Background
Home-based therapy optimizing biomechanics and neuromuscular control is increasingly recognized as a treatment option for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). However, its impact on pain, function, and gait is limited among patients in a metropolitan area.Objective
To evaluate the change of pain, function, and gait parameters with home-based therapy with the use of footwear-generated biomechanical manipulation and perturbation training in a population with CNSLBP in a metropolitan area.Design
Prospective observational study.Setting
Outpatient rehabilitation clinic at an academic teaching hospital.Participants
One hundred sixteen patients with CNSLBP for more than 6 months.Intervention
Six months of home-based therapy with a biomechanical device using 4 modular elements attached to a foot-worn platform.Main Outcome Measures
Instrumental gait analysis (gait velocity, step length, single limb support phase % of gait cycle), Numeric Rating Scale for pain, and Oswestry Disability Questionnaire Index for pain and function.Results
Only 43 patients (37.1%) completed the study. Among 43 patients, mean gait velocity increased from 86.6 ± 20.7 to 99.7 ± 22.1 cm/s (P < .0001) in 6 months. Mean left step length increased from 51.1 ± 8.4 to 54.8 ± 9.8 cm (P < .0001). Mean right step length increased from 51.0 ± 7.9 to 55.4 ± 9.0 cm (P < .0001). Mean single limb support increased from 36.4 ± 2.8 to 37.2 ± 2.5%, (P = .208) in the right side and from 36.6 ± 3.0 to 37.8 ± 4.4%, (P = .019) in the left side. Median Oswestry Disability Questionnaire Index score improved from 28 (18-44; interquartile range) to 17 (10-35) (P = .045). Mean Numeric Rating Scale for back pain improved from 7.7 ± 1.8 to 3.3 ± 3.1 (P < .0001).Conclusion
At 6 months, patients with CNSLBP undergoing home-based therapy with footwear-generated biomechanical manipulation and perturbation training demonstrated significant improvement of objective gait parameters, pain, and function.Level of Evidence

Background
Pain neuroscience education is effective in chronic pain management. Central sensitization (ie, generalized hypersensitivity) is often explained as the underlying mechanism for chronic pain, because of its clinical relevance and influence on pain severity, prognosis, and treatment outcome.Objectives
To examine whether patients with more or fewer symptoms of central sensitization respond differently to pain neuroscience education.Design
A secondary analysis of a multicenter, triple-blind randomized controlled trial.Setting
University Hospital Ghent and University Hospital Brussels, Belgium.Patients
120 persons with chronic spinal pain with high or low self-reported symptoms of central sensitization.Interventions
Pain neuroscience education or neck/back school. Both interventions were delivered in 3 sessions: 1 group session, 1 online session, and 1 individual session.Main Outcome Measures
disability (primary), pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, illness perceptions, and hypervigilance.Results
Pain disability did not change in any group (P = .242). Regarding secondary outcomes: significant interaction effects were found for pain catastrophizing (P-values: P = .02 to P = .05), kinesiophobia (P = .02), and several aspects of illness perceptions (chronicity: P = .002; negative consequences: P = .02; personal control: P = .02; and cyclicity: P = .02). Bonferroni post hoc analysis showed that only the pain neuroscience education group (high and low self-reported symptoms of central sensitization) showed a significant improvement regarding kinesiophobia (P < .001, medium effect sizes), perceived negative consequence (P = .004 and P < .001, small to medium effect sizes), and perceived cyclicity of the illness (P = .01 and P = .01, small effect sizes). Pain catastrophizing only significantly reduced in people with high self-reported central sensitization symptoms (P < .05).Conclusion
Pain neuroscience education is useful in all patients with chronic spinal pain as it improves kinesiophobia and the perceived negative consequences and cyclicity of the illness regardless the self-reported signs of central sensitization. Regarding pain catastrophizing, pain neuroscience education is more effective in patients with high self-reported symptoms of central sensitization.Level of Evidence

