Lythgo N, Marmaras B, Connor H. Physical function, gait, and dynamic balance of transfemoral amputees using two mechanical passive prosthetic knee devices.
Objective
To investigate the effect of the 3R90 and 3R92 (Otto Bock Healthcare) mechanical passive prosthetic knee devices on the physical function, gait, and dynamic balance (sudden stop and turn) of transfemoral amputees.Design
Intervention study with crossover design.Setting
University research center.Participants
Men (N=5; mean age ± SD, 58.8±11.9y) with unilateral transfemoral amputation.Intervention
Prosthetic knee joints (N=2; 3R90 and 3R92). Acclimatization ranged from 14 to 47 days (25.5±9.3d).Main Outcome Measures
Physical function, gait, dynamic balance.Results
The Timed Up and Go Test, 6-Minute Walk Test, and Four Square Step Test measures improved with the 3R92. Total scores on the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire were similar for the 3R92 (82.0±6.3) and the participant's own or original device (83.9±4.8). These devices were rated higher than the 3R90 (65.5±16.8). Compared with the original device, gait velocity was significantly slower (5cm/s; P=.017) with the 3R92, but was unchanged for the 3R90. This difference was not considered clinically significant because the effect size was small (0.2). No other significant gait differences were found. Large temporal gait asymmetries observed with the original device remained with the 3R90 and 3R92 (step, ≈20%; single support, ≈30%; stance, ≈19%). Although no significant differences were found for the sudden-turn or sudden-stop tasks, the sudden-turn group success rates were highest with the original devices.Conclusions
Gait and symmetry measures were unchanged. Gait speed was slower with the 3R92, but this was not considered to be clinically significant. Sudden-turn success rates generally were higher with the original devices. A crossover stepping movement was more difficult to implement than a side-stepping movement during sudden turns. 相似文献2.
Outpatient rehabilitation in patients with coronary artery and peripheral arterial occlusive disease

Jeger RV, Rickenbacher P, Pfisterer ME, Hoffmann A. Outpatient rehabilitation in patients with coronary artery and peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
Objective
To assess participation rates and outcome in outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (OCR) of patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).Design
Prospective cohort study.Setting
Referral center, ambulatory care.Participants
All patients undergoing OCR at 2 university hospitals in Switzerland from March 1999 to August 2005.Intervention
OCR during 3 months.Main Outcome Measures
Primary endpoints were workload during bicycle stress test and quality of life (QOL), both at the end of OCR. Secondary endpoints were complications during OCR and termination of OCR.Results
Of 1508 patients, 99 (7%) had PAOD (27 with Fontaine stage I, 69 with stage II, 3 with stage III). Patients with PAOD were older, had more cardiovascular risk factors, and were more likely to have undergone cardiac bypass grafting than those without PAOD. PAOD patients at OCR entry achieved a lower exercise workload than non-PAOD patients (PAOD patients, 105±31W and 69%±17% of target vs non-PAOD patients, 125±38W and 79%±19%; P<.001) but both groups achieved similar gains in exercise capacity at the end of OCR (PAOD patients, 126±44W and 82%±25% vs non-PAOD patients, 153±48W and 98%±24%; P<.001). For both groups, QOL was similar at baseline and follow-up, and improved equally in most dimensions. OCR was discontinued more often in patients with PAOD than in those without (18% vs 10%, P=.018). Cardiac and noncardiac complication rates were similar.Conclusions
Patients with PAOD undergoing OCR have a similar benefit but higher dropout rates than other patients. Thus, PAOD patients should be encouraged to participate in OCR, possibly by creating specifically tailored concepts. 相似文献3.

Objectives
To estimate the number of minutes a day of leisure time physical activity (LTPA) performed by people with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) and to identify the demographic and injury-related characteristics associated with LTPA in a population-based sample of people with chronic SCI.Design
Cross-sectional telephone survey.Setting
General community.Participants
Men and women with SCI (N=695).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
The number of minutes/day of LTPA performed at a mild intensity or greater.Results
Respondents reported mean minutes ± SD of 27.14±49.36 of LTPA/d; however, 50% reported no LTPA whatsoever. In a multiple regression analysis, sex, age, years postinjury, injury severity, and primary mode of mobility each emerged as a unique predictor of LTPA. Multiple correspondence analysis indicated that being a man over the age of 34 years and greater than 11 years postinjury was associated with inactivity, while being a manual wheelchair user and having motor complete paraplegia were associated with the highest level of daily LTPA.Conclusions
Daily LTPA levels are generally low in people with SCI. Women, older adults, people with less recent injuries, people with more severe injuries, and users of power wheelchairs and gait aids are general subgroups that may require special attention and resources to overcome unique barriers to LTPA. Specific subgroups may also require targeted interventions. 相似文献4.

