Fear-Avoidance Beliefs and Clinical Outcomes for Patients Seeking Outpatient Physical Therapy for Musculoskeletal Pain Conditions
Authors: George Steven Z. , Stryker Sandra E. 
Published: March 2011

Study Design Prospective cohort. Objective To investigate fear-avoidance eliefs across different anatomical regions for patients with musculoskeletal pain. Background Fear-avoidance beliefs were first widely studied in patients with low back pain. The early results of studies involving patients with cervical spine, knee, and shoulder disorders suggest that fear-avoidance beliefs have the potential to influence pain and function in different anatomical regions. However, very few prospective studies of fear-avoidance beliefs involve multiple anatomical regions. Methods The sample of this study consisted of 313 patients (mean age, 45.5 years; 115 males, 198 females) seeking outpatient physical therapy for cervical spine (n = 63), upper extremity (n = 58), lumbar spine (n = 79), or lower extremity (n = 113) complaints. During the intake session, patients completed the Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire physical activity scale (FABQ-PA), modified for the appropriate anatomical location. Patients also rated pain intensity and function on the Therapeutic Associates Outcomes System (TAOS) Functional Index at intake and discharge. The collection of treatment-related parameters included the number of visits, calendar days of physical therapy, and treatment received. FABQ-PA scores were compared across anatomical regions. Elevated FABQ-PA scores and anatomical regions were also investigated for association with intake pain and function, clinical outcomes, and treatment utility parameters. Results Similar FABQ-PA levels were observed across the 4 anatomical regions (P>.05). Number of visits, calendar days of physical therapy, and treatment received did not differ between elevated and lower fear-avoidance belief levels (P>.05). Findings for pain intensity and function were similar for each anatomical region. Patients with elevated fear-avoidance beliefs had higher intake scores (P<.05), larger improvements (P<.05), but similar discharge scores (P>.05), compared to those with lower fear-avoidance beliefs. Conclusions These data suggest that, in patients with cervical, upper extremity, lumbar, or lower extremity complaints, fear-avoidance beliefs may have a similar influence on intake and change scores for pain intensity and function. General assessment of fear-avoidance beliefs using the FABQ-PA, especially to predict change scores, may be appropriate for use in patients with various musculoskeletal pain conditions.

Published: March 2011

Study Design Prospective cohort with historical controls. Objective To examine the effects of a 12-week preoperative high-intensity resistance training program on postoperative outcomes. Background The primary goals of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) are to decrease pain and improve overall function during activities of daily living and participation in sport and recreation in relatively young, active individuals with knee osteoarthritis. However, the postoperative recovery typically requires a considerable period of protected weight-bearing that can result in substantial deficits in muscular strength. Methods Fourteen patients (mean ± SD, 48.0 ± 7.8 years; 13 males, 1 females), scheduled for medial opening wedge HTO, completed a 12-week preoperative high-intensity isokinetic resistance training program focusing on quadriceps and hamstrings strength. These patients were matched to baseline clinical and demographic characteristics of 14 patients who previously received a medial opening wedge HTO without preoperative training. All outcomes were measured before and 6 months after surgery. The sport and recreation subscale of the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) was the primary outcome of interest. Secondary outcomes included the other KOOS subscales, scores on the Lower Extremity Functional Scale, and selected kinematic and kinetic variables obtained from 3-dimensional gait analysis. Results The patients in the preoperative training group achieved significantly greater scores on the KOOS sport and recreation (mean ± SD, 58.6 ± 16.6 versus 42.1 ± 20.4; mean difference, 16.4; 95% CI: 2.0, 30.9) and activities of daily living (mean ± SD, 85.3 ± 9.3 versus 76.9 ± 12.0; mean difference, 8.4; 95% CI: 0.1, 16.8) subscales. There were no significant differences between groups on other outcomes. Conclusion The present findings suggest preoperative high-intensity resistance training of the quadriceps and hamstrings before HTO improves postoperative functioning in sport, recreation, and activities of daily living.

Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Objectives To examine the effect of 2 adhesive tape conditions compared to a no-tape condition on muscle activity of the fibularis longus during a sudden inversion perturbation in male athletes (soccer, team handball, basketball). Background Ankle sprains are common in sports, and the fibularis muscles play a role in providing functional stability of the ankle. Prophylactic ankle taping with nonelastic sports tape has been used to restrict ankle inversion. Kinesio Tape, an elastic sports tape, has not been studied for that purpose. Methods Fifty-one male premier-league athletes were tested for functional stability of both ankles with the Star Excursion Balance Test. Based on the results, those with the 15 highest and those with the 15 lowest stability scores were selected for further testing. Muscle activity of the fibularis longus was recorded with surface electromyography during a sudden inversion perturbation. Each participant was tested under 3 conditions: ankle taped with nonelastic white sports tape, ankle taped with Kinesio Tape, and no ankle taping. Differences in mean muscle activity were evaluated with a 3-way mixed-model analysis of variance (ANOVA) for the 3 conditions, across four 500-millisecond time frames, and between the 2 groups of stable versus unstable participants. Differences in peak muscle activity and in the time to peak muscle activity were evaluated with a 2-way mixed-model ANOVA. Results Significantly greater mean muscle activity was found when ankles were taped with nonelastic tape compared to no tape, while Kinesio Tape had no significant effect on mean or maximum muscle activity compared to the no-tape condition. Neither stability level nor taping condition had a significant effect on the amount of time from perturbation to maximum activity of the fibularis longus muscle. Conclusion Nonelastic sports tape may enhance dynamic muscle support of the ankle. The efficacy of Kinesio Tape in preventing ankle sprains via the same mechanism is unlikely, as it had no effect on muscle activation of the fibularis longus.

Lower Trapezius Muscle Strength in Individuals With Unilateral Neck Pain
Authors: Petersen Shannon M. , Wyatt Sarah N. 
Published: March 2011

Study Design Descriptive and within-subject comparative study. Objectives To examine lower trapezius muscle strength in individuals with unilateral neck pain. Background Previous research has established the presence of reduced cervical flexor, extensor, and rotator muscle strength in individuals with neck pain. Some authors have suggested that individuals with neck pain have limited strength of the lower trapezius muscle, yet no research has investigated this claim. Methods Twenty-five individuals with unilateral neck pain participated in this study. Participants completed the Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire (NPQ) as a measure of disability. Side of neck pain, duration of neck pain, and hand dominance were recorded. Lower trapezius muscle strength was assessed bilaterally in each participant, using a handheld dynamometer. Results A significant difference in lower trapezius strength was found between sides (P<.001), with participants demonstrating an average of 3.9 N less force on the side of neck pain. The tested levels of association between NPQ score and percent strength deficit (r = −0.31, P = .13), and between symptom duration and percent strength deficit (r = −0.25, P = .22), were not statistically significant. No significant association was found between hand dominance and side of stronger lower trapezius (P= .59). Conclusion The results of this study demonstrate that individuals with unilateral neck pain exhibit significantly less lower trapezius strength on the side of neck pain compared to the contralateral side. This study suggests a possible association between lower trapezius muscle weakness and neck pain. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2011;41(4):260–265, Epub 2 February 2011. doi:10.2519/jospt.2011.3503

Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Objectives To test for kinematic and kinetic differences between baseball pitching from a mound and long-toss on flat ground. Background Long-toss throws from flat ground are commonly used by baseball pitchers for rehabilitation, conditioning, and training. However, there is controversy over the biomechanics and functionality of such throws. Methods Seventeen healthy, college baseball pitchers pitched fastballs 18.4 m from a mound to a strike zone, and threw 37 m, 55 m, and maximum distance from flat ground. For the 37-m and 55-m throws, participants were instructed to throw “hard, on a horizontal line.” For the maximum-distance throw, no constraint on trajectory was given. Kinematics and kinetics were measured with a 3-dimensional, automated motion analysis system. Repeated-measures analyses of variance, with post hoc paired t tests, were used to compare the 4 throw types within pitchers. Results At foot contact, the participant's shoulder line was nearly horizontal when pitching from a mound and became progressively more inclined as throwing distance increased. At arm cocking, the greatest amount of shoulder external rotation (mean ± SD, 180° ± 11°), elbow flexion (109° ± 10°), shoulder internal rotation torque (101 ± 17 Nm), and elbow varus torque (100 ± 18 Nm) were measured during the maximum-distance throws. Elbow extension velocity was also greatest for the maximum-distance throws (2573°/s ± 203°/s). Forward trunk tilt at the instant of ball release decreased as throwing distance increased. Conclusion Hard, horizontal, flat-ground throws have biomechanical patterns similar to those of pitching and are, therefore, reasonable exercises for pitchers. However, maximum-distance throws produce increased torques and changes in kinematics. Caution is, therefore, advised in the use of these throws for rehabilitation and training.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Clinical Tests and Signs of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Authors: Reneker Jennifer , Paz Jaime , Petrosino Christopher , Cook Chad 
Published: March 2011

