkstra PU. Determinants of skin problems of the stump in lower-limb amputees.
Objective
To identify determinants of skin problems in lower-limb amputees.Design
Survey, using a questionnaire.Setting
Not applicable.Participants
Lower-limb amputees (N=2039) who either obtained their prosthesis through the Orthopedische Instrument Makerij (a group of orthopedic workshops in the Netherlands) or were a member of the (Dutch) National Society of Amputees (Landelijke Vereniging van Geamputeerden) were invited to participate. In total, 872 lower-limb amputees agreed to participate.Intervention
Amputees filled in the questionnaire to assess characteristics of the amputation and prosthesis, level of activity, stump and prosthesis hygiene, and skin problems. Stepwise backward logistic regression was performed to analyze determinants of skin problems.Main Outcome Measure
Skin problems in the month prior to completing the questionnaire.Results
A total of 816 questionnaires were received. Eventually 805 questionnaires were suitable for statistical analysis. Protective determinants were (in order of magnitude of association) older age, male sex, and amputation because of peripheral arterial disease and/or diabetes. Provocative determinants were (in order of magnitude of association) use of antibacterial soap, smoking, and washing the stump 4 times a week or more often. In total, 63% of the participants (95% confidence interval, 60%-67%) reported 1 or more skin problems.Conclusions
The provocative determinants identified in this study—use of antibacterial soap, smoking, and stump washing frequency—have to be studied for their clinical relevance. 相似文献8.

Objective
Physiotherapy breathlessness management is considered to be a major component in the treatment of breathlessness; however, evidence of the efficacy of this practice is lacking. This clinical study aimed to identify the immediate impact of breathlessness intervention on perceived breathlessness.Design
A pragmatic randomised controlled study.Setting
Collection of data took place over a 4-month period within an in-patient setting in a National Health Service acute teaching hospital.Participants
Thirty-one subjects participating in the study were recruited over 3 consecutive days and were randomly allocated to the intervention or control groups.Intervention
Physiotherapy breathlessness management including pursed lip and diaphragmatic breathing, ‘blow-as-you-go’, positioning and pacing techniques were taught to the individuals in the intervention group on an individual basis during a 45-minute training session.Main outcome measure
The Borg scale was the primary outcome measure. Measurements were taken before, during and after a stair climbing exercise.Results
Data were collected from 30 subjects (mean age 75.2 years) with a variety of cardiopulmonary conditions. The results suggested that the intervention group reported a reduction in breathlessness during stair climbing (P = 0.02) and after descending the stairs (P = 0.02) following a session of breathlessness management. No change was observed in the control group.Conclusion
The findings of the current investigation suggest that individuals with dyspnoea are able to incorporate techniques taught as part of a breathlessness management package of care, and that in the short term, these techniques have a positive effect on the perception of breathlessness. Future studies should look at the long-term benefit of these procedures. 相似文献10.

Ettlin T, Schuster C, Stoffel R, Brüderlin A, Kischka U. A distinct pattern of myofascial findings in patients after whiplash injury.
Objective
To identify objective clinical examinations for the diagnosis of whiplash syndrome, whereby we focused on trigger points.Design
A cross-sectional study with 1 measurement point.Setting
A quiet treatment room in a rehabilitation center.Participants
Patients (n=124) and healthy subjects (n=24) participated in this study. Among the patient group were patients with whiplash-associated disorders (n=47), fibromyalgia (n=21), nontraumatic chronic cervical syndrome (n=17), and endogenous depression (n=15).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
Each patient and control subject had a manual examination for trigger points of the semispinalis capitis, trapezius pars descendens, levator scapulae, scalenus medius, sternocleidomastoideus, and masseter muscles bilaterally.Results
Forty (85.1%) of the patients with whiplash had positive trigger points in the semispinalis capitis muscle. The patients with whiplash had a significantly higher prevalence of positive trigger points in the semispinalis capitis muscle than any of the control groups (P<.05). For the other examined muscles, the prevalence of trigger points in the patients with whiplash did not differ significantly from the patients with fibromyalgia or nontraumatic chronic cervical syndrome. It did differ from the patients with endogenous depression and the healthy controls.Conclusions
Patients with whiplash showed a distinct pattern of trigger point distribution that differed significantly from other patient groups and healthy subjects. The semispinalis capitis muscle was more frequently affected by trigger points in patients with whiplash, whereas other neck and shoulder muscles and the masseter muscle did not differentiate between patients with whiplash and patients with nontraumatic chronic cervical syndrome or fibromyalgia. 相似文献11.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to identify the perceptions, attitudes and beliefs of physiotherapists towards clients of non-English-speaking backgrounds.Design
Qualitative methods of semi-structured interviews and observations were used to conduct an exploratory study.Setting
Three hospitals in New South Wales, Australia.Participants
Six physiotherapists from the hospitals were interviewed and other physiotherapists were observed.Results
Some participants acted towards clients from cultural minorities based on stereotypes, whilst other participants with limited cultural knowledge incorrectly presumed that they were proficient at cross-cultural interactions. Cultural assimilation was favoured by one physiotherapist.Conclusion
Physiotherapists need to be aware of their own cultural biases, and be willing to undergo a change within themselves to interact effectively and provide quality care to clients from non-English-speaking backgrounds. 相似文献12.