van Koppenhagen CF, Post MW, van der Woude LH, de Witte LP, van Asbeck FW, de Groot S, van den Heuvel W, Lindeman E. Changes and determinants of life satisfaction after spinal cord injury: a cohort study in The Netherlands.
Objective
To determine the impact of spinal cord injury (SCI) on life satisfaction of persons with SCI 1 year after discharge of inpatient rehabilitation.Design
A cohort study. Life satisfaction before SCI was retrospectively measured at the start of active rehabilitation. One year after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, current life satisfaction was measured.Setting
Eight rehabilitation centers in The Netherlands.Participants
Persons (N=147) aged 18 to 65 and wheelchair-dependent at least for long distances.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire.Results
Mean satisfaction with life ± SD as a whole was 5.3±0 before SCI and 4.3±1.3 one year after inpatient rehabilitation. Sexual life, self-care, and vocational situation showed the largest impact of SCI (P<.05), whereas the social relationships domains appeared to be the least affected. Decrease of life satisfaction after SCI was larger when using the retrospective ratings than when using general population scores. Significant determinants of life satisfaction after SCI were high lesion level (β=.31, P<.05), pain (β=.19, P<.05), and secondary impairments (β=.22, P<.05).Conclusions
Life satisfaction decreased in persons with SCI. Level of lesion and suffering secondary impairments or pain were associated with low life satisfaction 1 year after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. 相似文献5.
Fornusek C, Davis GM. Cardiovascular and metabolic responses during functional electric stimulation cycling at different cadences.
Objective
To determine the influence of pedaling cadence on cardiorespiratory responses and muscle oxygenation during functional electric stimulation (FES) leg cycling.Design
Repeated measures.Setting
Laboratory.Participants
Nine subjects with T4 through T10 spinal cord injury (SCI) (American Spinal Injury Association grade A).Interventions
FES cycling was performed at pedaling cadences of 15, 30, and 50 revolutions per minute (rpm).Main Outcome Measures
At each cadence, heart rate, oxygen uptake, and cardiac output were recorded during 35 minutes of cycling. Near infrared spectroscopy was used to quantify quadriceps muscle oxygenation.Results
All pedaling cadences induced similar elevations in cardiorespiratory metabolism, compared with resting values. Higher average power output was produced at 30rpm (8.2±0.7W, P<.05) and 50rpm (7.9±0.5W, P<.05) compared with 15rpm (6.3±0.6W). Gross mechanical efficiency was significantly higher (P<.05) at 30 and 50rpm than at 15rpm. Quadriceps muscle oxygenation did not differ with pedaling cadences.Conclusions
Cardiorespiratory responses and muscle metabolism adjustments during FES leg cycling were independent of pedal cadence. FES cycling at a cadence of 50rpm may not confer any advantages over 30 or 15rpm for cardiovascular fitness promotion in persons with SCI. 相似文献6.

Chou L-W, Lee SC, Johnston TE, Binder-Macleod SA. The effectiveness of progressively increasing stimulation frequency and intensity to maintain paralyzed muscle force during repetitive activation in persons with spinal cord injury.
Objective
To compare the effectiveness of progressively increasing stimulation intensity, progressively increasing frequency, or progressively increasing both frequency and intensity on paralyzed quadriceps femoris muscle force maintenance during repetitive activation.Design
Factorial design with different stimulation protocols as independent variables.Setting
A muscle performance laboratory.Participants
People (N=8) with spinal cord injury (SCI) (age, 14.63±1.77y).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
Number of contractions when the peak force was 90% or more of a subject's maximal twitch force.Results
The protocol involving progressively increasing stimulation intensity and then frequency generated more successful contractions (189.88±53.33) than progressively increasing the frequency followed by intensity (122.75±26.56 contractions). Regardless of the order, progressively increasing both intensity and frequency generated more successful contractions than progressively increasing intensity (97 contractions) or frequency (62 contractions) alone.Conclusions
Our findings suggest that during repetitive electric activation, progressively increasing both stimulation frequency and intensity can produce more successful contractions than progressively increasing only frequency or intensity. These findings can help researchers and clinicians design more effective stimulation protocols for persons with SCI during functional electric stimulation applications. 相似文献7.

