Supplemental Digital Content is Available in the Text. Purpose: Physical therapists are well positioned to encourage their patients to live a healthy lifestyle. Physical therapists report barriers that limit their ability to practice health promotion counseling with their patients including the availability of a brief tool to gather information about their patient's current level of activity related to specific health behaviors. The purpose of this study was to describe the development and testing of the Physical Therapy Healthy Lifestyle Appraisal (PTHLA). Methods: The PTHLA is a patient self-report questionnaire that assesses stage of change, importance of changing, and confidence in engaging in 6 health behaviors. Physical Therapy Healthy Lifestyle Appraisal version 1 (106 items) was designed to compare different constructs for measuring stage of change and confidence in engaging in health behaviors. After pilot testing, 3 versions were tested to arrive at the 18 item PTHLA-version 3. Physical therapy patients in outpatient clinics in Michigan, Minnesota, and Texas were recruited for this multiphase study (version 1 n = 60, version 2 n = 65, and version 3 n = 28). Results: Physical Therapy Healthy Lifestyle Appraisal version 3 consists of 3 questions for each of 6 health behavior domains; a 3-option ordinal question for assessing stage of change and 11-point rulers for assessing importance of engaging in the behavior and confidence in engaging in the behavior. Unique items from version 1 and version 2 were retained in PTHLA-version 3, whereas those items that were somewhat redundant were excluded. Behavioral definitions for the “sleep” and “stress” domains were the only changes made from the first to the second versions. Across samples and behavioral domains, scores for the 18 items generally displayed satisfactory-to-high test–retest reliabilities (Cohen κw = 0.56–1.00, mean = 0.76; Spearman ρ = 0.53–1.00, mean = 0.77; intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.39–1.00, mean = 0.74). Confidence in behavior ruler scores displayed satisfactory-to-high convergent correlations with scores from lengthier multiple-item confidence in behavior measures (Pearson r validity coefficients = 0.33–0.90, mean = 0.63). The three-option stage of change items demonstrated satisfactory convergent validity with scores on the stage of change ruler (Pearson r validity coefficients = 0.16–0.86, mean = 0.61). Conclusions: The PTHLA-version 3 is a reliable and efficient tool for PT practice developed by physical therapists with expertise in prevention, health promotion, and wellness. Physical therapists can use the information provided from the PTHLA to initiate conversations about behavior change with their patients. Understanding the patient's current stage of change, level of interest in changing the behavior, and confidence for changing the behavior is important information for the PT to ensure a productive and respectful conversation about behavior change.
补充数字内容可在文本中获得。目的:物理治疗师有能力鼓励他们的病人过健康的生活方式。物理治疗师报告了一些障碍，这些障碍限制了他们对患者进行健康促进咨询的能力，包括收集患者当前与特定健康行为相关的活动水平信息的简短工具的可用性。本研究的目的是描述物理治疗健康生活方式评估(PTHLA)的发展和测试。方法:PTHLA是一份患者自我报告问卷，评估患者参与6种健康行为的改变阶段、改变的重要性和信心。物理治疗健康生活方式评估第1版(106项)旨在比较不同构式对参与健康行为的改变阶段和信心的测量。经过试点测试，测试了3个版本，得到了18个项目的pthla -版本3。在密歇根州、明尼苏达州和德克萨斯州的门诊诊所接受物理治疗的患者被招募参加这项多期研究(版本1 n = 60，版本2 n = 65，版本3 n = 28)。结果:物理治疗健康生活方式评估第3版由6个健康行为领域各3个问题组成;一个3选项顺序问题用于评估变化阶段和11分标尺用于评估参与行为的重要性和参与行为的信心。版本1和版本2中的独特项目保留在pthla -版本3中，而那些有些冗余的项目被排除在外。“睡眠”和“压力”领域的行为定义是从第一个版本到第二个版本的唯一变化。在样本和行为领域中，18个项目的得分普遍表现出满意到高的重测信度(Cohen κw = 0.56-1.00，平均值= 0.76;Spearman ρ = 0.53-1.00，均值= 0.77;类内相关系数= 0.39-1.00，平均值= 0.74)。行为标尺得分的置信度与行为测量中更长的多项置信度得分表现出满意到高的收敛相关性(Pearson r效度系数= 0.33-0.90，平均值= 0.63)。三选项阶段的变化项目与变化阶段标尺上的分数具有满意的收敛效度(Pearson r效度系数= 0.16-0.86，平均值= 0.61)。结论:PTHLA-version 3是一种可靠和有效的PT实践工具，由具有预防，健康促进和健康专业知识的物理治疗师开发。物理治疗师可以利用PTHLA提供的信息，与患者就行为改变展开对话。了解患者当前的变化阶段，改变行为的兴趣程度，以及改变行为的信心，对于PT来说是重要的信息，以确保关于行为改变的富有成效和尊重的谈话。

