Objective
To determine relationships between pain sites and pain intensity/interference in people with lower limb amputations (LLAs).Design
Cross-sectional survey.Setting
Community.Participants
Lower limb prosthesis users with unilateral or bilateral amputations (N=1296; mean time since amputation, 14.1y).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pain intensity (1 item to assess average pain), PROMIS pain interference (4-item short form to assess the consequences of pain in desired activities), and questions that asked participants to rate the extent to which each of the following were a problem: residual limb pain (RLP), phantom limb pain (PLP), knee pain on the nonamputated side, back pain, and shoulder pain.Results
Nearly three quarters (72.1%) of participants reported problematic pain in 1 or more of the listed sites. Problematic PLP, back pain, and RLP were reported by 48.1%, 39.2%, and 35.1% of participants, respectively. Knee pain and shoulder pain were less commonly identified as problems (27.9% and 21.7%, respectively). Participants also reported significantly (P<.0001) higher pain interference (T-score ± SD, 54.7±9.0) than the normative sample based on the U.S. population (T-score ± SD, 50.0±10.0). Participants with LLAs rated their pain intensity on average ± SD at 3.3±2.4 on a 0-to-10 scale. Pain interference (ρ=.564, P<.0001) and intensity (ρ=.603, P<.0001) were positively and significantly correlated with number of pain sites reported.Conclusions
Problematic pain symptoms, especially RLP, PLP, and back pain, affect most prosthetic limb users and have the potential to greatly restrict participation in life activities. 相似文献2.

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
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
Few studies have investigated the associations between patient-reported outcome and gait in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and reconstruction over time. Because there is an association between ACL rupture and the presence of osteoarthritis later in life, a better understanding of these relationships will help to elucidate how patients’ gait pattern may affect pain and symptoms, potentially leading to better treatment for or preventing the development of knee OA.Objective
To evaluate the associations between gait characteristics and self-reported pain and symptoms before, 6 months after, and 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.Design
Prospective cohort study.Setting
The Human Performance Center at the Orthopedic Institute at the University of California, San Francisco.Patients
Patients with full unilateral ACL tears were enrolled. A total of 43 patients were included at 12 months postsurgery.Methods
The independent variable in this study comprised specific gait variables in patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction. At each time point, 3-dimensional motion analysis was performed. Participants also completed the Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire.Main Outcomes Measurements
The primary study outcome measurement was the KOOS and was planned before data collection began. Partial correlations were used to examine cross-sectional associations between gait characteristics and KOOS pain and symptom scores at all time points. In addition, partial correlations were performed to examine the associations between change in postoperative KOOS from 6 months to 1 year and gait characteristics at baseline and 6 months.Results
Significant associations between KOOS and gait characteristics were found at all time points, including an association between peak medial ground reaction force and pain (r = ?0.344, P = .02) and symptoms (r = ?0.407, P = .007) at baseline.Conclusions
Specific gait variables may be predictive of greater pain and symptoms and less improvement over time postreconstruction. This could help to inform rehabilitation exercises post injury and pre reconstruction.Level of Evidence

Background
Patients have expressed concern about undergoing procedures involving trainees, even with direct attending physician supervision. Little literature has examined the effect of trainee involvement on patient outcomes.Objective
We aimed to evaluate the effect of trainee involvement on patient complications, immediate pain reduction, and fluoroscopic time for different fluoroscopic injection types.Design
Retrospective review.Setting
Four academic outpatient institutions with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)?accredited residency (physical medicine and rehabilitation, or anesthesiology) or fellowship (sports medicine or pain medicine) programs from 2000 to 2015.Patients
All patients receiving fluoroscopically guided hip (HI), sacroiliac joint (SIJI), transforaminal epidural (TFEI), and/or interlaminar epidural injections (ILEI, performed at only 1 institution).Methods
Outcome measures were examined based on the presence or absence of a trainee during the procedure.Main Outcome Measurements
The primary outcome was the number of immediate complications, with secondary outcomes being fluoroscopic time per injection (FTPI) and immediate numeric rating scale percentage improvement.Results
Trainees were involved in 67.0% of all injections (N = 7,833). Complication rates or improvements in numeric rating scale scores showed no significant differences with trainee involvement for any injection type (P > .05). Trainee involvement was associated with increased FTPI for ILEIs (18.2 ± 10.1 seconds with trainees versus 15.1 ± 8.5 seconds without trainees, P < .001), but not for HIs (P = .60) or SIJIs (P = .51). Trainee involvement with TFEIs was dependent on institution for outcome with respect to FTPI (P < .001), with 28.1 ± 17.9 seconds with trainees and 32.1 ± 22.1 seconds without trainees (P = 0.51).Conclusions
This large multicenter study of academic institutions demonstrates that trainee involvement in fluoroscopically guided injections does not affect immediate patient complications or pain improvement. Trainee involvement does not increase fluoroscopic time for most injections, although there is an institutional difference seen. This study supports the notion that appropriate trainee supervision likely does not compromise patient safety for fluoroscopically guided injections.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
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

