Dinsdale A, Thomas L, Forbes R, Treleaven J. Factors associated with patient-reported mouth opening activity limitations in individuals with persistent intra-articular temporomandibular disorders: A cross-sectional study exploring physical and self-reported outcomes. Musculoskelet Sci Pract 2024; 73:103166. [PMID: 39167861 DOI: 10.1016/j.msksp.2024.103166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Individuals living with intra-articular temporomandibular disorders (IA-TMDs) often report limitations with mouth opening activities. While clinical measures such as active range of motion (AROM) and movement quality are often used to assess mouth opening function, it is unclear if and how these relate to patient-reported limitations and whether other factors such as kinesiophobia influence mouth opening activities in those with IA-TMDs. OBJECTIVES Compare clinical measures of mouth opening function in those with IA-TMDs to asymptomatic controls. In those with an IA/TMD, explore relationships between patient-reported mouth opening limitations, and mouth opening function and kinesiophobia. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHOD Clinical mouth opening function (AROM, movement quality, pain on movement/10, stiffness on movement/10) was compared between groups (n = 30 IA-TMD, n = 30 controls). Within the IA-TMD group, correlations between patient-reported mouth opening limitations (Patient specific functional scale), kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia for Temporomandibular Disorders) and clinical measures of mouth opening function were explored. RESULTS Impairments in AROM (-4 mm, p = 0.04, d = 0.5), movement quality (p < 0.01, φ = 0.6), pain on movement (p < 0.01, d = 0.8) and stiffness on movement (p < 0.01, d = 1.6) were observed in the IA-TMD group compared to controls. Patient-reported mouth opening limitations and kinesiophobia were significantly correlated (r = -0.48, p < 0.01); no correlation was found between patient-reported limitations and clinical mouth opening measures (r < 0.3, p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Mouth opening function is impaired in IA-TMD. However, kinesiophobia appears more related to patient-reported mouth opening limitations than clinical impairments. Consideration of clinical, kinesiophobia and patient-reported limitation measures are necessary to direct management of IA-TMD in those presenting for care.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study. OBJECTIVES Examine the longitudinal association between mobility and level of physical activity (PA) and explore which other factors are also associated with level of PA in ambulatory people with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) during the first-year post-inpatient rehabilitation. SETTING Three SCI-specialized rehabilitation centers and the Dutch community. METHODS Forty-seven adults with recent SCI and ambulatory function were included. All had motor incomplete lesions, 49% had tetraplegia, and the mean age was 55 ± 13 years. Duration of accelerometry-based all-day PA and self-reported level of mobility, exertion of walking, pain, fatigue, depressive mood symptoms, fear of falling, exercise self-efficacy, and attitude toward PA were measured just before discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and 6 and 12 months after discharge. All data were longitudinally analyzed using generalized estimating equations analyses. Models were corrected for age, lesion level, and time since injury. RESULTS Mobility was longitudinally associated with level of PA (beta: 4.5, P < 0.001, R2: 41%). In addition, lower levels of exertion of walking (beta: -5.6, P < 0.001), fear of falling (beta: -34.1, P < 0.001), and higher levels of exercise self-efficacy (beta: 2.3, P = 0.038) were associated with higher levels of PA. Exertion of walking and fear of falling were associated with level of PA independent of mobility. CONCLUSIONS Mobility, exertion of walking, fear of falling, and exercise self-efficacy seem to be correlates of level of PA in ambulatory people with SCI during the first year after inpatient rehabilitation. Targeting these factors using an interdisciplinary approach may enhance levels of PA in this population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of concurrent physical and cognitive demands as well as age on indicators of muscle fatigue at the wrist. BACKGROUND There are few studies examining risk indicators for musculoskeletal disorders associated with work-related physical and cognitive demands that often occur simultaneously in the workplace. METHODS Twenty-four gender-balanced older and 24 gender-balanced younger (mean age 60 and 23 years) participants performed four 30 min dual tasks. Tasks differed by the muscular load level during force tracking: 5% and 10% of maximum voluntary contraction force (MVC) and concurrent cognitive demands on the working memory: easy and difficult. Muscle fatigue was assessed by MVC decline and changes in surface electromyography (increased root mean square: RMS, decreased median frequency: MF) at the extensor digitorum (ED) and extensor carpi ulnaris (EU). RESULTS A decline in MVC was found in all participants when tracking was performed at 10% MVC (mean ± SD: 137.9 ± 49.2 - 123.0 ± 45.3 N). Irrespective of age, muscular, or cognitive load, RMS increased (ED 12.3 ± 6.5 - 14.1 ± 7.0% MVE, EU 15.4 ± 7.6 - 16.9 ± 8.6% MVE) and MF