Purpose: To describe physical therapist (PT) practice for patients with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) at a tertiary hospital and to describe a novel clinical decision-making algorithm (nCDM) and its use in enhancing clinical practice for this patient population. Methods: This is a single-center, retrospective chart review. An nCDM was formulated to assist with best practice. The Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care “6 clicks” (AM-PAC) score, highest level of mobility, discharge destination, and observed clinical complications at hospital discharge were collected. Results: Seventy-seven patients received ICU PT services. Of these, twenty-six patients were outside previously established parameters for initiating PT intervention and forty-four patients were on mechanical ventilation during the initial PT evaluation. All groups showed a statistically significant improvement in their respective AM-PAC scores from initial PT evaluation to ICU discharge. Conclusion: The authors have described our PT practice for this patient population in our setting. Patients who were outside previously established parameters for initiating PT intervention were able to participate with PT and showed functional improvement. This nCDM shows a promising use in enhancing clinical decision-making for PT practice while treating patients with COVID-19 in the ICU.

Purpose: Blood pressure (BP) during arm (AE) and leg ergometry (LE) have traditionally been compared at submaximal intensities of the peak oxygen uptake, which is often challenging to interpret in clinical practice. The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the relationship of the heart rate with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and workload (WL) during AE and LE exercise. Methods: A prospective, observational, cross-sectional design with 35 healthy subjects compared BP and WL during AE and LE at specific submaximal target heart rates (HRs) of 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150 beats per minute. A linear mixed model tested for differences in SBP, DBP, and WL between AE and LE. Results: There was a larger increase in SBP {0.55 mm Hg (95% CI [0.38, 0.73])} per heart beat during LE. There was a larger increase in WL {0.62 watts (95% CI [0.38, 0.85])} and WL relative to body mass {0.01 watts/kg (95% CI [0.006, 0.011])} per heart beat during LE. Statistical models were developed that estimated SBP, DBP, and WL based on the submaximal heart rate. Conclusion: The findings from this investigation informs physical therapists that lower SBP, higher DBP, and lower WL is achieved at any given submaximal HR during AE compared with LE. Furthermore, prediction equations derived from the statistical models can be used to compare actual against predicted SBP and DBP responses to determine tolerance to exercise. Finally, differences in WL per beat increase in HR are valuable in dosing exercise on the AE or LE.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of prelung transplant rehabilitation on balance and examined the relationship between clinical balance tests, instrumented balance assessments, and functional measures of strength and exercise capacity. Methods: Participants completed 1-month of 5 d/wk, multimodal, outpatient rehabilitation. They performed the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), Four Square Step Test, Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB) Scale, Short-Form FAB, Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction with Balance (mCTSIB), Limits of Stability Test (LOS), 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), and clinical strength assessments. Changes prerehabilitation to postrehabilitation were assessed using t tests. Pearson correlation coefficient assessed the relationship between baseline tests. Effect size was calculated using Cohen d. Results: Thirty-nine participants (age = 50 [16] years) completed pretransplant rehabilitation. Participants showed impaired dynamic balance measured through clinical balance tests and LOS which significantly improved with moderate change postrehabilitation. Most mCTSIB components had a small, nonsignificant change. Functional strength and 6MWD improved significantly prerehabilitation to postrehabilitation. Changes in clinical balance were correlated with changes in LOS, SPPB, 5 times sit-to-stand, and arm strength. Conclusions: Balance improvements in candidates for lung transplant, after a multimodal rehabilitation program, seem to be most closely associated with improvement in dynamic balance and lower extremity functional strength.