Morse LR, Stolzmann K, Nguyen HP, Jain NB, Zayac C, Gagnon D, Tun CG, Garshick E. Association between mobility mode and C-reactive protein levels in men with chronic spinal cord injury.
Objective
To assess clinical determinants of systemic inflammation in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).Design
Cross-sectional survey.Setting
Veterans Affairs medical center.Participants
As part of an epidemiologic study assessing SCI-related health conditions, 63 men with chronic SCI provided a blood sample and information regarding locomotive mode and personal habits.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
Plasma high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP).Results
The mean ± standard deviation age was 56±14y, and participants were assessed 21±13y after injury. Adjusting for heart disease, hypertension, and body mass index (BMI), the mean CRP in 12 motorized wheelchair users (5.11mg/L) was not significantly greater than 23 participants who used a manual wheelchair (2.19mg/L) (P=.085) but was significantly greater than the 17 who walked with an assistive device (1.41mg/L) (P=.005) and the 12 who walked independently (1.63mg/L) (P=.027). CRP was significantly greater in participants with obesity but was not related to age, smoking, or SCI level and severity. CRP was elevated in participants reporting a urinary tract infection (UTI) or pressure ulcer within a year, but adjustment for this did not account for the elevated CRP in motorized wheelchair users.Conclusions
These results suggest that CRP in chronic SCI is independently related to locomotive mode, BMI, and a history of pressure ulcers and UTI. It is suggested that future studies in SCI investigate whether modifying these factors influence systemic inflammation and cardiovascular health. 相似文献8.

Caty GD, Arnould C, Stoquart GG, Thonnard J-L, Lejeune TM. ABILOCO: a Rasch-built 13-item questionnaire to assess locomotion ability in stroke patients.
Objective
To develop a questionnaire (ABILOCO), based on the Rasch measurement model, that can assess locomotion ability in adult stroke patients (International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health activity domain).Design
Prospective study and questionnaire development.Setting
A faculty hospital.Participants
Adult stroke patients (N=100) (age, 64±15y). The time since stroke ranged from 1 to 260 weeks.Intervention
A preliminary questionnaire included 43 items representing a large sample of locomotion activities. This questionnaire was tested on the 100 stroke patients, and their responses were analyzed using the Rasch model (RUMM 2020 software) to select items that had an ordered rating scale and fitted a unidimensional model.Main Outcome Measure
The ABILOCO questionnaire.Results
The retained items resulted in a 13-item questionnaire, which includes a wide range of locomotion abilities well targeted to the sample population, leading to good reliability (R=.93). The item calibration was independent of age, sex, time since stroke, and affected side. The concurrent validity of ABILOCO was also investigated by comparing it with well-known, criterion standard scales (Functional Walking Category, Functional Ambulation Categories, item 12 of the FIM instrument evaluating walking ability) and the walking speed measured with the 10-meter walk test.Conclusions
The ABILOCO questionnaire presents good psychometric qualities to measure locomotion ability in adult stroke patients. Its range and measurement precision make it attractive for clinical use throughout the rehabilitation process and for clinical research. 相似文献9.

Wikstrom EA, Hubbard TJ. Talar positional fault in persons with chronic ankle instability.
Objective
To determine whether sagittal plane talar position differs between uninjured controls and individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI) using lateral ankle radiographs.Design
Single-blind case control.Setting
University-based sports medicine research laboratory.Participants
University students (N=48) volunteered to participate. Twenty-four uninjured controls (12 men, 12 women; mean ± SD, 21.8±2.6y; 170±10cm; 73±16kg), and 24 adults with CAI (12 men, 12 women; 21.7±2.8y; 175±13cm; 71±13kg) participated.Intervention
A single nonweight-bearing lateral radiograph was taken of each ankle. Subjects were positioned side lying with the hip and knee in a neutral position in the transverse plane and the ankle joint in a neutral position (90° of dorsiflexion, 0° of inversion/eversion).Main Outcome Measure
The sagittal plane talar position was calculated as the distance between the most anterior margin of the inferior tibia and the most anterior margin of the talar dome in millimeters for each radiograph.Results
Talar position was significantly more anterior in the involved CAI limb (3.69±1.37mm) than the uninvolved CAI limb (2.98±1.61mm; P=.03). Additionally, an anterior talar position was significantly greater in the involved CAI limb than the matched control limb (2.65±1.24cm; P<.01). No differences were found between the uninvolved CAI limb and the matched control group limb (P=.57) or between the limbs of the uninjured control group (P=.75). Intratester reliability was found to be .90, while intertester reliability was .78.Conclusions
An anterior talar positional fault is present in the involved limb of individuals with CAI relative to their uninvolved limb and compared with the matched limb of a control group. The talar position measurement technique has excellent intratester and intertester reliability. 相似文献10.

