Background
Pharmacogenomic variability can contribute to differences in pharmacokinetics and clinical responses. Pediatric patients with cerebral palsy with genetic variations have not been studied for these potential differences.Objective
To determine the genetic sources of variation in oral baclofen clearance and clinical responses.Design
Pharmacogenomic add-on study to determine variability in oral baclofen clearance and clinical responses.Setting
Multicenter study based in academic pediatric cerebral palsy clinics.Participants
A total of 49 patients with cerebral palsy who had participated in an oral baclofen pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic study.Methods or Interventions
Of 53 participants in a pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic trial, 49 underwent genetic analysis of 307 key genes and 4535 single-nucleotide polymorphisms involved in drug absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. Associations between genotypes and phenotypes of baclofen disposition (weight-corrected and allometrically scaled clearance) and clinical endpoints (improvement from baseline in mean hamstring Modified Tardieu Scale scores from baseline for improvement of R1 spastic catch) were determined by univariate analysis with correction for multiple testing by false discovery rate.Main Outcome Measurements
Primary outcome measures were the genotypic and phenotypic variability of oral baclofen in allometrically scaled clearance and change in the Modified Tardieu Scale angle compared to baseline.Results
After univariate analysis of the data, the SNP of ABCC9 (rs11046232, heterozygous AT versus the reference TT genotype) was associated with a 2-fold increase in oral baclofen clearance (mean 0.51 ± standard deviation 0.05 L/h/kg for the AT genotype versus 0.25 ± 0.07 L/h/kg for the TT genotype, adjusted P < .001). Clinical responses were associated with decreased spasticity by Modified Tardieu Scale in allelic variants with SNPs ABCC12, SLC28A1, and PPARD.Conclusions
Genetic variation in ABCC9 affecting oral baclofen clearance highlights the need for continued studies of genetic polymorphisms to better characterize variable drug response in children with cerebral palsy. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in ABCC12, SLC28A1, and PPARD were associated with varied responses, which warrants further investigation to determine their effect on spasticity.Level of Evidence

Background
Understanding risk factors associated with readmission after lower extremity amputation may indicate targets for reducing readmission.Objective
To evaluate factors associated with all-cause 30-day readmission after lower extremity amputation procedures.Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
Inpatient.Patients
A total of 2480 patients who had lower extremity amputations between 2008 and 2014 were selected from national electronic medical record database, Cerner Health Facts.Methods
Univariate analysis of demographics, diagnoses, postoperative medications, and laboratory results were examined. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify characteristics independently associated with readmission overall and by amputation location—above the knee (AKA) or below the knee (BKA).Main Outcome Measurement
Readmission within 30 days of discharge.Results
More than one half of patients (1403, 57%) underwent BKA and 1077 (43%) underwent AKA. Readmission within 30 days was 22% (24.1% BKA versus 19.4% AKA, P = .005). In multivariable logistic regression, factors associated with 30-day readmission after any amputation included BKA (odds ratio [OR] 1.41, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-1.74, P = .001), hypertension (OR 1.70, 95% CI 1.33-2.16), surgical-site infections (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.02-2.04), heart failure (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.10-1.75), discharge to a skilled nursing facility (OR 1.88, 95% CI 1.41-2.51), and emergency/urgent procedures (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.04-1.67). At readmission, 13.3% of patients with a BKA required an AKA revision, and 21.3% had a diagnosis of surgical-site infection.Conclusions
Risk factors for readmission after any amputation included cardiac comorbidities, associated postoperative medications, and discharge to a skilled nursing facility. The finding that acute arterial embolism or thrombosis and a BKA during the index admission was highly associated with readmission, combined with the high rates of 30-day conversion to an AKA when readmitted, suggests these patients more often develop stump complications or may be undertreated during the initial hospitalization.Level of Evidence

