Smith ÉM, Comiskey CM, Carroll ÁM. A study of bone mineral density in adults with disability.
Objectives
To examine prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) among adults with disability, using World Health Organization diagnostic categories.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
National Rehabilitation Hospital, Dublin, Ireland.Participants
Patients (N=255; 178 men, 77 women) who were disabled for at least 3 months because of acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, other neurologic condition, or lower-limb amputation.Interventions
None.Main Outcome Measures
Laboratory investigations including intact parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD), and sex hormones; and BMD of lumbar spine and at least 1 hip, measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry and expressed as T scores and z scores.Results
Mean age ± SD of participants was 48.7±15.6 years. Vitamin D deficiency, 25-OHD level 50nmol/L or less, occurred in 154 (62.9%); insufficiency, a level between 51 and 72nmol/L, occurred in 36 (14.7%). Based on T scores, 108 participants (42.4%) had osteopenia, and 60 (23.5%) had osteoporosis. A z score of −1 or less but more than −2 occurred in 76 (29.8%); a further 52 (20.4%) had a z score of −2 or less. On multiple linear regression analysis, ambulatory status and duration of disability were independent predictors of BMD at neck of femur (β=.152, P=.007; β=−.191, P=.001, respectively) and total proximal femur (β=.170, P=.001; β=−.216, P<.001, respectively).Conclusions
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are very common in adults with disability participating in rehabilitation, compared with the general young adult population. Duration since onset of disability and mobility status are independent predictors of BMD at the hip. Bone health monitoring should form part of the long-term follow-up in adults with newly acquired disabilities. 相似文献2.

Lentz TA, Sutton Z, Greenberg S, Bishop MD. Pain-related fear contributes to self-reported disability in patients with foot and ankle pathology.
Objective
To determine the unique influence of pain-related fear of movement on foot and ankle disability, after accounting for pain, demographic, and physical impairment variables.Design
Cross-sectional study using retrospective chart review.Setting
Outpatient rehabilitation clinic.Participants
Referred sample of subjects with foot- and ankle-related disability (N=85, 40 men; mean age, 33y; range, 16-77y).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS), Shortened Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11).Results
Hierarchical regression analysis determined the proportions of explained variance in disability (LEFS). Demographic variables were entered into the model first, followed by pain intensity and range-of-motion (ROM) deficit, and finally, TSK-11. Demographics collectively contributed 9% (P=.015) of the variance in disability scores. Pain intensity and overall ROM deficit contributed an additional 11% (P<.001) of the variance, and TSK-11 scores contributed an additional 14% (P<.001). In the overall model, age (β=−.29, P=.004), chronicity of symptoms (β=.23, P=.024), ROM deficit (β=−.28, P=.003), and TSK-11 (β=−.41, P<.001) explained 34% of the variance in the LEFS score (P<.001).Conclusions
Age, chronicity of symptoms, ROM deficit, and TSK-11 scores all significantly contributed to baseline foot and ankle self-reported disability. Pain-related fear of movement was the strongest single contributor to disability in this group of patients. 相似文献3.

Basford JR, Oh JK, Allison TG, Sheffield CG, Manahan BG, Hodge DO, Tajik AJ, Rodeheffer RJ, Tei C. Safety, acceptance and physiologic effects of sauna bathing in people with chronic heart failure: a pilot report.
Objectives
To perform a pilot study and make a preliminary assessment of the safety and acceptance of supervised sauna bathing at moderate temperatures in people with chronic heart failure (CHF). Secondary measures included its impact on exercise tolerance and neuroendocrine concentrations.Design
Randomized, controlled, cross-over trial.Setting
Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic.Participants
Six men and 3 women (age, 62-87y) with New York Heart Association Class III and IV CHF.Interventions
Subjects were randomized into 2 groups and told to maintain their normal medication and activity regimens. One group then began a 3-times-a-week, 4-week sauna bathing program at 60±1°C while the other continued with their usual activities and medications. Assignments were then reversed. Sessions were 15 minutes in length but were prolonged an additional 5 minutes for oral temperature increases less than 1.0°C.Main Outcome Measures
Patient acceptance, Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLWHFQ) scores; treadmill exercise duration and plasma adrenaline, noradrenalin, aldosterone, atrial naturectic factor, adrenomedulin, and endothelin.Results
Sauna bathing was well tolerated and no adverse effects were reported. Improvements in MLWHFQ scores and treadmill endurance did not achieve statistical significance on a between-group basis but were more marked after the sauna than during the control phase. Neuroendocrine concentrations showed no clear effect of sauna treatment with a between-group statistically significant difference (P=.049) found only in the case of noradrenalin's 24% decrease.Conclusions
Sauna bathing under the moderate and supervised conditions of this study appears to be well tolerated and may be safe for people with CHF. More research is needed to further evaluate the safety and potential benefits of this approach. 相似文献4.

