Background
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have become an increasingly popular and effective means for treating advanced heart failure. LVAD implantation requires extensive surgery and postoperative rehabilitation. The Functional Independence Measure (FIM) has been used to quantify functional gains in numerous patient populations, including those with stroke and spinal cord injury. This study investigated functional improvements in patients undergoing LVAD implantation using the FIM score.Objective
To assess functional improvements in patients with advanced heart failure who underwent LVAD implantation.Design
Retrospective.Setting
Inpatient rehabilitation unit.Subjects
Ninety consecutive patients who received acute inpatient rehabilitation after continuous flow LVAD implantation.Methods
Demographic, laboratory, and functional outcomes data including inpatient rehabilitation unit (IRU) length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and FIM score were collected for all patients. Paired t-tests were used to assess change in functional measures and laboratory data.Main Outcome Measures
Primary outcome measures included FIM gain, FIM efficiency, discharge disposition, rates of readmission after discharge from rehabilitation, and LOS in the rehabilitation unit.Results
The FIM gain was statistically significant at 28.4 ± 12.3 (P < .001) and compared favorably with benchmarks for mean FIM gains at our facility (26.4), regionally (21.5), and nationally (22.7) for patients admitted to IRUs with a cardiac diagnosis. FIM efficiency (FIM gain/IRU LOS) was 1.9 ± 1.0 compared with the mean FIM efficiency at our facility (2.2), regionally (2.1), and nationally (2.2). Seventy-four percent (n = 67) of patients were discharged directly home after inpatient rehabilitation, 17% (n = 16) were readmitted to the acute hospital service, and 8% (n = 7) required additional rehabilitation at a subacute rehabilitation facility. The IRU LOS was 16.2 ± 6.9 days.Conclusions
Our study indicates that most patients with an LVAD achieve clinically meaningful functional gains from acute inpatient rehabilitation, with the majority of patients being discharged home. Further studies need to be performed to analyze clinical outcomes after acute inpatient rehabilitation.Level of Evidence

Background
Malignant brain tumors cause significant impairments in function because of the nature of the disease. Nevertheless, patients with malignant brain tumors can make functional gains equivalent to those with stroke and traumatic brain injury in the inpatient rehabilitation setting. However, the efficacy of outpatient rehabilitation in this population has received little study.Objective
To determine if an interdisciplinary outpatient rehabilitation program will improve functional outcomes in patients with malignant brain tumors.Design
Nonrandomized prospective longitudinal study.Setting
Six affiliated outpatient sites of one institution.Patients
Forty-nine adults with malignant brain tumors were enrolled.Methods
Patients received interdisciplinary therapy services, with duration determined by the therapist evaluations. The therapists scored the Day Rehabilitation Outcome Scale (DayROS) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) on admission and discharge. The caregivers filled out the DRS at discharge, 1 month, and 3 months after discharge.Main Outcome Measurements
The primary study outcome measure was the DayROS, which is a functional measure similar to the Functional Independence Measure. DRS was another functional outcome measure assessing basic self-care, dependence on others, and psychosocial adaptability.Results
Forty-six of 49 enrolled patients (94%) completed the day rehabilitation program. The average length of stay was 76.9 days. There was a significant improvement in total DayROS (P < .001), mobility (P < .001), Activities of Daily Living ( P < .001), and communication (P < .001) DayROS subscores from admission to discharge. There were no significant changes over time in the DRS scores. Women had higher DayROS gains (P = .003) and better therapist DRS scores from admission to discharge than men (P = .010).Conclusions
Patients with malignant brain tumors can make functional gains in an interdisciplinary outpatient rehabilitation program. This level of care should be considered in this patient population.Level of Evidence