Kingsley JD, McMillan V, Figueroa A. The effects of 12 weeks of resistance exercise training on disease severity and autonomic modulation at rest and after acute leg resistance exercise in women with fibromyalgia.
Objective
To determine the effects of 12 weeks of resistance exercise training (RET) on disease severity and autonomic modulation at rest and after acute leg resistance exercise in women with fibromyalgia (FM) and healthy controls (HCs).Design
Before-after trial.Setting
Testing and training occurred in a university setting.Participants
Women with FM (n=9; mean age ± SD, 42±5y) and HCs (n=15; mean age, 45±5y).Intervention
Both groups underwent testing before and after 12 weeks of whole-body RET consisting of 3 sets of 8 to 12 repetitions on 5 different exercises.Main Outcome Measures
Disease severity was assessed using the number of active tender points, myalgic score, and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ). Heart rate and autonomic modulation using power spectral analysis of heart rate variability (HRV) were measured at rest and 20 minutes after 5 sets of leg-press exercise.Results
There was no group-by-time interaction for any variable. Women with FM and HCs had similar increases in maximal strength (P<.05) after RET. Number of active tender points, myalgic score, and FIQ score were decreased (P<.05) after RET in women with FM. Heart rate and natural log (Ln) high frequency (LnHF) were recovered, whereas Ln low frequency (LnLF) and LnLF/LnHF ratio were increased (P<.05) 20 minutes after acute leg resistance exercise. There were no significant effects of RET on HRV at rest or postexercise.Conclusions
These findings indicate that cardiovagal modulation of heart rate recovers early after leg resistance exercise in women with FM and HCs. It is concluded that RET reduces the severity of FM, but it has no impact on autonomic modulation of heart rate. 相似文献14.

Holland AE, Hill CJ, Rasekaba T, Lee A, Naughton MT, McDonald CF. Updating the minimal important difference for six-minute walk distance in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Objective
To establish the minimal important difference (MID) for the six-minute walk distance (6MWD) in persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Design
Analysis of data from an observational study using distribution- and anchor-based methods to determine the MID in 6MWD.Setting
Outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation program at 2 teaching hospitals.Participants
Seventy-five patients with COPD (44 men) in a stable clinical state with mean age 70 years (SD 9y), forced expiratory volume in one second 52% (SD 21%) predicted and baseline walking distance 359 meters (SD 104m).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Participants completed the six-minute walk test before and after a 7-week pulmonary rehabilitation program. Participants and clinicians completed a global rating of change score while blinded to the change in 6MWD.Results
The mean change in 6MWD in participants who reported themselves to be unchanged was 17.7 meters, compared with 60.2 meters in those who reported small change and 78.4 meters in those who reported substantial change (P=.004). Anchor-based methods identified an MID of 25 meters (95% confidence interval 20-61m). There was excellent agreement with distribution-based methods (25.5-26.5m, κ=.95). A change in 6MWD of 14% compared with baseline also represented a clinically important effect; this threshold was less sensitive than for absolute change (sensitivity .70 vs .85).Conclusions
The MID for 6MWD in COPD is 25 meters. Absolute change in 6MWD is a more sensitive indicator than percentage change from baseline. These data support the use of 6MWD as a patient-important outcome in research and clinical practice. 相似文献16.
Cleland JA, Childs JD, Whitman JM. Psychometric properties of the Neck Disability Index and numeric pain rating scale in patients with mechanical neck pain.
Objective
To examine the psychometric properties including test-retest reliability, construct validity, and minimum levels of detectable and clinically important change for the Neck Disability Index (NDI) and the numeric rating scale (NRS) for pain in a cohort of patients with neck pain.Design
Single-group repeated-measures design.Setting
Outpatient physical therapy (PT) clinics.Participants
Patients (N=137) presenting to PT with a primary report of neck pain.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
All patients completed the NDI and the NRS at the baseline examination and at a follow-up. At the time of the follow-up, all patients also completed the global rating of change, which was used to dichotomize patients as improved or stable. Baseline and follow-up scores were used to determine the test-retest reliability, construct validity, and minimal levels of detectable and clinically important change for both the NDI and NRS.Results
Test-retest reliability was calculated using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (NDI ICC=.50; 95% confidence interval [CI], .25-.67; NRS ICC=.76; 95% CI, .51-.87). The area under the curve was .83 (95% CI, .75-.90) for the NDI score and .85 (95% CI, .78-.93) for the NRS score for determining between stable and improved patients. Thresholds for the minimum clinically important difference (MCID) for the NDI were 19-percentage points and 1.3 for the NRS.Conclusions
Both the NDI and NRS exhibit fair to moderate test-retest reliability in patients with mechanical neck pain. Both instruments also showed adequate responsiveness in this patient population. However, the MCID required to be certain that the change in scores has surpassed a level that could be contributed to measurement error for the NDI was twice that which has previously been reported. Therefore the ongoing analyses of the properties of the NDI in a patient population with neck pain are warranted. 相似文献17.

