title: Hamstring spasticity assessment: does the hip flexion angle impact outcomes?

description: Hamstring spasticity is prevalent following neurological injury. The standardized assessment involves passive knee extension, in a position of 90° hip flexion. This creates passive insufficiency of the muscle and lacks ecological validity for walking, whereby the hip typically flexes to a maximum of 40° during swing phase, while the knee extends. This study compared assessment outcomes when completed in 40° and 90° hip flexion. The Modified Ashworth Scale and Modified Tardieu Scale, were performed on 35 adults with a neurological condition. Each participant was assessed by three assessors, resulting in 105 trials at 40° and 90°. There was a significant increase in the proportion of trials rated as spastic using the Modified Ashworth Scale (<i>p</i>=.012, phi=.27), and Modified Tardieu Scale (<i>p</i>&lt;.001, phi=.36), and the severity of spasticity using the Modified Ashworth Scale (<i>p</i>&lt;.001, effect size (ES)=.50), and Modified Tardieu Scale (<i>p</i>&lt;.001 ES=.47), at 90° hip flexion. The angle of reaction occurred 32° earlier at 90° hip flexion (<i>p</i>&lt;.001, ES = 1.61). Completing hamstring assessments in 40° hip flexion may reduce the passive insufficiency and improve the ecological validity of assessment, for walking. This may assist in the selection of patients requiring intervention, when their goal relates to walking. The position of the hip joint impacts hamstring spasticity assessment outcomes, regardless of the clinical outcome measure chosenThe application of bedside assessment methods in a manner reflective of functional tasks may assist in selecting individuals who require active spasticity interventionAs per international guidelines, the use of validated outcome measures in a goal directed and patient centered manner is required to maximize patient care The position of the hip joint impacts hamstring spasticity assessment outcomes, regardless of the clinical outcome measure chosen The application of bedside assessment methods in a manner reflective of functional tasks may assist in selecting individuals who require active spasticity intervention As per international guidelines, the use of validated outcome measures in a goal directed and patient centered manner is required to maximize patient care

title: Increasing the delivery of upper limb constraint-induced movement therapy programs for stroke and brain injury survivors: evaluation of the ACTIveARM project

description: To increase the number of constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) programs provided by rehabilitation services. A before-and-after implementation study involving nine rehabilitation services. The implementation package to help change practice included file audit–feedback cycles, 2-day workshops, poster reminders, a community-of-practice and drop-in support. File audits were conducted at baseline, every three months for 1.5 years, and once after support ceased to evaluate maintenance of change. CIMT participant outcomes were collected to evaluate CIMT effectiveness and maintenance (Action Research Arm Test and Motor Activity Log). Staff focus groups explored factors influencing CIMT delivery. CIMT adoption improved from baseline where only 2% of eligible people were offered and/or received CIMT (<i>n</i> = 408 files) to more than 50% over 1.5 years post-implementation (<i>n</i> = 792 files, 52% to 73% offered CIMT, 27%–46% received CIMT). Changes were maintained at 6-month follow-up (<i>n</i> = 172 files, 56% offered CIMT, 40% received CIMT). CIMT participants (<i>n</i> = 74) demonstrated clinically significant improvements in arm function and occupational performance. Factors influencing adoption included interdisciplinary collaboration, patient support needs, intervention adaptations, a need for continued training, and clinician support. The implementation package helped therapists overcome an evidence-practice gap and deliver CIMT more routinely. Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) is a highly effective intervention for arm recovery after acquired brain injury, recommended in multiple clinical practice guidelines yet delivery of CIMT in practice remains rare.A multifaceted implementation package including clinician training workshops, a community of practice, drop in support and regular audit and feedback cycles improved delivery of CIMT programs in practice by neurorehabilitation teams.Stroke survivors and people with brain injury who received a CIMT program in usual practice demonstrated clinically important improvements in arm function, dexterity and occupational performance.

title: Patient experiences of rotator cuff-related shoulder pain and their views on diagnostic shoulder imaging: a qualitative study

description: To explore patient experiences of rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, and their views on the role and value of diagnostic shoulder imaging. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 patients with shoulder pain exploring the impact and management of their shoulder condition, reasons for and experiences of diagnostic imaging, and feelings about and responses to diagnostic imaging findings. Framework analysis was used to analyse the dataset. Five themes were identified [1]: Lived experience and beliefs about pain and movement [2]; Contextualisation of imaging findings by health professionals is more important than the imaging report [3]; Factors influencing whether and when to have imaging [4]; Imaging can identify the actual problem and guide treatment; and [5] Treatment responses and treatment decision making. Patients commonly believe imaging is needed to formulate a diagnosis. There was minimal concern about potential indirect harms that could arise (e.g., inappropriate diagnosis leading to unnecessary treatments). The context of the diagnostic imaging reports (i.e., what needed to be done) was perceived as more important than the exact meaning of the imaging findings. Patients felt that the diagnostic imaging confirmed their existing biomedical beliefs, and these beliefs were not challenged by their healthcare professionals. Patients with shoulder pain may believe imaging is necessary for diagnosis and defining treatment yet do not consider potential indirect harms (e.g., unnecessary treatment for findings that are not relevant).Health professionals should ensure patients are aware of imaging limitations and harms and facilitate shared decision-making about whether to have imaging.Health professionals also have an important role in the appropriate contextualisation of imaging findings (i.e., they do not necessarily relate to pain nor guide treatment).

title: Online mindfulness program (COndiVIDere) for people with multiple sclerosis in the time of COVID-19: a pilot longitudinal study

description: This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a mindfulness-based group intervention (The COndiVIDere program) delivered online to people with MS (PwMS) in the time of COVID-19. This is a single-arm longitudinal study with a nested qualitative study. The COndiVIDere program is composed of five weekly sessions (1-h each) plus three booster monthly sessions. Data were collected immediately before the beginning of the program, after the five weekly sessions, and at 3- and 6-month follow-ups. Fifty PwMS participated in the program. Participants improved in anxiety, stress, loneliness and mindfulness (“non-judgmental inner experience” component). Improvements on most outcomes occurred at post-intervention and reached the statistically significant threshold at 3-month follow-up. Mindfulness improvements keep increasing at each time point. Qualitative data confirmed the COndiVIDere program feasibility and the positive psychological impacts on participants. Mindfulness, compassion and the group setting were considered the most important active elements. Study findings support COndiVIDere feasibility and effectiveness with PwMS and its broad applicability in this population. COndiVIDere is a highly structured, brief, manualized, online mindfulness-based interventionIt is effective in improving participants’ anxiety, stress, loneliness and mindfulnessIt can be effectively delivered online to people with MS with varied socio-demographic and clinical characteristics COndiVIDere is a highly structured, brief, manualized, online mindfulness-based intervention It is effective in improving participants’ anxiety, stress, loneliness and mindfulness It can be effectively delivered online to people with MS with varied socio-demographic and clinical characteristics
