Objective
To study the effect of electronic medical record (EMR) implementation on preventive services covered by Ontario’s pay-for-performance program.Design
Prospective double-cohort study.Participants
Twenty-seven community-based family physicians.Setting
Toronto, Ont.Intervention
Eighteen physicians implemented EMRs, while 9 physicians continued to use paper records.Main outcome measure
Provision of 4 preventive services affected by pay-for-performance incentives (Papanicolaou tests, screening mammograms, fecal occult blood testing, and influenza vaccinations) in the first 2 years of EMR implementation.Results
After adjustment, combined preventive services for the EMR group increased by 0.7%, a smaller increase than that seen in the non-EMR group (P = .55, 95% confidence interval −2.8 to 3.9).Conclusion
When compared with paper records, EMR implementation had no significant effect on the provision of the 4 preventive services studied. 相似文献2.

Background
Spasticity is a common sequela of upper motor neuron pathology, such as cerebrovascular diseases and cerebral palsy. Intervention for spasticity of the ankle plantarflexors in physical therapy may include tone-inhibiting casting and/or orthoses for the ankle and foot. However, the physiological mechanism of tone reduction by such orthoses remains unclarified.Objective
To investigate the electrophysiologic effects of tone-inhibiting insoles in stroke subjects with hemiparesis by measuring changes in reciprocal Ia inhibition (RI) in the ankle plantarflexor.Design
An interventional before–after study.Setting
Acute stroke unit or ambulatory rehabilitation clinic of a university hospital in Japan.Participants
Ten subjects (47-84 years) with hemiparesis and 10 healthy male control subjects (31-59 years) were recruited.Methods
RI of the spastic soleus in response to the electrical stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve was evaluated by stimulus-locked averaging of rectified electromyography (EMG) of the soleus while subjects were standing.Main Outcome Measurements
The magnitude of RI, defined as the ratio of the lowest to the baseline amplitude of the rectified EMG at approximately 40 milliseconds after stimulation, was measured while subjects were standing with and without the tone-inhibiting insole on the hemiparesis side.Results
Enhancement of EMG reduction with the tone-inhibiting insole was significant (P < .05) in the subjects with hemiparesis, whereas no significant changes were found in controls.Conclusion
Tone-inhibiting insoles enhanced RI of the soleus in subjects after stroke, which might enhance standing stability by reducing unfavorable ankle plantarflexion tone.Level of Evidence

Background
Critical illness polyneuromyopathy (CIPNM) increasingly is recognized as a source of disability in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The prevalence and impact of CIPNM on patients in the rehabilitation setting has not been established.Objectives
To determine the proportion of at-risk rehabilitation inpatients with evidence of CIPNM and the functional sequelae of this disorder.Design
Prospective observational study.Setting
Tertiary academic rehabilitation hospital.Patients
Rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission for at least 72 hours.Methods
Electrodiagnostic studies were performed to evaluate for axonal neuropathy and/or myopathy in at least one upper and one lower limb.Main Outcome Measurements
The primary outcome was prevalence of CIPNM. Secondary outcomes included Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores, rehabilitation length of stay (RLOS), and discharge disposition.Results
A total of 33 participants were enrolled; 70% had evidence of CIPNM. Admission FIM score, discharge FIM, FIM gain, and FIM efficiency were 64.1, 89.9, 25.5, and 0.31 in those with CIPNM versus 78.4, 94.6, 16.1, and 0.33 in those without CIPNM, respectively. Average RLOS was 123 days versus 76 days and discharge to home was 57% versus 90% in the CIPNM and non-CIPNM groups, respectively.Conclusions
CIPNM is very common in rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission. It was associated with a lower functional status at rehabilitation admission, but functional improvement was at a similar rate to those without CIPNM. Longer RLOS stay may be required to achieve the same functional level.Level of Evidence