Pooyania S, Ethans K, Szturm T, Casey A, Perry D. A randomized, double-blinded, crossover pilot study assessing the effect of nabilone on spasticity in persons with spinal cord injury.
Objectives
To determine whether nabilone, a synthetic cannabinoid, alleviates spasticity in people with spinal cord injury (SCI).Design
A double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study.Setting
Outpatient rehabilitation clinics.Participants
We recruited volunteers (N=12) with SCI and spasticity. One subject, a paraplegic man, dropped out of the study because of an unrelated cause. Eleven subjects completed the study; all subjects were men with an average age of 42.36 years; 6 of them were persons with tetraplegia, and 5 were persons with paraplegia.Interventions
The subjects received either nabilone or placebo during the first 4-week period (0.5mg once a day with option to increase to 0.5mg twice a day), and then outcome measures were assessed. After a 2-week washout, subjects were crossed over to the opposite arm.Main Outcome Measures
The primary outcome was the Ashworth Scale for spasticity in the most involved muscle group, in either the upper or lower extremities, chosen by the subject and clinician. The secondary outcomes included the sum of the Ashworth Scale in 8 muscle groups of each side of the body measured by the clinician; Spasm Frequency Scale and visual analog scale, reported by the subject; Wartenberg Pendulum Test, in order to quantify severity of spasticity; and the Clinician's and Subject's Global Impression of Change.Results
One subject dropped out during the placebo arm because of an unrelated urinary stricture, and 11 subjects completed the study. There was a significant decrease on active treatment for the Ashworth in the most involved muscle (mean difference ± SD, .909±.85; P=.003), as well as the total Ashworth score (P=.001). There was no significant difference in other measures. Side effects were mild and tolerable.Conclusions
Nabilone may be beneficial to reduce spasticity in people with SCI. We recommend a larger trial with a more prolonged treatment period and an option to slowly increase the dosage further. 相似文献11.
Background
The clinical learning environment and supervision scale (CLES) is a valid and reliable tool that was developed to assess the quality of nursing students’ clinical placements.Objectives
To obtain a reliable and valid Dutch version of the CLES that is in line with the Flemish culture and educational context.Design
Scale validation study on data provided by a cross-sectional survey.Settings
190 wards in 31 institutions for healthcare in Flanders, Belgium.Participants
768 student nurses enrolled in the 3 year bachelor programme at University College Ghent, Faculty of Healthcare Vesalius.Methods
Face and content validation was followed by data collection. Factor analysis was performed using varimax rotation. Subsequently, internal consistency reliability was tested on the total scale and its subdimensions using Cronbach's alpha.Results
We gathered 768 questionnaires. Factor analysis revealed 5 subdimensions with an eigenvalue greater than 1, explaining 71.281% of the variance. The overall internal consistency and the consistency of the five subdimensions is high. Our data supports face, content and construct validity of the CLES + NL.Conclusions
The CLES + NL is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to evaluate the quality of nursing wards as learning environments in Flanders. 相似文献12.

