Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with Dupuytren disease experience various activity limitations. Treatment aims to reduce finger joint contractures to improve hand function and activity performance. For assessing improvement different patient-centered measures have been used. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was developed as an interview-based outcome measure to detect changes over time in patients' perception of their performance and satisfaction in self-identified activity issues. The 11-item disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (QuickDASH) scale consists of fixed items that ask patients to rate the difficulty in performing specific daily activities. Few studies have compared the responsiveness of these two types of patient-reported measures in Dupuytren disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS We included 30 patients with Dupuytren disease enrolled in a prospective cohort study of collagenase injection. We used the COPM (score range 1-10), the QuickDASH (score range 0-100) and measurement of finger joint contracture before and 5 weeks after treatment. RESULTS Using the COPM the patients identified 107 activity problems (55 in self-care, 19 in productivity and 33 in leisure). The two most common activity problems were to wash self (21 patients) and to don gloves (19 patients). A clinically important improvement with 3 points or greater from baseline to 5 weeks was seen for performance in 77 activities (72%). The median COPM performance score improved from 4.4 at baseline to 9.0 at 5 weeks and the median QuickDASH score improved from 13.6 to 2.5. Responsiveness (Cohen's d) for the COPM performance was 2.6 (95% CI 1.9-3.3) and for the QuickDASH 0.6 (95% CI 0.1-1.1). CONCLUSION The COPM had about 6-fold larger responsiveness than the QuickDASH, which supports use of an individualized measure when assessing treatment effects in Dupuytren disease.

Abstract
Introduction Using meaningful activities as a treatment modality is characteristic of occupation-based intervention (OBI). The benefits of OBI have been described, but not the effectiveness thereof. The aim of this review was to assess the effectiveness of OBI in relation to the type, commencement, duration and outcomes as reported in literature. Methods A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted, including EBSCOHost, PubMed, Cochrane Register for Controlled Trials, Web of Science, OTSeeker, PEDro and Google Scholar. Search terms included 'occupation-based', 'occupation-centered', 'intervention', 'upper limb' and 'outcome measures'. Studies including OBI for neurological or paediatric cases were excluded. Results Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Using the PEDro scale, three of the studies, all randomised controlled trials (RCTs), were viewed as high quality, one of fair and one of poor quality. Due to the heterogeneity of the studies, a meta-analysis was not possible, and a narrative synthesis is presented. Five studies used interviewing together with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to determine the client's occupational profile when choosing meaningful activities. The commencement and duration of OBI varied amongst the studies, and a variety of outcome measures were used to determine the effectiveness of OBI. Discussion OBI used together with biomechanical approaches shows promising effectiveness. Outcome measures such as the COPM and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (DASH) that measure activity and participation, should be employed in client-centered practice. More robust scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of OBI is needed.