Objectives
To evaluate (1) the trajectory of resilience during the first year after a moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI); (2) factors associated with resilience at 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury; and (3) changing relationships over time between resilience and other factors.Design
Longitudinal analysis of an observational cohort.Setting
Five inpatient rehabilitation centers.Participants
Patients with TBI (N=195) enrolled in the resilience module of the TBI Model Systems study with data collected at 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale.Results
Initially, resilience levels appeared to be stable during the first year postinjury. Individual growth curve models were used to examine resilience over time in relation to demographic, psychosocial, and injury characteristics. After adjusting for these characteristics, resilience actually declined over time. Higher levels of resilience were related to nonminority status, absence of preinjury substance abuse, lower anxiety and disability level, and greater life satisfaction.Conclusions
Resilience is a construct that is relevant to understanding brain injury outcomes and has potential value in planning clinical interventions. 相似文献5.
Background
Depression and traumatic brain injury (TBI) substantially contribute to the U.S. health care burden. Depression is a known risk factor for prolonged recovery after TBI. However, the effect of depression treatment on health care utilization has yet to be studied.Objective
To examine whether an association exists between pharmacologic treatment of depression at the time of mild or concussive TBI and the number of subsequent clinician visits for persistent injury-related symptoms.Design
Retrospective medical record review.Setting
Tertiary care medical center.Participants
A total of 120 patients (mean age 45.6 years) with a history of depression who subsequently experienced a mild or concussive TBI were included.Methods
Individuals were identified with co-occurring diagnoses of depression and mild or concussive TBI by retrospective electronic medical record review. The diagnosis of depression must have preceded the diagnosis of TBI.Main Outcome
The number of clinician visits for postinjury symptoms were counted at 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury.Results
Clinician visits for persistent injury-related symptoms were significantly fewer at all 3 time points for the group treated for depression at time of injury.Conclusions
Depressed individuals who were pharmacologically treated for depression at the time of TBI had significantly fewer clinician visits for persistent postinjury symptoms than those not pharmacologically treated for depression at the time of injury. Routine depression screening in patients with a high risk for TBI may identify a mood disorder that could contribute to persistent symptoms if left untreated, with its effective management potentially reducing health-related costs.Level of Evidence

Background
Lumbar spondylolysis is a defect in the pars interarticularis that is common in young athletes; the stress distribution at the pars interarticularis is the highest in extension and rotation movements. The paraspinal muscles play an important role in stabilization of the lumbar spine; however, no study has assessed the properties of paraspinal muscles in athletes with lumbar spondylolysis.Objective
To evaluate the properties of paraspinal muscles in athletes with lumbar spondylolysis.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Laboratory.Participants
Six high school baseball players with terminal-stage lumbar spondylolysis and 11 high school baseball players without organic lumbar lesions of similar anthropometric characteristics.Methods
All subjects performed the unsupported trunk holding test combined with surface electromyographic (EMG) power spectral analysis until exhaustion. The results of EMG power spectral analysis were compared between the spondylolysis and control groups.Main Outcome Measurements
The median frequency (MF) was computed from the raw EMG signal of the erector spinae and multifidus during trunk holding test using fast Fourier transform spectrum analysis. The initial MF and MF slope were calculated.Results
No significant differences in endurance time were found between the spondylolysis and control groups. The initial MF and the MF slopes of the erector spinae and multifidus were significantly lower in the spondylolysis group than in the control group.Conclusions
The results suggest lower fast-twitch motor unit recruitment in the erector spinae and multifidus of high school baseball players with terminal-stage lumbar spondylolysis compared with the control.Level of Evidence

Background
Ultrasound is rarely used for guiding lumbosacral epidural steroid injections due to its technical limitations. For example, sonographic imaging lacks the ability to confirm epidural spread and identify vascular uptake. The perceived risk that these limitations pose to human subjects has precluded any large scale clinical trials to date.Objective
To compare the accuracy of ultrasound versus fluoroscopic guidance for first sacral transforaminal epidural injections.Design
Cadaveric comparative study using dichotomous outcomes.Setting
A fluoroscopy suite and anatomic laboratory at an academic medical center.Subjects
Four unembalmed adult human cadavers with no history of spinal surgery.Methods
Eight sites were injected twice by one interventionalist, using fluoroscopic and ultrasound guidance. In the fluoroscopy arm, contrast spread was assessed using computed tomography. In the ultrasound arm, latex spread was assessed using gross anatomic dissection. Any visible evidence of epidural spread constituted a positive result.Main Outcome Measurements
Comparison of the success of obtaining epidural contrast flow was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measures included average duration, rate of intravascular uptake, and quantity of intravascular uptake.Results
All injections performed in both the ultrasound arm and the fluoroscopy arm had positive epidural spread. The average duration was 3.03 minutes with fluoroscopy and 4.76 minutes with ultrasound. The rate of intravascular uptake was 37.5% with fluoroscopy and 50% with ultrasound. Within the ultrasound arm, greater intravascular spread and duration variability were recorded.Conclusion
Although ultrasonography can provide reliable image guidance for cannulating the first sacral foramen in cadavers, it would have limited clinical utility due to its inability to visualize relevant neurovascular structures deep to the osseus roof and exclude intravascular uptake.Level of Evidence

