Objectives
To develop, for versions completed by individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and an observer, a more precise metric for the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) Irritability and Aggression subscales using all behavioral item ratings for use with individuals with TBI and to address the dimensionality of the represented behavioral domains.Design
Rasch and confirmatory factor analyses of retrospective baseline NPI data from 3 treatment studies.Setting
Postacute rehabilitation clinic.Participants
NPI records (N = 525) consisting of observer ratings (n = 287) and self-ratings (n = 238) by participants with complicated mild, moderate, or severe TBI at least 6 months postinjury.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Frequency and severity ratings from NPI Irritability/Lability and Agitation/Aggression subscales.Results
Confirmatory factor analyses of both observer and participant ratings showed good fit for either a 1-factor or a 2-factor solution. Consistent with this, the Rasch model also fit the data well with aggression items indicating the more severe end of the construct and irritability items populating the milder end.Conclusions
Irritability and aggression appear to represent different levels of severity of a single construct. The derived Rasch metric offers a measure of this construct based on responses to all specific items that is appropriate for parametric statistical analysis and may be useful in research and clinical assessments of individuals with TBI. 相似文献2.

Context
The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF), a questionnaire that measures cancer-related fatigue, has not been established in patients with cancer.Objectives
This study aims to determine the MCID of the MFSI-SF.Methods
Breast cancer patients completed the MFSI-SF and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) before chemotherapy and at least three weeks later. The EORTC-QLQ-C30 fatigue scale (EORTC-FA) was used as an anchor, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was also used to identify the optimal MCID cut-off for fatigue deterioration. A distribution-based approach used one-third of the SD, half of the SD, and one SEM of the total MFSI-SF score to determine the MCID.Results
A total of 201 patients were analyzed. Change scores of the MFSI-SF and EORTC-FA were moderately correlated (r = 0.47, P < 0.001). The EORTC-FA–anchored MCID was 8.69 points (95% CI: 4.03–13.34). The MCID attained from the ROC curve method was 4.50 points (sensitivity: 68.8%; specificity: 64.1%). For the distribution-based approach, the MCIDs corresponding to one-third of the SD, half of the SD, and one SEM were 5.39, 8.99, and 10.79 points, respectively.Conclusion
The MCID of the MFSI-SF identified by all approaches ranged from 4.50 to 10.79 points. The MCID can be used to interpret the clinical significance of fatigue deterioration in patients with breast cancer and to determine sample sizes for future clinical trials. 相似文献3.
Is Going Beyond Rasch Analysis Necessary to Assess the Construct Validity of a Motor Function Scale?

Objective
To examine whether a Rasch analysis is sufficient to establish the construct validity of the Motor Function Measure (MFM) and discuss whether weighting the MFM item scores would improve the MFM construct validity.Design
Observational cross-sectional multicenter study.Setting
Twenty-three physical medicine departments, neurology departments, or reference centers for neuromuscular diseases.Participants
Patients (N=911) aged 6 to 60 years with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD), or myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1).Interventions
None.Main Outcome Measure(s)
Comparison of the goodness-of-fit of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) model vs that of a modified multidimensional Rasch model on MFM item scores in each considered disease.Results
The CFA model showed good fit to the data and significantly better goodness of fit than the modified multidimensional Rasch model regardless of the disease (P<.001). Statistically significant differences in item standardized factor loadings were found between DM1, CMT, and FSHD in only 6 of 32 items (items 6, 27, 2, 7, 9 and 17).Conclusions
For multidimensional scales designed to measure patient abilities in various diseases, a Rasch analysis might not be the most convenient, whereas a CFA is able to establish the scale construct validity and provide weights to adapt the item scores to a specific disease. 相似文献4.