Background
Theoretically, patients with only one functional arm secondary to contralateral amputation or paralysis will subject their only functional upper extremity to increased loads. This could become an issue after reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). However, there are no reported data on the implant survival or function for patients with a nonfunctional contralateral upper extremity.Objective
To report the outcomes of RSA in patients with contralateral upper extremity amputation or paralysis.Design
Retrospective case series.Setting
Tertiary university hospital.Patients
All patients who underwent RSA between January 2004 and December 2013.Methods
Of 1335 RSA procedures performed, 5 patients had a minimum 2-year follow-up and nonfunctional contralateral upper extremity. There were 3 men and 2 women, with a mean (standard deviation) age and length of follow-up of 72.4 (7.5) years and 56.4 (24-132) months. Two of the patients had a contralateral upper extremity amputation, and the other 3 had contralateral upper extremity paralysis as a result of stroke, traumatic brain injury, and traumatic brachial plexus injury at birth.Main Outcomes
Pain, range of motion, functional scores (Simple Shoulder Test, American Shoulder and Elbow Society and Quick-Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand), satisfaction, complications/reoperations, and radiographic loosening.Results
RSA resulted in substantial improvement in pain (P = .008), forward flexion (P = .02), and external range of motion (P = .01). The mean (standard deviation) Simple Shoulder Test, American Shoulder and Elbow Society, and Quick-Disability of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scores were 9.8 (1.3), 82 (13), and 17.8 (13.4), respectively. The results were excellent in 3, satisfactory in 1, and unsatisfactory in 1 patient (due only to external rotation limited to 10°). Subjectively, all 5 patients felt greatly improved and stated they would undergo RSA again. There were no complications or reoperations. There were no shoulders with component loosening.Conclusions
RSA seems to be a safe, effective, and successful surgical procedure for patients with a nonfunctional contralateral upper extremity. Studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up will hopefully validate the present findings.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
People with spina bifida (SB) face personal and environmental barriers to exercise that contribute to physical inactivity, obesity, risk of cardiovascular disease, and poor aerobic fitness. The WHEEL rating of perceived exertion (RPE) Scale was validated in people with SB to monitor exercise intensity. However, the psycho-physiological link between RPE and ventilatory breakpoint (Vpt), the group-normalized perceptual response, has not been determined and would provide a starting point for aerobic exercise in this cohort.Objectives
The primary objectives were to determine the group-normalized RPE equivalent to Vpt based on WHEEL and Borg Scale ratings and to develop a regression model to predict Borg Scale (conditional metric) from WHEEL Scale (criterion metric). The secondary objective was to create a table of interchangeable values between WHEEL and Borg Scale RPE for people with SB performing a load incremental stress test.Design
Cross-sectional observational.Setting
University laboratory.Participants
Twenty-nine participants with SB.Methods
Participants completed a load incremented arm ergometer exercise stress test. WHEEL and Borg Scale ratings were recorded the last 15 seconds of each 1-minute test phase.Outcome Measures
WHEEL and Borg Scale ratings, metabolic measures (eg, oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production). Determined Vpt via plots of oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production against time.Results
Nineteen of 29 participants achieved Vpt (Group A). The mean ± standard deviation peak oxygen consumption at Vpt for Group A was 61.76 ± 16.26. The WHEEL and Borg Scale RPE at Vpt were 5.74 ± 2.58 (range 0-10) and 13.95 ± 3.50 (range 6-19), respectively. A significant linear regression model was developed (Borg Scale rating = 1.22 × WHEEL Scale rating + 7.14) and used to create a WHEEL-to-Borg Scale RPE conversion table.Conclusion
A significant linear regression model and table of interchangeable values was developed for participants with SB. The group-normalized RPE (WHEEL, 5.74; Borg, 13.95) can be used to prescribe and self-regulate arm ergometer exercise intensity approximating the Vpt.Level of Evidence