Background
A timely return to competitive sport is a primary goal of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). It is not known whether an accelerated return to sport increases the risk of early-onset knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Objective
To determine whether an accelerated return to sport post-ACLR (ie, <10 months) is associated with increased odds of early KOA features on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 1 year after surgery and to evaluate the relationship between an accelerated return to sport and early KOA features stratified by type of ACL injury (isolated or concurrent chondral/meniscal injury) and lower limb function (good or poor).Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Private radiology clinic and university laboratory.Participants
A total of 111 participants (71 male; mean age 30 ± 8 years) 1-year post-ACLR.Methods
Participants completed a self-report questionnaire regarding postoperative return-to-sport data (specific sport, postoperative month first returned), and isotropic 3-T MRI scans were obtained.Outcome Measures
Early KOA features (bone marrow, cartilage and meniscal lesions, and osteophytes) assessed with the MRI OA Knee Score. Logistic regression analyses evaluated the odds of early KOA features with an accelerated return to sport (<10 months post-ACLR versus ≥10 months or no return to sport) in the total cohort and stratified by type of ACL injury and lower limb function.Results
Forty-six (41%) participants returned to competitive sport <10 months post-ACLR. An early return to sport was associated with significantly increased odds of bone marrow lesions (odds ratio [OR] 2.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.3-6.0) but not cartilage (OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.5-2.6) or meniscal lesions (OR 0.8, 95% CI 0.4-1.8) or osteophytes (OR 0.6, 95% CI 0.3-1.4). In those with poor lower limb function, early return to sport exacerbated the odds of bone marrow lesions (OR 4.6, 95% CI 1.6-13.5), whereas stratified analyses for type of ACL injury did not reach statistical significance.Conclusion
An accelerated return to sport, particularly in the presence of poor lower limb function, may be implicated in posttraumatic KOA development.Level of evidence

Background
A variety of tests have been proposed to measure the performance of neck flexor muscles, but head-to-head comparisons hardly have been documented.Objective
To compare reliability indexes, construct validity, and ability to discriminate between individuals with and without neck pain of 4 muscle tests (deep neck flexors endurance test [DNFET]; 2 variations of the craniocervical flexion test [CCFT1 and CCFT2]; and dynamometry).Design
Reliability and validity study.Setting
General community.Participants
A total of 66 participants, 33 with chronic idiopathic neck pain (mean ± standard deviation pain intensity: 3.2 ± 1.9) and 33 without neck pain, from the general population.Methods/Main Outcome
Neck muscle functioning was assessed with the CCFT1, the CCFT2, the DNFET, and dynamometry on 2 separate sessions. Participants with neck pain also were assessed for pain intensity, disability, pain catastrophizing, and fear of movement.Results
Relative reliability of all tests was at least moderate (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥ 0.62), whereas measurement error was high, particularly for the DNFET (95% minimum detectable change ≥ 23.00 seconds). All tests showed moderate correlation (r ≥ 0.3) with at least 2 pain-related measures and moderate-to-strong correlations with each other. Principal component analysis retained 2 factors explaining 68%-73% of the variance of the 4 muscle tests. Significant differences between groups were found for the DNFET and dynamometry (P < .05).Conclusion
The reliability indexes suggest that the DNFET and the CCFT may be more appropriate for group comparisons than for individual comparisons. The 4 tests seem to have construct validity, but they also seem to measure slightly different constructs.Level of Evidence