Morris DM, Taub E, Macrina DM, Cook EW, Geiger BF. A method for standardizing procedures in rehabilitation: use in the Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation multisite randomized controlled trial.
Objective
An enduring problem in the field of rehabilitation has been the lack of standardization in the protocols of treatments and tests. To develop a process evaluation method to standardize the administration of rehabilitation procedures used in the Extremity Constraint Induced Therapy Evaluation (EXCITE) Trial, a randomized controlled trial of upper-extremity constraint-induced therapy implemented across 7 sites.Design
Process evaluation.Setting
Research laboratory.Participants
Convenience sample or research personnel.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Checklist scoring sheets were developed to rate videotapes using systematic application of prescribed steps for each of 5 procedures across 3 time periods. Time periods were immediately after training, and 1 and 2 years later. A performance score of at least 90% was required before individual research personnel were allowed to participate in the trial.Results
Overall performance scores ranged from 85.8% to 95% of performance items correctly executed. There was a significant improvement in standard performance of procedures between the first time period (immediately after training) and each of the subsequent time periods for all but 1 procedure. The scoring of standardized performance when carried out with routine participant testing and training did not differ significantly from scoring from videotaped sessions submitted for standardization rating for 2 of the procedures, suggesting adequate validity of scoring from videotape.Conclusions
The present method was successful in assessing protocol fidelity for the EXCITE research personnel and represents 1 means of addressing the longstanding problem in rehabilitation of the lack of standardization in administering different treatments and tests. 相似文献5.
Objectives
To assess the extent to which perceived pain and psychological factors explain levels of disability and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients scheduled for lumbar fusion surgery, and to test the hypothesis that relationships between pain intensity, mental health, fear of movement/(re)injury, disability and HRQOL are mediated by cognitive beliefs and appraisals.Design
Cross-sectional, correlation study.Setting
Orthopaedic outpatient setting in a tertiary hospital.Participants
One hundred and seven chronic back pain patients scheduled for lumbar fusion surgery.Measures
Visual analogue scale for pain intensity, Short Form 36 mental health subscale, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, Back Beliefs Questionnaire, Self-efficacy Scale, Coping Strategy Questionnaire, Oswestry Disability Index and European Quality of Life Questionnaire.Results
The group effect of multiple mediators significantly influenced the relationships between pain intensity and mental health, fear of movement/(re)injury, functional disability and HRQOL. Pain catastrophising significantly mediated the relationship between pain intensity and mental health, control over pain significantly mediated the relationship between mental health and functional disability, self-efficacy and pain outcome expectancy significantly mediated the relationship between mental health and HRQOL, and self-efficacy also significantly mediated the relationship between pain intensity, fear of movement/(re)jury and functional disability. The model explained 28, 30, 52 and 42% of the variation in mental health, fear of movement/(re)injury, functional disability and HRQOL, respectively.Conclusions
This study highlights the strong influence and mediation roles of psychological factors on pain, mental health, fear of movement/(re)injury, disability and HRQOL in patients scheduled for lumber fusion. Future research should focus on screening as well as pre- and post-operative interventions based on these psychological factors for the potential improvement of lumber fusion surgery outcomes. 相似文献6.

