In spite of pain in the CRPS limb, clinical observations show patients pay little attention to, and fail to care for, their affected limb as if it were not part body.Literature describes this phenomenon terms neurological neglect-like symptoms.This qualitative study sought explore nature with a view providing insights into central mechanisms relationship pain.Twenty-seven participants who met IASP classification interviewed using methods feelings perceptions about body parts.These...
Objectives Pain visual analogue scales (VAS) are commonly used in clinical trials and often treated as an interval level scale without evidence that this is appropriate. This paper examines the internal construct validity responsiveness of pain VAS using Rasch analysis. Methods Patients (n = 221, mean age 67, 58% female) with chronic stable joint (hip 40% or knee 60%) mechanical origin waiting for replacement were included. was scored on seven daily VASs. analysis to examine fit model....
Knowledge of the position one's limbs is an essential component daily function and relies on complex interactions sensorimotor body schema-related information. Those with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) express difficulty in knowing where their affected limb positioned. The aim this study was to determine degree which experimental data supported reported sense. A controlled design used measure upper accuracy amongst those CRPS one arm. Position individually measured both arms compared...
Fatigue is a common and troubling symptom for people with multiple sclerosis (MS).To evaluate the effectiveness cost-effectiveness of six-session group-based programme managing MS-fatigue (Fatigue: Applying Cognitive behavioural Energy Techniques to lifeStyle (FACETS)).Three-centre parallel arm randomised controlled trial economic evaluation. Patients MS significant fatigue were FACETS plus current local practice (FACETS) or alone (CLP), using concealed computer-generated randomisation....
First contact physiotherapy practitioners (FCPPs) are embedded within general practice, providing expert assessment, diagnosis, and management plans for patients with musculoskeletal disorders (MSKDs), without the prior need GP consultation. To determine clinical effectiveness costs of FCPP models compared GP-led care. Multiple site case-study design practices in UK. General practice sites were recruited representing following three models: 1) care; 2) FCPPs who could not prescribe or inject...
Background : Most stroke-related studies have consisted of people over the age 65. This study examined unmet needs young with stroke, living in community housing UK. Method People a stroke (>1 year ago), two bands (18-45; 46-65) were sent Southampton Needs Assessment Questionnaire for Stroke. Results 315 out 639 (49%) questionnaires returned (mean 55, SD 9; 189 males, 126 females). The median number reported was (IQR 0-6). most frequently were: provision information about responders' (45%);...
Objective: To evaluate the validity and reliability of an English version Impact on Participation Autonomy Questionnaire (IPA). The original Dutch IPA has been shown to load onto five factors. Design: A validation study. Setting: Outpatients clinics people’s homes. Subjects: Two hundred thirteen people with multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, spinal cord injury, general practice attendees, stratified by level disability (median age 54, 42% male, 58% female). Inclusion criteria: as...
Many people suffer with Osteoarthritis (OA) and subsequent morbidity. Therefore, measuring outcome associated OA is important. The Western Ontario McMaster Universities Index (WOMAC) has been a widely used patient reported in OA. However, there relatively little evidence to support the use of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) version scale. We aimed explore internal validity responsiveness this VAS WOMAC. Patients chronic hip or knee pain mechanical origin, waiting for joint replacement completed...
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a standard National Health Service cardiac rehabilitation programme on risk factor reduction for patients after minor stroke transient ischaemic attack. Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial. Setting: Cardiac classes. Subjects: Twenty-four patients. Intervention: All participants received care. In addition, intervention group undertook an eight-week consisting weekly exercise education Outcome measures: Cardiovascular...
Fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim was to evaluate effectiveness at 1-year follow-up a manualised group-based programme (‘FACETS’) for managing MS-fatigue. One-year pragmatic multi-centre randomised controlled trial. People with MS significant fatigue were FACETS plus current local practice (FACETS) or alone (CLP), using concealed computer-generated randomisation. Participant blinding not possible. Primary outcome measures severity...
To develop a multivariate tool that would predict recurrent instability after first-time traumatic anterior shoulder dislocation.Participants (aged 16-40 years) were recruited across New Zealand into prospective cohort study. Baseline data collected during telephone interview and through examination of radiology records. Variables associated with selected for the logistic regression model using backwards selection (p<0.10). Coefficients those variables retained in used to predictive...
Abstract Aim To investigate the relationship between surface and deep acting in nurses' patient‐focused collegial emotional labour, with exhaustion, depersonalization personal accomplishment intention to leave. Design A cross‐sectional descriptive study using Emotional Labour Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory leave Yes/No questions 118 Registered Nurses measure burnout Results Surface labour was found have positive associations their current job. Only positively associated organization and/or...
To evaluate the cross-cultural validity of five subscales Impact on Participation and Autonomy (IPA) measure full 31-item scale.Data from two validation studies (Dutch English) were pooled (n = 106). Participants (aged 18-75), known to rehabilitation services or GP practices, had conditions ranging minor ailments significant disability. Validity total scale was examined using Rasch analysis (Partial Credit Model). P values smaller than 0.01 employed allow for multiple testing.A number items...
Purpose. To examine the internal validity of static sitting balance, dynamic and coordination subscales Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS), a reliable valid scale measuring trunk performance balance in people after stroke.
