Objective
To investigate whether oldest-old age (≥85y) is an independent predictor of exclusion from stroke rehabilitation.Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
Stroke unit (SU) of a tertiary hospital.Participants
Elderly patients (N=1055; aged 65–74y, n=230; aged 75–84y, n=432; aged ≥85y, n=393) who, between 2009 and 2012, were admitted to the SU with acute stroke and evaluated by a multiprofessional team for access to rehabilitation. The study excluded patients for whom rehabilitation was unnecessary or inappropriate.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Access to an early mobilization (EM) protocol during SU stay and subsequent access to postacute rehabilitation after SU discharge. Analyses were adjusted for prestroke and stroke-related characteristics.Results
32.2% of patients were excluded from EM. Multivariable-adjusted odds ratios (ORs) of EM exclusion were 1.30 (95% confidence interval [CI], .76–2.21) for ages 75 to 84 years and 2.07 (95% CI, 1.19–3.59) for ages ≥85 years compared with ages 65 to 74 years. Of 656 patients admitted to EM and who, at SU discharge, had not yet fully recovered their prestroke functional status, 18.4% were excluded from postacute rehabilitation. For patients able to walk unassisted at SU discharge, the probability of exclusion did not change across age groups. For patients unable to walk unassisted at SU discharge, ORs of exclusion from postacute rehabilitation were 3.74 (95% CI, 1.26–11.13) for ages 75 to 84 years and 9.15 (95% CI, 3.05–27.46) for ages ≥85 years compared with ages 65 to 74 years.Conclusions
Oldest-old age is an independent predictor of exclusion from stroke rehabilitation. 相似文献2.
Study design
Randomized controlled trial.Objectives
To improve hip function by an additional targeted mobilization and strength training of the hip muscles within the first postoperative week following a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in contrast to standard physiotherapy.Background
The aim of early postoperative physiotherapy is to improve the functioning of the artificial hip joint as well as the restoration of mobility and independence of the patient. Minimally invasive surgical techniques allow early mobilization with immediate full weight-bearing.Methods
39 patients were divided into an intervention (IG) and control group (CG). After implantation of THA the CG completed standard physiotherapy, while the IG had an intensified active treatment with additional mobilization and strength training. Passive range of motion (flexion, extension, abduction), thigh circumference, holding force of the gluteal muscles, one-leg stance, covered distance walked in 6-min and subjective parameters were tested one day before and six days after surgery.Results
Improvements in IG compared to CG were recorded in range of motion (flexion p < 0.01, extension p < 0.001, abduction p < 0.01) and gait performance (p < 0.001). No differences between groups were detected as regard thigh circumference, holding force of the gluteal muscles, one-leg stance and subjective parameters. Deterioration in IG compared to CG did not occur.Conclusion
An additional, targeted mobilization and strength training of the hip muscles with full weight-bearing, which begins at the 3rd day after implantation of a THA is tolerated well and improves within one week hip range of motion and gait performance compared to standard physiotherapy. 相似文献3.

Objective
To identify predictors of therapist use (any use, continuity of care, timing of care) in the acute care hospital and community (home or outpatient) for patients discharged home after stroke.Design
Retrospective cohort analysis of Medicare claims (2010–2013) linked to hospital-level and county-level data.Setting
Acute care hospital and community.Participants
Patients (N=23,413) who survived the first 30 days at home after being discharged from an acute care hospital after stroke.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Physical and occupational therapist use in acute care and community settings; continuity of care across the inpatient and home or the inpatient and outpatient settings; and early therapist use in the home or outpatient setting. Multivariate logistic and multinomial logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify hospital-level, county-level, and sociodemographic characteristics associated with therapist use, continuity, and timing, controlling for clinical characteristics.Results
Seventy-eight percent of patients received therapy in the acute care hospital, but only 40.8% received care in the first 30 days after discharge. Hospital nurse staffing was positively associated with inpatient and outpatient therapist use and continuity of care across settings. Primary care provider supply was associated with inpatient and outpatient therapist use, continuity of care, and early therapist care in the home and outpatient setting. Therapist supply was associated with continuity of care and early therapist use in the community. There was consistent evidence of sociodemographic disparities in therapist use.Conclusions
Therapist use after stroke varies in the community and for specific sociodemographic subgroups and may be underused. Inpatient nurse staffing levels and primary care provider supply were the most consistent predictors of therapist use, continuity of care, and early therapist use. 相似文献4.