Objective
To determine the impact of long-term, body weight–supported locomotor training after chronic, incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI), and to estimate the health care costs related to lost recovery potential and preventable secondary complications that may have occurred because of visit limits imposed by insurers.Design
Prospective observational cohort with longitudinal follow-up.Setting
Eight outpatient rehabilitation centers that participate in the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation NeuroRecovery Network (NRN).Participants
Individuals with motor incomplete chronic SCI (American Spinal Injury Association Impairment Scale C or D; N=69; 0.1–45y after SCI) who completed at least 120 NRN physical therapy sessions.Interventions
Manually assisted locomotor training (LT) in a body weight–supported treadmill environment, overground standing and stepping activities, and community integration tasks.Main Outcome Measures
International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury motor and sensory scores, orthostatic hypotension, bowel/bladder/sexual function, Spinal Cord Injury Functional Ambulation Inventory (SCI-FAI), Berg Balance Scale, Modified Functional Reach, 10-m walk test, and 6-minute walk test. Longitudinal outcome measure collection occurred every 20 treatments and at 6- to 12-month follow-up after discharge from therapy.Results
Significant improvement occurred for upper and lower motor strength, functional activities, psychological arousal, sensation of bowel movement, and SCI-FAI community ambulation. Extended training enabled minimal detectable changes at 60, 80, 100, and 120 sessions. After detectable change occurred, it was sustained through 120 sessions and continued 6 to 12 months after treatment.Conclusions
Delivering at least 120 sessions of LT improves recovery from incomplete chronic SCI. Because walking reduces rehospitalization, LT delivered beyond the average 20-session insurance limit can reduce rehospitalizations and long-term health costs. 相似文献5.

Objectives
To compare the effectiveness of a comprehensive nonsurgical training program to a self-directed approach in improving walking ability in lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).Design
Randomized controlled trial.Setting
Academic hospital outpatient clinic.Participants
Participants (N=104) with neurogenic claudication and imaging confirmed LSS were randomized. The mean age was 70.6 years, 57% were women, 84% had leg symptoms for >12 months, and the mean maximum walking capacity was 328.7 m.Interventions
A 6-week structured comprehensive training program or a 6-week self-directed program.Main Outcome Measures
Continuous walking distance in meters measured by the Self-Paced Walk Test (SPWT) and proportion of participants achieving at least 30% improvement (minimally clinically important difference [MCID]) in the SPWT at 6 months. Secondary outcomes included the Zurich Claudication Questionnaire (ZCQ), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), ODI walk score, and the Short-Form General Health Survey subscales.Results
A total of 48 versus 51 participants who were randomized to comprehensive (n=51) or self-directed (n=53) treatment, respectively, received the intervention and 89% of the total study sample completed the study. At 6 months, the adjusted mean difference in walking distance from baseline was 421.0 m (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 181.4-660.6), favoring the comprehensive program and 82% of participants in the comprehensive group and 63% in the self-directed group achieved the MCID (adjusted relative risk, 1.3; 95% CI, 1.0-1.7; P=.03). Both primary treatment effects persisted at 12 months favoring the comprehensive program. At 6 months, the ODI walk score and at 12 months the ZCQ, Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey-physical function and -bodily pain scores showed greater improvements favoring the comprehensive program.Conclusions
A comprehensive conservative program demonstrated superior, large, and sustained improvements in walking ability and can be a safe nonsurgical treatment option for patients with neurogenic claudication due to LSS. 相似文献6.

Objective
To evaluate the effect of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) on exercise performance and quality of life in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with different degrees of static lung hyperinflation (LH).Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
PR network.Participants
A cohort of 1981 patients with COPD (55% men; age: 66.8±9.3y; forced expiratory volume in the first second%: 50.7±19.5; residual volume [RV]%: 163.0±49.7).Intervention
An interdisciplinary PR program for patients with COPD consisting of 40 sessions.Main Outcome Measures
Participants were stratified into 5 quintiles according to baseline RV and were evaluated on the basis of pre- and post-PR 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), constant work rate test (CWRT), and Saint George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ), among other clinical parameters.Results
With increasing RV quintile, patients were younger, more frequently women, had lower forced expiratory volume in the first second%, lower body mass index and fat-free mass index, shorter 6MWD, shorter CWRT, and worse SGRQ scores (P<.01). All RV strata improved after PR in all 3 outcomes (P<.001). Nevertheless, higher, compared to lower RV categories, had lower ΔCWRT (P<.01) but similar Δ6MWD (P=.948) and ΔSGRQ (P=.086) after PR.Conclusions
LH in COPD is related to younger age, female sex, lower body weight, worse exercise capacity and health status, but did not prevent patients from benefitting from PR. LH, however, influences walking and cycling response after PR differently. 相似文献7.

