Abstract
Objective To explore physical activity trajectories during the discharge transition phase after in-hospital rehabilitation after acquired brain injury (ABI). Design A cross-sectional observational study. Setting Transition from an in-hospital rehabilitation center to community-based living. Participants Independently walking patients with ABI (n=10) who were ready for discharge. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Two weeks of physically active time continuously monitored with an accelerometer and classified by a machine learning algorithm summed as daily average and total active time for each participant and classified into standing, walking, running, bike riding, stair climbing, ambulation, and sedentary time. Physical activity trajectories showing the total daily active time for all participants were inspected before and after discharge, and the average active time per participant was plotted against self-reported scores of potentially explanatory factors. Results Average total physically active time was 5:49 hours (range 4:26-7:13 hours). Average daily physically active time for participants appeared to be related to functional independence measure sub scores, fatigue, and pre-morbid physical activity level. Individual physical activity trajectories showed a decreased walking activity after discharge, which increased again after 1-2 days. Conclusions Daily total physically active time among participants was higher than expected. Factors expectedly related to physical activity trajectories in the discharge transition phase were explored and showed some relation to functional scores.

Abstract
Purpose: The main objective was to assess the feasibility of conducting a full randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effectiveness of the OA Go Away (OGA) behavioural intervention on adherence to prescribed exercise, level of physical activity, goal attainment, and health outcomes, and to determine the acceptability of the OGA. The OGA is an internal reinforcement tool designed to promote exercise adherence for people with hip or knee OA. Method: This 3-month pragmatic pilot RCT included 40 participants with hip or knee OA who were randomized into the treatment group who used the OGA for three months, or standard care. Results: This pilot RCT which included 37 participants (17 in the treatment group and 20 in the control group) showed that it would be feasible to complete a full RCT of the OGA behavioural intervention with adjustments to the format of the OGA (electronic), inclusion criteria, outcome measures and duration. The OGA was felt to be useful (75%) and motivational (82%) by participants. Conclusions: This pilot RCT justifies a formal RCT of the OGA and shows promising results concerning its acceptability, especially if available in an electronic format.

The Effectiveness of Self-Guided Digital Interventions to Improve Physical Activity and Exercise Outcomes for People With Chronic Conditions: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. FRONTIERS IN REHABILITATION SCIENCES 2022; 3:925620. [PMID: 36188933 PMCID: PMC9397696 DOI: 10.3389/fresc.2022.925620] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 05/31/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
Objective The aim of this systematic review was to determine the effectiveness of self-guided digital physical activity (PA) and exercise interventions to improve physical activity and exercise (PA&E) outcomes for people living with chronic health conditions. Digital health interventions, especially those with minimal human contact, may offer a sustainable solution to accessing ongoing services and support for this population. Methods A comprehensive and systematic search was conducted up to December 2021, through seven databases, for randomized trials that evaluated the effect of self-guided web- or internet-based PA interventions on physical activity or exercise outcomes. Included studies had to have interventions with minimal human contact and interaction with participants needed to be automatically generated. All studies were screened for eligibility and relevant data were extracted. Two independent reviewers assessed the risk of bias using the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Standardized mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. PA data were pooled, and forest plots were generated. Results Sixteen studies met the eligibility criteria and included a total of 2,439 participants. There was wide variation in health conditions and intervention characteristics in mode and parameters of delivery, and in the application of theory and behavioral strategies. Self-reported PA in the intervention group was greater than controls at the end of the intervention [standardized mean difference (SMD) 0.2, 95% CI = 0.1, 0.3] and at follow up (SMD 0.3, 95% CI 0.2-0.5). The difference in objectively measured PA was small and non-significant (SMD 0.3, 95% CI -0.2 to 0.9). All interventions included behavioral strategies and ten of the sixteen were underpinned by theory. Conclusions Self-guided digital PA&E interventions provided a positive effect on PA immediately after the intervention. An unexpected and positive finding was a sustained increase in PA at follow-up, particularly for interventions where the behavioral strategies were underpinned by a theoretical framework. Interventions with minimal contact have the potential to support sustained PA engagement at least as well as interventions with supervision.