Moriello C, Mayo NE, Feldman L, Carli F. Validating the six-minute walk test as a measure of recovery after elective colon resection surgery.
Objective
To provide evidence for construct and longitudinal validity of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) as a measure of postsurgical recovery.Design
Data from a randomized clinical trial.Setting
A major teaching hospital in a Canadian urban city.Participants
Patients (N=63) undergoing elective colon resection.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Functional walking capacity was measured using the 6MWT at before surgery and at 3 and 6 weeks after surgery.Results
At 3 weeks, 26 (41%) patients recovered to baseline or greater on the 6MWT distance, and 37 (59%) were at baseline or better by 6 weeks postdischarge. At all time points, the 6MWT distance correlated with age, the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of surgical risk, albumin, the physical function subscale of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and the physical component summary score of the SF-36. Baseline 6MWT distance correlated with postoperative 6MWT recovery, and baseline SF-36 and ASA were associated with postoperative recovery. Patients with intraoperative complications had a clinically relevant lower 6MWT than those without complications at all time points.Conclusions
This study provides evidence for construct validity and sensitivity to change for the 6MWT as a measure of surgical recovery. 相似文献18.

Carnaby-Mann GD, Crary MA. McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program: a case-control study.
Objective
To compare the effectiveness of the McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program, a systematic exercise-based rehabilitation framework for swallowing remediation, with traditional swallowing therapy techniques paired with surface electromyography (sEMG) biofeedback.Design
Matched case-control study.Setting
University medical center.Participants
Dysphagic patients referred to an outpatient swallowing therapy service.Interventions
Cases were individually matched to 2 separate controls for age, sex, and primary medical diagnosis (N=24). Cases were patients with dysphagia who entered the McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program from September 2006 to October 2008. Controls entered a traditional swallowing therapy program augmented with sEMG biofeedback (traditional therapy with biofeedback group) from February 1994 to June 1999.Main Outcome Measures
The primary outcome was the proportion of patients who improved clinical swallowing ability and functional oral intake. The secondary outcomes were the presence (or not) of tube feeding, physiologic change on instrumental swallowing studies, and occurrence of aspiration on posttreatment assessment.Results
Case patients were more likely to demonstrate dysphagia recovery at posttreatment re-evaluation (adjusted odds ratio for dysphagia recovery=13.0 [95% CI, 1.27-63.89]; Mantel-Haenszel χ2=6.7; P=.009; relative risk reduction=.69). Dysphagia was reduced by 69% in the McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program treatment group compared with the traditional therapy with biofeedback group.Conclusions
Both approaches facilitated improved swallowing function. The McNeill Dysphagia Therapy Program resulted in superior outcomes compared with traditional dysphagia therapy supplemented with sEMG biofeedback. 相似文献19.
