To evaluate the prevalence, characteristics, and correlates of chronic pain in a population predominantly employed, alcoholic patients attending an outpatient drug alcohol treatment program.A survey was administered to 79 program situated suburban community outside New York City. Chronic severe defined as that 1) had persisted for at least 6 months; 2) either moderate intensity or significantly interfered with daily activities.Seventy-six percent experienced during past week. by 29.1%...
Background: The Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis (IDEO) is a custom energy-storing carbon fiber ankle-foot orthosis developed for lower-extremity trauma patients. Studies conducted at the military treatment facility where IDEO was demonstrated benefits of when used with Return to Run Physical Therapy (RTR PT) program. current study designed determine if results could be replicated other facilities and examine whether early performance gains in patient-reported functional outcomes...
Although limb salvage is now possible for many high-energy open fractures and crush injuries to the distal tibia, ankle, hindfoot, midfoot, orthotic options are limited. The Intrepid Dynamic Exoskeletal Orthosis (IDEO) a custom, energy-storing carbon fiber orthosis developed trauma patients undergoing salvage. IDEO differs from other orthoses in that it allows with ankle weakness have more normal biomechanics increased power. This article describes design of study evaluate effectiveness when...
ABSTRACT Introduction Spine pain is one of the largest and costliest burdens to our healthcare systems. While evidence-based guidelines for spine have been established, continue evolve, actual management this condition continues burden system. This has led increased costs due inefficient entry healthcare, utilization treatments unsupported by clinical guidelines, patient navigation through The purpose study was assess related outcomes Active Duty Service Members (ADSM) receiving services in...
Among the many patients served by methadone maintenance treatment programs (MMTPs) is a small population with severe, refractory pain that may be effectively managed using long-term opioid therapy. Pain specialists have begun to treat these patients, and in some cases, has been selected as analgesic administered for management. The use of treated MMTPs lead complex management issues. We present four who illustrate different outcomes associated one challenging scenario, specifically expressed...
To determine the magnitude and distribution of forces, moments, accelerations acting on an individual sitting in a wheelchair during three possible accidents occurring while negotiating sidewalk curb, experimental trials were performed bioengineering laboratory using 50th percentile Hybrid III dummy seated standard wheelchair. A ramp was designed with adjustable incline to allow reach edge height platform at desired forward speed 2.5 miles per hour (comfortable walking speed). The velocity...
Abstract Background Prescription medications are an essential element of military amputation care programs. Objectives To analyze (1) outpatient prescription following combat‐related amputations, (2) longitudinal changes in activity during the first year postinjury, and (3) patient characteristics associated with medications. Design Retrospective study casualty records Clinicians identified 13 medication categories based on American Hospital Formulary Service classifications. Setting...
ABSTRACT Introduction Sleep-related disorders are associated with pain, fatigue, and deficits in cognitive performance, which may interfere successful rehabilitation. The study objectives were to (1) quantify outpatient prescriptions for insomnia medications during the first year following combat-related amputations, (2) examine longitudinal changes medications, (3) analyze patient characteristics medications. Material Methods This was a retrospective of DoD casualty records from...
ABSTRACT Introduction Wounded service members with amputations undergo a complex rehabilitation regimen that can often become complicated by skin breakdown, heterotopic ossification (HO), and pain of the residual limb, contralateral or low back. These complications impact prosthetic socket fit, decreasing one's functional independence, potentially negatively quality life. The purpose this report is to present case involving treatment HO along modifications, intention address back (LBP), in...