Lew HL, Lee EH, Castaneda A, Klima R, Date E. Therapeutic use of botulinum toxin type A in treating neck and upper-back pain of myofascial origin: a pilot study.
Objective
To determine the efficacy of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) in treating neck and upper-back pain of myofascial origin.Design
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study.Setting
Outpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic of a university-affiliated tertiary hospital.Participants
A total of 29 subjects enrolled from among 45 screened patients. No subject withdrawal due to serious adverse events occurred.Intervention
Subjects were evaluated at baseline, received a 1-time injection of either BTX-A (treatment group) or saline (control group), and were followed up at 2 weeks and at months 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.Main Outcome Measures
Visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the Medical Outcome Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36).Results
Improvements in the VAS and NDI scores were seen in the treatment group but were not significant when compared with the controls. Statistically significant improvements for the treatment group were seen in the SF-36 bodily pain (at months 2 and 4) and mental health (at month 1) scales but not in the other scales, nor in the summary measures. No serious adverse events were reported.Conclusions
Trends toward improvements in VAS and NDI scores of the BTX-A group are encouraging, but they were possibly due to a placebo effect and were not statistically significant. The BTX-A subjects, at certain time points, showed statistically significant improvements in the bodily pain and mental health scales of the SF-36 compared with controls. Our study had limited power and population base, but the results could be used to properly power follow-up studies to further investigate this topic. 相似文献7.
Lee CE, Browell LM, Jones DL. Measuring health in patients with cervical and lumbosacral spinal disorders: is the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey a valid alternative for the 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey?
Objectives
To determine the convergent validity of the 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey, version 2 (SF-12v2), with 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey, version 2 (SF-36v2), in patients with spinal disorders, and to determine other key factors that might further explain the variances between the 2 surveys.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Orthopedic ambulatory care.Participants
Eligible participants (N=98; 24 with cervical, 74 with lumbosacral disorders) who were aged 18 years and older, scheduled to undergo spinal surgery, and completed the SF-36v2.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
SF-36v2 and SF-12v2 (extracted from the SF-36v2).Results
The 2 summary scores, physical and mental component scores (r range, .88-.97), and most of the scale scores (r range, .81-.99) correlated strongly between the SF-12v2 and SF-36v2, except for the general health score (cervical group, r=.69; lumbosacral group, r=.76). Stepwise linear regression analyses showed the SF-12v2 general health scores (cervical: β=.61, P<.001; lumbosacral: β=.68, P<.001) and the level of comorbidities (cervical: β=−.37, P=.014; lumbosacral: β=−.18, P=.039) were significant predictors of the SF-36v2 general health score in both groups, whereas age (β=.32, P<.001) and smoking history (β=−.22, P=.005) were additional predictors in the lumbosacral group.Conclusions
SF-12v2 is a practical and valid alternative for the SF-36v2 in measuring health of patients with cervical or lumbosacral spinal disorders. The validity of the SF-12v2 general health score interpretation is further improved when the level of comorbidities, age, and smoking history are taken into consideration. 相似文献8.
Objectives
To identify the extent to which an adapted pain management programme is successful in modifying pain beliefs, psychological distress, locus of control and self-efficacy using both qualitative and quantitative approaches.Design
Prospective, observational study with questionnaires at baseline and following completion of a pain management programme.Setting
Outpatient pain management programme in a district general hospital.Participants
Fifteen participants experiencing chronic pain, referred from pain and rheumatology clinics within the hospital.Outcome measures
Pain beliefs, self-efficacy, locus of control and psychological distress.Results
Wilcoxon signed ranks tests demonstrated significant improvements in pain beliefs, self-efficacy and psychological distress. However, changes in locus of control were not found to be significant. The qualitative data supported these findings.Conclusions
The pilot study suggested that the pain management programme successfully modified three out of four of the psychosocial risk factors (Yellow Flags) in a population with established pain and disability. A larger scale project replicating this pilot study including a comparison group, and further research to assess the extent to which modifying Yellow Flags generalises to affect quality of life and disability, are underway. 相似文献9.
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10.

