Subtle Cavus Deformities: Is Isolated Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction Enough For Improved Patient-Reported Outcomes?, Ashlee Macdonald, Meghan Kelly, Jeff Houck, Judith Baumhauer, Irvin Oh, Adolph Flemister, John Ketz
Subtle Cavus Deformities: Is Isolated Lateral Ankle Ligament Reconstruction Enough For Improved Patient-Reported Outcomes?, Ashlee Macdonald, Meghan Kelly, Jeff Houck, Judith Baumhauer, Irvin Oh, Adolph Flemister, John Ketz

Introduction/Purpose: Lateral ankle ligament injuries are common conditions accounting for 25% of musculoskeletal injuries. Prior reports have found increased risk of failed lateral ankle reconstruction in those with a subtle cavus deformity, and therefore, correcting the deformity is often advocated. However, other studies have been unable to identify subtle cavus deformity as a clear risk factor for recurrent injury. The purpose of this study was to 1) compare PROMIS physical function (PF), pain interference (PI), and depression scores in patients with subtle cavus deformities to those without deformity who underwent lateral ankle ligament reconstruction, 2) compare PROMIS scores in allograft …
Does Identifying Provider Expectations Improve Adoption Of Patient Reported Outcomes?, Jeff Houck, Jillian Santer, Judith Baumhauer
Does Identifying Provider Expectations Improve Adoption Of Patient Reported Outcomes?, Jeff Houck, Jillian Santer, Judith Baumhauer

Introduction/Purpose: New instruments like the Patient Reported Outcome Information System (PROMIS) minimize the burden to patients and providers addressing significant barriers to adoption. Despite these advances provider adoption remains lackluster. Models of technology adoption suggest adoption is more likely to occur when PRO’s directly improve patient care (performance expectancy) and it’s easy to implement (effort expectancy). Problems with effort expectancy are dealt with by training and improving logistics (i.e. eHR presentation, alerts), where performance expectancy is addressed through research (i.e. validation of thresholds). The purposes of this study were to: 1) evaluate the proportion of orthopedic rehabilitation providers who use …

Can Patient Reported Outcomes Guide Therapy Needs In Foot And Ankle Patients?, Jeff Houck, Jillian Santer, Judith Baumhauer
Can Patient Reported Outcomes Guide Therapy Needs In Foot And Ankle Patients?, Jeff Houck, Jillian Santer, Judith Baumhauer
Faculty Publications - College of Physical Therapy
Introduction/Purpose: The patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) is a validated question establishing if patients activity and symptoms are at a satisfactory low level for pain and function. Surprisingly, ~20% of foot and ankle patients at their initial visit present for care with an acceptable symptom state (i.e. PASS yes). These patients are important to identify to prevent over treatment and avoid excessive cost. It is also unclear what health domains (Pain Interference (PI), Physical Function (PF), or Depression (Dep)) influence a patients judgement of their PASS state (i.e. why they are seeking treatment). The purpose of this analysis is to …