[PMID: 32307236 DOI: 10.1016/j.jht.2020.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2019] [Revised: 02/19/2020] [Accepted: 03/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patient-reported outcome measures have become the standard tool for reflecting the patient's perspective on their treatment outcome for a wide variety of hand conditions. The Patient-Specific Functional Scale (PSFS), is an individualized questionnaire that enables patients to specify those activities with which they have difficulty in daily life. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY This study aims to determine the content validity and responsiveness of the PSFS compared with the Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) in patients with Dupuytren's disease. STUDY DESIGN Multicentre inception cohort. METHODS Patients with Dupuytren's disease being treated with percutaneous needle aponeurotomy, limited fasciectomy, or skin graft were selected from a database with routine outcome measurements in usual care. To assess content validity of the PSFS, the activities specified by patients were classified into the International Classification of Function core set for hand conditions. The standardized response mean is calculated for the pre- and post-change scores of the PSFS to evaluate responsiveness. RESULTS Three hundred and eight patients were analyzed before and three months after treatment. Content validity of the PSFS was appropriate because 95% of all items could be classified into the International Classification of Function activities and participation domain. The standardized response mean of the PSFS was 1.0 (95% confidence interval, 0.86-1.2), which was substantially larger than the standardized response mean of the MHQ score 0.58 (95% confidence interval, 0.42-0.74). DISCUSSION The PSFS is a content-valid questionnaire which may be more responsive to change than a fixed-item instrument such as the MHQ in patients with Dupuytren's disease. CONCLUSIONS The PSFS is a valuable tool to set therapy goals and evaluate the progress over time in patients with Dupuytren's disease.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is widely used in clinical practice and research. However, the measurement properties of the COPM were not reviewed using rigorous systematic methodology. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the measurement properties of the COPM. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, OTseeker, and Cochrane Library. Study Selection and Data Collection: We used the updated COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) Risk of Bias checklist to evaluate the measurement properties of the COPM reported in relevant studies. FINDINGS Our search identified 35 articles that reported measurement properties for the COPM with samples that differed in age, country, diagnosis, and disease stage. For content validity, the evidence was inconsistent and of low quality; no studies assessed structural validity. For reliability, the internal consistency was indeterminate and of low quality. One study reported indeterminate and very low quality evidence for cross-cultural validity. According to the evidence reported in these studies, the COPM has inconsistent and moderate reliability, construct validity, and responsiveness and insufficient and high-quality evidence for criterion validity. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Our review of the evidence using the COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist indicates that the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure lacks high-quality validation. What This Article Adds: High-quality validation of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure is lacking. Further examination of its measurement properties using updated relevant guidelines is required.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN This is a prospective cohort pilot study. BACKGROUND Degenerative wrist arthritis leads to pain, loss of strength, mobility, function, and impairments in psychological well-being. Accurate assessment of functional limitations that are unique to the individual is essential for successful treatment that best meets those specific needs. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To identify and determine if self-identified functional limitations improve in patients who underwent surgery for degenerative wrist arthritis. METHODS Patients with degenerative wrist arthritis who were scheduled for surgery were prospectively recruited (n = 14, mean age + SD = 42 + 16, 10 males, 4 females) into a pilot study that measured self-identified functional limitations and outcomes. Inclusion criteria included a diagnosis of scapholunate advanced collapse, scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse, scapholunate interosseous ligament tear, or Kienböck disease. Exclusion criteria included a history of neuromuscular disease or concomitant ipsilateral musculoskeletal injury. Data were collected during two 20-minute sessions, preoperatively and one year postoperatively, utilizing the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. RESULTS All patients reported significant decreases (P < .001) in total pain (mean change = 17.6, SD = 8.5) and total disability (mean = 17.8, SD = 9.1) on the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation from presurgery to postsurgery, with a large effect size of d > 0.8. Patients also reported significant improvements (P < .001) in mean performance (mean = 3.5, SD = 1.5) and mean satisfaction (mean = 4.0, SD = 2.1) with self-identified activities on the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, with an effect size of d > 0.8. CONCLUSION Patients with degenerative wrist arthritis reported significant postoperative improvement in both performance and satisfaction in self-identified activities. Consideration of patient-specified goals can inform both patients and clinicians during the surgical decision-making process and allow for more individualized care.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN A nonblinded randomized controlled trial. INTRODUCTION Occupation-based interventions are superior to physical exercise-based interventions in patients with activity limitations. However, only a few studies have examined the effect in patients with hand-related disorders. Patients recover heterogeneously, which could be due to personal factors, such as sense of coherence (SOC). PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To investigate the effectiveness of an occupation-based intervention for patients with hand-related disorders and whether SOC can give an indication of the expected effects. METHODS A total of 504 patients were stratified into three SOC groups and then randomized to either an occupation-based intervention, including physical exercises (OBI) or a physical exercise-based occupation-focused intervention. The primary outcome, functioning, was measured using the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire. Primary endpoint was at three months. Patients were followed up for a year. RESULTS No significant difference was found in primary outcome analysis. Nevertheless, patients receiving OBI had a statistically significant and greater change in satisfaction with their occupational performance at one, two, and three months follow-up. Patients with a weak SOC had worse functioning and lower health-related quality of life than those in the other groups, at all times. CONCLUSIONS OBI as delivered in this study was not superior to physical exercise-based occupation-focused intervention in this patient group. However, in taking a client-centered approach, we recommend that OBI be based on individual needs, given that patients had a statistically greater change in score regarding satisfaction with their occupational performance. It is evident that patients with a weaker SOC have a lower level of functioning. This knowledge should inform clinical practice.