Study Design Systematic review. Objective To summarize the research on accuracy of individual clinical diagnostic signs and tests for the presence of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), and for the subclassifications affiliated with TMD. Background Diagnosis of TMD through clinical diagnostic measures has been reported in many studies; however, few of these studies have identified individual clinical tests or signs that can aid in the diagnosis of TMD or differentiate between the subclassifications of TMD. Methods Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were followed for this review. Computerized and hand searches were completed to locate articles on the diagnostic accuracy of clinical tests and signs. To be considered for review, the study required (1) an assessment of individual clinical measures of TMD, (2) a report of the diagnostic accuracy of these measures, and (3) an acceptable reference standard for comparison. Quality assessment of studies of diagnostic accuracy (QUADAS) scores were completed on each selected article. Sensitivity and specificity and negative and positive likelihood ratios were calculated for each diagnostic test described. Results The search strategy identified 131 potential articles, which were narrowed down to 7 that met the criteria for this review. After assessment using the QUADAS score, 3 of the 7 articles were of high quality. All 7 studies used tests to differentiate subclassifications of TMD. The 7 studies included (1) diagnostic tests/signs of joint sounds, (2) joint movements, or (3) clinically oriented pain measures. There were no studies that investigated TMD versus a competing, non-TMD condition. Conclusion Only 3 studies presented in this literature review were of high quality. Because all of the included studies assessed diagnostic accuracy among subclassifications of individuals suspected of having TMD, the ability of any of these tests to distinguish between patients with TMD versus patients without TMD remains unknown. Because of the lack of clear findings indicating compelling evidence for clinical diagnosis of TMD, and because of the low quality of most of these studies, the data are insufficient to support or reject these tests.

Syntaxe et sémantique formelle des constructions verbales exprimant des relations symétriques
Authors: Pasero Robert , Sabatier Paul , Stéfanini Marie-Hélène 
Published: March 2011

Nous nous livrons à une étude syntaxique et sémantique des verbes du français qui sont dans leur essence symétriques, ainsi que les constructions verbales où la relation symétrique est construite en associant à un verbe non symétrique un complément en avec à sens comitatif. Nous proposons un type de présentation sémantique pour ces constructions et montrons à quel niveau de représentation le caractère symétrique de ces verbes doit être spécifié. Nous présentons les principes que nous avons mis en œuvre pour établir à partir des 26 509 entrées du dictionnaire Les Verbes français (Dubois & Dubois-Charlier 1997) une liste des verbes intrinsèquement symétriques.
La formalisation du dictionnaire LVF avec NooJ et ses applications pour l'analyse automatique de corpus
Authors: Silberztein Max 
Published: March 2011

Nous montrons comment nous avons formalisé les informations linguistiques contenues dans le dictionnaire LVF de façon à ce qu’un système d’analyse automatique de textes puisse les traiter. Le processus de formalisation des niveaux lexicaux, morphologiques, syntaxiques et sémantiques a nécessité la construction de nouvelles ressources électroniques : dictionnaire, règles de morphologie, grammaires syntaxiques. L’application automatique de ces ressources à des corpus de textes de grande taille permet de produire des analyses sur les emplois des verbes, et non plus sur des formes morphologiques. Nous discutons les problèmes liés à la levée des ambiguïtés sémantiques produites. L’utilisation de données linguistiques à la fois riches et fines a de nouvelles applications que nous présentons.
Exhaustivité et représentativité des expressions comportant dire dans Locutions en français de J. Dubois et F. Dubois-Charlier
Authors: Marque-Pucheu Christiane 
Published: March 2011

Le dictionnaire électronique Locutions en français (LEF) de J. Dubois et F. Dubois-Charlier (2004) vise moins l’exhaustivité lexicale que la couverture des patrons (« schèmes ») syntaxiques dans lesquels s’insèrent les locutions. Si LEF prétend enregistrer l’ensemble des constructions typiques des locutions, est-ce que tout ce que l’on peut rassembler sous cette étiquette entre effectivement dans le cadre de LEF ? Partant du verbe dire dans des expressions formulaires à fonction situationnelle, nous nous proposons de voir, à partir d’exemples recensés dans différents corpus et dictionnaires, quelle couverture offre LEF . Parmi les expressions non recensées dans LEF , nous mettons à l’épreuve la pertinence du principe d’exhaustivité : soit les locutions non enregistrées peuvent s’inscrire dans un schéma déjà dessiné dans LEF – et les patrons syntaxiques recensés auraient alors une capacité prédictive –, soit les exemples non répertoriés ne s’inscrivent dans aucun patron. Dans ce dernier cas, nous montrons qu’il suffit, pour régulariser les exemples, de préciser le sous-type de phrase « focalisée » ou de rattacher la construction verbale sans objet exprimé à une construction de dire recensée dans Les Verbes français (LVF) de J. Dubois et F. Dubois Charlier (1997).
Picard et français : la grammaire de la différence
Authors: Auger Julie 
Published: March 2011

Pour Éloy (1997), deux conditions doivent être réunies pour que le picard soit considéré comme une langue : il doit être perçu comme étant une variété autonome du français par ses locuteurs et cette perception doit reposer sur des structures linguistiques distinctes. Cet article examine l’épenthèse vocalique. La complexité du système mis à jour, combinée avec le développement d’un standard littéraire picard autonome du français, nous amène à conclure que le picard constitue une langue distincte.
L'ancrage territorial des armements de lignes régulières : le cas de la rangée Nord Europe
Authors: Franc Pierre 
Published: March 2011