Background
Orthoses commonly are prescribed to children with cerebral palsy (CP) to provide foot correction and to improve ambulatory function. Immediate effects of ankle foot orthosis (AFOs) have been investigated, but long-term kinematic effects are lacking clinical evidence.Objective
To determine changes in 3-dimensional ankle and foot segment motion in pediatric patients with CP between initial and follow-up visits (18-month average time differences) in both barefoot gait and gait with their AFO. We also investigated intravisit changes between barefoot and AFO gait.Design
A prospective cohort study.Setting
Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Medical College of Wisconsin.Patients
A total of 23 children with CP, mean age 10.5 years (6.2-18.1 years) were clinically prescribed either a solid ankle foot orthotic (SAFO), hinged ankle foot orthotic (HAFO), or supramalleolar orthotic.Methods
Holes were cut in the study orthoses so that electromagnetic markers could be directly placed on the skin. A 6-foot segment model was used.Outcome Measurements
Kinematic and kinetic data were recorded for each patient’s initial and follow-up visit (18-month follow-up average, 15-20 months range).Results
For the SAFO group (gait with AFO), a significant decrease in dorsiflexion was found between the initial and third visit (P = .008). Furthermore, the SAFO group (barefoot gait) had an increased eversion at the midfoot for most of the gait cycle (P < .008). Sagittal forefoot range of motion was reduced for all 3 groups between the barefoot and AFO groups.Conclusion
The use of AFOs long term either maintained or improved foot deformities or dysfunction.Level of Evidence

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
There are no guidelines on the ideal time to inject botulinum toxin type A (BT-A) for lower leg spasticity in stroke patients. An early injection may produce unwanted weakness, interfering with gait recovery.Objective
To evaluate whether the outcomes after BT-A injection for plantarflexion spasticity can be different according to stroke chronicity.Design
A secondary analysis study from a double-blinded, randomized trial with group reclassification according to stroke chronicity.Setting
Two rehabilitation centers.Participants
Stroke participants (n = 40) with plantar flexor spasticity, treated with BT-A (200 units) into the gastrocnemius muscle.Methods
Outcome parameters were reanalyzed serially using 2-way repeated measures of analysis of variance (ANOVA), at baseline and 2, 4, and 8 weeks postinjection. Subjects were reclassified into 3 groups: early, within 6 months (n = 12); middle, between 6 months and 1 year (n = 14); and late, between 1 and 2 years from stroke onset (n = 12).Main Outcome Measures
The Modified Ashworth Scale, clonus scale, 10-m walking test, ABILOCO, and the Functional Ambulation Category.Results
The 2-way repeated measures of ANOVA showed improvement in gait and spasticity after injection in the 3 groups. Significant improvement in the Modified Ashworth Scale (P < .001) was observed, starting from the post–2 week injection period. Improvement of gait as assessed by the functional measurement ABILOCO and the Functional Ambulation Category (P < .001) were observed in all 3 groups, mostly at the post–8 week injection period.Conclusions
Our serial measurements of the outcome parameters indicated that BT-A could be expected to lead to consistent improvement in both the muscle tone and gait quality in those with plantar flexor spasticity regardless of stroke chronicity, including those injected as early as within the first 6 months.Level of Evidence

Background
In young and middle-aged adults with and without hip deformity, hip pain receives treatment focused primarily related to hip structure. Because this hip pain may be chronic, these patients develop other coexisting, modifiable disorders related to pain that may go undiagnosed in this young and active population, including insomnia and anxiety.Objective
The objective of this study was to compare assessments of insomnia and anxiety in young and middle-aged adults presenting with hip pain with no greater than minimal osteoarthritis (OA) compared to asymptomatic healthy controls. Comparisons between types of hip deformity and no hip deformity in hip pain patients were performed to assess whether patients with specific hip deformities were likely to have insomnia or anxiety as a cofounding disorder to their hip pain.Design
Prospective case series with control comparison.Setting
Two tertiary university physiatry outpatient clinics.Participants
A total of 50 hip pain patients aged 18-40 years and 50 gender- and age-matched healthy controls.Methods
Patients were enrolled if 2 provocative hip tests were found on physical examination and hip radiographs had no or minimal OA. Radiographic hip deformity measurements were completed by an independent examiner. Comparisons of insomnia and anxiety were completed between 50 hip pain patients and 50 controls and between patients with different types of hip deformity.Main Outcome Measures
Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and Pain Anxiety Symptoms Scale (PASS).Results
A total of 50 hip pain patients (11 male and 39 female) with mean age of 31.2 ± 8.31 years enrolled. Hip pain patients slept significantly less (P = .001) per night than controls. Patients experienced significantly greater insomnia (P = .0001) and anxiety (P = .0001) compared to controls. No differences were found in insomnia and anxiety scores between hip pain patients with and without hip deformity or between different types of hip deformity.Conclusion
Hip pain patients with radiographs demonstrating minimal to no hip arthritis with and without hip deformity experience significant cofounding yet modifiable disorders of sleep and anxiety. If recognized early in presentation, treatment of insomnia and anxiety ultimately will improve outcomes for hip patients treated either conservatively or surgically for their hip disorder.Level of Evidence

