Background
Patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy demonstrate significantly reduced peak torques at the peripheral joints.
Objectives
The aim of this study was to assess isometric and concentric peak torques of the hip joint in people with type II diabetes with and without peripheral neuropathy in comparison with healthy participants.
Methods
27 patients with type II diabetes including 15 patients without peripheral neuropathy, 12 patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy and 15 healthy people participated. Isometric and concentric peak torques of hip flexion, extension, adduction and abduction of the non-dominant leg were measured by motorized dynamometer.
Results
Peak and average peak concentric torques of the hip extension and abduction in patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy were lower than those patients with diabetes and control group. Angle of extension peak torque was significantly greater in patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy compared with other groups. Angle of flexion peak torque was lower in the patients with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy.
Conclusions
Torque related parameters in patients with type II diabetes with or without peripheral neuropathy, are different from healthy subjects. As a result, patients with diabetes especially with peripheral neuropathy are more susceptible of injury and disability in lower limbs.

Background
knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent condition. Little is known about whether treatments provided by physiotherapists to patients with knee OA in Nigeria follow recommended clinical practice guidelines.
Objective
The aims of this study were to investigate Nigerian physiotherapists' treatment preferences for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to evaluate if their preferences were in line with contemporary clinical practice guidelines and recommendations.
Methods
A cross-sectional survey of 267 physiotherapists from various health institutions in Nigeria were surveyed, using a structured questionnaire incorporating a clinical vignette on knee OA.
Results
Based on the clinical vignette, the majority of the respondents (68.2%) recommended review of x-rays as part of the diagnostic process for knee OA. Thermotherapy was the most utilized modality (86.1%), followed by therapeutic exercise (81.3%). Only 11.1% of the physiotherapists used therapeutic exercise alone. Manual therapy in conjunction with other modalities was the choice for 18% of the physiotherapists. Only 49.1% of the physiotherapists reported including advice on weight control and up to 39% reported bed rest as part of the treatment approach.
Conclusion
There was a poor consensus among the physiotherapists in Nigeria on how knee OA is managed compared with contemporary clinical guidelines and recommendations which emphasized application of core modalities, such as therapeutic exercises, patients' education, and weight control over passive modalities. Some areas of practice are in line with contemporary guidelines, while some were in conflict with evidence-based practice.

Background
Adequate sleep improves physical and mental alertness. However, there is a dearth of empirical data on functional capacity (FC) and sleep quality (SpQ) in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF).
Objective
This study investigated the relationship between FC and SpQ of patients with CHF and apparently healthy controls (HCs).
Methods
This case-control study recruited 50 patients with CHF whose left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was <40%, attending cardiac clinics of selected government hospitals in Osun State. Furthermore, 50 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were recruited as controls. Socio-demographic characteristics and cardiovascular parameters were assessed. The FC (VO2 max) and SpQ were assessed using the 6-minute walk test (6-MWT) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), respectively. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Alpha level was set at p < 0.05.
Results
Patients had a significantly lower FC and poorer SpQ than HCs, 4.6 ± 0.5 versus 11.3 ± 1.6 mL/kg/min (t = −3.452; p = 0.001) and 8.74 ± 1.6 versus 3.8 ± 1.3 (t = −5.371; p = 0.001), respectively. HCs were about five times more likely to walk longer distance [odds ratio (OR), 4.8; confidence interval (CI), 2.0–11.1] and had a better heart rate (OR, 2.8; CI, 1.4–5.3) than patients. SpQ had a significant negative correlation with FC of patients (r = −0.362; p = 0.001) but a significant positive correlation with HCs (r = 0.481; p = 0.041). Furthermore, there were significant correlations between FC and body mass index in both groups (CHF: r = 0.247, p = 0.022; HCs: r = 0.321, p = 0.040).
Conclusion
Patients with heart failure demonstrated lower functional capacity and poorer sleep quality.
充足的睡眠可以提高身体和精神的警觉性。然而，关于慢性心力衰竭(CHF)患者的功能容量(FC)和睡眠质量(SpQ)的经验数据缺乏。目的探讨慢性心力衰竭(CHF)患者与表面健康对照组(HCs) FC和SpQ的关系。方法本病例对照研究招募50例左室射血分数(LVEF)为40%的CHF患者，在奥松州选定的政府医院心脏门诊就诊。此外，还招募了50名年龄和性别匹配的健康个体作为对照。评估社会人口学特征和心血管参数。分别采用6分钟步行测试(6-MWT)和匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)评估FC (VO2 max)和SpQ。数据分析采用描述性和推断性统计。α水平设为p <0.05.结果患者的FC和SpQ均显著低于对照组，分别为4.6±0.5 mL/kg/min和11.3±1.6 mL/kg/min (t =−3.452;p = 0.001)和8.74±1.6和3.8±1.3 (t =−5.371;P = 0.001)。高脂肪人群行走较长距离的可能性是正常人的5倍[优势比(OR)， 4.8;置信区间(CI)， 2.0-11.1]，心率更好(OR, 2.8;CI(1.4-5.3)高于患者。SpQ与患者FC呈显著负相关(r = - 0.362;p = 0.001)，但与hcc呈显著正相关(r = 0.481;p = 0.041)。此外，两组的FC与体重指数之间存在显著相关性(CHF: r = 0.247, p = 0.022;HCs: r = 0.321, p = 0.040)。结论心力衰竭患者功能能力下降，睡眠质量较差。