Les maillons des chaînes de transport conteneurisées étant de plus en plus enchevêtrés, les armements de lignes régulières mettent parfois en œuvre des services de manutention et/ou de transport terrestre. L’approche sectorielle adoptée par la plupart des travaux en transport maritime peint très bien les raisons générales de l’engouement des armements pour les activités terrestres. Mais des questions demeurent. Quelles sont les conditions présidant à l’implication sur terre de certains armements et pas d’autres ? Pourquoi certains ports et arrière-pays se prêtent mieux que d’autres à l’intervention des armements sur terre ? En confrontant les travaux des économistes régionaux et de la proximité à l’intervention des armements dans les ports et arrière-pays de la rangée Nord Europe, l’article souligne la nécessité de considérer simultanément les évolutions de l’industrie maritime, les caractéristiques des armements qui parviennent à entrer sur terre et des territoires supports de leurs comportements d’ancrage.
Capitalisme, crises de trésorerie et donneurs d'avis : une relecture des années 1783‑1789
Authors: Legay Marie-Laure 
Published: March 2011

Résumé Cette étude analyse les crises de trésorerie de 1783 et 1787‑1788 comme points de rupture dans le temps long de l’histoire socioéconomique et sociopolitique de l’État. La crise de trésorerie est en amont un dérèglement des circuits capitalistes habituels d’alimentation du Trésor, un dérèglement de l’État qui cesse de payer ses billets et une remise en cause, en aval, du lien politique qui unit l’organisation publique et ses créanciers. Une crise de trésorerie ne peut se saisir qu’à partir d’une connaissance plus large de l’organisation financière dont elle bloque les rouages. Les crises françaises de 1783 et 1787 n’échappent pas à cette exigence, et nous souhaitons ici en faire une analyse renouvelée. L’article revisite les mécanismes de banqueroute à la lumière des choix de gestion comptable adoptés dans les années 1720, en montrant comment ces choix ont lesté le poids des intermédiaires financiers maîtres de la trésorerie du royaume, mais aussi comment ils ont joué sur les conditions de négociation du crédit public. Le recours‑panique à la rente dans le courant des années 1780 a consolidé une nation de créanciers dont l’assise sociale s’est élargie et dont les avis, exprimés à l’intention de Necker, tranchent avec ceux des patriotes.
L'inventaire du monde des cités grecques. Une somme, une méthode et une conception de l'histoire
Authors: Fröhlich Pierre 
Published: March 2011

Résumé L’indépendance de l’ancienne colonie française de Saint-Domingue devenue Haïti en 1804 est reconnue par son ancienne métropole en 1825 en échange d’une indemnité de 150 millions de francs, diminuée à 90 millions en 1838. Ce montant est destiné à dédommager les anciens propriétaires dépossédés de leurs biens suite à l’abolition de l’esclavage de 1793-1794 et à la perte de Saint-Domingue. Une commission étatique est nommée en 1826 afin de procéder à la distribution de l’indemnité à ses ayants droit. Son fonctionnement technique est longtemps resté inconnu, jusqu’à la découverte il y a quelques années d’un manuscrit contenant les procès-verbaux d’une section de la commission, dans lesquels sont examinées et discutées un certain nombre de demandes d’indemnisation. L’analyse de ces différents dossiers d’appréciation révèle les multiples écueils auxquels se heurtent les commissions chargées de distribuer l’indemnité, ainsi que les stratégies parfois discutables imaginées pour les surmonter. Cette source tout à fait inédite apporte un éclairage absolument fondamental sur la question jusque-là méconnue du versement pour le moins équivoque de l’indemnité de Saint-Domingue. Cette précieuse découverte permet ainsi l’étude détaillée de cet aspect essentiel de la problématique qui constitue l’objet central de cet article.
Travailler dans les égouts de Paris : de la peur de la contamination à la confrérie secrète
Authors: Ferreira Adeline 
Published: March 2011

Résumé Cet article s’appuie sur une intervention réalisée, en psychodynamique du travail, auprès des égoutiers de la ville de Paris. Leur activité, invisible, insalubre, ne bénéficie pas d’une image valorisante. La prévalence de la contamination est manifeste dans les situations de travail et pose la question des processus psychiques à l’œuvre. Comment les égoutiers se dégagent-ils, seuls et collectivement, de l’emprise du déchet et de la souillure ? L’analyse s’appuie notamment sur les concepts de sale boulot, de dynamique de reconnaissance et de collectif pour comprendre comment les égoutiers s’efforcent de construire les conditions de leur légitimité. Par le truchement d’un cadre symbolique et signifiant, ils donnent sens à leur travail et édictent des règles pour se préserver, tout en assurant une qualité de travail.
