Stressor-Induced Increase In Muscle Fatigability Of Young Men And Women Is Predicted By Strength But Not Voluntary Activation, Manda Keller-Ross, Hugo Pereia, Jaclyn Pruse, Tejin Yoon, Bonnie Schlinder-Delap, Kristy Nielson, Sandra Hunter

This study investigated mechanisms for the stressor-induced changes in muscle fatigability in men and women. Participants performed an isometric-fatiguing contraction at 20% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) until failure with the elbow flexor muscles. Study one (n = 55; 29 women) involved two experimental sessions: 1) a high-stressor session that required a difficult mental-math task before and during a fatiguing contraction and 2) a control session with no mental math. For some participants (n = 28; 14 women), cortical stimulation was used to examine mechanisms that contributed to muscle fatigability during the high-stressor and control sessions. Study two (n = 23; …
Systematic Review Of Home Physiotherapy After Hip Fracture Surgery, Saurabh Mehta, Jean-Sébastien Roy
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 …
Vestibular Influence On Cranio-Cervical Pain: A Case Report, Frank Gargano, Wayne Hing, Caroline Cross
Vestibular Influence On Cranio-Cervical Pain: A Case Report, Frank Gargano, Wayne Hing, Caroline Cross
Wayne Hing
This case report describes a 39 year old woman with a 10 month history of right-sided temporal headaches. In addition, she experienced a ‘wobble’ feeling when rolling toward her right side and reported suboccipital pain, tinnitus and a mild visual disturbance. Objective assessment revealed she had a positional upbeat clockwise torsional nystagmus, that is, a positive Dix-Hallpike test for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo. Furthermore, manual assessment revealed right upper cervical joint dysfunction. She was treated with a four stage canalith repositioning manoeuvre for the vestibular system which abolished her ‘wobble’ symptom. Subsequently, manual therapy techniques were applied to the cervical …
Clinical Predictors Of A Positive Response To Guided Diagnostic Block Into The Subacromial Bursa, Angela Cadogan, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing, Peter Mcnair, Stephen Taylor
Clinical Predictors Of A Positive Response To Guided Diagnostic Block Into The Subacromial Bursa, Angela Cadogan, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing, Peter Mcnair, Stephen Taylor
Wayne Hing
Objective: To compare the accuracy of combinations of clinical examination findings for predicting a positive response to injection of local anaesthetic into the subacromial bursa.
Design: Prospective, cohort, diagnostic validity design. Subjects: Consecutive patients with shoulder pain recruited from primary care physiotherapy and general medical practices.
Methods: All subjects underwent a standardised clinical examination (index test) followed by a diagnostic injection of xylocaineTM into the subacromial bursa (reference standard test) performed under ultrasound guidance. Clinical examination variables associated with a positive anaesthetic response (≥ 80% post-injection reduction in pain intensity) were identified (p
Results: Of the 196 subjects who received …
Shoulder Pain In Primary Care: Diagnostic Accuracy Of Clinical Examination Tests For Non-Traumatic Acromioclavicular Joint Pain, Angela Cadogan, Peter Mcnair, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing
Shoulder Pain In Primary Care: Diagnostic Accuracy Of Clinical Examination Tests For Non-Traumatic Acromioclavicular Joint Pain, Angela Cadogan, Peter Mcnair, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing
Wayne Hing
Background: Despite numerous methodological flaws in previous study designs and the lack of validation in primary care populations, clinical tests for identifying acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) pain are widely utilised without concern for such issues. The aim of this study was to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of traditional ACJ tests and to compare their accuracy with other clinical examination features for identifying a predominant ACJ pain source in a primary care cohort. Methods: Consecutive patients with shoulder pain were recruited prospectively from primary health care clinics. Following a standardised clinical examination and diagnostic injection into the subacromial bursa, all participants received …
Rasch Analysis Supports The Use Of The Depression, Anxiety, And Stress Scales To Measure Mood In Groups But Not In Individuals With Chronic Low Back Pain, Luke Parkitny, James Mcauley, David Walton, Leonardo Pena Costa, Kathryn Refshauge, Benedict Wand, Flavia Di Pietro, G Moseley
Rasch Analysis Supports The Use Of The Depression, Anxiety, And Stress Scales To Measure Mood In Groups But Not In Individuals With Chronic Low Back Pain, Luke Parkitny, James Mcauley, David Walton, Leonardo Pena Costa, Kathryn Refshauge, Benedict Wand, Flavia Di Pietro, G Moseley

Objective: Chronic pain is a common problem that is associated with mood disorders such as depression. The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales (DASS-21) questionnaire is commonly used to help measure disordered mood. In this study, we used Rasch analysis to analyze the clinimetric properties of the DASS-21 in a chronic low back pain sample. Study Design and Setting: A Rasch analysis was conducted on data collected as a part of a randomized hospital-based placebo-controlled trial. DASS-21 questionnaires were completed by the 154 enrolled participants. Results: The DASS-21 subscales fit the Rasch model. No differential item functioning was detected for age, …

Mulligan's Mobilization With Movement: A Systematic Review, Wayne Hing, Renee Bigelow, Toni Bremner
Mulligan's Mobilization With Movement: A Systematic Review, Wayne Hing, Renee Bigelow, Toni Bremner
Wayne Hing
Mulligan’s manual therapy technique at peripheral joints, namely mobilization with movement (MWM), has been well documented in research. The efficacy of MWM has been established in the treatment of joint dysfunction and various pathologies. The purpose of this systematic review was to critically evaluate the literature regarding MWM at peripheral joints and determine the overall efficacy related to MWM prescription. Electronic databases (Cinahl, Medline and Amed via Ovid, Pubmed and Medline via Ebsco Health Databases, Cochrane via Wiley and PEDro) were searched up to August 2008 with no date restriction to identify all studies pertaining to MWM at peripheral joints. …