Purpose: A relatively high percentage of patients with COVID-19 develop hypoxemia and must be mechanically ventilated. Although prone positioning (PP) has been shown to be effective in improving peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) in mechanically ventilated patients with hypoxemia, whether it is effective in nonventilated patients with COVID-19 is not known. The purpose of this rapid evidence assessment was to examine the effectiveness of PP on SpO2 for nonventilated adults with COVID-19 and hypoxemia. Methods: The PEDro, Medline Complete, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched. The inclusion criteria included nonventilated adults, diagnosed with COVID-19, and treated with PP. The exclusion criteria included patients on mechanical ventilation and <18 years old. The primary outcome was SpO2, and secondary outcomes included PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 ratio. The methodologic quality was appraised using the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network Methodology Checklist 3. Results: Eight studies met all inclusion/exclusion criteria, and a total of 199 patients were included. All studies were cohort or retrospective design, and 4 of 8 met the acceptable threshold for risk of bias. All 5 of the studies that reported SpO2 found an increase in post-PP compared with pre-PP, and 5 studies found that PaO2, PaO2/FiO2, or both increased post-PP compared with pre-PP. Conclusions: Owing to heterogeneity in methods and outcomes, as well as varied results, we conclude there is low–moderate support that PP improves SpO2 and other indicators of hypoxemia in nonventilated patients with COVID-19, but not all patients may benefit. In addition, well-controlled studies are needed to confirm these results.
目的:COVID-19患者出现低氧血症的比例较高，必须进行机械通气。虽然俯卧位(PP)已被证明可有效改善机械通气低氧血症患者的外周氧饱和度(SpO2)，但对非通气的COVID-19患者是否有效尚不清楚。这项快速证据评估的目的是检查PP对COVID-19合并低氧血症的非通气成人SpO2的有效性。方法:检索PEDro、Medline Complete和Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials数据库。纳入标准为未通气、诊断为COVID-19且接受过PP治疗的成人。排除标准为机械通气且年龄<18岁的患者。主要终点为SpO2，次要终点为PaO2和PaO2/FiO2比值。使用苏格兰校际指导网络方法学检查表3评估方法学质量。结果:8项研究符合所有纳入/排除标准，共纳入199例患者。所有研究均为队列或回顾性设计，8项研究中有4项符合可接受的偏倚风险阈值。所有报道SpO2的5项研究均发现pp后较pp前升高，5项研究发现PaO2、PaO2/FiO2或两者均较pp前升高。结论:由于方法和结果的异质性以及结果的多样性，我们得出结论，PP可以改善COVID-19非通气患者SpO2和其他低氧血症指标，但并非所有患者都能受益。此外，还需要进行对照良好的研究来证实这些结果。

Purpose: The objectives were to evaluate the effect of a condensed post-lung transplant outpatient rehabilitation program started immediately after hospital discharge on 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) and to explore predictors of change in 6MWD and time to complete rehabilitation. Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from July 2009 to February 2019 on recipients who completed physical therapy-based posttransplant outpatient rehabilitation (PTOR). Changes in 6MWD prerehabilitation to postrehabilitation were assessed using repeated measures, and predictors were assessed using multiple linear regression. Results: Participants (N = 819, 61% men, 61 years) began PTOR 2 days (interquartile range [IQR] 1–3) after hospital discharge. The mean 6MWD of 324 m (SD = 107) improved after rehabilitation to 488 m (SD = 105). Factors associated with improvement were younger age (P = .003), higher baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (P < .001), and lower baseline 6MWD (P < .001). Participants averaged 22 sessions in 41 days (IQR 35–50); with lower baseline FEV1 (P = .002) and 6MWD (P < .001) associated with longer completion time. Conclusions: A condensed outpatient rehabilitation program early after lung transplantation was associated with a large, clinically meaningful improvement in 6MWD. Salient predictors of improvement included age, lung function, and starting 6MWD. These findings from a large cohort of lung transplant recipients who participated in PTOR can assist clinicians in tailoring strategies to optimize patient management.

Methods: Data were retrospectively collected from July 2009 to February 2019 on recipients who completed physical therapy-based posttransplant outpatient rehabilitation (PTOR). Changes in 6MWD prerehabilitation to postrehabilitation were assessed using repeated measures, and predictors were assessed using multiple linear regression. Results: Participants (N = 819, 61% men, 61 years) began PTOR 2 days (interquartile range [IQR] 1–3) after hospital discharge. The mean 6MWD of 324 m (SD = 107) improved after rehabilitation to 488 m (SD = 105). Factors associated with improvement were younger age (P = .003), higher baseline forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) (P < .001), and lower baseline 6MWD (P < .001). Participants averaged 22 sessions in 41 days (IQR 35–50); with lower baseline FEV1 (P = .002) and 6MWD (P < .001) associated with longer completion time. Conclusions: A condensed outpatient rehabilitation program early after lung transplantation was associated with a large, clinically meaningful improvement in 6MWD. Salient predictors of improvement included age, lung function, and starting 6MWD. These findings from a large cohort of lung transplant recipients who participated in PTOR can assist clinicians in tailoring strategies to optimize patient management.","PeriodicalId":72526,"journal":{"name":"Cardiopulmonary physical therapy journal","volume":"33 1","pages":"24 - 30"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43832971","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}