Objective
To assess the benefit of isokinetic strengthening of the upper limb (UL) in patients with chronic stroke as compared to passive mobilization.Design
Randomized blinded assessor controlled trial.Setting
Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation departments of 2 university hospitals.Participants
Patients (N=20) with incomplete hemiplegia (16 men; mean age, 64y; median time since stroke, 32mo).Interventions
A 6-week comprehensive rehabilitation program, 3d/wk, 3 sessions/d. In addition, a 45-minute session per day was performed using an isokinetic dynamometer, with either isokinetic strengthening of elbow and wrist flexors/extensors (isokinetic strengthening group) or passive joint mobilization (control group).Main Outcome Measures
The primary endpoint was the increase in Upper Limb Fugl-Meyer Assessment (UL-FMA) score at day 45 (t1). Secondary endpoints were increases in UL-FMA scores, Box and Block Test scores, muscle strength, spasticity, and Barthel Index at t1, t2 (3mo), and t3 (6mo).Results
Recruitment was stopped early because of excessive fatigue in the isokinetic strengthening group. The increase in UL-FMA score at t1 was 3.5±4.4 in the isokinetic strengthening group versus 6.0±4.5 in the control group (P=.2). Gains in distal UL-FMA scores were larger (3.1±2.8) in the control group versus 0.6±2.5 in the isokinetic strengthening group (P=.05). No significant group difference was observed in secondary endpoints. Mixed models confirmed those results. Regarding the whole sample, gains from baseline were significant for the UL-FMA at t1 (+4.8; P<.001), t2, and t3 and for the Box and Block Test at t1 (+3; P=.013) and t2.Conclusions
In a comprehensive rehabilitation program, isokinetic strengthening did not show superiority to passive mobilization for UL rehabilitation. Findings also suggest a sustained benefit in impairments and function of late UL rehabilitation programs for patients with stroke. 相似文献5.

Objectives
To determine whether receipt of therapy and number and timing of therapy visits decreased hospital readmission risk in stroke survivors discharged home.Design
Retrospective cohort analysis of Medicare claims (2010–2013).Setting
Acute care hospital and community.Participants
Patients hospitalized for stroke who were discharged home and survived the first 30 days (N=23,413; mean age ± SD, 77.6±7.5y).Interventions
Physical and occupational therapist use in the home and/or outpatient setting in the first 30 days after discharge (any use, number of visits, and days to first visit).Main Outcome Measures
Hospital readmission 30 to 60 days after discharge. Covariates included demographic characteristics, proxy variables for functional status, hospitalization characteristics, comorbidities, and prior health care use. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to examine the relation between therapist use and readmission.Results
During the first 30 days after discharge, 31% of patients saw a therapist in the home, 11% saw a therapist in an outpatient setting, and 59% did not see a therapist. Relative to patients who had no therapist contact, those who saw an outpatient therapist were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital (odds ratio, 0.73; 95% confidence interval, 0.59–0.90). Although the point estimates did not reach statistical significance, there was some suggestion that the greater the number of therapist visits in the home and the sooner the visits started, the lower the risk of hospital readmission.Conclusions
After controlling for observable demographic-, clinical-, and health-related differences, we found that individuals who received outpatient therapy in the first 30 days after discharge home after stroke were less likely to be readmitted to the hospital in the subsequent 30 days, relative to those who received no therapy. 相似文献6.

Objective
To determine the relation between rehabilitation intensity and poststroke mortality.Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
Nationwide claims data.Participants
From Taiwan's National Health Insurance claims databases, patients (N=6737; mean age, 66.9y; 40.3% women) hospitalized between 2001 and 2013 for a first-ever stroke who had mild to moderate stroke and survived the first 90 days of stroke were enrolled.Interventions
The intensity of rehabilitation therapy within 90 days after stroke was categorized into low, medium, or high based on the tertile distribution of the number of rehabilitation sessions.Main Outcome Measures
Long-term all-cause mortality. The Cox proportional hazard models with Bonferroni correction were used to assess the association between rehabilitation intensity and mortality, adjusting for age, comorbidities, stroke severity, and other covariates.Results
Patients in the high-intensity group were younger but had a higher burden of comorbidities and greater stroke severity. During follow-up, the high-intensity group was associated with a significantly lower adjusted risk (hazard ratio [HR], .73; 95% confidence interval [CI], .63–.84) of mortality than the low-intensity group, whereas the medium-intensity group carried a similar risk of mortality (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.84–1.06) compared with the low-intensity group. This association was not modified by stroke severity.Conclusions
Among patients with mild to moderate stroke severity, high-intensity rehabilitation therapy within the first 90 days was associated with a lower mortality risk than low-intensity therapy. Efforts to promote high-intensity rehabilitation therapy for this group of patients with stroke should be encouraged. 相似文献7.
Background
Empirical antimicrobial treatment for patients presenting with bloodstream infections is considered to affect patients' outcome.Method
We conducted a single-center, retrospective study of critically-ill patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit, to examine whether the appropriateness of antimicrobial therapy is associated with mortality from bloodstream infections. The primary study endpoints were the mortality and survival time up to 60 days after the sampling of the blood cultures.Results
We enrolled 62 patients with bloodstream infection, of whom 46 received appropriate and 16 received inappropriate, empirical, antimicrobial therapy. The 60-day mortality of appropriately treated (35%) was significantly lower than that of inappropriately treated (88%) patients (p = .0003), with an adjusted odds ratio of dying = 0.043 (95% confidence interval 0.0047–0.23; p = .0011). Survival time differed significantly between the two groups (p = .0004), with an adjusted hazard ratio = 0.34 (95% confidence interval 0.16–0.70; p = .0043).Conclusion
Appropriate antimicrobial therapy administered to critically-ill patients presenting with bloodstream infections was associated with a lower 60-day mortality than inappropriate therapy. 相似文献8.