Background
Low back pain (LBP) is commonly associated with paraspinal muscle dysfunctions. A method to study deep lumbar paraspinal (ie, multifidus) muscle function and neuromuscular activation pattern is intramuscular electromyography (EMG). Previous studies have shown that the procedure does not significantly impact muscle function during activities involving low-level muscle contractions. However, it is currently unknown how muscular function and activation are affected during high-exertion contractions.Objective
To examine the effects of insertion and presence of fine-wire EMG electrodes in the lumbar multifidus on muscle strength, endurance, and activation profiles during high-exertion spinal extension muscle contractions.Design
Single-blinded, repeated measures intervention trial.Setting
University clinical research laboratoryParticipants
Twenty individuals between the ages of 18-40 free of recent and current back pain.Methods
Muscle performance was assessed during 3 conditions (with [WI] and without [WO] presence of intramuscular electrodes, and insertion followed by removal [IO]). Isometric spinal extension strength was assessed with a motorized dynamometer. Muscle endurance was assessed using the Sorensen test with neuromuscular activation profiles analyzed during the endurance test.Main Outcome Measurements
Spinal extensor muscle strength, endurance, and activation.Results
Our data showed no significant difference in isometric strength (P = .20) between the 3 conditions. A significant difference in muscle endurance was found (P = .03). Post hoc analysis showed that the muscle endurance in the IO condition was significantly higher than the WO condition (161.3 ± 58.3 versus 142.1 ± 48.2 seconds, P = .04), likely due to a learning effect. All 3 conditions elicited minimal pain (range 0-4/10) and comparable muscle activation profiles.Conclusion
Our findings suggested the sonographically guided insertion and presence of fine-wire intramuscular EMG electrodes in the lumbar multifidus muscles had no significant impact on spinal extension muscle function. This study provides evidence that implementing intramuscular EMG does not affect muscle performance during high-exertion contractions in individuals with no current back pain.Level of Evidence

Background
Preoperative progressive resistance training (PRT) is controversial in patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA), because of the concern that it may exacerbate knee joint pain and effusion.Objective
To examine whether preoperative PRT initiated 5 weeks prior to TKA would exacerbate pain and knee effusion, and would allow a progressively increased training load throughout the training period that would subsequently increase muscle strength.Design
Secondary analyses from a randomized controlled trial (NCT01647243).Setting
University Hospital and a Regional Hospital.Patients
A total of 30 patients who were scheduled for TKA due to osteoarthritis and assigned as the intervention group.Methods
Patients underwent unilateral PRT (3 sessions per week). Exercise loading was 12 repetitions maximum (RM) with progression toward 8 RM. The training program consisted of 6 exercises performed unilaterally.Main outcome measures
Before and after each training session, knee joint pain was rated on an 11-point scale, effusion was assessed by measuring the knee joint circumference, and training load was recorded. The first and last training sessions were initiated by 1 RM testing of unilateral leg press, unilateral knee extension, and unilateral knee flexion.Results
The median pain change score from before to after each training session was 0 at all training sessions. The average increase in knee joint effusion across the 12 training sessions was a mean 0.16 cm ± 0.23 cm. No consistent increase in knee joint effusion after training sessions during the training period was found (P = .21). Training load generally increased, and maximal muscle strength improved as follows: unilateral leg press: 18% ± 30% (P = .03); unilateral knee extension: 81% ± 156% (P < .001); and unilateral knee flexion: 53% ± 57% (P < .001).Conclusion
PRT of the affected leg initiated shortly before TKA does not exacerbate knee joint pain and effusion, despite a substantial progression in loading and increased muscle strength. Concerns for side effects such as pain and effusion after PRT seem unfounded.Level of Evidence

