Background and purpose: To identify the paediatric curriculum content covered in entry-level physiotherapy programs within the United Kingdom (UK), and report faculties perceived importance. Strengths, weaknesses, barriers and facilitators, to the implementation of paediatric content were explored.

Methods: A cross-sectional online questionnaire captured entry-level physiotherapy programme leaders' perceptions of paediatric programs.

Results: Fifty-five responses were submitted, providing a 67% completion rate. Faculty perceived that students' felt the inclusion of paediatric content within the curricula was 'Important' (Mean 3.60 ± SD 0.74). Of 30 diagnoses surveyed, only two were covered 'Well' within curriculums, despite 23 rated at least 'Important' by respondents. Of the 18 assessment/examination components, 13 were covered 'Well' with five 'Somewhat'. All were considered to be at least 'Important'. Perceived strengths were grouped into three main categories (1) integrated/lifespan approach, (2) links to clinical specialists, and (3) a broad/detailed curriculum. Perceived weaknesses included curriculum time pressures and paediatric placement availability.

Discussion: The majority of paediatric conditions were only somewhat covered by UK curriculums, despite respondents in the main believing they should be an important element of the entry-level syllabus. Some UK physiotherapy entry-level students may not be exposed to any paediatric teaching or clinical placements.

背景和目的:确定英国初级物理治疗项目中涵盖的儿科课程内容,并报告各学院的重要性。探讨了儿科内容实施的优势、劣势、障碍和促进因素。方法:一份横断面在线问卷调查了初级物理治疗项目负责人对儿科项目的看法。结果:提交了55份答复,完成率为67%。教员们认为,学生们认为将儿科内容纳入课程是“重要的”(平均3.60±SD 0.74)。在接受调查的30项诊断中,只有两项在课程中涵盖“良好”,尽管23项被受访者评为至少“重要”。在18个评估/检查组成部分中,有13个是“好”,5个是“差不多”。所有这些都被认为至少是“重要的”。感知优势分为三大类:(1)综合/寿命方法,(2)与临床专家的联系,以及(3)广泛/详细的课程。所感知到的弱点包括课程时间压力和儿科安置的可用性。讨论:尽管受访者基本上认为儿科疾病应该是入门级教学大纲的重要组成部分,但英国的课程只涵盖了大多数儿科疾病。一些英国物理治疗入门级学生可能不会接触任何儿科教学或临床实习。

Background and purpose: The World Health Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS 2.0) was developed to assess health and disability based on the biopsychosocial model. The WHODAS 2.0 has not been validated for Brazilians with chronic non-specific low back pain (LBP). We aimed to evaluate the reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity of the Brazilian version of the WHODAS 2.0 in patients with chronic LBP.

Methods: Methodological study. The Brazilian version of the WHODAS 2.0 was applied to 100 volunteers with chronic nonspecific LBP. Test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity were assessed using the Spearman correlation test, Cronbach's alpha (α) coefficient, and Spearman's correlation test between WHODAS 2.0, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ), respectively.

Results: WHODAS 2.0 showed satisfactory test-retest reliability with a moderate correlation for total WHODAS 2.0 (r = 0.75, p < 0.05). Internal consistency was adequate for all domains and total score (α = 0.82-0.96). Regarding construct validity, WHODAS 2.0, ODI (r = 0.70, p < 0.05), and WHODAS 2.0 and RMDQ (r = 0.71, p < 0.05) had significant correlations. Total WHODAS 2.0 and FABQ-Phys subscale scores correlated moderately (r = 0.66, p < 0.05).

Discussion: The Brazilian WHODAS 2.0 was proved to be a valid and reliable tool for patients with chronic LBP. The item referring to sexual intercourse had 27% and 30% of the missing values during the test and retest stage, respectively and had a high percentage of missing data for work-related questions (41% missing data) in the life activities domain; therefore, the data must be interpreted with caution.

Implications for physiotherapy practice: WHODAS 2.0 can be used as a disability assessment strategy from a biopsychosocial perspective in this population.

