Abstract Background and Purpose Post‐hip‐fracture knee pain (PHFKP) occurs in ∼28%–37% of patients contributes to a prolonged length hospital stay (LOS). Analyses LOS prolongation due PHFKP have been limited univariate analyses that do not consider important confounding factors. After adjusting for factors, we investigated whether the presence or absence makes difference with hip fractures. Methods We conducted retrospective review medical records who had undergone postoperative...
Although the Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) is known to be a reliable and valid measure of balance in individuals with stroke, utility this tool relation subacute stroke walking speed recovery gait ability has not been explored. Here, we compared measurement properties their relationship on Mini-BESTest Berg Balance Scale (BBS) middle older ambulatory investigated which assessment more likely capture status speed.We retrospectively analyzed cases 88 50 years or who had...
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to provide information regarding the knowledge mechanical principles related load applied shoulder and elbow during pitching motion. [Subjects Methods] three-dimensional kinematics body segments were measured in 19 amateur baseball players with a VICON motion capture system. correlation between maximum internal torque, varus simultaneous kinematic parameters including joint angular acceleration ball investigated. [Results] Peak rotation torque averaged...
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationships between falls and sections Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) in patients with stroke or those a history fracture. [Subjects Methods] This longitudinal included 51 self-ambulatory inpatients. assessed 1 week prior discharge using BESTest, incidence within 6 months after investigated. Relationships falling balance components were analyzed t-test Mann-Whitney U test receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve...
[Purpose] The Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) is a comprehensive assessment tool, although it not confined for use in stroke patients. This study aimed to determine the structural validity of BESTest self-ambulatory patients with using both factor and Rasch analyses. [Participants Methods] retrospective included 140 stroke. was analyzed according principal component, exploratory factor, Rasch, confirmatory correlation [Results] analytical results supported four-factor model...
To clarify and compare the structural validity of 3 Balance Evaluation Systems Tests (BESTest, Mini-BESTest, Brief-BESTest) in older adults with femoral or vertebral fractures.Cross-sectional study.Ninety-four (age ?65 years) fractures, who could walk without physical assistance.Four BESTest models one-factor four-factor were examined using confirmatory factor analysis, goodness-of-fit was assessed. Unidimensionality best-fitting model confirmed by Rasch principal component analysis on...
ABSTRACTBackground A Clinical prediction rule (CPR) for determining multi surfaces walking independence in persons with stroke has not been established.Objectives To develop a CPR stroke.Methods This was multicenter retrospective analysis of 419 stroke. We developed Berg Balance Scale (BBS)-model combining the BBS, comfortable speed (CWS) and cognitive impairment, Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest)-model Mini-BESTest, CWS, impairment. logistic regression conducted as...
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between pitching weight and mechanics, including ball reaction force (BRF) temporal parameters, for prevention throwing injury in adult amateur pitchers. [Participants Methods] Twenty male pitchers (mean age, height, body mass: 26 ± 3.4 years, 1.7 0.03 m, 71.6 9.5 kg, respectively) randomly pitched light (110 g) heavy (145 baseballs at maximum velocity. Kinematic, kinetic, parameters were compared balls. [Results] Pitching...
Aim Post‐hip fracture knee pain (PHFKP) develops in 28–37.4% of patients with hip and contributes to prolonged hospitalization. Although reduced balance gait speed contribute falls, the effects PHFKP remain unclear. This study aimed clarify whether is a factor speed. Methods We retrospectively reviewed medical records after fracture. Development PHFKP, basic information, physical function were examined. Berg scale (BBS) maximum walking (MWS) collected at discharge. These parameters compared...
The purpose of this study was to compare the psychometric properties Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) and S-BESTest evaluate which is more suitable for use in clinical settings individuals with stroke.This multicenter retrospective cross-sectional investigated 115 stroke (mean age, 70.8 y [SD = 11.2 y]) who were able stand without physical assistance. All examined BESTest Mini-BESTest scored based on results. data analyzed using a Rasch analysis (partial credit model).The...
Accurate determination of walking independence in older adults after hip fracture surgery is crucial for selecting appropriate strategies and providing fall prevention guidance. We developed validated a clinical prediction rule (CPR) to determine level-surface community with fractures.
Post-hip fracture knee pain (PHFKP) is an important issue that contributes to reduced gait speed and prolonged hospitalization. Femoral morphology has been reported contribute the development of PHFKP, but independent association not confirmed clinically applicable cutoffs for predicting PHFKP remain unclear.To determine whether femoral extension range motion limitation are factors in PHFKP.Retrospective chart review study.Convalescent inpatient rehabilitation hospital.Patients a...
Although the importance of resting in bed for hospitalized older adults is known, current methods interpreting physical activity (PA) recommend use a broad definition sedentary behavior (SB) that includes 0−1.5 metabolic equivalents (METs) sleep (SL) and sitting. We investigated characteristics PA by conducting cross-sectional study 25 with trunk lower extremity fractures. The intensity their was interpreted as SL (0−0.9 METs), SB (1−1.5 low-intensity (LIPA: 1.6−2.9 moderate-to-vigorous...
Abstract Objective No reports on factors or Clinical prediction rules (CPRs) associated with walking independence among patients vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) are available. Evidence regarding epidemiological rates is also sparse. Here, we sought to ( i ) obtain data the probability of inpatients VCFs achieving independence, and ii develop validate a CPR determine in hospitalized VCFs. Patients Methods We conducted retrospective cross‐sectional observational study aged ≥60 years who...
Patients with septic knee arthritis tend to have prolonged pain, which may lead a decrease in physical activity (PA). Pain catastrophizing, is associated chronic known be limiting factor for PA. An objective measurement of PA patients has not been reported. Here we describe the accelerometry-based patient before and after discharge, report ability follow-up outpatient therapy increase PA.A 70-year-old Japanese woman admitted hospital diagnosis left presented pain catastrophizing knee. We...
Compliance rates of youth baseball team coaches with guidelines regarding pitch count limits have been reported, but response from previous surveys not high, which may introduce substantial non-response bias. In addition, differences between cities in guideline compliance remained unclear.
To determine which sections of the Balance Evaluation Systems Test (BESTest) distinguish levels post-stroke functional walking status and to establish their cut-off scores.A retrospective cross-sectional study.The BESTest was administered 87 stroke patients who were able walk without physical assistance upon discharge from hospital. Subjects divided into 3 groups: namely, household ambulators, limited community unlimited ambulators. The receiver operating characteristic curve determined...