Objective
To explore the perceived barriers and facilitators of tele-rehabilitation (TR) by stroke patients, caregivers and rehabilitation therapists in an Asian setting.Design
Qualitative study involving semi-structured in-depth interviews and focus group discussions.Setting
General community.Participants
Participants (N=37) including stroke patients, their caregivers, and tele-therapists selected by purposive sampling.Interventions
Singapore Tele-technology Aided Rehabilitation in Stroke trial.Main Outcome Measures
Perceived barriers and facilitators for TR uptake, as reported by patients, their caregivers, and tele-therapists.Results
Thematic analysis was used to inductively identify the following themes: facilitators identified by patients were affordability and accessibility; by tele-therapists, was filling a service gap and common to both was unexpected benefits such as detection of uncontrolled hypertension. Barriers identified by patients were equipment setup–related difficulties and limited scope of exercises; barriers identified by tele-therapists were patient assessments, interface problems and limited scope of exercises; and common to both were connectivity barriers. Patient characteristics like age, stroke severity, caregiver support, and cultural influence modified patient perceptions and choice of rehabilitation.Conclusions
Patient attributes and context are significant determinants in adoption and compliance of stroke patients to technology driven interventions like TR. Policy recommendations from our work are inclusion of introductory videos in TR programs, provision of technical support to older patients, longer FaceTime sessions as re-enforcement for severely disabled stroke patients, and training of tele-therapists in assessment methods suitable for virtual platforms. 相似文献9.

Objectives
To investigate the extent to which the mood of stroke patients is assessed and what kind of assessment methods are used in routine clinical practice, and whether prescheduled follow-ups can improve the detection of depression, particularly when this practice is blended with better education for health care professionals in assessing and detecting depression.Design
Before–after trial with an 18-month follow-up and a review of medical records.Setting
Acute care hospital, community.Participants
Consecutive acute stroke patients (N=398) were screened. Patients lived in a health care district with a population of 132,000. The screening took place in the first half of 2010 and then again, after the implementation of the follow-up system, in the first half of 2012. After exclusion of patients too severely ill to be interviewed, there were n=105 patients in the 2010 sample and n=112 patients in the 2012 sample.Intervention
Implementation of a follow-up path for all stroke patients.Main Outcome Measures
The percentage and quality of mood assessments in the medical records; and the stroke patients’ depressive symptoms and their satisfaction with their care.Results
In the 2010 sample, 47% of the patients (n=48) had documentation of mood in their medical records. After the implementation of prescheduled follow-ups, 77% of the patients (n=86) had documented moods. The increase was highly significant (P<.001). During the early outpatient phase, the use of interviews increased from 14% (n=15) to 45% (n=50) of the patients (P<.001). The increase in the satisfaction with care did not reach statistical significance. Depressive symptoms recorded at any time were associated with depressive symptoms at 18 months (P<.001).Conclusions
Prescheduled follow-ups for all stroke patients, including routine depression screening, can remarkably improve the compliance with depression screening and the detection of depression. 相似文献10.