Background
Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most disabling syndromes in children. To our knowledge, there has not yet been any reported evaluation by ultrasonography of the effect of CP on distal femoral cartilage. The value of understanding this effect on cartilage is that sonographic evaluation of cartilage thickness may help physicians to predict the joint health of these children.Objective
To determine whether femoral cartilage thickness in patients with CP is different from that in healthy control subjects.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
National tertiary rehabilitation center.Patients
The study included 40 patients with diplegic CP (23 male and 17 female) and 51 healthy control subjects (29 male and 22 female).Methods
Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded. Cartilage thicknesses were measured.Main Outcome Measure
Cartilage thickness measurements were taken from the medial and lateral condyles, and intercondylar areas of both knees.Results
Both groups were similar in terms of age, gender, and weight (P > .05). The mean cartilage thickness measurements of the medial condyle and intercondylar area of knees in the CP group were significantly less than those in the healthy control group (all P < .05). There was moderate negative correlation between age and all femoral cartilage thickness measurements in the CP group. There was no correlation between age and femoral cartilage thickness measurements in the healthy group. There was a negative correlation between Gross Motor Functional Classification System levels and cartilage thickness in the CP group. The highest cartilage thickness measurements were detected in level 1 patients, and the lowest measurements were detected in level 5 patients.Conclusion
This study showed that patients with CP have a thinner femoral cartilage than healthy control subjects. Management of patients with CP should include close surveillance.Level of Evidence

Background
Several barriers exist in the recruitment of individuals with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). The current study is the first to examine whether crowdsourcing, which has been used in other clinical populations, is useful in the recruitment of those with mTBI.Objective
To examine whether Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk), an online crowdsourcing platform, is a useful tool in the recruitment of individuals with a history of mTBI and to examine the injury and psychological characteristics of individuals who report a history of mTBI.Design
Retrospective, cross-sectional study.Setting
Online.Participants
A total of 468 MTurk workers (215 who reported mTBI history on the screener, 253 who did not).Methods
Comparison of MTurk participants (“workers”) who report a history of mTBI on a one-item screener and/or a more comprehensive mTBI assessment tool (ie, the Ohio State University Traumatic Brain Injury Identification Method [OSU TBI-ID]) with workers who do not report mTBI history.Main Outcome Measures
Prevalence rates of mTBI in the MTurk sample (one-item screener and/or OSU TBI-ID), associations between self-reported mTBI with history of psychological disorders and current psychological symptoms (ie, selected Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scales).Results
Of workers who reported a history of mTBI on the screener, 169 (79%) met mTBI criteria on the OSU TBI-ID. Compared with those who denied history of mTBI on both the screener and OSU TBI-ID, workers who reported a history of mTBI on both measures were more likely to have a history of diagnosed depression (P = .008), anxiety (P = .007) or attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (P = .04), and were more likely to currently experience cognitive (P = .01) and sleep disorder symptoms (P = .003).Conclusions
Workers recruited via MTurk with history of mTBI show similar rates of psychological disorder history and current symptoms to samples recruited via noncrowdsourcing methods in previous studies. MTurk may be a useful recruitment tool in the mTBI population and should be used in future studies of outcomes after mTBI.Level of Evidence