Chang C-L, Munin MC, Skidmore ER, Niyonkuru C, Huber LM, Weber DJ. Effect of baseline spastic hemiparesis on recovery of upper-limb function following botulinum toxin type A injections and postinjection therapy.
Objective
To determine whether baseline hand spastic hemiparesis assessed by the Chedoke-McMaster Assessment influences functional improvement after botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) injections and postinjection therapy.Design
Prospective cohort study.Setting
Outpatient spasticity clinic.Participants
Participants (N=14) with spastic hemiparesis divided into 2 groups: Chedoke-McMaster Assessment Hand-Higher Function (stage≥4, n=5) and Chedoke-McMaster Assessment Hand-Lower Function (stage=2 or 3, n=9).Interventions
Upper-limb BTX-A injections followed by 6 weeks of postinjection therapy.Main Outcome Measures
Primary outcomes were Motor Activity Log-28 and Motor Activity Log items. Secondary outcomes were Action Research Arm Test (ARAT), Motor Activity Log-Self-Report, and Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS). Measures were assessed at baseline (preinjection), 6 weeks, 9 weeks, and 12 weeks postinjection.Results
Primary and secondary outcomes improved significantly over time in both groups. Although no significant differences in ARAT or MAS change scores were noted between groups, Chedoke-McMaster Assessment Hand-Higher Function group demonstrated greater change on Motor Activity Log-28 (P=.013) from baseline to 6 weeks and Motor Activity Log items (P=.006) from baseline to 12 weeks compared to Chedoke-McMaster Assessment Hand-Lower Function group.Conclusions
BTX-A injections and postinjection therapy improved hand function and reduced spasticity for both Chedoke-McMaster Assessment Hand-Higher Function and Chedoke-McMaster Assessment Hand-Lower Function groups. Clinicians should expect to see larger gains for persons with less baseline impairment. 相似文献11.

Chang WH, Im SH, Ryu JA, Lee SC, Kim JS. The effects of scapulothoracic bursa injections in patients with scapular pain: a pilot study.
Objective
To assess the effects of steroid plus hyaluronate injections for scapulothoracic bursitis in patients with scapular pain.Design
Prospective open-label unicenter trial with a 3-month follow-up.Setting
University rehabilitation hospital.Participants
Twenty-two cases of suspected scapulothoracic bursitis.Intervention
Injections into scapulothoracic bursa were performed with steroid plus hyaluronate. Injections were administered once a week for 3 weeks.Main Outcome Measures
Visual analog scale (VAS), Rubin scale, adverse events, and injection-associated complications.Results
Mean outcome scores at 3-month follow-up visits showed significant improvements versus baseline (mean VAS increased from 7.8 to 2.2) (P<.05). Furthermore, mean VAS scores at 1, 2, and 3 weeks after treatment commencement showed significant improvements versus baseline (P<.05). No serious complication occurred during the study.Conclusions
Scapulothoracic bursitis should be considered when treating patients with perimarginal scapular pain or subscapular pain. Our findings show that steroid plus hyaluronate injections into the scapulothoracic bursa provide an effective means of treating patients with scapulothoracic bursitis. 相似文献12.

Anton HA, Miller WC, Townson AF. Measuring fatigue in persons with spinal cord injury.
Objective
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI).Design
A 2-week methodologic study was conducted to assess the internal consistency, reliability, and construct validity of the FSS.Setting
A tertiary spinal cord rehabilitation facility.Participants
Forty-eight community-living subjects at least 1 year post-SCI with American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) grade A or B SCI and no medical conditions causing fatigue. The sample was predominantly male (n=31 [65%]) with tetraplegia (n=26 [54%]) and ASIA grade A injuries (n=30 [63%]). The average duration since injury was 14.9 years.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The ASIA Impairment Scale, the FSS, a visual analog scale for fatigue (VAS-F), the vitality scale of the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).Results
Mean FSS score ± standard deviation at baseline was 4.4±1.4, with 54% (n=26) scoring greater than 4. The internal consistency of the FSS was excellent (Cronbach α=.89). Two-week test-retest reliability was adequate (intraclass correlation coefficient, .84; 95% confidence interval, .74-.90). The magnitude of the relationship was as hypothesized for the VAS-F (r=.67) and CES-D (r=.58) and lower than hypothesized for the vitality subscore (r=−.48) of the SF-36.Conclusions
The FSS has acceptable reliability with regard to internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and validity in persons with motor complete SCI. 相似文献14.

