Physical activity (PA) and physical fitness (PF) are inversely associated with the clustering of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (RF) metabolic syndrome (MS). However, role individual components PA, that is, intensity, duration volume, inter-relationship PF in prevention MS its remains elusive.Cross-sectional analysis.The study was based on 1298 (874 male 424 female) police employees (aged 18-62 years) who participated Utrecht Police Lifestyle Intervention Fitness Training study....
Abstract Interdisciplinary multimodal pain therapy (IMPT) is a biopsychosocial treatment approach for patients with chronic that comprises at least psychological and physiotherapeutic interventions. Core outcome sets (COSs) are currently developed in different medical fields to standardize improve the selection of domains, measurement instruments clinical trials, make trial results meaningful, pool results, allow indirect comparison between The objective this study was develop COS...
A prospective cohort study of patients with episodes acute or subacute low back pain, seeking physical therapy in primary care, follow-up at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12.To evaluate the association between psychosocial factors transition from pain to chronicity.Psychosocial have long been thought be associated chronic only. Recent studies, however, suggest that these may also important pain.Demographic, psychosocial, psychological baseline data were collected analyzed a sample 66 order predict...
Background Clinical practice guidelines are considered important instruments to improve quality of care. However, success is dependent on adherence, which may be improved using peer assessment, a strategy in professionals assess performance their peers simulated setting. Objective The aim this study was determine whether assessment more effective than case-based discussions knowledge and guideline-consistent clinical reasoning the Dutch physical therapy guideline for low back pain (LBP)....
Background: Clinical guidelines for physiotherapy following total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) recommend using Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) like the Hip disability Knee injury Osteoarthritis Score (HOOS/KOOS). However, it remains unclear how physiotherapists use these PROMs in daily clinical practice. Objective: To explore primary care physiotherapists’ experiences with HOOS/KOOS practice THA TKA. Methods: Thirteen Netherlands were recruited via convenience sampling. Data...
Cardiovascular risk factors are associated with physical fitness and, to a lesser extent, activity. Lifestyle interventions directed at enhancing in order decrease the of cardiovascular diseases should be extended. To enable development effective lifestyle for people factors, we investigated motivational, social-cognitive determinants derived from Theory Planned Behavior (TPB) and other relevant social psychological theories, next activity fitness.In cross-sectional Utrecht Police...
The evidence for primary motor cortex reorganization in people with low back pain varies and is conflicting. Little known about its association sensory tests, recovery. We investigated (re)organization associations tests over time (N = 25) without a longitudinal study 5-week follow-up. Participants received physical therapy. Primary organization, including the center of gravity area cortical representation trunk muscles, was evaluated using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation,...
Abstract Objective Despite the substantial diagnostic and therapeutic uncertainties in decision-making process, it remains largely unclear to what extent shared decision making is applied physical therapist care for people with shoulder problems. The purpose of our study was determine part process initial consultations problems, identify factors associated level making. Methods In this cross-sectional study, measured by assessing audio-recorded problems using 5-item Observing Patient...
Clinically feasible and reliable methods to measure motor control in people with low back pain (LBP) are lacking. This reliability measurement error study design (i.e. repeated measurements stable patients) aimed determine the intra- interrater reliability, errors of several parameters for two clinical lumbar tests. Participants 18–65 years age, current or a history LBP performed spiral tracking task (n = 33; i.e., tracing on computer monitor by making spinal movements) repositioning 34;...
Differences in organization of the primary motor cortex and altered trunk control (sensing, processing output) have been reported people with low back pain (LBP). Little is known to what extent these differences are related. We investigated 1) 2) sensory tests between without LBP, 3) associations tests. conducted a case-control study (N=25) LBP. The (Center Gravity (CoG) Area cortical representation muscles) was assessed using neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation, based on...
Since the contribution of lumbar multifidus(LM) is not well understood in relation to non-specific low back pain(LBP), this may limit physiotherapists choosing most appropriate treatment strategy. This study aims compare clinical characteristics, terms LM function and morphology, between subacute chronic LBP patients from a large practice cohort compared healthy controls. Multicenter case control study. Subacute controls 18 65 years age were included. Several tests performed: primary...