Objective
To develop self-reported short forms for the Life Impact Burn Recovery Evaluation (LIBRE) Profile.Design
Short forms based on the item parameters of discrimination and average difficulty.Setting
A support network for burn survivors, peer support networks, social media, and mailings.Participants
Burn survivors (N=601) older than 18 years.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The LIBRE Profile.Results
Ten-item short forms were developed to cover the 6 LIBRE Profile scales: Relationships with Family & Friends, Social Interactions, Social Activities, Work & Employment, Romantic Relationships, and Sexual Relationships. Ceiling effects were ≤15% for all scales; floor effects were <1% for all scales. The marginal reliability of the short forms ranged from .85 to .89.Conclusions
The LIBRE Profile-Short Forms demonstrated credible psychometric properties. The short form version provides a viable alternative to administering the LIBRE Profile when resources do not allow computer or Internet access. The full item bank, computerized adaptive test, and short forms are all scored along the same metric, and therefore scores are comparable regardless of the mode of administration. 相似文献10.

Objective
To describe the incidence of overuse musculoskeletal injuries in service members with combat-related lower limb amputation.Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
Military treatment facilities.Participants
Service members with deployment-related lower limb injury (N=791): 496 with a major lower limb amputation and 295 with a mild lower limb injury.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The outcomes of interest were clinical diagnosis codes (International Classification of Diseases–9th Revision) associated with musculoskeletal overuse injuries of the lumbar spine, upper limb, and lower limb regions 1 year before and 1 year after injury.Results
The overall incidence of developing at least 1 musculoskeletal overuse injury within the first year after lower limb amputation was between 59% and 68%. Service members with unilateral lower limb amputation were almost twice as likely to develop an overuse lower or upper limb injury than those with mild combat-related injury. Additionally, service members with bilateral lower limb amputation were more than twice as likely to develop a lumbar spine injury and 4 times more likely to develop an upper limb overuse injury within the first year after amputation than those with mild combat-related injury.Conclusions
Incidence of secondary overuse musculoskeletal injury is elevated in service members with lower limb amputation and warrants focused research efforts toward developing preventive interventions. 相似文献11.

Background
The incidence of contact isolation for multidrug-resistant organisms is increasing in acute hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation units alike. There is limited evidence on the effect of contact isolation on functional outcomes during inpatient rehabilitation.Objective
To determine whether the use of a modified contact isolation protocol (MCI) resulted in noninferior functional outcomes compared with children without contact isolation (NCI) on inpatient rehabilitation.Design
This is a retrospective noninferiority study.Setting
One academically affiliated pediatric inpatient rehabilitation unit located in a children’s hospital.Patients
All children with any diagnosis admitted to inpatient rehabilitation from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2014.Methods or Interventions
We compared functional outcomes for 2 groups of children.Main Outcome Measurements
Primary outcome measures included the Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) efficiency and the change in the Developmental Functional Quotient (DFQ) for the WeeFIM. Noninferiority margins of 0.63 for the WeeFIM efficiency and 0.092 for the change in DFQ for the WeeFIM were used.Results
There were a total of 949 patients of whom 899 were NCI, 48 MCI, and 2 excluded due to missing information. Patients with MCI had functional outcomes that were noninferior to those with NCI including the WeeFIM efficiency (mean difference 0.002, 95% CI –0.38 to 0.404) and the change in DFQ for the WeeFIM (mean difference –0.05, 95% CI –0.058 to 0.003).Conclusions
The modified contact isolation protocol, having resulted in noninferior functional outcomes in inpatient rehabilitation may provide adequate contact isolation while allowing for noninferior functional outcomes. This may be a guide in the face of an ever-increasing need for contact isolation.Level of Evidence