Background
Dextromethorphan 20 mg / quinidine 10 mg (DM/Q) was approved to treat pseudobulbar affect (PBA) based on phase 3 trials conducted in participants with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or multiple sclerosis. PRISM II evaluated DM/Q effectiveness, safety, and tolerability for PBA following stroke, dementia, or traumatic brain injury (TBI).Objective
To report results from the TBI cohort of PRISM II, including a TBI-specific functional scale.Design
Open-label trial evaluating twice-daily DM/Q over 90 days.Study Participants
Adults (n = 120) with a clinical diagnosis of PBA secondary to nonpenetrating TBI; stable psychiatric medications were allowed.Methods
PRISM II was an open-label, 12-week trial enrolling adults with PBA secondary to dementia, stroke, or TBI (NCT01799941). All study participants received DM/Q 20/10 mg twice daily. Study visits occurred at baseline and at day 30 and day 90.Setting
150 U.S. centers.Main Outcome Measurements
Primary endpoint was change in Center for Neurologic Study–Lability Scale (CNS-LS) score from baseline to day 90. Secondary outcomes included PBA episode count, Clinical and Patient Global Impression of Change (CGI-C; PGI-C), Quality of Life–Visual Analog Scale (QOL-VAS), treatment satisfaction, Neurobehavioral Functioning Inventory (NFI), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).Results
DM/Q-treated participants showed significant mean (SD) reductions in CNS-LS from baseline (day 30, –5.6 [5.2]; day 90, –8.5 [5.2]; both, P<.001). Compared with baseline, PBA episodes were reduced by 61.3% and 78.5% at days 30 and 90 (both, P<.001). At day 90, 78% and 73% of study participants had “much improved” or “very much improved” on the CGI-C and PGI-C. QOL-VAS scores were significantly reduced from baseline (–3.7 [3.3], P<.001). Mean (SD) PHQ-9 scores improved compared to baseline at day 30 (–3.2 [5.3], P<.001) and 90 (–5.2 [6.4], P<.001). NFI T scores were significantly improved (P<.001), whereas MMSE scores were unchanged. Adverse events (AEs) were consistent with the known DM/Q safety profile; the most common AE was diarrhea (8.3%).Conclusions
DM/Q was well tolerated, and it significantly reduced PBA episodes in study participants with TBI. Changes in CNS-LS and PBA episode count were similar to changes with DM/Q in phase 3 trials.Level of Evidence

Background
Spondylolysis with and without anterolisthesis is the most common cause of structural back pain in children and adolescents, but few predictive factors have been confirmed. An association between abnormal sacropelvic orientation and both spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis has been supported in the literature. Sacral slope and other sacropelvic measurements are easily accessible variables that could aid clinicians in assessing active adolescents with low back pain, particularly when the diagnosis of spondylolysis is suspected.Objective
To examine the relationship between sacral slope and symptomatic spondylolysis in a cohort of active adolescents.Design
Case-control retrospective study.Setting
Academic outpatient physiatry practice.Patients
Seventy-four patients of primarily adolescent age (between 12 and 22 years old) with a chief complaint of low back pain and presence of lateral radiographs of the lumbar spine were enrolled. Cases (n = 37) were defined as subjects with evidence of spondylolysis on both radiograph and magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine. Controls (n = 37) were defined as subjects without spondylolysis.Methods
Using a single sagittal radiograph, taken with the patient standing, a fellowship-trained interventional spine physiatrist measured the sacral slope of each subject (angle between the superior plate of S1 and a horizontal reference on sagittal imaging of the lumbosacral spine). Ages and genders were collected from medical records.Main Outcome Measurements
The primary outcome was mean sacral slope. Mean sacral slope of cases was compared with mean sacral slope of controls with the Student t-test.Results
Ages ranged from 12 to 22 for both groups, with no significant differences in age between the groups (cases: 16.8 ± 2.3 years; controls: 17.7 ± 2.7 years). The patients with spondylolysis (cases) consisted of 29 male and 8 female patients, whereas those without spondylolysis (controls) consisted of 15 male and 21 female patients (gender details for 1 patient were not available). The mean sacral slope among cases was 42.4°, whereas the mean sacral slope among controls was 37.4°. The difference achieved significance (P = .014).Conclusions
The interdependence of positional parameters, such as sacral slope, with anatomic parameters, such as pelvic incidence, can affect lumbar lordosis and therefore upright positioning and loading of the spine. Sacral slope may be an important variable for clinicians to consider when caring for young athletes with low back pain, particularly when the index of suspicion for spondylolysis is high.Level of Evidence

