Abstract Introduction A component of engaging in functional motor tasks is the ability to assess one’s own motor performance in relationship to that task. Objective The primary purpose of this exploratory study is to investigate gait speed prediction accuracy for patients with neurological conditions participating in an Inpatient Rehabilitation (IPR) program. The secondary purpose was to evaluate what factors contributed to patient judgment error. Methods Nineteen subjects with a neurologic diagnosis who were admitted to an IPR unit were asked to predict their gait speed prior to execution of the 10-meter walk test. Data was analyzed to compare predicted versus actual gait speeds. Results Strong Pearson correlations (r) between actual and predicted gait speeds were found at time 1 (r = 0.90; 95%CI = 0.83, 0.96; p<.001), time 2 (r = 0.87; 95%CI = 0.74, 0.96; p<.001), and time 3 (r = 0.91; 95% CI = 0.82, 0.97; p<.001). Ninety-five percent limits of agreement (LOA) were calculated to be −0.07, 0.30 m/s at time 1; −0.21, 0.37 m/s at time 2; and −0.22, 0.34 at time 3. Conclusions Despite the strong correlations, there appears to be less certainty surrounding the relationship between actual gait speed and predicted gait speed when examining the limits of agreement. In general, subjects ambulated faster than they predicted, underestimating their actual performance. A mismatch between predicted gait speed and actual gait speed performance can have clinical implications.

Abstract Background Adolescents living with perinatal HIV (PHIVA) are a growing population with unique needs. While the impact of HIV on pediatric physical wellbeing is expansively documented, there is only emerging data on the long-term impact of perinatal HIV infection on adolescence and the resultant physical sequelae. Objective This scoping review aimed to identify and describe what is currently known about the physical sequelae that PHIVA face. Method A scoping review was conducted, following the methodology described by the Johanna Briggs Institute manual for Evidence Synthesis. Electronic databases of MEDLINE (PubMed), PEDro, CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Elsevier (Scopus), Elsevier (Science Direct), Google Scholar, CDC Stacks and Open Grey, and reference lists were searched. Two investigators screened the article titles, abstracts and full texts against the inclusion criteria. Data was charted on a data extraction tool, with a descriptive narrative presenting the results. Results Of the 1291 citations screened, eight studies were included. All of the studies were cross-sectional analyses, with only two studies using an HIV-negative comparison group. The studies addressed the physical outcomes of height, weight, body mass index, delayed puberty, physical functioning and activity levels, exercise tolerance and lung function, and pain. These sequelae were categorized into two subgroups: 1) anthropometric characteristics and 2) physical health and functioning. Conclusion The results of this scoping review show that PHIVA face significant physical challenges despite access to antiretroviral therapy. Thus this distinctive population requires unique and specialized healthcare.

Abstract Purpose Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and exercise training have proven effective for dyspnea and exercise tolerance for individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but little is known of its effect on interstitial lung disease (ILD). There is a need in the literature to systematically review the effect of these interventions on individuals with ILD concerning exercise tolerance and/or dyspnea. Methods This systematic review utilized PRISMA guidelines to conduct the reporting of the findings and was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020186513). Databases searched included: PubMed, CINAHL, ProQuest, Scopus, and Web of Science. Independent screening was performed by two authors with a third acting as a tiebreaker when consensus was not reached. Randomized control trials (RCTs) were included with subjects over 18 years old with a diagnosis of ILD who complete either pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) or exercise training interventions and included the six minutes walk test (6MWT) to measure exercise tolerance and/or outcomes to measure dyspnea. Studies were also included if they were published between 2008 through the date of study collection. A quality assessment was then performed on each RCT using the PEDro score with those with a rating of six or greater being included. Results Eight studies meeting inclusion criteria were included in this review with statistical significance reported in seven of the studies for short-term improvements and in two of the studies for long-term improvements in exercise tolerance. Six reported statistical significance for short-term improvements in dyspnea and two studies reported statistical significance for long-term improvements of dyspnea. Conclusion Individuals with ILD demonstrate improvements in exercise tolerance and symptoms of dyspnea after participating in PR or exercise training interventions.
摘要目的肺康复(PR)和运动训练已被证明对慢性阻塞性肺病(COPD)患者的呼吸困难和运动耐受性有效,但对其对间质性肺病(ILD)的影响知之甚少。文献中有必要系统地回顾这些干预措施对ILD患者运动耐受性和/或呼吸困难的影响。方法本系统综述利用PRISMA指南对研究结果进行报告,并在PROSPERO注册(CRD42020186513)。搜索的数据库包括:PubMed、CINAHL、ProQuest、Scopus和Web of Science。两位作者进行了独立筛选,当没有达成共识时,第三位作者充当了决胜局。随机对照试验(RCT)包括18岁以上的受试者 岁,诊断为ILD,完成肺部康复(PR)或运动训练干预,并包括6分钟步行测试(6MWT)以测量运动耐受性和/或结果以测量呼吸困难。如果研究在2008年至研究收集日期之间发表,也包括在内。然后使用PEDro评分对每个随机对照试验进行质量评估,其中包括评分为6分或更高的评分。结果符合纳入标准的8项研究被纳入本综述,其中7项短期改善研究和2项长期改善运动耐受性研究具有统计学意义。6项研究报告了呼吸困难短期改善的统计学意义,2项研究报告呼吸困难长期改善的统计学重要性。结论ILD患者在参与PR或运动训练干预后,运动耐受性和呼吸困难症状均有改善。