Background
With the development of computer technology, computerized dynamic posturography provides objective assessments of balance and posture control under static and dynamic conditions. Although a force-instrumented treadmill-based balance assessment is feasible for balance evaluations, currently no data exists.
Objective
This study was undertaken to assess the reliability and validity of balance evaluations using a force-instrumented treadmill.
Methods
Ten healthy adults participated in evaluations using both the treadmill and the EquiTest. Four balance evaluations were conducted: Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance, Unilateral Stance, Weight Bearing Squat, and Motor Control Test.
Results
All balance evaluations using the force-instrumented treadmill method shared good reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient ≥0.6). The Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance, Unilateral Stance, and Weight Bearing Squat evaluations had a correlation of r < 0.5 with EquiTest, whereas the Motor Control Test balance evaluation had moderate correlations (r > 0.5) with the EquiTest.
Conclusion
The results demonstrated that all balance evaluations using the force-instrumented treadmill were reliable, and that the Motor Control Test evaluation was moderately correlated with the EquiTest. Therefore, the use of a force-instrumented treadmill in balance evaluations might provide a certain level of value to clinical practice.

Background
Foam rolling (FR) is a ubiquitous intervention utilised for the purpose of acutely increasing the range of motion without subsequent decreases in performance. Thus, it is commonly used during the periworkout period—that is, prior to, during, or after an athlete's workout.
Objective
This study investigated how different FR durations applied to the quadriceps during the interset rest periods affects the numbers of repetitions in the knee extension exercise.
Methods
Twenty-five females completed four sets of knee extensions with 10 repetitions of maximum load to concentric failure on four occasions. Between each set, a 4-minute rest interval was implemented in which participants either passively rested or performed FR for different durations (60 seconds, 90 seconds, and 120 seconds). The 95% confidence intervals revealed a dose-dependent relationship in which longer durations of FR resulted in fewer completed repetitions.
Results
On average, the number of repetitions with PR was 13.8% greater than that in FR120, 8.6% greater than that in FR90, and 9.1% greater than that in FR60.
Conclusion
For the purposes of performance and likely adaptation, interset FR seems to be detrimental to a person's ability to continually produce force, and should not be applied to the agonist muscle group between sets of knee extensions.

Objective
The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA) scale to measure balance and gait impairments in individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA).
Methods
A convenient sample of 25 individuals with bilateral OA knee were recruited. The convergent validity was determined by correlation analysis between scores of Berg Balance Scale (BBS) with balance subscale (POMA-B) and the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) with gait subscale (POMA-G). The intrarater reliability [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC 3,1)], the Bland–Altman plots limits of agreement (LOA), the standard error of measurement (SEM), minimum detectable change (MDC) and ceiling/floor effects were determined.
Results
Score of BBS was significantly correlated with POMA-B scores, rs = 0.63, p = 0.001, whereas TUGT showed a negative correlation with POMA-G, rs = −0.481, p = 0.020, showing moderate convergent validity. ICC results of the total POMA scale (POMA-T), POMA-B, and POMA-G were 0.96, 0.93, and 0.96, respectively, indicating high test retest reliability. SEM, for POMA-T, POMA-B, and POMA-G was 0.35, 0.27, and 0.35, respectively; MDC values were 0.97 for POMA-T, 0.75 for POMA-B, and 0.63 for POMA-G.
Conclusion
The findings indicate that the POMA is a valid and reliable tool to assess balance and gait impairments in people with OA knee.
目的本研究的目的是确定Tinetti性能导向活动能力评估(POMA)量表的心理测量特性，以测量膝关节骨关节炎(OA)患者的平衡和步态障碍。方法选取25例双侧OA膝关节患者作为方便样本。通过Berg平衡量表(BBS)与平衡子量表(POMA-B)和计时起跑测验(TUGT)与步态子量表(POMA-G)的相关分析来确定收敛效度。确定了内部信度[类内相关系数(ICC 3,1)]、Bland-Altman图一致限(LOA)、测量标准误差(SEM)、最小可检测变化(MDC)和天花板/地板效应。结果BBS评分与POMA-B评分呈显著相关(rs = 0.63, p = 0.001)， TUGT与POMA-G评分呈负相关(rs = - 0.481, p = 0.020)，具有中等收敛效度。总POMA量表(POMA- t)、POMA- b和POMA- g的ICC结果分别为0.96、0.93和0.96，表明测试重测信度较高。POMA-T、POMA-B和POMA-G的SEM分别为0.35、0.27和0.35;POMA-T的MDC值为0.97,POMA-B为0.75,POMA-G为0.63。结论研究结果表明，POMA是评估OA膝关节患者平衡和步态障碍的有效可靠工具。