背景和目的:世界健康残疾评估计划2.0(WHODAS 2.0)是基于生物心理社会模型制定的,旨在评估健康和残疾。WHODAS 2.0尚未针对患有慢性非特异性腰痛(LBP)的巴西人进行验证。我们旨在评估巴西版WHODAS2.0在慢性LBP患者中的可靠性、内部一致性和结构有效性。方法:方法学研究。巴西版WHODAS 2.0应用于100名患有慢性非特异性LBP的志愿者。采用Spearman相关检验、Cronbachα系数和Spearman相关性检验,分别对WHODAS2.0、Oswestry残疾指数(ODI)、Roland-Morris残疾问卷(RMDQ)和恐惧回避信念问卷(FABQ)进行信度、内部一致性和构念有效性评估。结果:WHODAS 2.0显示出令人满意的重新测试可靠性,与WHODAS总2.0具有中等相关性(r=0.75,p讨论:巴西WHODAS 2.0被证明是治疗慢性LBP患者的有效和可靠的工具。在测试和重新测试阶段,涉及性交的项目分别有27%和30%的缺失值,在生活活动领域,与工作相关的问题有很高比例的缺失数据(41%的缺失数据);因此,必须谨慎解读这些数据。物理治疗实践的启示:WHODAS 2.0可以作为一种从生物心理社会角度对该人群进行残疾评估的策略。

Background and purpose: Pressure biofeedback is a tool that can detect the movement of a structure and may be used as an indicator of muscle function. It's widely used to measure the transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle activity. Pressure biofeedback (PBU) monitors the abdominal wall movement by measuring the pressure change during abdominal hollowing and can indirectly evaluate the TrA muscle function, which is considered as a valuable tool. The evaluation of the training of core muscles, including the transversus abdominis, requires a reliable outcome. Various methods using different positions are used to evaluate the transversus abdominis muscle function. However, it is noted that a standard way of evaluation and training still needs to be improved in research and clinical practice. This technical report discusses the optimal position and technique to measure the TrA muscle activity using PBU, with discussions on the merits and demerits of the body positions.

Methods: The technical report is presented with a literature review of the PBU measurement of TrA and through observation in the clinical practice. The evaluation methods of TrA, including the position to activate and isolate, are discussed in detail.

Results: Training core muscles does not imply TrA activation, and evaluating isolated TrA and multifidus is essential before intervention. The abdominal drawing-in maneuver effectively activates TrA in various evaluation positions of the body, but when using PBUs, it would be valid in a prone position.

Discussion: Different body positions are practiced to train TrA and core muscles using PBU, commonly adopted by practice are in supine. It's noted that most of the studies lack in establishing the effectiveness of the position in evaluating the TrA muscle activity using PBU. The need for insight into an appropriate technique for evaluating TrA activity is addressed in this technical report. This report presents key points on the complete technique and concludes that the prone position is superior to other positions and recommended for measuring and recording the TrA activity using a PBU.

背景和目的:压力生物反馈是一种可以检测结构运动的工具,可以用作肌肉功能的指标。它被广泛用于测量腹横肌(TrA)的活动。压力生物反馈(PBU)通过测量腹部凹陷过程中的压力变化来监测腹壁运动,并可以间接评估TrA肌肉功能,这被认为是一种有价值的工具。评估核心肌肉的训练,包括腹横肌,需要一个可靠的结果。使用不同位置的各种方法来评估腹横肌的功能。然而,值得注意的是,在研究和临床实践中,标准的评估和培训方式仍需改进。本技术报告讨论了使用PBU测量TrA肌肉活动的最佳位置和技术,并讨论了身体位置的优缺点。方法:本技术报告对TrA的PBU测量进行了文献综述,并在临床实践中进行了观察。详细讨论了TrA的评价方法,包括激活和分离的位置。结果:训练核心肌肉并不意味着TrA激活,在干预前评估分离的TrA和多裂肌是至关重要的。腹部牵引动作在身体的各种评估位置有效地激活TrA,但当使用PBU时,它在俯卧位置是有效的。讨论:采用PBU训练不同体位的TrA和核心肌,通常采用仰卧位。值得注意的是,大多数研究都缺乏确定使用PBU评估TrA肌肉活动的位置的有效性。本技术报告阐述了深入了解评估TrA活性的适当技术的必要性。本报告介绍了完整技术的关键点,并得出结论,俯卧姿势优于其他姿势,建议使用PBU测量和记录TrA活动。

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a major threat to public health worldwide and is predicted to increase. Existing interventions to implement clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) seem to be used mainly in the Western world. We conducted a structured educational program on the evidence-based management of OA (BOA) for Indian physical therapists (PT). Our study aimed to describe Indian PTs' knowledge, attitudes and confidence on evidence-based management of OA, and their perceptions of a course on this subject.

