Objectives
To evaluate orthopedic surgeon referral of trauma patients to PT.Design
Cross-sectional survey.Setting
Alberta, Canada.Participants
Orthopedic surgeons and residents.Methods
A web-based survey was utilized to poll orthopedic surgeons and residents on referral practices. Statistical analysis using Kruskal–Wallis One-Way Analysis of Variance by Ranks; Post hoc analysis using the minimum significant difference method for multiple comparisons and nonparametric correlations using Spearman’s rho.Results
The overall response rate was 48 %. Key indications for referral were range of motion deficits, failure to progress, strength and gait training. Of those surveyed, 72.5 and 26.1 % felt that there was either moderate or significant improvement following PT, respectively. Years in practice had a significant effect on survey responses. Residents and surgeons in practice for >20 years viewed PT as being less important in orthopedic trauma (p < 0.05) and were less likely to refer orthopedic trauma patients to PT (p < 0.05). Residents were less likely to view PT in orthopedic trauma as evidence-based (0.05) and more likely to disagree with the statement that formalized PT results in better outcomes than a prescribed home exercise program (p < 0.05).Conclusions
There are potential differences in the referral practices of orthopedists of varying levels of experience. Although outcome is viewed as positive following PT, it appears that many orthopedists view a prescribed home exercise program as an acceptable equivalent to formalized PT in the setting of orthopedic trauma. Future research should be directed at determining indicators for formalized PT. 相似文献3.

Polymer capsules containing multiple liposomes, termed capsosomes, are a promising new concept toward the design of artificial cells. Herein, we report on the fundamental aspects underpinning the assembly of capsosomes. A stable and high loading of intact liposomal cargo into a polymer film was achieved by non-covalently sandwiching the liposomes between a tailor-made cholesterol-modified poly(l-lysine) (PLLc) precursor layer and a poly(methacrylic acid)-co-(cholesteryl methacrylate) (PMAc) capping layer. The film assembly, optimized on planar surfaces, was successfully transferred onto colloidal substrates, and a polymer membrane was subsequently assembled by the alternating adsorption of poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) and thiol-modified poly(methacrylic acid) (PMASH) onto the pre-adsorbed layer of liposomes. Upon removal of the silica template, stable capsosomes encapsulating the enzyme luciferase or β-lactamase within their liposomal sub-compartments were obtained at both assembly (pH 4) and physiological conditions (pH 7.4). Excellent retention of the liposomes and the enzymatic cargo within the polymer carrier capsules was observed for up to 14 days. These engineered capsosomes are particularly attractive as autonomous microreactors, which can be utilized to repetitively add smaller reactants to cause successive distinct reactions within the capsosomes and simultaneously release the products to the surrounding environment, bringing these systems one step closer toward constructing artificial cells. 相似文献