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 determine whether a powered ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) that provides dorsiflexor and plantar flexor assistance at the ankle can improve walking endurance of persons with multiple sclerosis (MS).Design
Short-term intervention.Setting
University research laboratory.Participants
Participants (N=16) with a neurologist-confirmed diagnosis of MS and daily use of a prescribed custom unilateral passive AFO.Interventions
Three 6-minute walk tests (6MWTs), 1 per footwear condition: shoes (no AFO), prescribed passive AFO, and portable powered AFO (PPAFO). Assistive devices were worn on the impaired limb.Main Outcome Measures
Distance walked and metabolic cost of transport were recorded during each 6MWT and compared between footwear conditions.Results
Each participant completed all three 6MWTs within the experimental design. PPAFO use resulted in a shorter 6MWT distance than did a passive AFO or shoe use. No differences were observed in metabolic cost of transport between footwear conditions.Conclusions
The current embodiment of this PPAFO did not improve endurance walking performance during the 6MWT in a sample of participants with gait impairment due to MS. Further research is required to determine whether expanded training or modified design of this powered orthosis can be effective in improving endurance walking performance in persons with gait impairment due to MS. 相似文献14.

Background
The presence of subtle losses in hand dexterity after stroke affects the regaining of independence with regard to activities of daily living. Therefore, awareness of ipsilesional upper extremity (UE) function may be of importance when developing a comprehensive rehabilitation program. However, current hand function tests seem to be unable to identify asymptomatic UE impairments.Objectives
To assess the motor coordination as well as the sensory perception of an ipsilesional UE using biomechanical analysis of performance-oriented tasks and conducting a Manual Tactile Test (MTT).Design
Case-controlled study.Setting
A university hospital.Participants
A total of 21 patients with unilateral stroke, along with 21 matched healthy control subjects, were recruited.Methods
Each participant was requested to perform a pinch?holding-up activity (PHUA) test, object-transport task, and reach-to-grasp task via motion capture, as well as the MTT.Main Outcome Measurements
The kinetic data of the PHUA test, kinematics analysis of functional movements, and time requirement of MTT were analyzed.Results
Patients with ipsilesional UE had an inferior ability to scale and produce pinch force precisely when conducting the PHUA test compared to the healthy controls (P < .05). The movement time was statistically longer and peak velocity was significantly lower (P < .05) in the performance-oriented tasks for the ipsilesional UE patients. The longer time requirement in 3 MTT subtests showed that the ipsilesional UE patients experienced degradation in sensory perception (P < .001).Conclusion
Comprehensive sensorimotor assessments based on functional perspectives are valid tools to determine deficits in the sensation-perception-motor system in the ipsilesional UE. Integration of sensorimotor training programs for ipsilesional UE in future neuro-rehabilitation strategies may provide more beneficial effects to regain patients’ motor recovery and to promote daily living activity independence than focusing on paretic arm motor training alone.Level of Evidence

Objective
To describe the relationship between caregiver-specific support and conflict, and psychosocial outcomes among individuals experiencing their first dysvascular lower extremity amputation (LEA).Design
Cross-sectional cohort study using self-report surveys.Setting
Department of Veterans Affairs, academic medical center, and level I trauma center.Participants
Individuals undergoing their first major LEA because of complications of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) or diabetes who have a caregiver and completed measures of caregiver support and conflict (N=137; 94.9% men).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 to assess depression and the Satisfaction With Life Scale to assess life satisfaction.Results
In multiple regression analyses, controlling for global levels of perceived support, self-rated health, age, and mobility, caregiver-specific support was found to be associated with higher levels of life satisfaction and caregiver-specific conflict was found to be associated with lower levels of life satisfaction and higher levels of depressive symptoms.Conclusions
The specific relationship between individuals with limb loss and their caregivers may be an important determinant of well-being. Conflict with caregivers, which has received little attention thus far in the limb loss literature, appears to play a particularly important role. Individuals with limb loss may benefit from interventions with their caregivers that both enhance support and reduce conflict. 相似文献17.

Objective
To compare the safety and estimate the response profile of olanzapine, a second-generation antipsychotic, to haloperidol in the treatment of delirium in the critical care setting.Design
Prospective randomized trialSetting
Tertiary care university affiliated critical care unit.Patients
All admissions to a medical and surgical intensive care unit with a diagnosis of delirium.Interventions
Patients were randomized to receive either enteral olanzapine or haloperidol.Measurements
Patient’s delirium severity and benzodiazepine use were monitored over 5 days after the diagnosis of delirium.Main results
Delirium Index decreased over time in both groups, as did the administered dose of benzodiazepines. Clinical improvement was similar in both treatment arms. No side effects were noted in the olanzapine group, whereas the use of haloperidol was associated with extrapyramidal side effects.Conclusions
Olanzapine is a safe alternative to haloperidol in delirious critical care patients, and may be of particular interest in patients in whom haloperidol is contraindicated.20.