Cross sectional within-subject design.Setting
Occupational health service for the construction industry.Participants
Male construction workers (N=72) on 6-week sick leave as a result of MSDs.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
After being assessed on 5 EK FCE lifting tests, participants were asked to complete the Von Korff questionnaire on pain intensity and disability as a result of MSDs and the instrument for disability risk assessing the risk for work disability. Discriminative validity was evaluated by comparing the results of the EK FCE lifting test scores between the 2 groups of participants based on the instrument for disability risk scores (high risk for work disability compared with low risk for work disability). Convergent validity was evaluated by assessing the associations between the results of the EK FCE lifting tests and Von Korff questionnaire self-reported pain intensity and disability as a result of MSDs.Results
The hypothesized differences between both instrument for disability risk groups on the 5 EK FCE lifting tests were found in the expected direction but were not statistically significant (1 test exhibited a trend). Pearson correlation coefficients showed a poor convergent validity between the scores of the Von Korff questionnaire and the EK FCE lifting tests (-.29≤r≤.05).Conclusions
Poor construct validity of the 5 EK lifting tests was found: discriminative validity was not statistically established, and convergent validity with self-reported pain intensity and disability was poor. 相似文献15.

de Morton NA, Keating JL, Davidson M. Rasch analysis of the Barthel Index in the assessment of hospitalized older patients after admission for an acute medical condition.
Objective
To investigate the validity of item score summation for the original and modified versions of the Barthel Index.Design
Rasch analysis of Barthel Index data.Setting
General medical wards at 2 acute care hospitals in Australia.Participants
Consecutive older medical patients (N=396).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Activity limitation was assessed by using the Barthel Index at hospital admission and discharge. At 1 hospital site, the original Barthel Index was used, and at the other hospital site the Modified Barthel Index (MBI) was used.Results
More than half of the items showed misfit to the Rasch model for both versions of the Barthel Index. The continence items appear to measure a different construct to the other items. After the removal of the continence items, data for the remaining items still did not fit the Rasch model. Neither the original nor the MBI are unidimensional scales. An exception to this occurred when the original Barthel Index was rescored and only then for discharge and not for admission Barthel Index data.Conclusions
Because clinicians do not typically rescore outcomes obtained by using the Barthel Index, these findings, combined with unacceptable ceiling effects, render the Barthel Index an assessment tool with limited validity for measuring and monitoring the health of older medical patients. 相似文献16.

Background
Bowel dysfunction affects quality of life (QoL) of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Existing QoL measures specific to MS disease contain little or no assessment of bowel dysfunction. The Quality of Life Scoring Tool Relating to Bowel Management (QoL-BM) developed for spinal cord injured patients may be relevant for MS patients.Objective
Determine reliability and validity of the QoL-BM scale with MS patients.Method
The North American Research Committee on Multiple Sclerosis randomly selected 700 MS patients from their registry resulting in 502 respondents who completed the QoL-BM scale, Bowel Function Questionnaire for MS persons (Constipation, Fecal Incontinence, both Constipation and Fecal Incontinence), Patient Derived Disease Steps (mild, moderate, severe disability), MS classification (Relapsing-Remitting MS, Secondary Progressive MS), and demographic sheet.Results
Factor analysis of the QoL-BM scale resulted in two subscales: Management and Relationships. Reliability coefficients for total and subscales were: .90, .86, and .83, respectively. Known-group validity was demonstrated as QoL-BM total scale and subscale scores differed significantly according to type of bowel dysfunction and disability level.Conclusion
The QoL-BM scale provides information on current bowel status and its impact on QoL for MS patients. 相似文献17.
Objective
To analyze the relative validity of the 17-item Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI) using graded response item response theory analysis (G-IRT).Design
The design of the study involved a survey instrument validation.Participants/Patients
A total of 682 respondents with a history of foot pain in the last month.Methods
Factor analysis and G-IRT were used to analyze the dimensionality and relative validity of each scale item.Results
Exploratory factor analysis yielded a two-factor solution. G-IRT resulted in the removal of one of the original 17 items from the MFPDI. Analyses revealed that six of the nine foot and ankle function items of the MFPDI demonstrated excellent discrimination. For the seven pain and appearance items, only one item demonstrated excellent discrimination, the remaining demonstrated moderate discrimination.Conclusion
G-IRT was successful in outlining selected items representative of disability and pain and appearance. By reducing the MFPDI to 16 items, the Modified MFPDI is multidimensional and is associated with the underlying construct of activity related foot and ankle disability and pain and appearance. By reducing the MFPDI to 16 items, a clinician can be confident that the outcome instrument accurately represents the latent construct of disability and pain and appearance. 相似文献18.