Background
Exercise intensity is a particularly important determinant of physiological responses to exercise training in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Heart rate (HR) is commonly used as a practical way of prescribing and monitoring exercise as specific intensities based on a linear relationship between the percentage of maximum HR (%HRmax) and the percentage of maximum oxygen consumption (%VO2max) regardless of age, gender, or exercise mode.Objective
To examine the change in variability in the correlation between %HRmax and %VO2max after acute myocardial infarction.Design
Retrospective study.Setting
Regional cardio-cerebrovascular center at a tertiary hospital.Patients
A total of 66 patients were enrolled who were referred for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) after percutaneous intervention, and who had reached stage 3 of the modified Bruce Protocol (mBP) on an exercise tolerance test (ETT).Methods
There were 54 men and 12 women with an average age of 56.7 ± 9.48 years, ejection fraction (EF) of 56.4% ± 8.89%, and body mass index (BMI) of 24.73 ± 2.86 kg/m2. All patients participated in a 4-week outpatient CR program and underwent ETT with a gas analyzer to determine maximal heart rate and maximal oxygen consumption before CR and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after CR.Main Outcome Measurements
VO2max and HRmax were defined as the highest values attained during the ETT. The HR and VO2 values at each stage of the mBP were expressed as percentages of their maximum. %HRmax and %VO2max were calculated at each stage of the mBP.Results
The maximum METs and VO2max significantly improved at 1 month after CR, but not significantly at 3 and 6 months after CR. The correlation between VO2max and HRmax progressively changed in a favorable manner during CR. The relationship between %HRmax and %VO2max indicated a coefficient of variation before and 1, 3, and 6 months after of 0.800, 0.826, 0.832, and 0.880, respectively.Conclusions
This study showed that the %HRmax correlates better with the %VO2max in the late-stage post-AMI than in the initial stage. We should therefore set and monitor the exercise intensity using maximal oxygen consumption in the early stage of exercise training after onset of acute myocardial infarction.Level of Evidence

de Quervain tenosynovitis is a stenosing tenosynovitis of the first dorsal compartment of the wrist that can lead to painful functional impairment of the upper limb. This case presentation describes a rare adverse effect of corticosteroid injection (CSI) involving local skin atrophy and hypopigmentation with proximal linear extension. In this case, hypopigmentation developed from the wrist to beyond the elbow after CSI with ultrasound guidance and targeted placement of the injectate in the extensor tendon sheath of the first dorsal compartment. Dermal complications of CSI are rare but notable and potentially disfiguring events that should be discussed with every patient during the informed consent process before soft tissue CSIs.

Anterior knee pain, with or without joint crepitus during squatting, is the common clinical feature in the individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Altered lower extremity alignment and lumbo-pelvic-thigh muscles motor control is often associated with PFPS. Although current interventions recommend individual muscle activation and strength training exercises, the reported benefits of cocontraction?based exercises in PFPS is limited. This might be due to the long-standing hypothesis that exercise-induced cocontraction of thigh muscles may induce a negative effect by increasing the joint contact forces in individuals with knee osteoarthritis. This case report demonstrates that neuromuscular re-education performed with lumbo-pelvic-thigh muscle cocontraction may improve functional performance and reduce patellofemoral joint crepitus in PFPS. Further controlled trials are necessary to generalize these results

Synovial sarcoma is a slow-growing, intermediate- to high-grade neoplasm with extensive metastatic potential. Accurate diagnosis of synovial sarcoma may pose a challenge to providers because of its indolent growth and variable presentation. The findings of a soft-tissue, periarticular mass with calcifications in a young patient are highly suggestive of synovial sarcoma. Although different imaging modalities can aid in the diagnosis of synovial sarcoma, diagnostic certainty is typically only confirmed by biopsy and histologic analysis. We present a case describing the diagnostic workup of synovial sarcoma with an emphasis on imaging findings in a patient with increasing symptomatology spanning more than a decade.

