Physical Function And Health-Related Quality Of Life Of Older Adults Undergoing Hospital Rehabilitation: How Strong Is The Association?, Steven Mcphail, Elaine Beller, Terry Haines
Physical Function And Health-Related Quality Of Life Of Older Adults Undergoing Hospital Rehabilitation: How Strong Is The Association?, Steven Mcphail, Elaine Beller, Terry Haines
Elaine Beller
Extract:To the Editor: When an elderly patient has a first-time presentation of psychiatric symptoms, a physical cause should be suspected. In geriatric practice, these symptoms are often due to delirium, cognitive decline, or a mood disorder. The present case history illustrates the importance of further investigation when geriatric assessment alone cannot explain the symptoms sufficiently.
Effect Of Tissue Mechanical Properties On Cuff-Based Blood Pressure Measurements, H. Lan, A. M. Al-Jumaily, A. Lowe, W. Hing
Effect Of Tissue Mechanical Properties On Cuff-Based Blood Pressure Measurements, H. Lan, A. M. Al-Jumaily, A. Lowe, W. Hing
Wayne Hing
This paper presents a 3D finite element upper arm model, validated by experiments as well as clinical data, used to study the error introduced in blood pressure measurements due to variability of arm tissue mechanical properties. The model consists of three separate cylindrical parts: soft tissue, bone and brachial artery. The artery volume changes under the cuff are used to represent the cuff pressure oscillations for analyzing blood pressure measurements. These oscillation trends are identical to observed clinical data. Also an upper arm simulator is designed and built for model validation. The model shows that the variation of soft tissue …

Leg Pain And Psychological Variables Predict Outcome 2-3 Years After Lumbar Fusion Surgery, Allan Abbott, Raija Tyni-Lenne´, Rune Hedlund
Allan D. Abbott
Prediction studies testing a thorough range of psychological variables in addition to demographic, work-related and clinical variables are lacking in lumbar fusion surgery research. This prospective cohort study aimed at examining predictions of functional disability, back pain and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) 2–3 years after lumbar fusion by regressing nonlinear relations in a multivariate predictive model of pre-surgical variables. Before and 2–3 years after lumbar fusion surgery, patients completed measures investigating demographics, work-related variables, clinical variables, functional self-efficacy, outcome expectancy, fear of movement/(re)injury, mental health and pain coping. Categorical regression with optimal scaling transformation, elastic net regularization and bootstrapping …
The Effects Of Spinal Posture And Pelvic Fixation On Trunk Rotation Range Of Motion, Trevor Montgomery, Mark Boocock, Wayne Hing
The Effects Of Spinal Posture And Pelvic Fixation On Trunk Rotation Range Of Motion, Trevor Montgomery, Mark Boocock, Wayne Hing
Wayne Hing
Background: Axial rotation of the trunk is important to many vocational tasks and activities of daily living, and may be associated with back injuries. The influence of spinal postures on trunk rotation appears conflicting. This study investigated the influence of forward trunk inclination, spinal posture and pelvic fixation on maximum trunk rotation.
Methods: Twenty male participants were assessed using an optoelectronic motion-analysis system to track trunk movement during maximal trunk rotations in different spinal positions within the sagittal plane. A repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance investigated the effects of forward trunk inclination, spinal posture and pelvic fixation on trunk and …

Interexaminer Reliability Of Orthopaedic Special Tests Used In The Assessment Of Shoulder Pain, Angela Cadogan, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing, Peter Mcnair, Maynard Williams
Wayne Hing
Orthopaedic special tests (OST) are commonly used in the assessment of the painful shoulder to assist to rule-in or rule-out specific pathology. A small number of tests with high levels of diagnostic accuracy have been identified but interexaminer reliability data is variable or lacking. The aim of this study was to determine the interexaminer reliability of a group of OST with demonstrated diagnostic accuracy at primary care level. Forty consecutive subjects with shoulder pain were recruited. Six tests were performed by two examiners (physiotherapists) on the same day. Tests included the active compression test, Hawkins–Kennedy test, drop-arm test, crank test, …

Reliability Of A New Hand-Held Dynamometer In Measuring Shoulder Range Of Motion And Strength, Angela Cadogan, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing, Peter Mcnair, Maynard Williams
Wayne Hing
Acceptable reliability is a prerequisite for inclusion of physical examination tests in clinical examinations of the painful shoulder. The aim of this study was to establish the intraexaminer and interexaminer reliability of measures of shoulder range of motion (ROM) and muscle force using a new hand-held dynamometer with the ability to standardize overpressure force during passive ROM tests. Forty consecutive subjects with shoulder pain were recruited, and tests were performed by two physiotherapists. Tests included active ROM elevation, passive ROM glenohumeral abduction and external rotation and resisted abduction and external rotation. All tests demonstrated high levels of intraexaminer reliability (ICC …
Kinematics During Lower Extremity Functional Screening Tests - Are They Reliable And Related To Jogging?, Chris Whatman, Wayne Hing, Patria Hume
Kinematics During Lower Extremity Functional Screening Tests - Are They Reliable And Related To Jogging?, Chris Whatman, Wayne Hing, Patria Hume
Wayne Hing
Purpose: To investigate the within-day and between-day reliability of 3D lower extremity kinematics during five lower extremity functional screening tests and to assess the association between these kinematics and those recorded during jogging.
Methods: Peak three-dimensional lower extremity kinematics were quantified in 25 uninjured participants during five lower extremity functional tests and jogging. A nine camera motion analysis system (Qualysis Medical AB, Sweden) was used to capture three trials of all tests. All functional tests were repeated by 10 participants one to two days later. Visual 3D (C-Motion Inc, USA) and Labview were used to process all data. Intraclass correlation …
