There is a need for better interpretation of orthopedic treatment effects. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are already commonly used patient evaluation. PROMs can be to determine effects in research as well clinical settings by calculating change scores, with pre- and post-treatment The smallest detectable (SDC) minimal important (MIC) two benchmarks interpreting these scores. purpose was the SDC MIC four shoulder-related PROMs: Simple Shoulder Test (SST), Disabilities Arm, Hand...
Aim To evaluate the effectiveness of functional progressive resistance exercise (PRE) strength training on muscle and mobility in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method Fifty‐one spastic uni‐ bilateral CP; (29 males, 22 females; mean age 10y 5mo, SD 1y 10mo, range 6y 0mo–13y 10mo; Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I–III) were randomized to intervention group ( n =26) or control =25, receiving usual care). The trained for 12 weeks, three times a week, five‐exercise circuit,...
Patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often experience strength deficits both pre- and post-operatively. As these may have a direct impact on functional recovery, assessment should be performed in this patient population. For assessments, reliable measurements used. This study aimed to determine the inter- intrarater reliability of hand-held dynamometry (HHD) measuring isometric patients awaiting TKA. To interrater reliability, 32 (81.3% female) were assessed by two examiners....
Background: Several patient-reported outcome measurements are used to measure functional after treatment of meniscal injuries. However, for comparison study results, there is a need uniform and standardized approach measuring outcome. Selection the instrument should be based on quality its measurement properties, only best can justified used. Purpose: This aimed determine compare properties Dutch-language versions International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) Subjective Form, Injury...
Until recently, strength training in children with cerebral palsy (CP) was considered to be inappropriate, because it could lead increased spasticity or abnormal movement patterns. However, the results of recent studies suggest that progressive can and improved function, but low methodological quality incomplete reporting on protocols hampers adequate interpretation results. This paper describes design protocol a randomized controlled trial assess effects school-based functional program for...
To determine the relationship between isometric leg muscle strength and mobility capacity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) compared to typically developing (TD) peers.Participants were 62 CP (6-13 years), able walk (n = 10) or without 52) walking aids, 47 TD children. Isometric of five groups was measured using hand-held dynamometry. Mobility assessed 1-min walk, 10-m sit-to-stand, lateral-step-up timed-stair tests.Isometric reduced 36-82% TD. When adjusted for age height, percentage...
Aim When analysing the reliability of ratio‐scaled variables, such as walking energy cost, variability error term often increases with increasing mean values. This phenomenon is called heteroscedasticity, and it makes analysis more complicated. study presents an examination heteroscedasticity for cost before reliability. Method Walking was collected from 33 children cerebral palsy (CP), varying Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels (19 males; 14 females; age: 7y 6mo [SD...
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) typically show muscle weakness of the lower extremities, which can be measured use handheld dynamometry (HHD).The purposes this study were: (1) to determine test-retest reliability and measurement error isometric lower-extremity strength measurements in children CP HHD (2) assess implications for design.A design was used.Fourteen hemiplegic (n=6) or diplegic (n=8) spastic (Gross Motor Function Classification System levels I-III), ages 7 13 years, were...
Abnormalities in the elbow range of motion (ROM) can be subtle; therefore, it is important that examiner compare findings with reliable reference values, matching patients' characteristics. Primarily, we aimed to provide normative values for ROM subpopulations based on age, sex, dominance and body mass index (BMI). The secondary objective was determine intra- inter-rater reliability.aROM (active motion) pROM (passive were measured bilaterally healthy adults using a universal goniometer....
Background and purpose - The reliability of conventional radiography when classifying distal radius fractures (DRF) is fair to moderate. We investigated whether increases additional computed tomography scans (CT) are used. Patients methods In this prospective study, we performed pre- postreduction posterior-anterior lateral radiographs 51 patients presenting with a displaced DRF. case was included there (questionable) indication for surgical treatment an CT conducted within 5 days. 4...