decreased (ED 85.4 ± 13.6 - 83.2 ± 12.8 Hz, EU 107.2 ± 17.1 - 104.3 ± 16.7 Hz) in both muscles. However, changes in MF of EU tended to be more pronounced in the older group at higher cognitive and lower muscular load, without reaching statistical significance. CONCLUSION Maximum voluntary contraction indicated no interaction between muscle fatigue, cognitive load, or age. However, the tendencies toward altered muscle activity due to an increase in cognitive load and older age suggest muscular adaptations while maintaining tracking performance during the onset of fatigue signs in the sEMG signal. APPLICATION If the tendencies in muscle activity are confirmed by further studies, ergonomic assessments in industrial workplaces should consider cognitive load and age when describing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Abstract
Background A patient-reported outcome (PRO) tool which reflects the outcomes of patients underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are important to be “ceiling effect free” which commonly used PRO tools face. Forgotten joint score-12 (FJS-12) has been proved to reduce or even free from ceiling effect. FJS-12 has been translated to different languages. The objectives of this study are to validate FJS-12 in Traditional Chinese-Hong Kong language and look for the goodness of FJS-12 still exist in this language adapted FJS-12 version. Methods FJS-12 was administered to 75 patients whose majority was obese underwent TKA between September 2019 and March 2020. Patients completed 3 sets of questionnaires (FJS-12, Oxford Knee Score (OKS), and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)) twice, 2 weeks apart. Reliability, internal consistency, responsiveness, test–retest agreement and discriminant validity were evaluated. Results Reliability of FJS-12 showed moderate to excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.870). Test–retest reliability of FJS-12 was good (ICC = 0.769). Bland–Altman plot showed good test–retest agreement. Construct validity in terms of correlations between FJS-12 and OKS, and FJS-12 and NRS were moderate at baseline (Pearson’s coefficient r = 0.598) and good at follow-up (r = 0.879). Smallest detectable change (Responsiveness) was higher than MIC. Floor effect was none observed, and ceiling effect was low. Discriminant validity was found to have no significance. BMI (obesity) did not affect FJS-12 outcomes. Conclusions The Traditional Chinese-Hong Kong version of FJS-12 showed good test–retest reliability, validity, responsiveness, BMI non-specific, with no floor and low ceiling effects for patients who underwent TKA. Sub-culture differences in individual PRO tools should be considered in certain ethnicities and languages.

SPORTS MEDICINE - OPEN 2022; 8:2. [PMID: 35000021 PMCID: PMC8742800 DOI: 10.1186/s40798-021-00386-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Accepted: 11/21/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Background The validity of ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) during aerobic training is well established; however, its validity during resistance exercise is less clear. This meta-analysis used the known relationships between RPE and exercise intensity (EI), heart rate (HR), blood lactate (BLa), blood pressure (BP) and electromyography (EMG) to determine the convergent validity of RPE as a measure of resistance exercise intensity and physiological exertion, during different forms of resistance exercise. Additionally, this study aims to assess the effect of several moderator variables on the strength of the validity coefficients, so that clearer guidance can be given on the use of RPE during resistance exercise. Methods An online search of 4 databases and websites (PubMed, Web of Science SPORTDiscus and ResearchGate) was conducted up to 28 February 2020. Additionally, the reference lists of the included articles were inspected manually for further unidentified studies. The inclusion criteria were healthy participants of any age, a rating scale used to measure RPE, resistance exercise of any type, one cohort receiving no other intervention, and must present data from one of the following outcome measures: EI, HR, BP, EMG or BLa. Weighted mean effect sizes (r) were calculated using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was assessed using the τ2 and I2 statistics. Moderator analysis was conducted using random-effects meta-regression. Results One-hundred and eighteen studies were included in the qualitative synthesis, with 75 studies (99 unique cohorts) included in the meta-analysis. The overall weighted mean validity coefficient was large (0.88; 95% CI 0.84–0.91) and between studies heterogeneity was very large (τ2 = 0.526, I2 = 96.1%). Studies using greater workload ranges, isometric muscle actions, and those that manipulated workload or repetition time, showed the highest validity coefficients. Conversely, sex, age, training status, RPE scale used, and outcome measure no significant effect. Conclusions RPE provides a valid measure of exercise intensity and physiological exertion during resistance exercise, with effect sizes comparable to or greater than those shown during aerobic exercise. Therefore, RPE may provide an easily accessible means of prescribing and monitoring resistance exercise training. Trial Registration The systematic review protocol was registered on the PROSPERO database (CRD42018102640).

