Trunk Mobility In The Sagittal And Horizontal Planes: Clinical Methods To Quantify Movement In An Elite Male Surfing Population, James Furness, Mike Climstein, Jeremy Sheppard, Allan Abbott, Wayne Hing
Wayne Hing
Background High numbers of acute shoulder and chronic lumbar injuries have been identified in a surfing population. A simple screening tool could be used to determine whether thoracic spine dysfunction is a possible contributor to shoulder or lumbar injuries. Importantly, thoracic mobility in the sagittal and horizontal planes are key requirements in the sport of surfing; however to date the normal values of these movements have not yet been quantified in a surfing population. Objectives To develop a reliable method to quantify thoracic mobility in the sagittal plane; to assess the reliability of a thoracic rotation method, and quantify thoracic …
Do Patients Undergoing Physical Testing Report Pain Intensity Reliability, Stephen White, Peter Mcnair, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing
Do Patients Undergoing Physical Testing Report Pain Intensity Reliability, Stephen White, Peter Mcnair, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing
Wayne Hing
Objective To determine the reliability of patient reports of pain intensity during the application of physical tests. Methods A single examiner required participants to use the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) to report the intensity of pain provoked during physical testing of the hip. Standardized versions of 14 physical tests were used on 18 people with hip pain. Tests were repeated at 1 hour and 2-7 days later. Within- and between-session reliability of reports of pain intensity was calculated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Lin's concordance correlation coefficients (CCCs). Standard errors of measurement (SEMs) were calculated. Results ICC/CCC values …
Validating The Speed And Agility Motor Screen (Sams) As A Motor Performance-Related Fitness Measure For Children, Nikki Milne, Wayne Hing
Validating The Speed And Agility Motor Screen (Sams) As A Motor Performance-Related Fitness Measure For Children, Nikki Milne, Wayne Hing
Wayne Hing
This study aimed to assess the test-retest reliability and concurrent-validity of the Speed and Agility Motor Screen (SAMS) as a motor-performance-related fitness measure for children and determine if the SAMS could better predict poor motor-proficiency in overweight/obese children compared to the general paediatric population. The final aim was to establish if a SAMS cut-off time could be determined to identify children who may benefit from further investigation of their gross-motor skills.
Child Obesity Service Provision: A Cross-Sectional Survey Of Physiotherapy Practice Trends And Professional Needs, Nikki Milne, Nancy Low Choy, Gary Leong, Roger Hughes, Wayne Hing
Child Obesity Service Provision: A Cross-Sectional Survey Of Physiotherapy Practice Trends And Professional Needs, Nikki Milne, Nancy Low Choy, Gary Leong, Roger Hughes, Wayne Hing
Wayne Hing
This study explored current physiotherapy practice trends for management of children who are overweight or obese. The professional needs of physiotherapists working with this population were also assessed, including the perceived need for physiotherapy clinical guidelines for prevention and management of children with obesity. A cross-sectional survey design was used, with questionnaires purposefully distributed through 13 key physiotherapy services throughout Australia. Snowball sampling resulted in completed questionnaires from 64 physiotherapists who provided services to children. Half (n = 33, 52%) of respondents provided services specifically to overweight or obese children. Of those providing services, one-quarter had prior training specific to …
Comparative Effects Of 2 Aqua Exercise Programs On Physical Function, Balance, And Perceived Quality Of Life In Older Adults With Osteoarthritis, Alison Fisken, Deborah Waters, Wayne Hing, Michael Steele, Justin Keogh
Comparative Effects Of 2 Aqua Exercise Programs On Physical Function, Balance, And Perceived Quality Of Life In Older Adults With Osteoarthritis, Alison Fisken, Deborah Waters, Wayne Hing, Michael Steele, Justin Keogh
Wayne Hing
Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease, which affects a large number of older adults. Many older adults with OA are physically inactive, which can contribute to reduced functional capability, quality of life, and an increased risk of falls. Although hydrotherapy is often recommended for older adults with OA, less is known about aqua fitness (AF), a widely available form of aqua-based exercise. Purpose: To compare the effect of an AF program and a seated aqua-based exercise program on a range of functional measures and quality of life among older adults with OA. Methods: Thirty-five older adults with OA …
Diagnostic Accuracy Of Clinical Examination Features For Identifying Large Rotator Cuff Tears In Primary Health Care, Angela Cadogan, Peter Mcnair, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing, Stephen Taylor
Diagnostic Accuracy Of Clinical Examination Features For Identifying Large Rotator Cuff Tears In Primary Health Care, Angela Cadogan, Peter Mcnair, Mark Laslett, Wayne Hing, Stephen Taylor
Wayne Hing
Objectives: Rotator cuff tears are a common and disabling complaint. The early diagnosis of medium and large size rotator cuff tears can enhance the prognosis of the patient. The aim of this study was to identify clinical features with the strongest ability to accurately predict the presence of a medium, large or multitendon (MLM) rotator cuff tear in a primary care cohort. Methods: Participants were consecutively recruited from primary health care practices (n5203). All participants underwent a standardized history and physical examination, followed by a standardized X-ray series and diagnostic ultrasound scan. Clinical features associated with the presence of a …
International Framework For Examination Of The Cervical Region For Potential Of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction Prior To Orthopaedic Manual Therapy Intervention, Alison Rushton, Darren Rivett, Lisa Carlesso, Timothy Flynn, Wayne Hing, Roger Kerry
International Framework For Examination Of The Cervical Region For Potential Of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction Prior To Orthopaedic Manual Therapy Intervention, Alison Rushton, Darren Rivett, Lisa Carlesso, Timothy Flynn, Wayne Hing, Roger Kerry
Wayne Hing
A consensus clinical reasoning framework for best practice for the examination of the cervical spine region has been developed through an iterative consultative process with experts and manual physical therapy organisations. The framework was approved by the 22 member countries of the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists (October 2012). The purpose of the framework is to provide guidance to clinicians for the assessment of the cervical region for potential of Cervical Arterial Dysfunction in advance of planned management (inclusive of manual therapy and exercise interventions). The best, most recent scientific evidence is combined with international expert opinion, and …
The Reliability And Validity Of Physiotherapist Visual Rating Of Dynamic Pelvis And Knee Alignment In Young Athletes, C. Whatman, Patricia Hume, Wayne Hing
The Reliability And Validity Of Physiotherapist Visual Rating Of Dynamic Pelvis And Knee Alignment In Young Athletes, C. Whatman, Patricia Hume, Wayne Hing
Wayne Hing
Purpose: To investigate visual rating of pelvis and knee position in young athletes during lower extremity functional tests. Methods: Pelvis and knee alignment, in 23 athletes, was visually rated by 66 physiotherapists. Peak two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) kinematics were also quantified. Ratings were compared to consensus visual ratings of an expert panel. The consensus ratings were also compared to peak kinematics. Reliability was determined using percentage agreement (PA) and the first order agreement coefficient (AC1). Sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and differences in kinematics between groups based on the expert visual ratings were calculated to assess rating validity. …

Kinematics During Lower Extremity Functional Screening Tests In Young Athletes - Are They Reliable And Valid?, Patricia Hume, Wayne Hing, C. Whatman
Wayne Hing
Objective: To determine if lower extremity functional tests are reliable and valid screening tests of lower extremity dynamic alignment in healthy young athletes. Design: Quantitative experimental testere-test. Methods: Peak three-dimensional pelvis and lower extremity kinematics were quantified in 23 uninjured young athletes (11 1 years) during three lower extremity functional tests (Small Knee Bend [SKB], Single Leg SKB and Drop Jump) and Running. A nine camera motion analysis system captured three trials of all tests. All functional tests were repeated by 10 young athletes eight to ten weeks later. Visual 3D and Labview were used to process all data. Intraclass …
