Cross-Cultural Adaptation And Psychometric Testing Of The Hindi Version Of The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation, Saurabh Mehta, Bhavna Mhatre, Joy C. Macdermid, Amita Mehta Dec 2014

Cross-Cultural Adaptation And Psychometric Testing Of The Hindi Version Of The Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation, Saurabh Mehta, Bhavna Mhatre, Joy C. Macdermid, Amita Mehta

Saurabh Mehta

The purpose of this study was to perform cross-cultural adaptation and Hindi translation of the patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) and assess psychometric properties of the PRWE-Hindi. Cross-cultural adaptation and Hindi translation of the PRWE was performed using standardized guidelines. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used for assessing test–retest reliability, and Cronbach’s alpha (CA) was used for assessing the internal consistency of the PRWE-Hindi. Construct validity was assessed by examining the correlations between the PRWE-Hindi and grip strength, wrist range of movements, and self-reported pain and disability. A total of 50 patients with distal radius fracture were recruited and assessed three …


A Systematic Review Of The Health-Related Quality Of Life Measures Following Total Knee Arthroplasty, Saurabh Mehta, Mary Law, Jean-Sebastian Roy Dec 2014

A Systematic Review Of The Health-Related Quality Of Life Measures Following Total Knee Arthroplasty, Saurabh Mehta, Mary Law, Jean-Sebastian Roy

Saurabh Mehta

To perform systematic review and appraisal of common patient-reported outcomes (PROs) used in measuring aspects of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Especially, the study aimed to examine whether these common PROs assess the domains of HRQOL as described in the theoretical frameworks of the HRQOL.


Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire, Manraj Kaur, Saurabh Mehta Dec 2014

Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire, Manraj Kaur, Saurabh Mehta

Saurabh Mehta

The Chronic Pain Grade Questionnaire (CPGQ) is a seven item instrument designed to evaluate overall severity of chronic pain based on two dimensions, pain intensity and pain-related disability, in individuals who suffer from chronic pain that has lasted for at least six months. The notion of graded classification of chronic pain severity was derived from the dysfunctional chronic pain concept provided by Turk and Rudy (1988). The two disability items were adopted from the Multidimensional Pain inventory (Von Korff et al 1992).


Home-Based Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Following Hip Fracture Surgery: What Is The Evidence?, Kathleen Donohue, Richelle Hoevenaars, Jocelyn Mceachern, Erica Zeman, Saurabh Mehta Dec 2014

Home-Based Multidisciplinary Rehabilitation Following Hip Fracture Surgery: What Is The Evidence?, Kathleen Donohue, Richelle Hoevenaars, Jocelyn Mceachern, Erica Zeman, Saurabh Mehta

Saurabh Mehta

Objective. To determine the effects of multidisciplinary home rehabilitation (MHR) on functional and quality of life (QOL) outcomes following hip fracture surgery. Methods. Systematic review methodology suggested by Cochrane Collaboration was adopted. Reviewers independently searched the literature, selected the studies, extracted data, and performed critical appraisal of studies. Summary of the results of included studies was provided. Results. Five studies were included. Over the short-term, functional status and lower extremity strength were better in the MHR group compared to the no treatment group (NT). Over the long-term, the MHR group showed greater improvements in balance confidence, functional status, and lower …


The Implications Of Chronic Pain Models For Rehabilitation Of Distal Radius Fracture, Saurabh Mehta, Joy Macdermid, Mary Tremblay Dec 2014

The Implications Of Chronic Pain Models For Rehabilitation Of Distal Radius Fracture, Saurabh Mehta, Joy Macdermid, Mary Tremblay

Saurabh Mehta

Distal radius fracture (DRF) is the most common fracture and usually occurs as a result of a fall. Most patients recover following DRF with minimal residual pain or disability; however, a small subset of patients continue to experience pain and disability even one year after the injury. Currently, there are no practice guidelines for early identification and treatment of patients who are potentially at greater risk of developing these adverse outcomes. As a result, hand therapy management of patients following DRF does not incorporate screening of these at-risk patients. The objective of this paper is to apply constructs from learned …


Systematic Review Of Home Physiotherapy After Hip Fracture Surgery, Saurabh Mehta, Jean-Sébastien Roy Apr 2014

Systematic Review Of Home Physiotherapy After Hip Fracture Surgery, Saurabh Mehta, Jean-Sébastien Roy

Saurabh Mehta

OBJECTIVE: To compare the benefits of home physiotherapy, institution-based physiotherapy and no physiotherapy following hip fracture surgery. DESIGN: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. METHODS: Two reviewers independently extracted data from 5 included studies. Standardized mean differences were pooled for health-related quality of life and performance-based outcomes. Review Manager Version 5 was used for data analysis. RESULTS: Analysis of the 5 included studies indicated that home physiotherapy was better than no physiotherapy and similar to outpatient physiotherapy in improving patient-reported health-related quality of life. Performance-based outcomes were marginally better following outpatient physiotherapy compared with home physiotherapy 3 and …