Objective
To investigate the effect of a supervised upper limb (UL) program (SULP) compared to no supervised UL program (NULP) after lung transplantation (LTx).Design
Randomized controlled trial.Setting
Physiotherapy gym.Participants
Participants (N=80; mean age, 56±11y; 37 [46%] men) were recruited after LTx.Interventions
All participants underwent lower limb strength thrice weekly and endurance training. Participants randomized to SULP completed progressive UL strength training program using handheld weights and adjustable pulley equipment.Main Outcome Measures
Overall bodily pain was rated on the visual analog scale. Shoulder flexion and abduction muscle strength were measured on a hand held dynamometer. Health related quality of life was measured with Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form health Survey and the Quick Dash. Measurements were made at baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 6 months by blinded assessors.Results
After 6 weeks of training, participants in the SULP (n=41) had less overall bodily pain on the visual analog scale than did participants in the NULP (n=36) (mean VAS bodily pain score, 2.1±1.3cm vs 3.8±1.7cm; P<.001) as well as greater UL strength than did participants in the NULP (mean peak force, 8.4±4.0Nm vs 6.7±2.8Nm; P=.037). At 12 weeks, participants in the SULP better quality of life related to bodily pain (76±17 vs 66±26; P=.05), but at 6 months there were no differences between the groups in any outcome measures. No serious adverse events were reported.Conclusions
UL rehabilitation results in short-term improvements in pain and muscle strength after LTx, but no longer-term effects were evident. 相似文献10.

Objectives
To examine the effect of experimental knee pain on perceived knee pain and gait patterns and to examine the efficacy of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) on perceived knee pain and pain-induced knee gait mechanics.Design
Crossover trial.Setting
Biomechanics laboratory.Participants
Recreationally active, individuals without musculoskeletal pain aged 18 to 35 years (N=30).Interventions
Thirty able-bodied individuals were assigned to either a TENS (n=15) or a placebo (n=15) group. All participants completed 3 experimental sessions in a counterbalanced order separated by 2 days: (1) hypertonic saline infusion (5% NaCl); (2) isotonic saline infusion (0.9% NaCl); and (3) control. Each group received sensory electrical stimulation or placebo treatment for 20 minutes, respectively.Main Outcome Measures
Perceived pain was collected every 2 minutes using a 10-cm visual analog scale (VAS) for 50 minutes and analyzed using a mixed model analysis of covariance with repeated measures. Gait analyses were performed at baseline, infusion, and treatment. Sagittal and frontal knee angles and internal net joint torque across the entire stance were analyzed using a functional data analysis approach.Results
Hypertonic saline infusion increased perceived pain (4/10cm on a VAS; P<.05) and altered right knee angle (more flexion and less abduction; P<.05) and internal net joint torque (less extension and greater abduction; P<.05) across various stance phases. TENS treatment reduced perceived pain and improved right sagittal gait abnormalities as compared with placebo treatment (P<.05).Conclusions
This pain model increases perceived pain and induces compensatory gait patterns in a way that indicates potential quadriceps weakness. However, TENS treatment effectively reduces perceived pain and restores pain-induced gait abnormalities in sagittal knee mechanics. 相似文献11.

Background
Patients with Parkinson disease (PD) present cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction that impairs blood pressure control. However, cardiovascular responses during resistance exercise are unknown in these patients.Objective
To investigate cardiovascular responses during resistance exercise performed with different muscle masses in patients with PD.Design
Prospective, repeated-measures.Setting
Exercise Hemodynamic Laboratory, School of Physical Education and Sport, University of São Paulo.Participants
Thirteen patients with PD (4 women, 62.7 ± 1.3 years, stages 2-3 of the modified Hoehn and Yahr scale; “on” state of medication) and 13 paired control patients without PD (7 women, 66.2 ± 2.0 years).Interventions
Both groups performed, in a random order, bilateral and unilateral knee extension exercises (2 sets, 10-12 maximal repetition, 2-minute intervals).Main Outcome Measurements
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) and heart rate (HR) were assessed before (pre) and during the exercises.Results
Independent of set and exercise type, SBP and HR increases were significantly lower in PD than the control group (combined values: +45 ± 2 versus +73 ± 4 mm Hg and +18 ± 1 versus +31 ± 2 bpm, P = .003 and .007, respectively). Independently of group and set, the SBP increase was greater in the bilateral than the unilateral exercise (combined values: +63 ± 4 versus +54 ± 3 mm Hg, P = .002), whereas the HR increase was similar. In addition, independently of group and exercise type, the SBP increase was greater in the second than the first set (combined values: +56 ± 4 versus +61 ± 4 mm Hg, P = .04), whereas the HR increases were similar.Conclusions
Patients with PD present attenuated increases in SBP and HR during resistance exercise in comparison with healthy subjects. These results support that resistance exercise is safe and well tolerated for patients with PD from a cardiovascular point of view supporting its recommendation 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
Cross-sectional study.Setting
Outpatient and inpatient amputee clinics at an academic rehabilitation hospital.Participants
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