Methods: The 2-day course included didactic parts and practical skills training. Thirty-five PTs participated and answered a questionnaire. Fourteen of them participated in focus group interviews. Questionnaire data are presented as medians and full ranges. Manifest content analysis was used to analyze interview data that are presented as catagories illustrated by interview quotes. The formal ethics permission was granted.

Results: 74% of PTs agreed that radiography determines the type of treatment required, and 69% agreed that a prescription for exercise is enough to ensure adherence. PTs agreed (mean 5 on 6-point scale) that exercises increasing pain should be advised against. Confidence in guiding the physical activity was generally high (≥5 on 6-point scales). Five categories reflected participants' perceptions of the course content: Shift in management focus, Need for cultural adaptation, Importance of social support, Development of organization and collaboration, and Feelings of hesitation.

Discussion: Our results indicate that in order to facilitate the implementation of CPGs, PT curricula may consider the inclusion of knowledge on CPGs, focus more on students' own reflections on transforming theory into practice, and incorporate training of basic skills required for implementation of self-management, body awareness, and neuromuscular fitness. If given access and mandates, PTs may play a major role in the early diagnosis and treatment of OA and thus contribute to the prevention of an epidemic of OA in India.

目的:骨关节炎(OA)是世界范围内对公众健康的主要威胁,预计还会增加。实施临床实践指南(CPG)的现有干预措施似乎主要在西方世界使用。我们为印度物理治疗师(PT)开展了一项关于OA循证管理(BOA)的结构化教育计划。我们的研究旨在描述印度PT对OA循证管理的知识、态度和信心,以及他们对该主题课程的看法。方法:为期2天的课程包括教学部分和实践技能培训。35名PT参与并回答了一份问卷。其中14人参加了焦点小组访谈。问卷数据以中位数和全范围表示。清单内容分析用于分析访谈数据,这些数据以访谈引文所示的分类形式呈现。获得了正式的道德许可。结果:74%的PT同意射线照相术决定了所需的治疗类型,69%的PT同意运动处方足以确保依从性。PT同意(6分制的平均值为5),建议不要进行增加疼痛的运动。指导体育活动的信心通常很高(在6分制中≥5分)。五个类别反映了参与者对课程内容的看法:管理重点的转变、文化适应的需要、社会支持的重要性、组织和协作的发展以及犹豫的感觉。讨论:我们的研究结果表明,为了促进CPG的实施,PT课程可以考虑将知识纳入CPG,更多地关注学生自己将理论转化为实践的反思,并纳入实施自我管理、身体意识和神经肌肉健身所需的基本技能培训。如果获得授权,PT可能在OA的早期诊断和治疗中发挥重要作用,从而有助于预防印度OA的流行。

Background and purpose: Gait disorders in individuals with Parkinson's disease (IwPD) are among the most disabling symptoms. Physical exercise has been proposed for the treatment of IwPD because it shows positive effects on gait variables. Given the importance of physical activity in the rehabilitation process of IwPD, the assessment of interventions to identify those most promising for improving or maintaining gait performance is of great relevance. Therefore, this study evaluated the effects of Mat Pilates Training (MPT) and Multicomponent Training (MCT) on the spatiotemporal variables of gait in situations of daily dual-task performance in IwPD. Gait analysis in a daily dual-task context allows the simulation of real-life conditions where individuals have a higher risk of falling than in single-task walking.

Methods: We conducted a single-blinded randomized controlled trial with 34 mild-to-moderate IwPD (Hoehn-Yahr stage 1-2). They were randomized to one of two interventions: MPT or MCT. All participants performed the training for 60 min, three times per week, for 20 weeks. Spatiotemporal gait variables were evaluated in a daily life situation to increase the ecological validity of the measurements, which included gait speed, stride time, double support time, swing time, and cadence. The individuals walked on a platform holding two bags with a load corresponding to 10% of their body mass.