Abstract
With the growing number of people affected by osteoarthritis, wearable technology may enable the provision of care outside a traditional clinical setting and thus transform how healthcare is delivered for this patient group. Here, we mapped the available empirical evidence on the utilization of wearable technology in a real-world setting in people with knee osteoarthritis. From an analysis of 68 studies, we found that the use of accelerometers for physical activity assessment is the most prevalent mode of use of wearable technology in this population. We identify low technical complexity and cost, ability to connect with a healthcare professional, and consistency in the analysis of the data as the most critical facilitators for the feasibility of using wearable technology in a real-world setting. To fully realize the clinical potential of wearable technology for people with knee osteoarthritis, this review highlights the need for more research employing wearables for information sharing and treatment, increased inter-study consistency through standardization and improved reporting, and increased representation of vulnerable populations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to determine a cut-off value for physical activity (PA), measured using an accelerometer, between patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) who decided to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and those who continued conservative treatment. METHODS Forty-two participants were assigned to either a TKA group or a non-TKA group (21 per group). They were instructed to wear an accelerometer throughout the day. Average daily steps (steps/day), average daily time of light PA (LPA) (min/day), and average daily time of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) (min/day) were measured for seven days. Variables between the two groups were compared using univariate analyses, and then a stepwise logistic regression was conducted to determine which variables best correlated with undergoing TKA. The PA cut-offs were analysed using the receiver operating characteristic curve. RESULTS Pain severity (p = 0.002), KL grade (p = 0.001), and MVPA (p = 0.012) differed significantly between the groups. The most useful cut-off value was 5.84 (min/day) for MVPA (AUC = 0.773), although only pain severity and KL grade were found to be significant contributors to undergoing TKA. CONCLUSIONS Our results revealed there was a significant decrease in PA levels (MVPA cut-off, 5-6 min/day) in the TKA group compared with the non-TKA group.

Abstract
This study examined whether an alignment of physical activity (PA) between osteoarthritis patients and their spouses, which was previously proven by accelerometry, might also be revealed by self-report. The PA of 28 cohabitating couples (58–83 years) was assessed by means of synchronous accelerometry (ActiGraph wGTX3-BT) and compared to their according self-reports in the German Physical Activity, Exercise, and Sport Questionnaire (BSA-F). Both methods were used to quantify the average weekly light PA, moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA), and total PA. Accelerometry revealed no differences in weekly light PA and total PA (p ≥ 0.187) between patients and spouses, whereas the patients’ spouses accumulated significantly more MVPA (p = 0.015). In contrast, the self-report did not reveal any differences between the two groups in terms of PA (p ≥ 0.572). Subsequent correlation analyses indicated that accelerometry data for mild PA and total PA were significantly correlated in couples (r ≥ 0.385, p ≤ 0.024), but MVPA was not (r = 0.257, p = 0.097). The self-reported PA data, on the other hand, did not indicate any significant correlation (r ≤ 0.046, p ≥ 0.409). The presented results give a first indication that an alignment of PA between osteoarthritis patients and their spouses is most likely to be detected by accelerometry, but not by self-report.