Abstract
It is useful to investigate various physiological responses induced by fatigue in athletes. Moreover, wearable noninvasive sensors, including sweat sensors, are compatible with fatigue evaluation because of their ease of use, and ability to measure repeatedly and continual data. This cross-sectional study aimed to clarify how sweat lactate elimination curves obtained during constant workload exercise changed following fatigue. Seventeen recreationally trained males (average age, 20.6 ± 0.8 years) completed two consecutive constant workload exercise tests (at 25% peak power) with rest intervals; the participants were encouraged to perform Test 1 until exhaustion and Test 2 only for 10 min. Subjective fatigue (numerical rating scale with face rating scale), sweat lactate, and sweat rate were measured for 10 min in each test. Subjective fatigue was compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and time to each constant value between Tests 1 and 2 was compared using paired t-test. Subjective fatigue significantly increased during Test 2 compared with that during Test 1. After Test 1, the sweat lactate elimination curve demonstrated a leftward shift, as proved by the significantly sooner observation of the peak and constant values of sweat lactate (2, 3, and 4 μA) (p < 0.01). Our preliminary results suggest that the sweat lactate elimination curve is different in the fatigue state. Further research may provide insight in the application of this curve to the evaluation for fatigue.

Abstract
Losses usually have greater subjective value (SV) than gains of equal nominal value but often cause a relative deterioration in effortful performance. Since losses and gains induce differing approach/avoidance behavioral tendencies, we explored whether incentive type interacted with approach/avoidance motor-sets. Alpha- and beta-band event-related desynchronization (ERD) was hypothesized to be weakest when participants expected a loss and prepared an inhibitory motor-set, and strongest when participants expected a gain and prepared an active motor-set. It was also hypothesized that effort would modulate reward and motor-set-related cortical activation patterns. Participants completed a cued Go/NoGo task while expecting a reward (+10p), avoiding a loss (-10p), or receiving no incentive (0p); and while expecting a NoGo cue with a probability of either .75 or .25. Pre-movement alpha- and beta-band EEG power was analyzed using the ERD method, and the SV of effort was evaluated using a cognitive effort discounting task. Gains incentivized faster RTs and stronger preparatory alpha band ERD compared to loss and no incentive conditions, while inhibitory motor-sets resulted in significantly weaker alpha-band ERD. However, there was no interaction between incentive and motor-sets. Participants were more willing to expend effort in losses compared to gain trials, although the SV of effort was not associated with ERD patterns or RTs. Results suggest that incentive and approach/avoidance motor tendencies modulate cortical activations prior to a speeded RT movement independently, and are not associated with the economic value of effort. The present results favor attentional explanations of the effect of incentive modality on effort.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the goal-setting process carried out at a rehabilitation facility providing adapted physical activity, by 1) identifying goals set by individuals with chronic disabilities, 2) comparing these goals to the negotiated goals set in collaboration with the rehabilitation team and 3) assessing goal achievement and its association with self-reported functioning after 12 months. METHODS A prospective observational study where adults (18-67 years) admitted to Beitostølen Healthsports Centre (n=151) reported mental and physical functioning measured by the Medical Outcomes Study 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) administered at baseline (eight weeks before rehabilitation), admission, discharge and follow-up 12 months after rehabilitation. The participants provided their individual goals for rehabilitation in the admission questionnaire. Individual goals were compared to negotiated goals set by the participants and the rehabilitation team together as part of the goal-setting process at the facility. The goals were linked to The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) for comparison. Goal achievement was assessed on a 10-point numeric rating scale (NRS) in the discharge questionnaire. The association between SF-12 physical and mental functioning at long-term follow-up and goal achievement was explored. RESULTS The 293 individual goals and the 407 negotiated goals were most frequently linked to the ICF-component Body Functions. When comparing negotiated to individual goals, negotiated goals were more frequently linked to activities and participation. Goals to wide to be linked to the ICF were less frequent. For 76% of the participants, content of individual goals was captured in negotiated goals. Goal achievement with NRS scores ≥9 points was reported by 66% of the included participants. Goal achievement was a significant predictor for long-term mental functioning (p=0.04). CONCLUSION Collaboration between participants and health professionals resulted in more specific goals directed towards the activities and participation component. Goal achievement predicted long-term mental functioning following rehabilitation.