Hussain R, Cevallos ME, Darouiche RO, Trautner BW. Gram-negative intravascular catheter-related bacteremia in patients with spinal cord injury.
Objective
To determine whether the prevalence of gram-negative catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) is higher in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) than in patients without SCI.Design
Retrospective chart review from August 1998 to August 2006.Setting
A Veterans Affairs medical center, which serves as a tertiary care medical center to over 500 veterans with SCI and is the primary source of health care for veterans in southeast Texas.Participants
All hospitalized patients who had an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, code for bacteremia associated with their hospital stay.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measure
The proportion of CRBSI caused by gram-negative organisms in the SCI patients to the proportion of CRBSI caused by gram-negative organisms in the non-SCI patients.Results
Eight (42%) of 19 episodes of CRBSI in the SCI were caused by a gram-negative organism as compared with 4 (11%) of 36 infections in the non-SCI group (P<.01). Factors associated with having a gram-negative organism rather than a gram-positive organism as the causative agent of CRBSI were SCI, femoral catheter site, prolonged hospitalization, decubitus ulcer, and urinary catheter.Conclusions
In our medical center, patients with SCI who develop CRBSI are more likely to have an infection with a gram-negative organism than are patients without SCI. This knowledge may guide initial empirical therapy of suspected bloodstream infection. 相似文献13.

Objectives
To describe the functional course over 5 years in patients aged 45 to 85 years with late-onset sequelae of poliomyelitis (LOSP) and to explore the impact of age and comorbidity.Design
Prospective cohort study with 5 measurements over 5 years.Setting
University hospital.Participants
Subjects with LOSP (N=168).Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
FIM, Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form health survey for physical functioning subscale (SF-36-PF), walking test, isokinetic quadriceps strength, and cumulative illness rating scale (CIRS) for comorbidity.Results
The FIM score (mean baseline ± SD, 121±4) and SF-36-PF (mean baseline ± SD, 39.5±24) decreased 2.2 and 3.7 points, respectively, over 5 years independent of age. The distance walked in 2 minutes (mean baseline ± SD, 126.2±34m) decreased 4.5m, quadriceps strength (mean baseline ± SD, 88.0±42.2Nm) declined 7Nm (8%), and CIRS (median baseline=6; range, 0-21) increased 1.5 points. A higher CIRS score was correlated with a lower FIM score and faster decrease in the FIM. A longitudinal model of factors associated with the FIM included sex, age, leg strength sum-score, arm strength sum-score, and CIRS score. The interaction of CIRS and leg strength sum-score with follow-up time was significant. A model of factors associated with SF-36-PF included sex, age, leg strength sum-score, and CIRS score.Conclusions
Despite a reduction in muscle strength, disability increased little in patients with LOSP. Increased age and comorbidity has a negative effect on disability. Comorbidity and the severity of leg paresis affected the course of functional independence but not the course of perceived physical functioning. 相似文献14.

Objective
To describe the types, intensities, and average duration of leisure time physical activities (LTPAs) performed by people with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI).Design
Cross-sectional telephone survey.Setting
General community.Participants
Men and women with SCI (N=347) who reported engaging in LTPA over the previous 3 days.Interventions
Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures
Mean minutes a day of LTPA performed at mild, moderate, and heavy intensities; proportion of respondents performing specific types of LTPA.Results
Participants reported a mean ± SD of 55.15±59.05min/d of LTPA at a mild intensity or greater. Median LTPA was 33.33min/d. More activity was done at a moderate intensity (mean ± SD, 25.49±42.11min/d) than mild (mean ± SD, 19.14±37.77min/d) or heavy intensities (mean ± SD, 10.52±22.17min/d). Most participants reported mild (54%) or moderate intensity LTPA (68%), while a minority reported heavy intensity LTPA (43%). The 3 most frequently reported types of LTPA were resistance training (33%), aerobic exercise (25%), and wheeling (24%). Craftsmanship (mean ± SD, 83.79±96.00min/d) and sports activities (mean ± SD, 60.86±59.76 min/d) were performed for the longest durations.Conclusions
There is considerable variability in daily LTPA among active people with SCI and variability across different types of LTPA in terms of typical durations and intensities. This information can be used to help people with chronic SCI become more active by highlighting activities that meet individual abilities, needs, and desires. 相似文献15.