Objective
To determine the effects of a high-intensity exercise therapy using sensorimotor and visual stimuli on nondemented Parkinson disease (PD) patients’ clinical symptoms, mobility, and standing balance.Design
Randomized clinical intervention, using a before-after trial design.Setting
University hospital setting.Participants
A total of 72 PD patients with Hoehn and Yahr stage of 2-3, of whom 64 were randomized, and 55 completed the study.Intervention
PD patients were randomly assigned to a no physical intervention control (n=20 of 29 completed, 9 withdrew before baseline testing) or to a high-intensity agility program (15 sessions, 3 weeks, n=35 completed).Main Outcome Measures
Primary outcome was the Movement Disorders Society-Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) motor experiences of daily living (M-EDL). Secondary outcomes were Beck Depression score, Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39), EuroQoL Five-Dimension (EQ5D) Questionnaire visual analog scale, Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living (SE ADL) Scale, timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and 12 measures of static posturography.Results
The agility program improved MDS-UPDRS M-EDL by 38% compared with the 2% change in control (group by time interaction, P=.001). Only the intervention group improved in PDQ-39 (6.6 points), depression (18%), EQ5D visual analog scale score (15%), the SE ADL Scale score (15%), the TUG test (39%), and in 8 of 12 posturography measures by 42%-55% (all P<.001). The levodopa equivalent dosage did not change.Conclusion
A high-intensity agility program improved nondemented, stage 2-3 PD patients’ clinical symptoms, mobility, and standing balance by functionally meaningful margins at short-term follow-up. 相似文献8.

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9.

Objectives
To (1) develop a computerized adaptive test for gross motor skills (GM-CAT) as a diagnostic test and an outcome measure, using the gross motor skills subscale of the Comprehensive Developmental Inventory for Infants and Toddlers (CDIIT-GM) as the candidate item bank; and (2) examine the psychometric properties and the efficiency of the GM-CAT.Design
Retrospective study.Setting
A developmental center of a medical center.Participants
Children with and without developmental delay (N=1738).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The CDIIT-GM contains 56 universal items on gross motor skills assessing children's antigravity control, locomotion, and body movement coordination.Results
The item bank of the GM-CAT had 44 items that met the dichotomous Rasch model's assumptions. High Rasch person reliabilities were found for each estimated gross motor skill for the GM-CAT (Rasch person reliabilities =.940-.995, SE=.68-2.43). For children aged 6 to 71 months, the GM-CAT had good concurrent validity (r values =.97-.98), adequate to excellent diagnostic accuracy (area under receiver operating characteristics curve =.80-.98), and moderate to large responsiveness (effect size =.65-5.82). The averages of items administered for the GM-CAT were 7 to 11, depending on the age group.Conclusions
The results of this study support the use of the GM-CAT as a diagnostic and outcome measure to estimate children's gross motor skills in both research and clinical settings. 相似文献10.

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 investigate the relation between consciousness and nociceptive responsiveness (ie, Nociception Coma Scale–Revised [NCS-R]), to examine the suitability of the NCS-R for assessing nociception in participants with disorders of consciousness (DOC), and to replicate previous findings on psychometric properties of the scale.Design
Specialized DOC program.Setting
Specialized DOC program and university hospitals.Participants
Participants (N=85) diagnosed with DOC.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
We prospectively assessed consciousness with the Coma Recovery Scale–Revised (CRS-R). Responses during baseline, non-noxious, and noxious stimulations were scored with the NCS-R and CRS-R oromotor and motor subscales.Results
CRS-R total scores correlated with NCS-R total scores and subscores. CRS-R motor subscores correlated with NCS-R total scores and motor subscores, and CRS-R oromotor subscores correlated with NCS-R total scores as well as verbal and facial expression subscores. There was a difference between unresponsive wakefulness syndrome and minimally conscious state in the proportion of grimacing and/or crying participants during noxious conditions. We replicated previous findings on psychometric properties of the scale but found a different score as the best threshold for nociception.Conclusions
We report a strong relation between the responsiveness to nociception and the level of consciousness. The NCS-R seems to be a valuable tool for assessing nociception in an efficient manner, but additional studies are needed to allow recommendations for clinical assessment of subjective pain experience. 相似文献12.

Objective
To test the feasibility and validity of an online version of an established interview designed to determine a lifetime history of traumatic brain injury (TBI).Design
Cross-sectional.Setting
General community.Participants
A volunteer sample of individuals (N= 265) from the general population across the United States.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure(s)
Online version of the Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method, Rivermead Postconcussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Cognitive Concerns Scale.Results
The measure was completed by 89.4% of the sample with most participants completing the measure in <8 minutes. After controlling for age, sex, psychiatric history, drug or alcohol history, and history of developmental disability, worst TBI severity was significantly associated with scores on the RPQ, F(2,230)=4.56, P=.011, and having a TBI within the past 2 years was associated with higher scores on the cognitive factor subscale of the RPQ, F(1,75)=7.7, P=.007.Conclusions
The online administration of the Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method appears to be feasible in the general population. Preliminary validity was demonstrated for the indices of worst TBI severity and time since most recent TBI. 相似文献13.