Background
Growing numbers of allogeneic stem cell transplants and improved posttransplant care have led to an increase of individuals with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD). Although cGVHD leads to functional impairment for many, there is limited literature regarding the benefits of acute inpatient rehabilitation for patients with cGVHD.Objective
To assess Functional Independence Measure (FIM) outcomes of patients with cGVHD during acute inpatient rehabilitation and to compare inpatient rehabilitation outcomes with patients with burn injuries, a rehabilitation patient population with similar comorbidities.Design
Retrospective chart review.Setting
Acute rehabilitation center at a large academic medical center.Patients (or Participants)
A total of 37 adult patients with cGVHD and 30 with burn injuries admitted to inpatient rehabilitation from 2010 to 2015.Methods or Interventions
Linear regression analysis to evaluate group (cGVHD versus burn) differences in functional gains. Effect size and minimal detectable change at the 90% confidence level (MDC90) were used to evaluate change in FIM outcomes.Main Outcome Measurements
Total FIM gain, motor FIM gain, and FIM efficiency.Results
Patients with cGVHD had statistically significant lower functional gains than patients with burn injuries, with an average of 11.66 fewer total FIM points (P ≤ .001), 10.54 fewer motor FIM points (P = .01), and 2.45 units less of FIM efficiency (P = .01). At the time of discharge, 7 (18%) patients with cGVHD exceeded the MDC90 values for total FIM gain versus 9 (30%) patients with burn injuries (P = .26). Eight (21%) patients with cGVHD exceeded the MDC90 for motor FIM gain versus 13 (43%) patients with burn injuries (P = .048). Effect sizes for patients with cGVHD and with burn injury were moderate to large, respectively, with patients with burn injuries having nearly twice the magnitude of gains as patients with cGVHD.Conclusions
Despite achieving more modest functional gains than patients with burn injuries, patients with cGVHD improved in function after acute inpatient rehabilitation. If replicated in larger studies, patients with functional impairment from cGVHD can be considered for inpatient rehabilitation. Future work should also determine minimal clinically important differences in function gain from inpatient rehabilitation for patients with cGVHD.Level of Evidence

Background
A significant proportion of burn injury patients are admitted to inpatient rehabilitation facilities (IRFs). There is increasing interest in the use of functional variables, such as cognition, in predicting IRF outcomes. Cognitive impairment is an important cause of disability in the burn injury population, yet its relationship to IRF outcomes has not been studied.Objective
To assess how cognitive function affects rehabilitation outcomes in the burn injury population.Design
Retrospective study.Setting
Inpatient rehabilitation facilities in the United States.Participants
A total of 5347 adults admitted to an IRF with burn injury between 2002 and 2011.Methods or Interventions
Multivariable regression was used to model rehabilitation outcome measures, using the cognitive domain of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) instrument as the independent variable and controlling for demographic, medical, and facility covariates.Main Outcome Measurements
FIM total gain, readmission to an acute care setting at any time during inpatient rehabilitation, readmission to an acute care setting in the first 3 days of IRF admission, rate of discharge to the community setting, and length of stay efficiency.Results
Cognitive FIM total at admission was a significant predictor of FIM total gain, length of stay efficiency, and acute readmission at 3 days (P < .05). Cognitive FIM total scores did not have an impact on acute care readmission rate or discharge to the community setting.Conclusions
Cognitive status may be an important predictor of rehabilitation outcomes in the burn injury population. Future work is needed to further examine the impact of specific cognitive interventions on rehabilitation outcomes in this population.Level of Evidence

Background
Critical illness polyneuromyopathy (CIPNM) increasingly is recognized as a source of disability in patients requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The prevalence and impact of CIPNM on patients in the rehabilitation setting has not been established.Objectives
To determine the proportion of at-risk rehabilitation inpatients with evidence of CIPNM and the functional sequelae of this disorder.Design
Prospective observational study.Setting
Tertiary academic rehabilitation hospital.Patients
Rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission for at least 72 hours.Methods
Electrodiagnostic studies were performed to evaluate for axonal neuropathy and/or myopathy in at least one upper and one lower limb.Main Outcome Measurements
The primary outcome was prevalence of CIPNM. Secondary outcomes included Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores, rehabilitation length of stay (RLOS), and discharge disposition.Results
A total of 33 participants were enrolled; 70% had evidence of CIPNM. Admission FIM score, discharge FIM, FIM gain, and FIM efficiency were 64.1, 89.9, 25.5, and 0.31 in those with CIPNM versus 78.4, 94.6, 16.1, and 0.33 in those without CIPNM, respectively. Average RLOS was 123 days versus 76 days and discharge to home was 57% versus 90% in the CIPNM and non-CIPNM groups, respectively.Conclusions
CIPNM is very common in rehabilitation inpatients with a history of ICU admission. It was associated with a lower functional status at rehabilitation admission, but functional improvement was at a similar rate to those without CIPNM. Longer RLOS stay may be required to achieve the same functional level.Level of Evidence