Criterion validity of The International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) for use in clinical practice in patients with osteoarthritis. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:232. [PMID: 33639913 PMCID: PMC7916302 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04069-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To tailor physical activity treatment programs for patients with osteoarthritis, clinicians need valid and feasible measurement tools to evaluate habitual physical activity. The widely used International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF) is not previously validated in patients with osteoarthritis. PURPOSE To assess the concurrent criterion validity of the IPAQ-SF in patients with osteoarthritis, using an accelerometer as a criterion-method. METHOD Patients with osteoarthritis (n = 115) were recruited at The Division of Rheumatology and Research at Diakonhjemmet Hospital (Oslo, Norway). Physical activity was measured by patients wearing an accelerometer (ActiGraph wGT3X-BT) for seven consecutive days, followed by reporting their physical activity for the past 7 days using the IPAQ-SF. Comparison of proportions that fulfilled physical activity recommendations as measured by the two methods were tested by Pearson Chi-Square analysis. Differences in physical activity levels between the IPAQ-SF and the accelerometer were analyzed with Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test and Spearman rank correlation test. Bland-Altman plots were used to visualize the concurrent criterion validity for total- and intensity-specific physical activity levels. RESULTS In total, 93 patients provided complete physical activity data, mean (SD) age was 65 (8.7) years, 87% were women. According to the IPAQ-SF, 57% of the patients fulfilled the minimum physical activity recommendations compared to 31% according to the accelerometer (p = 0.043). When comparing the IPAQ-SF to the accelerometer we found significant under-reporting of total physical activity MET-minutes (p = < 0.001), sitting (p = < 0.001) and walking (p < 0.001), and significant over-reporting of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (p < 0.001). For the different physical activity levels, correlations between the IPAQ-SF and the accelerometer ranged from rho 0.106 to 0.462. The Bland-Altman plots indicated an increased divergence between the two methods with increasing time spent on moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity. CONCLUSION Physical activity is a core treatment of osteoarthritis. Our finding that patients tend to over-report activity of higher intensity and under-report low-intensity activity and sitting-time is of clinical importance. We conclude that the concurrent criterion validity of the IPAQ-SF was weak in patients with osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Unmet expectations contribute to a high patient dissatisfaction rate following total knee replacement but clinicians currently do not have the tools to confidently adjust expectations. In this study, supervised machine learning was applied to multi-variate wearable sensor data from preoperative timed-up-and-go tests. Participants (n=82) were instrumented three months after surgery and patients showing relevant improvement were designated as "responders" while the remainder were labelled "maintainers". Support vector machine, naïve Bayes, and random forest binary classifiers were developed to distinguish patients using sensor-derived features. Accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver-operator curve (AUC) were compared between models using ten-fold out-of-sample testing. A high performance using only sensor-derived functional metrics was obtained with a random forest model (accuracy = 0.76 ± 0.11, sensitivity = 0.87 ± 0.08, specificity = 0.57 ± 0.26, AUC = 0.80 ± 0.14) but highly sensitive models were observed using naïve Bayes and SVM models after including patient age, sex, and BMI into the feature set (accuracy = 0.72, 0.73 ± 0.09, 0.12; sensitivity = 0.94, 0.95 ± 0.11, 0.11; specificity = 0.35, 0.37 ± 0.20, 0.18; AUC = 0.80, 0.74 ± 0.07, 0.11; respectfully). Including select patient-reported subjective measures increased the top random forest performance slightly (accuracy = 0.80 ± 0.10, sensitivity = 0.91 ± 0.14, specificity = 0.62 ± 0.23, AUC = 0.86 ± 0.09). The current work has demonstrated that prediction models developed from preoperative sensor-derived functional metrics can reliably predict expected functional recovery following surgery and this can be used by clinicians to help set realistic patient expectations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify 24-hour activity-sleep profiles in adults with arthritis and explore factors associated with profile membership. METHODS Our study comprised a cross-sectional cohort and used baseline data from 2 randomized trials studying activity counseling for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), or knee osteoarthritis (OA). Participants wore activity monitors for 1 week and completed surveys for demographic information, mood (Patient Health Questionnaire 9), and sitting and walking habits (Self-Reported Habit Index). A total of 1,440 minutes/day were stratified into minutes off body (activity unknown), sleeping, resting, nonambulatory, and intermittent or purposeful ambulation. Latent class analysis determined cluster numbers; baseline-category multinomial logit regression identified factors associated with cluster membership. RESULTS Our cohort included 172 individuals, including 51% with RA, 30% with OA, and 19% with SLE. We identified 4 activity-sleep profiles (clusters) that were characterized primarily by differences in time in nonambulatory activity: high sitters (6.9 hours sleep, 1.6 hours rest, 13.2 hours nonambulatory activity, and 1.6 hours intermittent and 0.3 hours purposeful walking), low sleepers (6.5 hours sleep, 1.2 hours rest, 12.2 hours nonambulatory activity, and 3.3 hours intermittent and 0.6 hours purposeful walking), high sleepers (8.4 hours sleep, 1.9 hours rest, 10.4 hours nonambulatory activity, and 2.5 hours intermittent and 0.3 hours purposeful walking), and balanced activity (7.4 hours sleep, 1.5 hours sleep, 9.4 hours nonambulatory activity, and 4.4 hours intermittent and 0.8 hours purposeful walking). Younger age (odds ratio [OR] 0.95 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.91-0.99]), weaker occupational sitting habit (OR 0.55 [95% CI 0.41-0.76]), and stronger walking outside habit (OR 1.43 [95% CI 1.06-1.91]) were each associated with balanced activity relative to high sitters. CONCLUSION Meaningful subgroups were identified based on 24-hour activity-sleep patterns. Tailoring interventions based on 24-hour activity-sleep profiles may be indicated, particularly in adults with stronger habitual sitting or weaker walking behaviors.

