Functional Impairments of Amyloidosis Patients: Physical Therapy Assessment
Amyloidosis is a rare, systemic disease that can result in significant functional impairment. Specific guidelines for the rehabilitation assessment of amyloidosis patients have yet to be established. The purpose of this study was to identify functional deficits and assess differences based on disease type, organ involvement, age, and gender of patients with amyloidosis. Materials and Methods: The multidisciplinary Comprehensive Amyloidosis Clinic (CAC) at Ohio State University (OSU) has developed structured assessment guidelines for amyloidosis patients. A retrospective, single-institution review of patients assessed in CAC between December 2017 and April 2020 was performed. Outcome measure data from the Timed Up and Go (TUG), 30 s sit-to-stand, and physical function portion of the SF 36 were gathered by chart review. Comparisons were made between CAC patient scores and normative data. Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to compare scores across the disease types (light chain, transthyretin wild-type, and hereditary variant transthyretin) and the Mann–Whitney U test was used for pairwise comparisons within disease types and cardiac involvement. Linear regression models were used to assess associations between patient characteristics (including age, gender, disease type, and cardiac involvement) and performance scores. Results: Data from sixty-four patients was evaluated. On the 30-s sit-to-stand test, patients with light chain amyloidosis performed 3.32 fewer repetitions than patients with transthyretin wild-type, p = 0.03. Patients with cardiac involvement had 2.55 fewer repetitions than patients without cardiac involvement, p = 0.03. Older patients were found to have slower TUG performance, and a 10-year increase in age was associated with an 11% increase in TUG scores. Conclusions: Findings indicate patients with light chain amyloidosis and patients with cardiac involvement, when compared to other amyloidosis patients, present with more physical impairments.