Background
There is a growing interest in the use of biologic agents such as platelet-rich plasma and mesenchymal stem/stromal cells to treat musculoskeletal injuries, including meniscal tears. Although previous research has documented the role of diagnostic ultrasound to evaluate meniscal tears, sonographically guided (SG) techniques to specifically deliver therapeutic agents into the meniscus have not been described.Objective
To describe and validate SG injection techniques for the body and posterior horn of the medial and lateral meniscus.Design
Prospective, cadaveric laboratory investigation.Setting
Academic institution procedural skills laboratory.Subjects
Five unenbalmed cadaveric knee-ankle-foot specimens from 5 donors (3 female and 2 male) ages 33-92 years (mean age 74 years) with body mass indices of 21.1-32.4 kg/m2 (mean 24.1 kg/m2).Methods
A single, experienced operator completed SG injections into the bodies and posterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci of 5 unenbalmed cadaveric knees using colored latex and a 22-gauge, 38-mm needle. After injection, coinvestigators dissected each specimen to assess latex distribution within the menisci and identify injury to intra-articular and periarticular structures.Main Outcome Measures
Latex location within the target region of meniscus (accurate/inaccurate), and iatrogenic injury to “at risk” intra- and periarticular structures (present/absent).Results
Seventeen of 20 injections were accurate. Two of 3 inaccurate injections infiltrated the posterior horn of the medial meniscus instead of the targeted meniscal body. One inaccurate lateral meniscus injection did not contain latex despite sonographically accurate needle placement. No specimen exhibited injury to regional neurovascular structures or intra-articular hyaline cartilage.Conclusions
SG meniscus injections are feasible and can accurately and safely deliver injectates such as regenerative agents into bodies and posterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci. The role of SG intrameniscal injections in the treatment of patients with degenerative and traumatic meniscal disorders warrants further exploration.Level of Evidence

Sonographic Changes After Ultrasound-Guided Release of the Transverse Carpal Ligament: A Case Report
Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common entrapment neuropathy, resulting in 500,000 carpal tunnel release (CTR) surgeries and a total cost of more than 2 billion dollars annually in the United States. Although initially performed via a large (3-5 cm) palmar incision, CTR techniques have continually evolved to reduce incision size, recovery times, postoperative pain, and improve cosmesis and clinical outcomes. More recently, multiple authors have reported excellent results after ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release (USCTR) using a variety of techniques, and one prospective randomized trial reported faster recovery after USCTR compared with traditional mini-open CTR. However, there is a paucity of data with respect to changes in the median nerve after USCTR. This case report presents the functional outcomes and pre- and postprocedure ultrasound images of a patient after USCTR with 3-month follow-up.

A 30-year-old man with no significant medical history presented with hypokalemic quadriplegia 4 hours after he received a lumbar transforaminal epidural steroid injection (ESI) containing dexamethasone and lidocaine. A comprehensive workup ruled out acquired and hereditary causes of hypokalemic paralysis. Symptoms gradually resolved within hours after potassium restoration with no residual neurologic deficits. Paralysis after transforaminal ESI is uncommon but has been associated with particulate steroids that can coalesce into aggregates and occlude vessels. To our knowledge, there have been no case reports of paralysis after ESI with dexamethasone, a nonparticulate steroid. This transient paralysis is possibly caused by the effects of glucocorticoids on Na-K channels and insulin resistance resulting in hyperglycemia and subsequent hypokalemia. We reviewed the differential diagnosis of transient paralysis after epidural steroid injection in this report.

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