Abstract Background Mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS) is a pathological condition characterized by rocking, swaying, and/or a sense of imbalance. The two types of MdDS are known as motion triggered MdDS and spontaneous or other onset MdDS. Objectives The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the effectiveness of vestibular rehabilitation on individuals experiencing the symptoms of MdDS using valid and reliable outcome measures. Methods MEDLINE, ProQuest Medical Database, and Web of Science were the databases utilized in the search process. The search terms included ‘mal de debarquement’ AND ‘intervention’ OR ‘management’ OR ‘rehabilitation’ OR ‘therapy’ OR ‘treatment’. The Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine 2011 Levels of Evidence was utilized in evaluating the evidence level for all of the included articles, and a 10-item tool created by Medlicott and Harris was utilized in evaluating the methodological rigor for all of the included articles. Results Seven articles met the eligibility requirements based upon the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and these articles were qualitatively analyzed. The intervention focused on traditional vestibular rehabilitation in two of the studies and on optokinetic stimulation in the other five studies. Optokinetic stimulation is designed to induce re-adaptation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex. This systematic review found that optokinetic stimulation required a much shorter treatment duration than traditional vestibular rehabilitation to significantly improve the balance and decrease the symptoms of individuals affected with MdDS. Conclusions Clinicians should consider using optokinetic stimulation when treating individuals diagnosed with MdDS, especially those with the motion-triggered subtype.
摘要背景Mal de debarquement综合征(MdDS)是一种以摇摆、摇晃和/或失衡感为特征的病理状态。这两种类型的MdDS被称为运动触发MdDS和自发或其他发作MdDS。目的本系统综述的目的是使用有效和可靠的结果测量来评估前庭康复对经历MdDS症状的个体的有效性。方法MEDLINE、ProQuest医学数据库和Web of Science是搜索过程中使用的数据库。搜索词包括“不良行为”、“干预”、“管理”、“康复”、“治疗”或“治疗”。牛津循证医学中心2011年的证据水平用于评估所有纳入文章的证据水平,Medlicott和Harris创建的10项工具用于评估所有入选文章的方法严谨性。结果根据纳入和排除标准,有7篇文章符合资格要求,并对这些文章进行了定性分析。在其中两项研究中,干预措施侧重于传统前庭康复,在其他五项研究中侧重于光动力学刺激。视动力刺激旨在诱导前庭-眼睛反射的重新适应。这项系统综述发现,与传统的前庭康复相比,光动力刺激需要更短的治疗时间,才能显著改善平衡并减少MdDS患者的症状。结论临床医生在治疗诊断为MdDS的患者时,尤其是运动触发亚型患者时,应考虑使用光动力刺激。

Abstract Background: In order to contain the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic in Italy, a lockdown was issued in March 2020, which has forced people to spend much more time at home. While it is recognised that the associated change in life habits has changed their psychological well-being, quality of life also depends on physical well-being. This is particularly important for those with musculoskeletal conditions, such as spinal pain. Objectives: Recognising that spinal pain is a bio-psycho-social pathology, we developed a questionnaire to investigate potential associations between the level of disability caused by spinal pain (that arose or increased during the lockdown period) and the perception of the respondents with respect to the limitations of activities of daily living. Methods: In the absence of similar tools in the literature, a dedicated questionnaire tool was developed and piloted. It consists of 4 parts: two self-report questionnaires specially formulated for this study, and two already validated questionnaires. It was administered to 110 participants from 10 private rehabilitation facilities. All subjects were of age and had lumbar and/or cervical spine pain occurring before or during the lockdown period with non-traumatic etiopathogenesis. Results: The majority of participants perceived their spine pain as having arisen or increased during the lockdown period. The existence of a probable connection between this perception and the degree of disability at the time of the survey is confirmed by the contingency tables between this item of the second questionnaire and both disability scales which showed a statistically significant correlation. Conclusions: The survey tool was found to be valid in this population, and is recommended for further studies.