Guidance for implementing best practice therapeutic exercise for people with knee and hip osteoarthritis: what does the current evidence base tell us? Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2020; 73:1746-1753. [PMID: 32860729 DOI: 10.1002/acr.24434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/30/2020] [Accepted: 08/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Therapeutic exercise is a recommended first-line treatment for people with knee and hip osteoarthritis. However, there is little specific advice or practical resources to guide clinicians in its implementation. As the first in a series of projects by the Osteoarthritis Research Society International Rehabilitation Discussion Group to address this gap, we aim to synthesize current literature informing the implementation of therapeutic exercise for people with knee and hip osteoarthritis. METHODS Narrative review focusing on evidence from systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials. RESULTS Therapeutic exercise is safe for people with knee and hip osteoarthritis. Numerous types of therapeutic exercise (including aerobic, strengthening, neuromuscular, mind-body exercise) may be utilised at varying doses and in different settings to improve pain and function. Benefits from therapeutic exercise appear greater when dosage recommendations from general exercise guidelines for healthy adults are met. However, interim therapeutic exercise goals may also be useful, given that many barriers to achieving these dosages exist among this patient group. Theoretically-informed strategies to improve adherence to therapeutic exercise, such as patient education, goal setting, monitoring and feedback, may help maintain participation and optimise clinical benefits over the longer-term. Sedentary behaviour is also a risk factor for disability and lower quality of life in people with knee and hip osteoarthritis, although limited evidence exists regarding how best to reduce this behaviour. CONCLUSION Current evidence can be used to inform how to implement best practice therapeutic exercise, at a sufficient and appropriate dose, for people with knee and hip osteoarthritis.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis is the most common articular disease that can lead to chronic pain and severe disability. Curcumin-an effective ingredient in turmeric with anti inflammatory property-plays an important role in protecting the joints against destructive factors. Gingerols and piperine, are the effective ingredients of ginger and black pepper, which may potentially enhance and sustain the effect of curcumin in this direction. To determine the effect of cosupplementation with turmeric extract, black pepper, and ginger on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2 ) in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis, compared with Naproxen. Sixty patients with two different levels of knee osteoarthritis (Grade 2 and 3) were studied. Individuals were randomly assigned to receive daily turmeric extract, ginger, and black pepper together or Naproxen capsule for 4 weeks. PGE2 was evaluated by ELISA method. 24-hr recall was also assessed. All of participants completed the study. PGE2 decreased significantly in both groups (p < .001), but there was no significant differences between groups. The results of this study indicated that intake of the selected herbs twice a day for 4 weeks may improve the PGE2 levels in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis similar to Naproxen drug.

Abstract
Studies of the effectiveness of orthopaedic interventions do not generally measure physical activity (PA). Applying accelerometer-based activity monitoring in orthopaedic studies will add relevant information to the generally examined physical function and pain assessment.Accelerometer-based activity monitoring is practically feasible in orthopaedic patient populations, since current day activity sensors have battery time and memory to measure continuously for several weeks without requiring technical expertise.The ongoing development in sensor technology has made it possible to combine functional tests with activity monitoring.For clinicians, the application of accelerometer-based activity monitoring can provide a measure of PA and can be used for clinical comparisons before and after interventions.In orthopaedic rehabilitation, accelerometer-based activity monitoring may be used to help patients reach their targets for PA and to coach patients towards a more active lifestyle through direct feedback.

