Some individuals can develop kinesiophobia and experience a vicious circle of worsening health. This study aimed to investigate the association between pain and physical functional performance/physical activity and determine whether kinesiophobia mediates this association. This was a cross-sectional study with individuals diagnosed with inflammatory arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis or spondyloarthritis) treated at a Rheumatology Outpatient Clinic. We assessed pain (Visual Analogue Scale), physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - long form), kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia), and physical functional performance (Handgrip Strength Dynamometry, 30-second Sit-to-Stand test, Static Muscular Endurance test, and Timed Up and Go test). The mediating effect of kinesiophobia on the relationship between pain intensity and physical functional performance/physical activity was analyzed, and the significance of the mediating effect (kinesiophobia) was tested through a bootstrap approach. Thirty-three individuals with inflammatory arthritis (mean age: 48 ± 12 years) participated in the study. Kinesiophobia mediates the relationship between pain intensity and physical functional performance analyzed by the 30-second Sit-to-Stand test [indirect effect (IE)overall = -0.343, bootstrap 95% confidence interval (CI): -0.698 to -0.002] and by knee flexion at 90º of the dominant limb (IEoverall = -1.55, bootstrap 95% CI: -3.43 to -0.237). In conclusion, pain intensity can affect physical functional performance through kinesiophobia in individuals with inflammatory arthritis.","PeriodicalId":14301,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Rehabilitation Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142500486","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}

Results indicate no significant differences between CPM and physiotherapy groups in the Staffelstein Score (CPM: 94 ± 10 points; group physiotherapy: 92 ± 10 points; P > 0.05), ROM, or pain management at discharge from rehabilitation facility. This study underscores the potential of CPM as a valuable component of TKR rehabilitation, providing comparable outcomes to traditional physiotherapy.

A concern for falling (CFF) includes four subdomains: fear of falling, self-efficacy, consequences of falling, and perceptions of falls.

This cross-sectional online survey evaluated: (1) associations among CFF outcome measures; (2) relationships between falls history and outcome measures; and (3) clinical and demographic factors related with outcome measures. Inclusion criteria: ≥18 years old, unilateral transtibial amputation and ambulating with a prosthesis. Eight measures assessed CFF: visual analog scale fear of falling, Modified Survey of Activities and Fear of Falling in the Elderly (mSAFFE), Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC), Falls Efficacy Scale International (FES-I), Prosthetic Limb Users Survey - Mobility (PLUS-M), Locomotor Capabilities Index, Consequences of Falling Scale, and Perceived Ability to Manage Falls. Pearson bivariate correlation analysis assessed associations among outcome measures. T tests evaluated the association of falls status on outcome scores. Multiple linear regression modelled the clinical and demographic factors related to each measure. Sixty-eight adults (mean 61.8 ± 12.0) participated. Moderate statistically significant (P < 0.001) correlations were found across most outcome measures, with the strongest between PLUS-M and mSAFFE (r = -0.841), and ABC and FES-I (r = -0.821). Faller status was not associated with any measure (P > 0.05). Quality of life was associated with fear of falling, activity avoidance, self-efficacy, and certainty to managing falls (R2 ranged from 0.27 to 0.47).

The objective of this study was to investigate the responsiveness of the ASAS in adult patients with acquired brain injury-related wrist flexor spasticity treated with botulinum neurotoxin A. The responsiveness of the ASAS was assessed by the standardized response mean at the group level. At the individual level, responsiveness was assessed by the percentage of responders and nonresponders. Those who had at least a 1 grade reduction in spasticity severity were considered responders. In addition, the magnitude of the goniometric change in R1 (angle of catch response) across the responders and nonresponders was studied as a distribution of frequency. Significant improvements in R1 and ASAS were achieved with the treatment. The standardized response mean based on the ASAS grades was 1.50 with a 95% confidence interval of 1.16-1.89. At the individual level, 40 of all cases (78.4%) were responders, and 11 (21.6%) were nonresponders. Three of the 11 nonresponders (27.3%) improved R1 beyond the 10 ° margin of error (20, 50, and 50 °). In contrast, the percentage of responders who had a change within the margin of error was 27.5% (11 out of 40).

Patients who underwent amputation for traumatic or vascular reasons and who reported on RLP or PLP were analyzed and divided into three groups: PLP, RLP, or a group of subjects that presented both pains. We searched for factors that affect the occurrence of limb pain using univariate analyses, followed by multinomial logistic regression. Among the 282 participants with transtibial and transfemoral amputations, 192 participants (150 male and 42 female) presented PLP, RLP, or both types of pain, while 90 participants declared to perceive no pain. The estimated prevalence of any type of pain after transfemoral and transtibial amputation was therefore 68% (27% PLP, 10% RLP, and 31% both). Among the studied characteristics, only amputation level was associated with the type of pain ( P = 0.001). Multinomial logistic regression identified transfemoral amputation as the only statistically significant predictor for PLP (odds ratio = 2.8; P = 0.002). Hence, it was estimated that individuals with transfemoral amputation have nearly three times higher odds of experiencing PLP compared with those with transtibial amputation.","PeriodicalId":14301,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Rehabilitation Research","volume":" ","pages":"214-220"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11424063/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141590315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