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
There is controversy regarding the best technique for applying Kinesio Taping (KT), and the theory supporting that skin convolutions may explain its efficacy has recently been challenged.Objective
To compare the immediate and short-term effectiveness of KT tightness on mechanosensitivity and spinal mobility in nonspecific low back pain (LBP), and to observe the influence of gender in the outcome measures.Design
Double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.Setting
University-based clinical research center.Participants
A total of 75 individuals with a mean age of 33 years (±7.4 years), 60% female and 40% male, with nonspecific LBP were recruited and randomly assigned to 1 of the following study groups: standard KT tension (n = 26), increased KT tension (n = 25), and no KT tension (n = 24).Interventions
All participants received a two I-strip taping over the paravertebral muscles for 24 hours. Paper-off tension (15%-25% of the available stretch) was used in the standard KT group, which was increased to 40% in the increased KT tension group. The rest of participants received a taping procedure with no KT tension. Measurements were taken at baseline, immediately after the taping, 24 hours after the taping, and after KT removal.Main Outcome Measures
The primary outcome included pressure pain thresholds over the erector spinae and gluteus medius muscles. The secondary outcome was lumbar mobility (assessed with a digital inclinometer, and back-saver sit-and-reach, finger-to-floor, and sit-and-reach tests).Results
In the between-groups analysis of the mean score changes after baseline assessment, no significant differences were found for any of the outcome measures (P > .05) except the left back-saver sit-and-reach test (P = .03). A statistically significant interaction group × gender × time was observed only for mechanosensitivity values (P = .02 for the gluteus and P = .01 for the erector spinae).Conclusion
KT tightness does not seem to influence pain sensitivity and lumbar mobility in chronic LBP in either the immediate or short term.Level of Evidence

Objective
To assess the effectiveness of bracing in adult with scoliosis.Design
Retrospective cohort study.Setting
Outpatients followed in 2 tertiary care hospitals.Participants
Adults (N=38) with nonoperated progressive idiopathic or degenerative scoliosis treated by custom-molded lumbar-sacral orthoses, with a minimum follow-up time of 10 years before bracing and 5 years after bracing. Progression was defined as a variation in Cobb angle ≥10° between the first and the last radiograph before bracing. The brace was prescribed to be worn for a minimum of 6h/d.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
Rate of progression of the Cobb angle before and after bracing measured on upright 3-ft full-spine radiographs.Results
At the moment of bracing, the mean age was 61.3±8.2 years, and the mean Cobb angle was 49.6°±17.7°. The mean follow-up time was 22.0±11.1 years before bracing and 8.7±3.3 years after bracing. For both types of scoliosis, the rate of progression decreased from 1.28°±.79°/y before to .21°±.43°/y after bracing (P<.0001). For degenerative and idiopathic scoliosis, it dropped from 1.47°±.83°/y before to .24°±.43°/y after bracing (P<.0001) and .70°±.06°/y before to .24°±.43°/y after bracing (P=.03), respectively.Conclusions
For the first time, to our knowledge, this study suggests that underarm bracing may be effective in slowing down the rate of progression in adult scoliosis. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these results. 相似文献16.
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
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

Objective
To test the hypothesis that caregivers enhance the wheelchair skills capacity and confidence of the power wheelchair users to whom they provide assistance, and to describe the nature of that assistance.Design
Multicenter cross-sectional study.Setting
Rehabilitation centers and communities.Participants
Participants (N=152) included caregivers (n=76) and wheelchair users (n=76).Interventions
None.Main Outcome Measures
Version 4.3 of the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and the Wheelchair Skills Test-Questionnaire (WST-Q). For each of the 30 individual skills, we recorded data about the wheelchair user alone and in combination (blended) with the caregiver.Results
The mean total WST capacity scores ± SD for the wheelchair users alone and blended were 78.1%±9.3% and 92.4%±6.1%, respectively, with a mean difference of 14.3%±8.7% (P<.0001). The mean WST-Q capacity scores ± SD were 77.0%±10.6% and 93.2%±6.4%, respectively, with a mean difference of 16.3%±9.8% (P<.0001). The mean WST-Q confidence scores ± SD were 75.5%±12.7% and 92.8%±6.8%, respectively, with a mean difference of 17.5%±11.7% (P<.0001). The mean differences corresponded to relative improvements of 18.3%, 21.0%, and 22.9%, respectively. The nature and benefits of the caregivers' assistance could be summarized in 7 themes (eg, caregiver provides verbal support [cueing, coaching, reporting about the environment]).Conclusions
Caregivers significantly enhance the wheelchair skills capacity and confidence of the power wheelchair users to whom they provide assistance, and they do so in a variety of ways. These findings have significance for wheelchair skills assessment and training. 相似文献20.