Abstract
Hip-related pain can significantly impact quality of life, function, work capacity, physical activity and family life. Standardised measurement methods of physical capacity of relevance to young and middle-aged active adults with hip-related pain are currently not established. The aim of this consensus paper was to provide recommendations for clinical practice and research on standardised measurement methods of physical capacity in young and middle-aged active adults with hip-related pain. Four areas of importance were identified: (1) clinical measures (range of motion, muscle strength, functional impairments), (2) laboratory-based measures (biomechanics and muscle function (muscle activity, size and adiposity)), (3) physical activity, and (4) return to sport/performance. The literature was reviewed, and a summary circulated to the working group to inform discussion at the consensus meeting. The working group developed clinical and research recommendations from the literature review, which were further discussed and modified within the working group at the consensus meeting. These recommendations were then presented to all 38 International Hip-related Pain Research Network (IHiPRN) participants for further discussion, refinement and consensus voting. Therefore, the recommendations voted on were based on a combination of current evidence and expert opinion. The consensus meeting voted on 13 recommendations, six of which were clinically orientated, and seven more research specific. We recommended that clinicians working with young and middle-aged active adults with hip-related pain assess strength using objective methods of measurement, and clinically assess performance of functional tasks, including walking and running. Physical activity should be quantified using both self-reported and objective measures, and patient expectations of recovery should be quantified prior to treatment. It was recommended that return to physical activity (including sport and occupation) be quantified, and sport-specific activities should be assessed prior to return to sport. The IHiPRN participants were uncertain regarding recommendations for range of motion assessment. Research recommendations were that the measurement properties of range of motion, strength and functional performance tests be investigated, reported and improved in both clinical and research settings. Reporting of movement-related parameters (biomechanics and muscle function) should be standardised and the relationship among movement-related parameters, symptoms, function, quality of life, and intra-articular and imaging findings should be investigated. Quantification of return to physical activity (including sport and occupational demands) is required in future research, and the return to sport continuum should be used. Future research is required to determine the best criteria for rehabilitation progression and return to physical activity following hip-related pain management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare and contrast the perspectives of patients with arthritis and those of rehabilitation professionals regarding starting and sustaining use of physical activity trackers (PATs). METHODS We conducted focus group sessions with patients, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists in Ontario, Alberta, or British Columbia, Canada. To be eligible, patients must have self-reported a diagnosis of inflammatory or osteoarthritis. Rehabilitation professionals reported that at least 40% of their caseload was dedicated to arthritis care. Participants had any level of experience with PATs. A thematic analytic approach was used. RESULTS The following 3 themes were identified: 1) anticipating sharing objective measures of physical activity. Participants agreed that use of PATs had the potential to improve consultations between patients with arthritis and rehabilitation professionals but were uncertain how to achieve this potential; 2) perceived or experienced barriers to start or continue using a PAT. Participants shared doubts about whether existing PATs would meet specific needs of patients with arthritis and expressed concerns about possible negative impacts; and 3) bolstering motivation? Although there was agreement that use of PATs could bolster the motivation of patients who were already active, patients and rehabilitation professionals had different opinions regarding whether use of PATs alone would motivate patients to start increasing activity levels. CONCLUSION Our study highlights similarities and differences between the perspectives of patients and rehabilitation professionals regarding the potential value and risks of integrating PATs into arthritis self-management. Despite agreement about the potential of PATs, participants were uncertain how to effectively incorporate these tools to enhance patient-clinician consultations and had differing views about whether use of PATs would support a patient's motivation to be active.

Abstract
This retrospective study investigated the effect and safety of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) for treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).In this retrospective study, 105 patients with KOA were included. Of those, 60 patients underwent ESWT, whereas 45 patients received laser therapy. Effect was measured by the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). In addition, adverse events (AEs) were also recorded in this study. All outcome measurements were evaluated at the end of weeks 1, 6, and 12.Compared with the laser therapy, ESWT showed greater effect in KOA symptoms relief with regard to NRS, WOMAC total, and its subscores at week 6 (P < .05) and week 12 (P < .01) after treatment. No AE, however, occurred in both groups.The results of this retrospective study found that ESWT may be efficacious and safe for the treatment of patients with KOA. It, however, had an intrinsic limitation as a retrospective study. Prospective study with larger sample size is still needed to warrant the result of this study in the future.
