Objective. Knowledge about the range of symptoms experienced by patients with SSc, and their impact on daily functioning is limited. The objective present study was to identify SSc that rated as frequent highly impacted ability carry out activities.
Objective. The reported rates of depressive symptoms in patients with SSc are high. Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) is the only measure validated patients. objective this study was to assess internal consistency reliability, convergent validity and strength association clinical correlates 9-item version Patient Health Questionnaire depression scale (PHQ-9) compared CES-D SSc. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional, multicentre 566 who were assessed PHQ-9 scales,...
Objective. SSc is a rare autoimmune CTD characterized by thickening and fibrosis of skin internal organs. There significant mortality no cure. Sleep disturbance has been identified as an important contributor to poor quality life. The objective was investigate socio-demographic medical factors potentially associated with sleep in SSc.
Objective. Both oral and global health-related quality of life (HRQoL) are markedly impaired in SSc. In this study we aimed to determine the degree association between HRQoL Methods. Subjects were recruited from Canadian Scleroderma Research Group registry. Global was measured using Medical Outcomes Trust 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) with Oral Impact Profile (OHIP). The Medsger Disease Severity Score used organ involvement. Multivariate regression models determined independent...
Context : The hamstrings are the most commonly injured muscle in sports and especially injury prone lengthened positions. Measuring knee strength such positions could be relevant to establish risk. Handheld dynamometry has been shown a valid, reliable, practical tool measure isometric clinically. aim of this study was assess validity reliability assessment with handheld dynamometer (HHD) at various lengths, by modifying hip angles during testing. Design Concurrent test–retest reliability....
Objectives. To adapt the self-administered comorbidity questionnaire (SCQ) into Early Inflammatory Arthritis—SCQ (EIA-SCQ) and assess its clinimetric properties in EIA. Methods. The EIA-SCQ indices of disease activity, function, pain, health-related quality life (HRQoL) health resource utilization were administered to 320 patients with Twenty completed a second time 1 week later. Construct validity was evaluated by testing hypotheses that valid index would correlate well age, weakly HRQoL...
To study the prevalence of suprapatellar fat pad (SPFP) MR alterations in asymptomatic subjects, relation to a wide range clinical/imaging parameters, including muscle performance tests and physical activity data.We prospectively included 110 subjects as part cohort study. Inclusion criteria were no knee pain last year. Exclusion any medical/surgical history disorder. Subjects underwent low-dose posture radiographs [EOS®], 3 T MRI, clinical examination tests, monitoring. The presence/absence...