Walker ML, Ringleb SI, Maihafer GC, Walker R, Crouch JR, Van Lunen B, Morrison S. Virtual reality-enhanced partial body weight-supported treadmill training poststroke: feasibility and effectiveness in 6 subjects.
Objective
To determine whether the use of a low-cost virtual reality (VR) system used in conjunction with partial body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) was feasible and effective in improving the walking and balance abilities of patients poststroke.Design
A before-after comparison of a single group with BWSTT intervention.Setting
University research laboratory.Participants
A convenience sample of 7 adults who were within 1 year poststroke and who had completed traditional rehabilitation but still exhibited gait deficits. Six participants completed the study.Intervention
Twelve treatment sessions of BWSTT with VR. The VR system generated a virtual environment that showed on a television screen in front of the treadmill to give participants the sensation of walking down a city street. A head-mounted position sensor provided postural feedback.Main Outcome Measures
Functional Gait Assessment (FGA) score, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, and overground walking speed.Results
One subject dropped out of the study. All other participants made significant improvements in their ability to walk. FGA scores increased from mean of 13.8 to 18. BBS scores increased from mean of 43.8 to 48.8, although a ceiling effect was seen for this test. Overground walking speed increased from mean of .49m/s to .68m/s.Conclusions
A low-cost VR system combined with BWSTT is feasible for improved gait and balance of patients poststroke. 相似文献19.

Mintken PE, Cleland JA, Whitman JM, George SZ. Psychometric properties of the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia in patients with shoulder pain.
Objective
To investigate the reliability and validity of 2 commonly used measures of pain related fear in patients with shoulder pain.Design
A preplanned secondary analysis of a prospective single-arm trial involving a repeated-measures design.Setting
Outpatient physical therapy clinics.Participants
Patients (N=80) with a primary report of shoulder pain.Intervention
All patients completed the outcome measures at baseline and at follow-up.Main Outcome Measures
Patients completed a modified Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), the 11-item version of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) at baseline and at a 48-hour follow-up. Patients were dichotomized as improved or stable at follow-up based on the Global Rating of Change.Results
Factor analysis indicated 3 stable factors for the FABQ and 1 stable factor for the TSK-11. Shoulder specific scoring for the FABQ and TSK-11 were used in subsequent analyses. Test-retest reliability intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was substantial for the FABQ and the TSK-11. The FABQ correlated significantly with SPADI pain and disability scores, while the TSK-11 correlated significantly only with SPADI pain scores. The shoulder-specific FABQ-W (work beliefs subscale) was a better than chance predictor of missing days of work during the 48-hour study period.Conclusions
The modified FABQ and TSK-11 may be appropriate for use in patients with shoulder pain. Shoulder-specific scoring of these measures resulted in substantial test-retest reliability, and the FABQ correlated with the SPADI for pain and disability. The FABQ also showed potential for prediction of short-term work loss in this sample. Pain-related fear may be an important variable in patients with shoulder pain and merits future consideration in longitudinal studies. 相似文献20.