Objective
To establish the feasibility and effectiveness of a 6-week ballistic strength training protocol in people with stroke.Design
Randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded study.Setting
Subacute inpatient rehabilitation.Participants
Consecutively admitted inpatients with a primary diagnosis of first-ever stroke with lower limb weakness, functional ambulation category score of ≥3, and ability to walk ≥14 m were screened for eligibility to recruit 30 participants for randomization.Interventions
Participants were randomized to standard therapy or ballistic strength training 3 times per week for 6 weeks.Main Outcome Measures
The primary aim was to evaluate feasibility and outcomes included recruitment rate, participant retention and attrition, feasibility of the exercise protocol, therapist burden, and participant safety. Secondary outcomes included measures of mobility, lower limb muscle strength, muscle power, and quality of life.Results
A total of 30 participants (11% of those screened) with mean age of 50 years (SD 18) were randomized. The median number of sessions attended was 15 of 18 and 17 of 18 for the ballistic and control groups, respectively. Earlier than expected discharge to home (n=4) and illness (n=7) were the most common reasons for nonattendance. Participants performed the exercises safely, with no study-related adverse events. There were significant (P<.05) between-group changes favoring the ballistic group for comfortable gait velocity (mean difference [MD] 0.31m/s, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.08-0.52), muscle power, as measured by peak jump height (MD 8cm, 95% CI: 3-13), and peak propulsive velocity (MD 64cm/s, 95% CI: 17-112).Conclusions
Ballistic training was safe and feasible in select ambulant people with stroke. Similar rates of retention and attrition suggest that ballistic training was acceptable to patients. Secondary outcomes provide promising results that warrant further investigation in a larger trial. 相似文献13.

Objective
To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of a sedentary behavior change intervention on sedentary behavior, physical activity, function, and quality of life following inpatient stroke rehabilitation.Design
Single-group, longitudinal, intervention study with 1-week baseline, 8-week intervention, and 8-week follow-up.Setting
Community.Participants
Individuals (N=34) with subacute stroke recruited within 1 month following discharge home from inpatient stroke rehabilitation.Intervention
STand Up Frequently From Stroke (STUFFS) intervention that involved interrupting and replacing sedentary time with upright activities (standing and walking) at home and in the community. A motivational wrist-worn activity monitor was used throughout the intervention.Main Outcome Measures
Primary outcomes were reach (enrolled/eligible), retention (completed/enrolled), satisfaction, and compliance with the intervention. Secondary outcomes were sedentary behavior, physical activity, lower extremity impairment, self-efficacy, cognitive status, mobility, and quality of life outcomes.Results
Forty-four participants were eligible to participate. Of the eligible, 34 (77.3%; time since stroke onset: 3.5±1.1 months) were enrolled at baseline and 32 (94.1%) of the enrolled had complete data at follow-up. Satisfaction with the program was 89%. Sedentary time decreased by 54.2±13.7 minutes per day (P<.01) at postintervention and 26.8±14.0 minutes per day (P=.07) at follow-up, relative to baseline. There were significant improvements in walking speed, cognition, impairment, and self-reported quality of life over time (P<.05). Self-efficacy was high across all time points. The number of steps and time spent stepping were not statistically different across both time periods.Conclusions
The program was feasible to deliver in the home environment with good retention and satisfaction. Further research is required to test the effectiveness of the STUFFS program compared with usual care. 相似文献14.

Objectives
To examine both group- and individual-level responsiveness of the 3-point Berg Balance Scale (BBS-3P) and 3-point Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients (PASS-3P) in patients with stroke, and to compare the responsiveness of both 3-point measures versus their original measures (Berg Balance Scale [BBS] and Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients [PASS]) and their short forms (short-form Berg Balance Scale [SFBBS] and short-form Postural Assessment Scale for Stroke Patients [SFPASS]) and between the BBS-3P and PASS-3P.Design
Data were retrieved from a previous study wherein 212 patients were assessed at 14 and 30 days after stroke with the BBS and PASS.Setting
Medical center.Participants
Patients (N=212) with first onset of stroke within 14 days before hospitalization.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Group-level responsiveness was examined by the standardized response mean (SRM), and individual-level responsiveness was examined by the proportion of patients whose change scores exceeded the minimal detectable change of each measure. The responsiveness was compared using the bootstrap approach.Results
The BBS-3P and PASS-3P had good group-level (SRM, .60 and SRM, .56, respectively) and individual-level (48.1% and 44.8% of the patients with significant improvement, respectively) responsiveness. Bootstrap analyses showed that the BBS-3P generally had superior responsiveness to the BBS and SFBBS, and the PASS-3P had similar responsiveness to the PASS and SFPASS. The BBS-3P and PASS-3P were equally responsive to both group and individual change.Conclusions
The responsiveness of the BBS-3P and PASS-3P was comparable or superior to those of the original and short-form measures. We recommend the BBS-3P and PASS-3P as responsive outcome measures of balance for individuals with stroke. 相似文献15.