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
The presence of subtle losses in hand dexterity after stroke affects the regaining of independence with regard to activities of daily living. Therefore, awareness of ipsilesional upper extremity (UE) function may be of importance when developing a comprehensive rehabilitation program. However, current hand function tests seem to be unable to identify asymptomatic UE impairments.Objectives
To assess the motor coordination as well as the sensory perception of an ipsilesional UE using biomechanical analysis of performance-oriented tasks and conducting a Manual Tactile Test (MTT).Design
Case-controlled study.Setting
A university hospital.Participants
A total of 21 patients with unilateral stroke, along with 21 matched healthy control subjects, were recruited.Methods
Each participant was requested to perform a pinch?holding-up activity (PHUA) test, object-transport task, and reach-to-grasp task via motion capture, as well as the MTT.Main Outcome Measurements
The kinetic data of the PHUA test, kinematics analysis of functional movements, and time requirement of MTT were analyzed.Results
Patients with ipsilesional UE had an inferior ability to scale and produce pinch force precisely when conducting the PHUA test compared to the healthy controls (P < .05). The movement time was statistically longer and peak velocity was significantly lower (P < .05) in the performance-oriented tasks for the ipsilesional UE patients. The longer time requirement in 3 MTT subtests showed that the ipsilesional UE patients experienced degradation in sensory perception (P < .001).Conclusion
Comprehensive sensorimotor assessments based on functional perspectives are valid tools to determine deficits in the sensation-perception-motor system in the ipsilesional UE. Integration of sensorimotor training programs for ipsilesional UE in future neuro-rehabilitation strategies may provide more beneficial effects to regain patients’ motor recovery and to promote daily living activity independence than focusing on paretic arm motor training alone.Level of Evidence

Background
The incidence of contact isolation for multidrug-resistant organisms is increasing in acute hospitals and inpatient rehabilitation units alike. There is limited evidence on the effect of contact isolation on functional outcomes during inpatient rehabilitation.Objective
To determine whether the use of a modified contact isolation protocol (MCI) resulted in noninferior functional outcomes compared with children without contact isolation (NCI) on inpatient rehabilitation.Design
This is a retrospective noninferiority study.Setting
One academically affiliated pediatric inpatient rehabilitation unit located in a children’s hospital.Patients
All children with any diagnosis admitted to inpatient rehabilitation from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2014.Methods or Interventions
We compared functional outcomes for 2 groups of children.Main Outcome Measurements
Primary outcome measures included the Functional Independence Measure for Children (WeeFIM) efficiency and the change in the Developmental Functional Quotient (DFQ) for the WeeFIM. Noninferiority margins of 0.63 for the WeeFIM efficiency and 0.092 for the change in DFQ for the WeeFIM were used.Results
There were a total of 949 patients of whom 899 were NCI, 48 MCI, and 2 excluded due to missing information. Patients with MCI had functional outcomes that were noninferior to those with NCI including the WeeFIM efficiency (mean difference 0.002, 95% CI –0.38 to 0.404) and the change in DFQ for the WeeFIM (mean difference –0.05, 95% CI –0.058 to 0.003).Conclusions
The modified contact isolation protocol, having resulted in noninferior functional outcomes in inpatient rehabilitation may provide adequate contact isolation while allowing for noninferior functional outcomes. This may be a guide in the face of an ever-increasing need for contact isolation.Level of Evidence