Results: After the intervention, there was a significant improvement in gait speed in both groups: MPT (p = 0.047) and MCT (p = 0.015). The MPT group reduced the cadence (p = 0.005) and the MCT group increased the stride length (p = 0.026) after the intervention.

Discussion: Both groups had positive effects on gait speed with load transport resulting from the two proposed interventions. However, the MPT group showed a spatiotemporal adjustment of speed and cadence that can increase gait stability, which was not found in the MCT group.

背景和目的:帕金森病患者的步态障碍是最常见的致残症状之一。由于体育锻炼对步态变量有积极影响,因此有人建议将其用于治疗IwPD。鉴于体育活动在IwPD康复过程中的重要性,评估干预措施以确定那些最有希望改善或保持步态表现的干预措施具有重要意义。因此,本研究评估了垫式普拉提训练(MPT)和多成分训练(MCT)对IwPD日常双任务表现情况下步态时空变量的影响。在日常双任务环境中的步态分析可以模拟现实生活中的情况,在这种情况下,个人摔倒的风险比单任务行走更高。方法:我们对34例轻度至中度IwPD(Hoehn-Yahr 1-2期)进行了单盲随机对照试验。他们被随机分为两种干预措施之一:MPT或MCT。所有参与者进行了60分钟的训练,每周三次,为期20周。在日常生活中评估时空步态变量,以提高测量的生态有效性,包括步态速度、步幅时间、双支撑时间、摆动时间和节奏。受试者拿着两个袋子在平台上行走,袋子的负荷相当于他们体重的10%。结果:干预后,两组的步态速度都有显著改善:MPT(p=0.047)和MCT(p=0.015)。干预后,MPT组降低了步频(p=0.005),MCT组增加了步幅(p=0.026)。讨论:两组都对步态速度和负荷转移产生了积极影响,这是由两种拟议的干预措施引起的。然而,MPT组表现出速度和节奏的时空调节,可以提高步态稳定性,这在MCT组中没有发现。

Background and purpose: Studies that analyze gait without physical assistance recovery post-stroke are scarce. There are few of the studies that analyze longitudinally the recovery of balance during the subacute post-stroke inpatient rehabilitation. The aim of the study was to analyze the association between balance recovery during subacute stroke inpatient rehabilitation and gait without physical assistance achievement. Secondarily, to analyze the association between balance at admission of inpatient rehabilitation and gait without physical assistance achievement.

Methods: An observational, longitudinal, and retrospective cohort study was conducted. Subacute stroke subjects with an admission Berg Balance Scale below or equal to 4 points were included (n = 164). Two logistic regression models were developed. Model 1 analyzes the association between balance recovery during inpatient rehabilitation and gait without physical assistance at discharge. Model 2 analyzes the association between balance at the admission and gait without physical assistance at discharge.

Results: Of 164 severe post-stroke patients, 60 (36.5%) achieved gait without physical assistance. Although the two models developed a statistically significant association (p < 0.001), Model 1 evinced better discrimination performance (Model 1: area below the curve was of 0.987 -CI 95%: 0.975-0.998- vs. Model 2: area below the curve 2 was of 0.705 -CI 95%: 0.789-0.601-).

Discussion: Balance recovery during rehabilitation was strongly associated with gait without physical assistance achievement at the time of discharge in severe subacute post-stroke patients.

Implications for physiotherapy practice: The longitudinal analysis of motor recovery in severe subacute post-stroke patients may be helpful in the decision making process during inpatient rehabilitation.

背景和目的:分析卒中后无肢体辅助恢复步态的研究很少。很少有研究纵向分析亚急性脑卒中后住院康复期间的平衡恢复。本研究的目的是分析亚急性脑卒中住院康复期间的平衡恢复与无肢体辅助步态之间的关系。其次,分析住院康复时的平衡与无肢体辅助步态成绩之间的关系。方法:采用观察性、纵向和回顾性队列研究。纳入入院Berg平衡量表低于或等于4分的亚急性中风受试者(n=164)。建立了两个逻辑回归模型。模型1分析了住院康复期间的平衡恢复与出院时没有身体帮助的步态之间的关系。模型2分析了入院时的平衡和出院时没有身体帮助的步态之间的关系。结果:在164名严重脑卒中后患者中,60人(36.5%)在没有身体帮助的情况下步态正常。尽管这两个模型建立了具有统计学意义的关联(p讨论:在严重亚急性脑卒中后患者出院时,康复过程中的平衡恢复与没有身体辅助的步态成绩密切相关。对物理治疗实践的启示:对严重亚急性卒中后患者运动恢复的纵向分析可能有助于住院康复期间的决策过程。