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
Ultrasound guidance is increasingly being used for neurolytic procedures that have traditionally been done with electrical stimulation (e-stim) guidance alone. Ultrasound visualization with e-stim?guided neurolysis can potentially allow adjustments in injection protocols that will reduce the volume of neurolytic agent needed to achieve clinical improvement.Objective
This study compared e-stim only to e-stim with ultrasound guidance in phenol neurolysis of the musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) for elbow flexor spasticity. We also evaluated the ultrasound appearance of the MCN in this population.Design
Retrospective review.Setting
University hospital outpatient clinic.Participants
Adults (N = 167) receiving phenol neurolysis to the MCN for treatment of elbow flexor spasticity between 1997 and 2014 and adult control subjects.Methods
For each phenol injection of the MCN, the method of guidance, volume of phenol injected, technical success, improved range of motion at the elbow postinjection, adverse effects, reason for termination of injections, and details of concomitant botulinum toxin injection were recorded. The ultrasound appearance of the MCN, including nerve cross-sectional area and shape, were recorded and compared between groups.Main Outcome Measures
The volume of phenol injected and MCN cross-sectional area and shape as demonstrated by ultrasound.Results
The addition of ultrasound to e-stim?guided phenol neurolysis was associated with lower doses of phenol when compared to e-stim guidance alone (2.31 mL versus 3.69 mL, P < .001). With subsequent injections, the dose of phenol increased with e-stim guidance (P < .001), but not with e-stim and ultrasound guidance (P = .95). Both methods of guidance had high technical success, improved ROM at elbow postinjection, and low rates of adverse events. In comparing the ultrasound appearance of the MCN in patients with spasticity to that of normal controls, there was no difference in the cross-sectional area of the nerve, but there was more variability in shape.Conclusions
Combined e-stim and ultrasound guidance during phenol neurolysis to the MCN allows a smaller volume of phenol to be used for equal effect, both at initial and repeat injection. The MCN shape was more variable in individuals with spasticity; this should be recognized so as to successfully locate the nerve to perform neurolysis.Level of Evidence

59-Item WheelCon-P.Results
Principal component analyses confirmed the presence of 2 self-efficacy dimensions: mobility and social situation. Eleven mobility items and 5 social situation items fit the Rasch rating scale model. Three items misfit the model using all 16 items (ie, WheelCon-P short form). In each of the mobility, social situation, and WheelCon-P short form range of measurements, the 2 lowest and 2 highest measures had internal consistency reliability estimates below .70; all other measures had reliability estimates above .70.Conclusions
The WheelCon-P is composed of 2 self-efficacy dimensions related to mobility and social situations. The scores from the WheelCon-P short form and the 11-item mobility and 5-item social situation dimensions using a 0 to 10 response scale have good reliability. 相似文献16.

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17.

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18.

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19.

Objective
To assess the effect of a pain neurophysiology education (PNE) program plus therapeutic exercise (TE) for patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).Design
Single-blind randomized controlled trial.Setting
Private clinic and university.Participants
Patients with CLBP for ≥6 months (N=56).Interventions
Participants were randomized to receive either a TE program consisting of motor control, stretching, and aerobic exercises (n=28) or the same TE program in addition to a PNE program (n=28), conducted in two 30- to 50-minute sessions in groups of 4 to 6 participants.Main Outcomes Measures
The primary outcome was pain intensity rated on the numerical pain rating scale which was completed immediately after treatment and at 1- and 3-month follow-up. Secondary outcome measures were pressure pain threshold, finger-to-floor distance, Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire, Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, and Patient Global Impression of Change.Results
At 3-month follow-up, a large change in pain intensity (numerical pain rating scale: ?2.2; ?2.93 to ?1.28; P<.001; d=1.37) was observed for the PNE plus TE group, and a moderate effect size was observed for the secondary outcome measures.Conclusions
Combining PNE with TE resulted in significantly better results for participants with CLBP, with a large effect size, compared with TE alone. 相似文献20.