Participation in Daily Life: Influence on Quality of Life in Ambulatory Children with Cerebral Palsy
Background
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a chronic condition that affects children and has an impact on social and physical activity, as well as participation in daily life. Participation and quality of life (QOL) are 2 important measures of successful rehabilitation that have not been well studied in children with CP.Objective
To report levels of participation and examine the relationship of participation to QOL in ambulatory children with CP.Design
Secondary analysis, cross-sectional cohort study.Setting
Regional pediatric specialty care center.Participants
A cohort of 128 ambulatory children with CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-III, age 2-9 years.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory; Assessment of Life Habits; and Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment and Assessment of Preschool Children’s Participation.Results
Participation was negatively associated with increasing Gross Motor Function Classification System but not age. Level of participation was associated with psychosocial QOL (2.97, P = .001) and total QOL (54.70, P = .03) but not physical QOL. There was a positive relationship between physical activity performance (0.63, P = .001), walking performance (0.002, P = .01), and communication level (7.23, P = .05) with physical QOL. Increasing age and decreased frequency of participation were negatively associated with all QOL domains.Conclusions
The results suggest that participation in daily life is negatively influenced by physical impairment and that levels of participation are positively associated with psychosocial and total QOL among ambulatory children with CP. This suggests that participation influences QOL and further studies are needed to determine the aspects of participation directly impacting QOL in ambulatory children with CP.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

Objective
We investigated the treatment effects of a home-based rehabilitation program compared with clinic-based rehabilitation in patients with stroke.Design
A single-blinded, 2-sequence, 2-period, crossover-designed study.Setting
Rehabilitation clinics and participant’s home environment.Participants
Individuals with disabilities poststroke.Interventions
During each intervention period, each participant received 12 training sessions, with a 4-week washout phase between the 2 periods. Participants were randomly allocated to home-based rehabilitation first or clinic-based rehabilitation first. Intervention protocols included mirror therapy and task-specific training.Main Outcome Measures
Outcome measures were selected based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. Outcomes of impairment level were the Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Box and Block Test, and Revised Nottingham Sensory Assessment. Outcomes of activity and participation levels included the Motor Activity Log, 10-meter walk test, sit-to-stand test, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, and EuroQoL-5D Questionnaire.Results
Pretest analyses showed no significant evidence of carryover effect. Home-based rehabilitation resulted in significantly greater improvements on the Motor Activity Log amount of use subscale (P=.01) and the sit-to-stand test (P=.03) than clinic-based rehabilitation. The clinic-based rehabilitation group had better benefits on the health index measured by the EuroQoL-5D Questionnaire (P=.02) than the home-based rehabilitation group. Differences between the 2 groups on the other outcomes were not statistically significant.Conclusions
The home-based and clinic-based rehabilitation groups had comparable benefits in the outcomes of impairment level but showed differential effects in the outcomes of activity and participation levels. 相似文献13.

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
Spasticity is a common sequela of upper motor neuron pathology, such as cerebrovascular diseases and cerebral palsy. Intervention for spasticity of the ankle plantarflexors in physical therapy may include tone-inhibiting casting and/or orthoses for the ankle and foot. However, the physiological mechanism of tone reduction by such orthoses remains unclarified.Objective
To investigate the electrophysiologic effects of tone-inhibiting insoles in stroke subjects with hemiparesis by measuring changes in reciprocal Ia inhibition (RI) in the ankle plantarflexor.Design
An interventional before–after study.Setting
Acute stroke unit or ambulatory rehabilitation clinic of a university hospital in Japan.Participants
Ten subjects (47-84 years) with hemiparesis and 10 healthy male control subjects (31-59 years) were recruited.Methods
RI of the spastic soleus in response to the electrical stimulation of the deep peroneal nerve was evaluated by stimulus-locked averaging of rectified electromyography (EMG) of the soleus while subjects were standing.Main Outcome Measurements
The magnitude of RI, defined as the ratio of the lowest to the baseline amplitude of the rectified EMG at approximately 40 milliseconds after stimulation, was measured while subjects were standing with and without the tone-inhibiting insole on the hemiparesis side.Results
Enhancement of EMG reduction with the tone-inhibiting insole was significant (P < .05) in the subjects with hemiparesis, whereas no significant changes were found in controls.Conclusion
Tone-inhibiting insoles enhanced RI of the soleus in subjects after stroke, which might enhance standing stability by reducing unfavorable ankle plantarflexion tone.Level of Evidence

