While early detection of injurious moments during patient transfers is helpful to lower the risk of such injuries, it remains a critical challenge.ObjectiveWe developed a classification model for injurious and non-injurious patient transfers using a support vector machine (SVM) with inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor data of caregivers.MethodsSixteen young adults simulated one-person patient transfers from bed to wheelchair. During trials, the kinematics and kinetics of transfer movements were recorded with a motion capture system, IMU sensor, and force plate. A simple kinematic model was used to determine compressive forces at L5/S1, which were then used to define injurious transfers. For classification, features were extracted from the IMU sensor data to be used in SVM with different window sizes and lead times. Since characteristics of the compressive forces have been documented in our companion paper, we focus on the classification model in this paper.ResultsClassification models were able to differentiate injurious versus non-injurious transfers with accuracy in the range from 84.9-100%.

However, it is necessary to know the ventilatory requirements of the different field tests.ObjectivesTo verify the agreement of the ventilatory dynamics measured at submaximal exercise between the the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) and the 6-min walk test (6MWT) and, secondarily, to evaluate the correlations of these measurements with clinical and functional variables in women with SSc (wwSSc).MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study in which 30 wwSSc underwent the 6MWT and TGlittre while hooked to a device reading their ventilatory demand. Physical function was assessed on the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI), and lung function was assessed by spirometry.ResultsThe median 6-min walking distance (6MWD) was 344 (282-410) metres, and 25 (83.3%) participants did not reach 80% of the predicted distance. The median TGlittre time was 147 (107-188) seconds, and 18 (60%) participants exceeded 120% of the predicted time. There was agreement between the two tests on the following variables: heart rate (ICC = 0.883, <i>P </i>< 0.0001), breathing reserve (ICC = 0.816, <i>P </i>< 0.0001), peripheral oxygen saturation (ICC = 0.752, <i>P </i>= 0.0009), inspiratory capacity (ICC = 0.690, <i>P </i>< 0.0001), and peak minute ventilation (ICC = 0.433, <i>P </i>= 0.007). There was a weak correlation between 6MWD and TGlittre time (<i>r_s</i>=-0.353, <i>P </i>= 0.05). 6MWD correlated significantly with the HAQ-DI score (<i>r_s</i>=-0.606, <i>P </i>= 0.0004) and forced vital capacity (FVC, <i>r_s</i>= 0.427, <i>P </i>= 0.018).

Single-factor analysis identified factors influencing cage subsidence, followed by multi-factor regression analysis on these variables to determine their impact.ResultsWhen the degree of DH subsidence in the last follow-up (M6) was evaluated, among the 86 patients (102 segments), 26 patients (25.49%) fulfilled the criteria for cage subsidence. Factors with clinical and statistical significance in the single-factor analysis were incorporated into the multi-factor analysis, and it was found that the mean CT value of the concerned segment, multifidus area, and severe multifidus atrophy were relevant risk factors for cage subsidence; the protective factors for cage subsidence were degree III zygapophyseal joint degeneration, posterior cage position, and end-plate inflammation sclerosis (P < 0.05).ConclusionSurgeons should be cautious in preoperatively identifying patients at risk of cage subsidence, particularly those with a low mean CT value of the concerned segment or severe multifidus atrophy.
