This study aims to fill this gap by examining how nonmotor symptoms affect activities and participation outcomes in wheelchair users with multiple sclerosis (MS). Data from 89 wheelchair users with MS collected through a nationwide survey were analyzed. Participants completed the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function, PROMIS depression, PROMIS pain interference, Fatigue Severity Scale, and measures of self-efficacy and participation. Hierarchical multivariable linear regression was used to assess the impact of nonmotor symptoms on four self-efficacy and participation outcomes beyond physical function. As expected, physical function was a significant predictor of all outcomes: self-efficacy for managing daily activities (β = 0.59, P < 0.01), control over community participation (β = -1.06, P < 0.01), ability to participate (β = 0.46, P < 0.01), and satisfaction with participation in social roles and activities (β = 0.70, P < 0.01). Beyond physical function, nonmotor symptoms accounted for 6% of the variance in self-efficacy, 21% in control over community participation, 29% in ability to participate in social roles and activities, and 13% in satisfaction with participation in social activities. Among these, pain interference emerged as the most consistent nonmotor symptom, significantly associated with poorer outcomes across all domains (P < 0.05). This study demonstrates that nonmotor symptoms, particularly pain interference, are significantly associated with activities and participation outcomes in wheelchair users with MS.","PeriodicalId":14301,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Rehabilitation Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144649422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight male bilateral transfemoral military amputees who underwent implantation with the Osseointegration Group of Australia-Osseointegration Prosthetic Limb prosthesis consented to participate in the study. All patients are routinely reviewed annually in a dedicated clinic, and this paper reports the 6- and 8-year follow-ups. Patient-reported outcomes were assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Complications data were recorded at the 8-year follow-up. The SF-36 physical component score significantly increased from preoperative levels at 6 years (median: 29 vs. 47; P = 0.003) and 8 years (median: 29 vs. 45; P = 0.024). The SF-36 mental health component score improved significantly at 6 years from preop (median: 39 vs. 57; P = 0.011). Among 16 femoral residuums, there was one explantation because of infection at 8.5 years postimplantation, and two cases were managed with long-term suppressive antibiotics. A total of 17 additional procedures were performed on nine residuums: 11 for soft tissue revision, five for infection, and one for fracture repair. This research adds to the growing evidence base that DSF has the potential to enhance the health and well-being of amputee veterans and potentially the broader amputee population.

The study included 35 participants with radiographically confirmed OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grades 2-3). The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index tool was used to assess participants. All participants utilized the Össur Unloader One orthosis, which was equipped with an integrated activPAL sensor to monitor adherence during a 2-week intervention period. WOMAC index demonstrated statistically significant improvement, with mean scores decreasing from 0.67 (0.15) to 0.42 (0.18) at 1 week (P < 0.001) and to 0.32 (0.16) at 2 weeks (P < 0.001) of wearing the orthosis. Notably, after 2 weeks, 86% of participants exceeded established minimal clinically important difference thresholds. ActivPAL data for adherence revealed a significant positive correlation between brace wearing time and clinical improvement (P = 0.008), with participants achieving ≥8 h daily wear time exhibiting the best outcomes (51% improvement in WOMAC index).

However, prolonged tracheostomy use can impact communication, swallowing, and psychological well-being, making timely decannulation a crucial rehabilitation goal. This study examined the time to decannulation and associated factors in patients with ABI by conducting a retrospective review using medical records of patients with ABI admitted to the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (2016-2024). Patients aged ≥18 years, with a tracheostomy tube at admission and who underwent decannulation, were included. The primary outcome was the time to attain decannulation (TAD), with secondary outcomes assessing clinical and functional predictors that may affect TAD. Seventy-seven patients met the inclusion criteria. A total of 77 subjects were included for the analysis, consisting of 19 patients with stroke, 52 patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI), and 6 patients of encephalopathy. The median TAD was 52 days in the overall sample. In simple linear regression, TAD was significantly longer in the stroke than in the TBI subsample (76 vs. 49.5 days, P = 0.019), in younger patients (P = 0.01), and in those admitted earlier to inpatient rehabilitation (P < 0.001). In multiple linear regression, younger age, higher Glasgow Coma Scale scores at admission, and earlier inpatient admission were associated with shorter TAD (P = 0.028, 0.044, <0.001; adjusted R2 = 0.597).

The study included 65 older adults and 55 younger adults. 10MWT-O (obstacle height: 0, 5, 17 cm) was performed on two different days (day 1 and day 2). All participants were assessed by the same assessor on days 1 and 2. Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Time Up and Go (TUG) test, Mini Mental State Test, and Functional Reach Test (FRT) assessments were performed on day 1. 10MWT-O speed for all obstacle heights showed moderate to good correlations with FRT distance ( r = 0.474-0.539, P < 0.001), TUG Test time ( r = -0.722 to -0.671, P < 0.001), and BBS score ( r = 0.619-0.660, P < 0.001). Test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.924-0.960) was found to be within the excellent range for 10MWT-O speed across all obstacle heights. For obstacle heights of 0, 5, and 17 cm, the minimum detectable change for 10MWT-O speed was 0.16, 0.19, and 0.20 m/s, and the optimal cutoff values for differentiating older from young adults were 1.12, 0.98, and 0.85 m/s, respectively. The 10MWT-O is a reliable and valid clinical measure for assessing walking ability and adaptability in older adults.