Background
Prosthesis rehabilitation after dysvascular transtibial amputation (TTA) is focused on optimizing functional capacity with limited emphasis on promoting health self-efficacy. Self-efficacy interventions decrease disability for people living with chronic disease, but the influence of self-efficacy on disability is unknown for people with dysvascular TTA.Objectives
To identify if self-efficacy mediates the relationship between self-reported functional capacity and disability after dysvascular TTA.Design
Cross-sectional, secondary data analysis.Setting
Outpatient rehabilitation facilities.Participants
Thirty-eight men (63.6 ± 9.1 years old) with dysvascular TTA.Methods
Participants had been living with an amputation for less than 6 months and using walking as their primary form of locomotion using a prosthesis. The independent variable, functional capacity, was measured using the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire–Mobility Scale (PEQ-MS). The proposed mediator, self-efficacy, was measured with the Self-Efficacy of Managing Chronic Disease questionnaire (SEMCD).Main Outcome Measure
Disability was measured using the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) questionnaire.Results
The relationship between self-reported functional capacity and disability is partially mediated by self-efficacy. Relationships between WHODAS 2.0 and PEQ-MS (r = –0.61), WHODAS 2.0 and SEMCD (r = –0.51), and PEQ-MS and SEMCD (r = 0.44) were significant (P < .01). Controlling for SEMCD (P = .04), the relationship between PEQ-MS and WHODAS 2.0 remained significant (P < .01). Statistically significant mediation was determined by a bootstrap method for the product of coefficients (95% confidence interval: –2.23, –7.39).Conclusions
This study provides initial evidence that the relationship between self-reported functional capacity and disability is partially mediated by self-efficacy after dysvascular TTA. The longitudinal effect of self-efficacy should be further examined to identify causal pathways of disability after dysvascular amputation. Furthermore, additional factors contributing to the relationship between self-reported functional capacity and disability need to be identified.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
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

Objective
To evaluate the effects of pressure threshold respiratory training (RT) on heart rate variability and baroreflex sensitivity in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).Design
Before-after intervention case-controlled clinical study.Setting
SCI research center and outpatient rehabilitation unit.Participants
Participants (N=44) consisted of persons with chronic SCI ranging from C2 to T11 who participated in RT (n=24), and untrained control subjects with chronic SCI ranging from C2 to T9 (n=20).Interventions
A total of 21±2 RT sessions performed 5 days a week during a 4-week period using a combination of pressure threshold inspiratory and expiratory devices.Main Outcome Measures
Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and beat-to-beat arterial blood pressure and heart rate changes during the 5-second-long maximum expiratory pressure maneuver (5s MEP) and the sit-up orthostatic stress test, acquired before and after the RT program.Results
In contrast to the untrained controls, individuals in the RT group experienced significantly increased FVC and FEV1 (both P<.01) in association with improved quality of sleep, cough, and speech. Sympathetically (phase II) and parasympathetically (phase IV) mediated baroreflex sensitivity both significantly (P<.05) increased during the 5s MEP. During the orthostatic stress test, improved autonomic control over heart rate was associated with significantly increased sympathetic and parasympathetic modulation (low- and high-frequency change: P<.01 and P<.05, respectively).Conclusions
Inspiratory-expiratory pressure threshold RT is a promising technique to positively affect both respiratory and cardiovascular dysregulation observed in persons with chronic SCI. 相似文献20.