Objective: To summarize the current evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the effectiveness of Virtual Reality (VR) training and functional mobility in older adults with fear of movement. TYPE: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Methodology: An electronic search was performed using PubMed, Embase, Medline, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and CINAHL. A data search from January 2015 to December 2022 and a manual electronic literature search were conducted to identify published RCTs. The effectiveness of VR-based balance training for balance and gait was evaluated in older adults with a fear of movement, which was measured by the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and the Falls Efficacy Scale (FES). Three reviewers independently performed the study selection, and the quality assessment of the included studies was performed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. The reporting was based on the new Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) Guidelines.

Synthesis: The search product produced 345 results, from which 23 full text articles were studied. Seven RCTs of good methodological quality, including 265 participants, were included in the review. Overall, the studies reported that VR had a significant improvement on the TUG (Cohen's d = -0.91 [-1.38; -0.44], p = 0.001), while the FES was not significantly different (Cohen's d = -0.54 [-1.80; 0.71] p = 0.40). The average for PEDro scores (6.14) was good, and the risk of bias revealed that more than one-third of the studies correctly described the random sequence generation and allocation concealment procedures.

Conclusion: VR-based training is effective on balance or gait training based on the TUG; however, there were mixed results to improve FES scores following VR intervention. These inconsistent results might be limited due to variations in the studies, including heterogeneous training paradigms, sensitive outcome measures, small sample sizes, and short intervention durations, which limit the validity of our findings. Future investigations should compare different VR protocols to help establish better guidelines for clinicians.

目的:总结随机对照试验(RCTs)中关于虚拟现实(VR)训练和功能性移动在有运动恐惧的老年人中的有效性的最新证据。类型:随机临床试验的系统综述和荟萃分析。方法:使用PubMed、Embase、Medline、SPORTDiscus、Scopus和CINAHL进行电子搜索。进行了2015年1月至2022年12月的数据搜索和手动电子文献搜索,以确定已发表的随机对照试验。基于VR的平衡训练对运动恐惧的老年人的平衡和步态的有效性进行了评估,并通过定时上下(TUG)测试和跌倒效能量表(FES)进行了测量。三名评审员独立进行了研究选择,并使用物理治疗证据数据库(PEDro)量表对纳入的研究进行了质量评估。报告基于新的系统评价和荟萃分析首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南。综合:搜索产品产生345个结果,其中研究了23篇全文文章。包括265名参与者在内的7项方法学质量良好的随机对照试验被纳入审查。总体而言,研究报告VR对TUG有显著改善(Cohen’s d=-0.91[1.38;-0.44],p=0.001),而FES没有显著差异(Cohen‘s d=-0.54[1.80;0.71]p=0.40)。PEDro评分的平均值(6.14)良好,偏倚风险显示,超过三分之一的研究正确描述了随机序列生成和分配隐藏程序。结论:基于VR的训练对基于TUG的平衡或步态训练是有效的;然而,VR干预后改善FES评分的结果喜忧参半。这些不一致的结果可能由于研究的变化而受到限制,包括异质性训练范式、敏感的结果测量、小样本量和短干预时间,这些都限制了我们研究结果的有效性。未来的研究应该比较不同的VR协议,以帮助为临床医生制定更好的指南。

Background and purpose: Negative attitudes towards disability amongst healthcare professionals endanger social inclusion of people with disabilities (PwD). This study aimed to investigate the attitude of undergraduate healthcare students of various disciplines towards PwD, including specific aspects of their attitude.

Methods: We assessed the attitudes of university students, including physiotherapy, speech therapy, nursing, social work and medical students, through the Greek Interaction with Disabled Person Scale (IDPS) in a survey. Data were analysed using a two-step clustering technique.