King LA, St George RJ, Carlson-Kuhta P, Nutt JG, Horak FB. Preparation for compensatory forward stepping in Parkinson's disease.
Objective
To characterize preparation for compensatory stepping in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared with healthy control subjects, and to determine whether levodopa medication improves preparation or the execution phases of the step.Design
Observational study.Setting
Outpatient neuroscience laboratory.Participants
Nineteen participants with idiopathic PD tested both in the on and off levodopa states and 17 healthy subjects.Intervention
Moveable platform with posterior translations of 24cm at 56cm/s.Main Outcome Measures
Compensatory steps forward, in response to a backward surface translation (24cm amplitude at 56cm/s), were categorized according to the presence of an anticipatory postural adjustment (APA) before stepping: no APA, single APA, or multiple APAs. The following step parameters were calculated: step latency, step length, center of mass (CoM) average velocity, and CoM displacement at the step initiation.Results
Lateral APAs were evident in 57% and 42% of trials for people with PD in the off and on medication states, respectively, compared with only 10% of trials for control subjects. Compared with subjects with PD who did not have APAs, those subjects with PD who did make an APA prior to stepping had significantly later (mean ± SEM, 356±16ms vs 305±8ms) and shorter (mean ± SEM, 251±27mm vs 300±16mm) steps, their CoM was significantly farther forward (185±7mm vs 171±5mm) at foot-off, and they took significantly more steps to regain equilibrium. Levodopa did not affect the preparation or execution phase of compensatory stepping. Poor axial scores and reports of freezing in the United Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale were associated with use of 1 or more APAs before compensatory stepping.Conclusions
Lateral postural preparation prior to compensatory stepping in subjects with PD was associated with inefficient balance recovery from external perturbations. 相似文献17.

Jan Y-K, Jones MA, Rabadi MH, Foreman RD, Thiessen A. Effect of wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline angles on skin perfusion over the ischial tuberosity in people with spinal cord injury.
Objective
To investigate the efficacy of wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline on enhancing skin perfusion over the ischial tuberosity in wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI).Design
Repeated-measures, intervention, and outcomes-measure design.Setting
A university research laboratory.Participants
Wheelchair users with SCI (N=11; 9 men, 2 women; mean ± SD age, 37.7±14.2y; body mass index, 24.7±2.6kg/m2; duration of injury, 8.1±7.5y).Interventions
Protocols (N=6) of various wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline angles were randomly assigned to participants. Each protocol consisted of a 5-minute sitting-induced ischemic period and a 5-minute wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline pressure-relieving period. Participants sat in a position without tilt or recline for 5 minutes and then sat in 1 of 6 wheelchair tilted and reclined positions, including (1) 15° tilt-in-space and 100° recline, (2) 25° tilt-in-space and 100° recline, (3) 35° tilt-in-space and 100° recline, (4) 15° tilt-in-space and 120° recline, (5) 25° tilt-in-space and 120° recline, and (6) 35° tilt-in-space and 120° recline. A 5-minute washout period (at 35° tilt-in-space and 120° recline) was allowed between protocols.Main Outcome Measures
Laser Doppler flowmetry was used to measure skin perfusion over the ischial tuberosity in response to changes in body positions caused by performing wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline. Skin perfusion response to wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline was normalized to skin perfusion of the upright seated position (no tilt/recline).Results
Combined with 100° recline, wheelchair tilt-in-space at 35° resulted in a significant increase in skin perfusion compared with the upright seated position (no tilt/recline; P<.05), whereas there was no significant increase in skin perfusion at 15° and 25° tilt-in-space (not significant). Combined with 120° recline, wheelchair tilt-in-space at 15°, 25°, and 35° showed a significant increase in skin perfusion compared with the upright seated position (P<.05).Conclusions
Our results indicate that wheelchair tilt-in-space should be at least 35° for enhancing skin perfusion over the ischial tuberosity when combined with recline at 100° and should be at least 25° when combined with recline at 120°. Although smaller angles of wheelchair tilt-in-space and recline are preferred by wheelchair users for functional purposes, wheelchair tilt-in-space less than 25° and recline less than 100° may not be sufficient for effective pressure reduction for enhancing skin perfusion over the ischial tuberosity in people with SCI. 相似文献18.
Objective

Repeated measures design in both Study 1 (video evaluation) and Study 2 (clinical evaluation).Setting
University department (Study 1) and outpatient physiotherapy department (Study 2).Participants
Sixty physiotherapists and physiotherapy students in Study 1 and 45 patients undergoing physiotherapy treatment for a musculoskeletal injury in Study 2.Intervention
In Study 1, participants rated the adherence of a simulated videotaped patient demonstrating high, moderate and low adherence during rehabilitation. In Study 2, two physiotherapists rated the adherence of patients at two consecutive rehabilitation sessions.Main outcome measure