Abstract
PURPOSE Following a shortening or lengthening muscle contraction, torque produced in the isometric steady state is lower (residual torque depression; rTD) or higher (residual torque enhancement; rTE), respectively, compared to a purely isometric contraction at the same final muscle length and level of activation. This is referred to as the history dependence of force. When matching a given torque level, there is greater muscle activation (electromyography; EMG) following shortening and less activation following lengthening. Owing to these differences in neuromuscular activation, it is unclear whether perception of effort is altered by the history dependence of force during plantar-flexion. METHODS Experiment 1 tested whether perception of effort differed between the rTD and rTE state when torque was matched. Experiment 2 tested whether perception of effort differed between the rTD and rTE state when EMG was matched. Finally, experiment 3 tested whether EMG differed between the rTD and rTE state when perception of effort was matched. RESULTS When torque was matched, both EMG and perception of effort were higher in the rTD compared to rTE state. When EMG was matched, torque was lower in the rTD compared to rTE state while perception of effort did not differ between the two states. When perception of effort was matched, torque was lower in the rTD compared to rTE state and EMG did not differ between the two states. CONCLUSION The combined results from these experiments indicate that the history dependence of force alters one's perception of effort, dependent on the level of motor command.

Abstract
Rating of perceived effort (RPE) scales are the most frequently used single-item scales in exercise science. They offer an easy and useful way to monitor and prescribe exercise intensity. However, RPE scales suffer from methodological limitations stemming from multiple perceived effort definitions and measurement strategies. In the present review, we attend these issues by covering (1) two popular perceived effort definitions, (2) the terms included within these definitions and the reasons they can impede validity, (3) the problems associated with using different effort scales and instructions, and (4) measuring perceived effort from specific body parts and the body as a whole. We pose that the large number of interactions between definitions, scales, instructions and applications strategies, threatens measurement validity of RPE. We suggest two strategies to overcome these limitations: (1) to reinforce consistency by narrowing the number of definitions of perceived effort, the number of terms included within them, and the number of scales and instructions used. (2) Rather than measuring solely RPE as commonly done, exercise sciences will benefit from incorporating other single-item scales that measure affect, fatigue and discomfort, among others. By following these two recommendations, we expect the field will increase measurement validity and become more comprehensive.

Influence of preceding muscle activity on movement-related cortical potential during superimposed ballistic contraction. Neurosci Lett 2020; 735:135193. [PMID: 32565221 DOI: 10.1016/j.neulet.2020.135193] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of current study was to clarify the influence of preceding muscle activity on the force production and movement-related cortical potential (MRCP) during superimposed ballistic contractions. The participants performed the ballistic force production at 40 % of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) using the isometric abduction force of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the index finger. They were asked to match the peak of force curve with a horizontal target line displayed on the computer monitor. We compared the MRCP amplitude during force exertion detected from Fz, C4, C3, Cz and Pz electrodes during ballistic force production with (active condition) and without (resting condition) preceding muscle activity. The results showed that the MRCP amplitudes of Fz, C4, C3 and Cz electrodes were significantly smaller for the active condition than the resting condition. This was the case even though the peak force values during both conditions were identical. This result suggests that the facilitation of spinal motoneuron excitability by preceding muscle activity could reduce the required central motor command to produce the identical force level. In addition, we examined the MRCP amplitude during ballistic force production of the active condition without a visually displayed target. In this condition, the participants had to perform the force production based on aiming point of target force level (40 %MVC). As a result, the mean of peak force without a visual target was 54 %MVC, which overshot the aiming force level. However, the MRCP amplitudes of five electrodes during the 54 %MVC force production in the active condition were equivalent to the case of the 40 %MVC force production in the resting condition. These results suggest that the MRCP amplitude is consistent with participants' sense of effort involved in the force production, rather than the actual produced force level.