Background
Increase in visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is an independent risk for mortality and other health-related comorbidities.Objective
To examine the gender differences in VAT and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) cross-sectional areas (CSA) between men and women with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). The differences in the distribution of central adiposity were used to determine the association of VAT and SAT to metabolic dysfunction after SCI.Design
Cross-sectional design.Setting
Hospital-based study.Participants
Sixteen individuals (8 men and 8 women) with motor complete SCI were matched based on age, time since injury, and level of injury.Methods
Anthropometrics, dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and magnetic resonance imaging were captured to measure lean mass, fat mass (FM), percentage FM, VAT, and SAT CSAs. Basal metabolic rate was measured, and intravenous glucose tolerance test and lipid panel were performed.Main Outcome Measurements
VAT, SAT, and metabolic profile.Results
SAT CSA was 1.6 -1.75 times greater in the upper and lower trunks in women compared to men with SCI (P < .05). VAT CSA was 1.8-2.6 times greater in the upper and lower trunks in men compared to women with SCI (P < .05). VAT adjusted to body weight was greater in men compared to women with SCI. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was positively related to SAT and negatively related to VAT. Glucose effectiveness was negatively related to lower trunk SAT (r = ?0.60, P = .02). HDL-C ratio and triglycerides were positively related to upper VAT, lower VAT, and VAT:SAT ratio.Conclusion
Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that there is a gender dimorphism in central adiposity in persons with chronic SCI. This gender dimorphism in central adipose tissue distribution may explain the higher prevalence of metabolic dysfunction in men with SCI, especially, the decrease in the HDL-C profile.Level of Evidence

Background
Stroke is a primary cause of death and disability in upper-middle–income countries such as Colombia. Given the lack of comprehensive rehabilitation for stroke patients in Colombia, there is a need to assess longitudinal mental health problems poststroke in this region.Objective
To compare the course of mental health in stroke patients to healthy controls over the first year poststroke in Ibague, Colombia.Design
Cross-sectional study.Setting
The Psychological Attention Center of Antonio Nariño University in Ibague, Colombia.Participants
Stroke patients (n = 50) and age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 50).Methods
Patients and controls completed self-report Spanish versions of demographic information, injury-related characteristics, and mental health questionnairesMain Outcome Measurements
Outcomes assessed included mental health (depression, anxiety, and stress) at 3, 6, and 12 months poststroke.Results
Hierarchical linear models suggested that stroke patients had worse depression and anxiety over time than controls (P < .001). Among patients, depression and anxiety decreased over time (P < .001), whereas stress increased over time (P < .01). The findings suggest that although anxiety and depression improved over time in stroke patients, their mental health remained significantly lower than that of controls.Conclusions
This is the first study to examine the course of mental health over the first year poststroke in Latin America, specifically in Ibague, Colombia. Despite the improvements in anxiety and depression over the first year poststroke, patient anxiety and depression were still worse in comparison to those in healthy controls. The current findings indicate a need for rehabilitation services in Colombia, especially targeting mental health issues.Level of Evidence

Background
Falls are a common adverse event among people with stroke. Previous studies investigating risk of falls after stroke have relied primarily on retrospective fall history ranging from 6-12 months recall, with inconsistent findings.Objectives
To identify factors and balance assessment tools that are associated with number of falls in individuals with chronic stroke.Design
Secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial.Setting
Multisite academic and clinical institutions.Participants
Data from 181 participants with stroke (age 60.67 ± 11.77 years, post stroke 4.51 ± 4.78 years) were included.Methods
Study participants completed baseline testing and were prospectively asked about falls. A multivariate negative binomial regression was used to identify baseline predictive factors predicting falls: age, endurance (6 minute walk test), number of medications, motor control (Fugl-Meyer lower extremity score), depression (Patient Health Questionnaire-9), physical activity (number of steps per week), and cognition (Mini Mental Status Exam score). A second negative binomial regression analysis was used to identify baseline balance assessment scores predicting falls: gait velocity (comfortable 10 Meter Walk), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed Up and Go (TUG), and Functional Reach Test (FRT). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and area under the curve (AUC) were used to determine the cutoff scores for significant predictors of recurrent falls.Main Outcome Measurement
The number of falls during the 42-week follow-up period.Results
Baseline measures that significantly predicted the number of falls included increased number of medications, higher depression scores, and decreased FRT. Cutoff scores for the number of medications were 8.5 with an AUC of 0.68. Depression scores differentiated recurrent fallers at a threshold of 2.5 scores with an AUC of 0.62. FRT differentiated recurrent fallers at a threshold of 18.15 cm with an AUC of 0.66.Conclusions
Number of medications, depression scores, and decreased FRT distance at baseline were associated with increased number of falls. Increased medications might indicate multiple comorbidities or polypharmacy effect; increased depression scores may indicate psychological status; and decreased functional reach distance could indicate dynamic balance impairments.Level of Evidence