Results: Four hundred-eighty undergraduate healthcare students (21.4 ± 5.3 years-old; 135 males, 345 females) were recruited. Two-step cluster analysis identified three homogenous subgroups labelled Least positive attitude (42.3%), Moderately positive attitude (26.9%), and Most positive attitude (30.8%) groups. Τhe main differences in healthcare students' attitudes between the three distinct groups appeared to be in feelings of sympathy, fear and susceptibility towards disability, suggesting that these aspects of attitude needed to be primarily addressed. Results also revealed that females, being in higher semester/year of studies, having completed a clinical module with PwD and having frequent contact with PwD were related to more positive attitudes.

Conclusion: Taking into account that the majority of the healthcare students' sample yielded least and moderately positive attitudes, towards PwD, further actions should be taken for promoting more positive attitudes towards disability. A social model in teaching to increase student's awareness of PwD and skills to work with these people, having PwD themselves teaching such modules, focussing on positive experiences and reminding the students of the benefits of having positive attitudes towards PwD, as well as promoting ways to increase the contact of healthcare students with PwD (such as teaching in co-operation with organisations of PwD or finding alternative clinical placements with PwD), can be beneficial in promoting more positive attitudes towards disability.

背景和目的:医疗保健专业人员对残疾的负面态度危及残疾人的社会包容。本研究旨在调查不同学科的本科生对普华永道的态度,包括他们态度的具体方面。方法:采用希腊残疾人互动量表(IDPS)对大学生的态度进行调查,包括物理治疗、言语治疗、护理、社会工作和医学生。使用两步聚类技术对数据进行分析。结果:共招募了480名本科生(21.4±5.3岁;135名男性,345名女性)。两步聚类分析确定了三个同质亚组,分别为最不积极态度组(42.3%)、中等积极态度(26.9%)和最积极态度(30.8%)。三个不同群体之间的医护学生态度的主要差异似乎是同情、恐惧和对残疾的易感性,这表明需要主要解决这些方面的态度。研究结果还显示,女性在上学期/年的学习中,完成了普华永道的临床模块,并经常与普华永道接触,与更积极的态度有关。结论:考虑到大多数医疗保健学生对PwD的态度最低和中等积极,应采取进一步行动,促进对残疾的更积极态度。一种社会教学模式,旨在提高学生对普华永道的认识和与这些人合作的技能,让普华永道自己教授这些模块,关注积极的体验,并提醒学生对普华永道持积极态度的好处,以及推广增加医疗保健学生与普华永道接触的方法(例如与普华永道组织合作教学或与普华永道寻找替代临床实习),都有利于促进对残疾的更积极态度。

Background: There has been a growing interest in demonstrating the health benefits of exercise among people with epilepsy in recent years. Although exercise is recommended for people with epilepsy, there is uncertainty concerning the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise on multiple health outcomes in epilepsy.

Purpose: The aim of this trial was to examine the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise training on physical activity, seizure frequency, health-related physical fitness, mental, emotional, and psychological health status, and quality of life.

Methods: This study was designed as a single-center, 8-week, randomized controlled trial in a three-arm parallel group. Participants will be randomly allocated to yoga, aerobic exercise, or wait-list control groups. The primary outcome is physical activity/sedentary behavior measured by the ActiGraph GT9X accelerometer and seizure frequency. Secondary outcomes include functional capacity, lower extremity strength, balance, body composition, waist and hip circumference, cognition, depression, anxiety, perceived stress, fatigue, sleep quality, and quality of life. The outcomes will be evaluated at baseline and at 8 weeks of follow-up.

Implications of physiotherapy practice: This study is the first randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise among people with epilepsy. The findings of this study could provide important information about the effects of yoga and aerobic exercise training on a variety of health conditions in people with epilepsy.

Background and purpose: To improve existing clinical assessments for freezing of gait (FOG) severity, a new clinician-rated tool which integrates the varied types of freezing (FOG Severity Tool-Revised) was developed. This cross-sectional study investigated its validity and reliability.