Objective
To analyze the relation between platelet counts, intensities of physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) services received, and frequencies of bleeding complications in children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) during a period of severe thrombocytopenia.Design
Retrospective review study.Setting
Tertiary care hospital.Participants
Children (N=63; age, <18y) hospitalized for HSCT in 2010 and 2011 who received PT and OT services while markedly thrombocytopenic (platelet count, ≤50K/mcL).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Intensities of PT and OT interventions, patients' platelet counts on specific therapy days, and any bleeding events (minor or major) that occurred during or shortly after rehabilitation interventions.Results
Sixty-two patients (accounting for 63 HSCTs) met the criteria for analysis. Fifty-six of these patients (57 HSCTs) underwent PT and/or OT while markedly thrombocytopenic. There was no correlation between platelet counts and intensities of rehabilitation interventions. There were no major bleeding events. There was no association between minor bleeding events and intensities of PT or OT interventions and no association between minor bleeding events and platelet counts. Only 5 minor bleeding events occurred during or after moderate or intensive therapy out of 346 PT and OT sessions (1.5%).Conclusions
The results of our study suggest that bleeding complications during or after mobilization and supervised exercise during PT and OT in children with severe thrombocytopenia undergoing HSCT are minor and relatively rare. These are encouraging results for both patients and rehabilitation specialists treating this population who is at high risk of developing immobility-related complications. 相似文献16.

Objective
To describe the implementation process, outcomes, and lessons learned in the implementation of medical safety huddles, a novel patient safety monitoring strategy that promotes physician engagement with patient safety.Design
Single-center observational study.Setting
Brain and spinal cord injury rehabilitation program at an urban, academic adult rehabilitation hospital.Participants
Physicians associated with the program (N=18).Interventions
Weekly physicians' safety huddles were implemented to review, anticipate, and address patient safety issues.Main Outcome Measures
Main outcome measures were the number and nature of identified and anticipated patient safety incidents, actions taken, and physician attendance during huddles. The number of adverse events in the program before and after huddle implementation were secondary measures.Results
Over a 7-month period, average physician attendance at medical huddles was 76.0%. There were 1.0±0.8 patient safety incidents and 3.2±2.1 anticipated patient safety issues identified in each weekly huddle. Most patient safety incidents identified were clinical administrative and clinical process related, which differed from information gathered from the organization's preexisting patient safety monitoring strategies. A total of 79 actions, or 3.3±1.8 actions per huddle, were taken in response to improve patient safety for the program. Adverse events decreased from 31.2 (95% confidence interval [CI], 27.0–35.3) to 22.9 per month (95% CI, 19.3–26.5) after implementation.Conclusions
Medical safety huddles are a novel strategy to engage physicians in patient safety and organizational quality improvement. They have the potential to enhance organizational anticipation of safety risks by supplementing existing methods. Other rehabilitation settings may wish to consider implementing and evaluating similar huddles into their existing patient safety and quality improvement frameworks. 相似文献17.

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19.

Objective
To analyze the complex relation between various social indicators that contribute to socioeconomic status and health care barriers.Design
Cluster analysis of historical patient data obtained from inpatient visits.Setting
Inpatient rehabilitation unit in a large urban university hospital.Participants
Adult patients (N=148) receiving acute inpatient care, predominantly for closed head injury.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
We examined the membership of patients with traumatic brain injury in various “vulnerable group” clusters (eg, homeless, unemployed, racial/ethnic minority) and characterized the rehabilitation outcomes of patients (eg, duration of stay, changes in FIM scores between admission to inpatient stay and discharge).Results
The cluster analysis revealed 4 major clusters (ie, clusters A–D) separated by vulnerable group memberships, with distinct durations of stay and FIM gains during their stay. Cluster B, the largest cluster and also consisting of mostly racial/ethnic minorities, had the shortest duration of hospital stay and one of the lowest FIM improvements among the 4 clusters despite higher FIM scores at admission. In cluster C, also consisting of mostly ethnic minorities with multiple socioeconomic status vulnerabilities, patients were characterized by low cognitive FIM scores at admission and the longest duration of stay, and they showed good improvement in FIM scores.Conclusions
Application of clustering techniques to inpatient data identified distinct clusters of patients who may experience differences in their rehabilitation outcome due to their membership in various “at-risk” groups. The results identified patients (ie, cluster B, with minority patients; and cluster D, with elderly patients) who attain below-average gains in brain injury rehabilitation. The results also suggested that systemic (eg, duration of stay) or clinical service improvements (eg, staff's language skills, ability to offer substance abuse therapy, provide appropriate referrals, liaise with intensive social work services, or plan subacute rehabilitation phase) could be beneficial for acute settings. Stronger recruitment, training, and retention initiatives for bilingual and multiethnic professionals may also be considered to optimize gains from acute inpatient rehabilitation after traumatic brain injury. 相似文献20.