Background
Mental health problems are common after pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI). Many patients in need of mental health services do not receive them, but studies have not consistently used prospective and objective methods or followed samples for more than 1 year.Objective
To examine adolescents’ use of mental health services after TBI.Design
Secondary analysis from multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial.Setting
Five level 1 U.S. trauma centers.Participants
Adolescents aged 12-17 years with moderate-to-severe TBI were recruited for a randomized clinical trial (n = 132 at baseline, 124 at 6 months, 113 at 12 months, and 101 at 18 months).Methods
Participants were randomly assigned to counselor-assisted problem-solving or Internet resource comparison. Follow-up assessments were completed at 6, 12, and 18 months after baseline. Generalized estimating equations with a logit link were used to examine use of mental health services. Treatment group and participant impairment were examined as predictors of use.Main Outcome Measurements
Mental health care use was measured with the Service Assessment for Children and Adolescents; daily functioning and clinical outcome with the Child and Adolescent Functional Assessment Scale; behavioral and emotional functioning with the Child Behavior Checklist; and executive dysfunction with the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function.Results
Use of mental health services ranged from 22% to 31% in the 2 years post-TBI. Participants with impairments were about 3 times more likely than those without impairments to receive services (odds ratio 4.61; 95% confidence interval 2.61-8.14; P < .001). However, 50%-68% of patients identified as impaired had unmet mental health care needs.Conclusions
Less than one half of adolescents with behavioral health needs after TBI received mental health services. Future studies are needed to examine barriers associated with seeking services after TBI and psychoeducation as preventive care for this population.Level of Evidence

Background
Gait is a complex process that involves coordinating motor and sensory systems through higher-order cognitive processes. Walking with a prosthesis after lower extremity amputation challenges these processes. However, the factors that influence the cognitive-motor interaction in gait among lower extremity amputees has not been evaluated. To assess the interaction of cognition and mobility, individuals must be evaluated using the dual-task paradigm.Objective
To investigate the effect of etiology and time with prosthesis on dual-task performance in those with lower extremity amputations.Design

Sixty-four individuals (aged 58.20±12.27 years; 74.5% male) were stratified into 3 groups; 1 group of new prosthetic ambulators with transtibial amputations (NewPA) and 2 groups of established ambulators: transtibial amputations of vascular etiology (TTA-vas), transtibial amputations of nonvascular etiology (TTA-nonvas).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Time to complete the L Test measured functional mobility under single and dual-task conditions. A serial arithmetic task (subtraction by 3s) was paired with the L Test to create the dual-task test condition. Single-task performance on the cognitive arithmetic task was also recorded. Dual-task costs (DTCs) were calculated for performance on the cognitive and gait tasks. Analysis of variance determined differences between groups. A performance-resource operating characteristic (POC) graph was used to graphically display DTCs.Results
Gait performance was worse under dual-task conditions for all groups. Gait was significantly slower under dual-task conditions for the TTA-vas (P < .001), TTA-nonvas (P < .001), and NewPA groups (P < .001). However, there was no between-group difference for gait DTC. The 3 groups tested did not differ in the amount of cognitive DTC (DTCcog). Dual-task conditions also had a negative impact on cognitive task performance for the TTA-nonvas (P = .02) and NewPA groups (P < .001). The TTA-vas group had a slight improvement during dual-task conditions and has a positive DTCcog as a result (P = .04). However, no between-group differences were seen for DTCcog. The POC graph demonstrated that many individuals had a decrease in performance on both tasks; however, the gait task was prioritized for the majority (56.2%) of participants.Conclusions
Cognitive distractions while walking pose challenges to individuals regardless of etiology, level of amputation, or time with the prosthesis. These findings highlight that individuals are at risk for adverse events when performing multiple tasks while walking.Level of Evidence