Abstract
Purpose: To cross-cultural translate the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT) to Taiwan-Chinese version (CAIT-TW), and to evaluate the validity, reliability and cutoff score of CAIT-TW for Taiwan-Chinese athletic population.Materials and methods: The English version of CAIT was translated to CAIT-TW based on a guideline of cross-cultural adaptation. 77 and 58 Taiwanese collegial athletes with and without chronic ankle instability filled out CAIT-TW, Taiwan-Chinese version of Lower Extremity Functional Score (LEFS-TW) and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). The construct validity, test-retest reliability, internal consistency and cutoff score of CAIT-TW were evaluated.Results: In construct validity, the Spearman's correlation coefficients were moderate (CAIT-TW vs LEFS-TW: Rho = 0.39, p < 0.001) and strong (CAIT-TW vs NRS: Rho= 0.76, p < 0.001). The test retest reliability was excellent (ICC2.1 = 0.91, 95% confidential interval = 0.87-0.94, p < 0.001) with a good internal consistency (Cronbach's α: 0.87). Receiver operating characteristic curve showed a cutoff score of 21.5 (Youden index: 0.73, sensitivity: 0.87, specificity 0.85).Conclusions: The CAIT-TW is a valid and reliable tool to differentiate between stable and instable ankles in athletes and may further apply for research or daily practice in Taiwan.Implications for rehabilitationFor athletes, chronic ankle instability is prevalent and causes negative sequela, such as lowered quality of daily life, affected functional performance, and may cause post traumatic osteoarthritis.The psychometric properties of the Taiwan-Chinese version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool showed moderate to strong construct validity, excellent test retest reliability, a good internal consistency and a cutoff score of 21.5.The validity and reliability of the Taiwan-Chinese version of the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool are to enable clinicians to evaluate and manage ankle instability in Taiwanese who speaks Mandarin Chinese.

Abstract
Successful management of problems related to the hands and upper extremities begins with a comprehensive assessment of the pain experience and related factors. Pain intensity is the domain most commonly assessed, and pain relief is often the primary goal of treatment. Because pain is a private and subjective experience, self-report is considered the gold standard of pain measurement. This article describes and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the most commonly used self-report scales used to measure hand pain intensity, and gives recommendations to help clinicians select from among the various options for measuring the intensity of hand pain.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Handgrip strength is essential in manual operations and activities of daily life, but the influence of forearm/hand skin temperature on estimation of handgrip strength is not well documented. Therefore, the present study intended to investigate the effect of local cooling of the forearm/hand on estimation of handgrip strength at various target force levels (TFLs, in percentage of MVC) for both genders. A cold pressor test was used to lower and maintain the hand skin temperature at 14°C for comparison with the uncooled condition. A total of 10 male and 10 female participants were recruited. The results indicated that females had greater absolute estimation deviations. In addition, both genders had greater absolute deviations in the middle range of TFLs. Cooling caused an underestimation of grip strength. Furthermore, a power function is recommended for establishing the relationship between actual and estimated handgrip force. Statement of relevance: Manipulation with grip strength is essential in daily life and the workplace, so it is important to understand the influence of lowering the forearm/hand skin temperature on grip-strength estimation. Females and the middle range of TFL had greater deviations. Cooling the forearm/hand tended to cause underestimation, and a power function is recommended for establishing the relationship between actual and estimated handgrip force. Practitioner Summary: It is important to understand the effect of lowering the forearm/hand skin temperature on grip-strength estimation. A cold pressor was used to cool the hand. The cooling caused underestimation, and a power function is recommended for establishing the relationship between actual and estimated handgrip force.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate if pelvic or hip width predisposed women to developing greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). Design Prospective case control study. Participants Four groups were included in the study: those gluteal tendon reconstructions (n=31, GTR), those with conservatively managed GTPS (n=29), those with hip osteoarthritis (n=20, OA) and 22 asymptomatic participants (ASC). Methods Anterior-posterior pelvic x-rays were evaluated for femoral neck shaft angle; acetabular index, and width at the lateral acetabulum, and the superior and lateral aspects of the greater trochanter. Body mass index, and waist, hip and greater trochanter girth were measured. Data were analysed using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA; posthoc Scheffe analysis), then multivariate analysis. Results The GTR group had a lower femoral neck shaft angle than the other groups (p=0.007). The OR (95% CI) of having a neck shaft angle of less than 134°, relative to the ASC group: GTR=3.33 (1.26 to 8.85); GTPS=1.4 (0.52 to 3.75); OA=0.85 (0.28 to 2.61). The OR of GTR relative to GTPS was 2.4 (1.01 to 5.6). No group difference was found for acetabular or greater trochanter width. Greater trochanter girth produced the only anthropometric group difference (mean (95% CI) in cm) GTR=103.8 (100.3 to 107.3), GTPS=105.9 (100.2 to 111.6), OA=100.3 (97.7 to 103.9), ASC=99.1 (94.7 to 103.5), (ANOVA: p=0.036). Multivariate analysis confirmed adiposity is associated with GTPS. Conclusion A lower neck shaft angle is a risk factor for, and adiposity is associated with, GTPS in women.