Methods: People with Parkinson's disease who were able to independently ambulate eight-metres and understand study instructions were consecutively recruited from outpatient clinics of a tertiary hospital. Those with co-morbidities severely affecting gait were excluded. Participants were assessed with the FOG Severity Tool-Revised, three functional performance tests, the FOG Questionnaire, and outcomes measuring anxiety, cognition, and disability. The FOG Severity Tool-Revised was repeated for test-retest reliability. Exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha were computed for structural validity and internal consistency. Reliability and measurement error were estimated with ICC (two-way, random), standard error of measurement, and smallest detectable change (SDC95 ). Criterion-related and construct validity were calculated with Spearman's correlations.

Results: Thirty-nine participants were enrolled [79.5% (n = 31) male; Median (IQR): age-73.0 (9.0) years; disease duration-4.0 (5.8) years], with fifteen (38.5%) who reported no medication state change contributing a second assessment for reliability estimation. The FOG Severity Tool-Revised demonstrated sufficient structural validity and internal consistency (α = 0.89-0.93), and adequate criterion-related validity compared to the FOG Questionnaire (ρ = 0.73, 95% CI 0.54-0.85). Test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96, 95%CI 0.86-0.99) and random measurement error (%SDC95  = 10.4%) was acceptable in this limited sample.

Discussion and conclusions: The FOG Severity Tool-Revised appeared valid in this initial sample of people with Parkinson's. While its psychometric properties remain to be confirmed in a larger sample, it may be considered for use in the clinical setting.

背景和目的:为了改进现有的步态冻结(FOG)严重程度的临床评估,开发了一种新的临床医生评级工具,该工具集成了各种类型的冻结(修订后的FOG严重程度工具)。这项横断面研究调查了其有效性和可靠性。方法:从一家三级医院的门诊连续招募能够独立行走8米并理解研究说明的帕金森病患者。那些患有严重影响步态的合并症的患者被排除在外。参与者使用修订的FOG严重程度工具、三项功能表现测试、FOG问卷以及测量焦虑、认知和残疾的结果进行评估。为了重新测试可靠性,重复了修订的FOG严重性工具。探索性因素分析和Cronbachα计算结构有效性和内部一致性。可靠性和测量误差采用ICC(双向、随机)、标准测量误差和最小可检测变化(SDC95)进行估计。用Spearman相关性计算标准相关和结构有效性。结果:39名参与者被纳入[79.5%(n=31)男性;中位(IQR):年龄-73.0(9.0)岁;疾病持续时间-4.0(5.8)年],其中15名(38.5%)报告没有药物状态变化的参与者对可靠性评估进行了第二次评估。与FOG问卷相比,修订的FOG严重性工具证明了足够的结构有效性和内部一致性(α=0.89-0.93),以及足够的标准相关有效性(ρ=0.73,95%CI 0.54-0.85)。在这个有限的样本中,测试-再测试的可靠性(ICC=0.96,95%CI 0.86-0.99)和随机测量误差(%SDC95=10.4%)是可接受的。讨论和结论:修订的FOG严重程度工具在帕金森氏症患者的初始样本中似乎有效。虽然它的心理测量特性仍有待在更大的样本中确认,但它可以考虑在临床环境中使用。

The FOG Severity Tool-Revised was repeated for test-retest reliability. Exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha were computed for structural validity and internal consistency. Reliability and measurement error were estimated with ICC (two-way, random), standard error of measurement, and smallest detectable change (SDC<sub>95</sub> ). Criterion-related and construct validity were calculated with Spearman's correlations.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Thirty-nine participants were enrolled [79.5% (n = 31) male; Median (IQR): age-73.0 (9.0) years; disease duration-4.0 (5.8) years], with fifteen (38.5%) who reported no medication state change contributing a second assessment for reliability estimation. The FOG Severity Tool-Revised demonstrated sufficient structural validity and internal consistency (α = 0.89-0.93), and adequate criterion-related validity compared to the FOG Questionnaire (ρ = 0.73, 95% CI 0.54-0.85). Test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.96, 95%CI 0.86-0.99) and random measurement error (%SDC<sub>95</sub>  = 10.4%) was acceptable in this limited sample.</p><p><strong>Discussion and conclusions: </strong>The FOG Severity Tool-Revised appeared valid in this initial sample of people with Parkinson's. While its psychometric properties remain to be confirmed in a larger sample, it may be considered for use in the clinical setting.</p>","PeriodicalId":47243,"journal":{"name":"Physiotherapy Research International","volume":" ","pages":"e2016"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9851342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