Abstract
The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a generic questionnaire based on a semi-structured interview. We aimed to translate a Turkish version of the COPM (COPM-TR) and assess its reliability and validity. The COPM-TR was administered to 82 participants (42.2 ± 11.6 years and 32.9% of the participants were male) with multiple sclerosis (MS) for convergent validity and reliability analysis. The COPM-TR was administered with the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life-54 (MSQoL-54), and Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) to determine its convergent validity. Test-retest reliability (a week interval) was assessed by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). There were moderately strong negative correlations between EDSS and performance and satisfaction score of COPM-TR. There were moderately strong positive correlations between MSQoL-54 physical and performance of COPM-TR and moderate positive correlations between MSQoL-54 physical and satisfaction of COPM-TR. Moderate positive correlations found between the MSQoL-54 mental and COPM-TR performance and satisfaction scores. Test re-test reliability of COPM-TR performance indicated excellent reliability. The current study demonstrates that the COPM-TR is a valid and reliable tool for measuring the perceived occupational performance and satisfaction of people with MS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional impairments related to Dupuytren's disease (DD) can be assessed using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). A systematic review was published in 2013 on outcome measures for assessing treatment in individuals with DD; however, several articles have since been published on this matter. PURPOSE To conduct a systematic review to analyze the quality and content of the evidence on the psychometric properties of PROMs used in individuals with DD. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review. METHODS CINAHL, EBM reviews, Embase, Medline, and Web of Science were searched to identify studies evaluating the psychometric properties of PROMs used with individuals with DD. All studies retained were appraised by two independent assessors using two validated critical appraisal tools. RESULTS Fifteen articles on the psychometric properties of 10 PROMs were included. Construct validity and responsiveness were the most studied. Eighty percent of the studies were of good to very good methodological quality according to MacDermid's Critical appraisal checklist for psychometric articles, whereas 67% of the studies comported risks of bias according to the COSMIN checklist. Of the 10 PROMs, three were specifically developed for DD but remain mostly under-studied for their psychometric properties (≤ 2 studies for the SDSS and DIF-CHUM). The QuickDASH, MHQ, BriefMHQ, and URAM present moderate to good convergent validity. Test-retest reliability was found to be good for the MHQ, briefMHQ, URAM, SDSS, SF-36, and the multi-attribute of the HUI-3. The MHQ and BriefMHQ are highly responsive. CONCLUSION There is a need for more psychometric studies on the PROMs used with individuals with DD. However, to date, the results included in this systematic review support that the MHQ and briefMHQ are the PROMs with the most acceptable psychometric properties.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the phenotypic characteristics of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) after stratification for Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) summary scores and to determine phenotypic characteristics of the SPPB summary score at the start of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR). DESIGN Retrospective, cross-sectional. SETTING Baseline assessment for PR program. PARTICIPANTS Patients with COPD (n=900; age 65±8y, 52% male, forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration, 43% [interquartile range, 31%-62%] predicted). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Patients were stratified according to their SPPB summary scores into low-performance (LP), moderate-performance (MP), or high-performance (HP) groups. Furthermore, lung function, arterial blood gases, body composition, physical capacity, lower limb muscle strength and endurance, and symptoms of anxiety and depression were assessed. RESULTS Generally, physical capacity and muscle function were lower and scores for symptoms of anxiety and depression were higher in LP patients than MP and HP patients (all values, P<.01). However, 25% of HP patients with COPD scored high on symptoms of anxiety and/or depression (≥10 points), and HP patients still had on average an impaired physical capacity (median, 6-minute walk test [6MWT] distance of 69% predicted). Furthermore, age and 6MWT distance (m) were the only independent predictors in a multivariate regression model, explaining 29% of the variance in SPPB summary score. CONCLUSIONS In COPD, LP patients have the worst physical and emotional functioning. However, HP patients can still exhibit physical and emotional impairments. Because the explained variance in SPPB summary score is low, SPPB should not be considered as a test to discriminate between patients with COPD with a low or preserved physical capacity and emotional status.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish the construct validity of the Danish version of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed in two settings, a regional hospital and a rehabilitation centre in a community. Including adult clients with a variety of diagnoses, we assessed construct validity by correlating the COPM to the Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA), the five-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5), and the EuroQol-five domain-five level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). Further examination of the comparability of the OSA and the COPM was performed in two ways. First, an interrater agreement of the theoretical correlation of the 21 OSA items and the three areas of the COPM was conducted. Secondly, we examined the compliance between the prioritized occupational performance issues (OPIs) and items of the OSA prioritized for change. RESULTS The study included a total sample of 112 participants with more than half of the participants (56%) recruited from the hospital. 109 participants had measurements for both COPM and OSA (44% males) with a mean age of 64.7 years (range 16-96 years). All correlations, between the COPM and the OSA, the WHO-5, and the EQ-5D-5L, were low or negligible (r < 0.50). Manual examination confirmed a difference in the constructs of the OSA and the COPM. This was demonstrated by a negligible interrater agreement between the items of the OSA and the areas of the COPM, and differences in the prioritized OPIs and OSA items, even if there were some resemblances, were found. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that the construct of the COPM provides data different to those obtained with the standardized measurements included for comparison. The present study supports the assumption that the COPM can detect unique OPIs that clients want to do, need to do, must do, or are not satisfied with the way they do.

Abstract
Introduction Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) has been proven to be a suitable measurement tool for assessing performance-based ADL ability; however, its reliability and validity have not been tested on patients with hand-related disorders. Methods Patients referred for outpatient hand rehabilitation were assessed with AMPS, The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), dynamometer and goniometer at baseline and after eight weeks of hand therapy. Construct validity and responsiveness of AMPS were assessed by hypothesis testing. Construct validity was assessed by correlating the baseline score of AMPS with the baseline score of the other measurement tools. Responsiveness was assessed by correlating the change scores of each measurement tool with a Global Rating Scale. Results Fifty-one patients were recruited. The construct validity of AMPS indicated that the various measurement tools captured different aspects to functioning from the AMPS, as the correlations between AMPS and the other measurement tools were generally weak to low (r < 0.25 to 0.49). AMPS was less responsive than COPM when correlated with the GRS. The correlation between COPM and GRS was r = 0.62 compared with the AMPS motor, r = 0.45 and AMPS process, r = 0.33. Relative responsiveness of AMPS is similar to that of the dynamometer (r = 0.39) and goniometer (r = –0.34). Discussion In a sample of 51 patients, this study found that the construct validity of AMPS seemed to be moderate, while the responsiveness of AMPS seemed to be poor. However, due to the small sample size no conclusions can be made, and should be further assessed in larger studies.

Abstract
This study investigates the outcomes of 1106 patients with Dupuytren's disease treated with limited fasciectomy or percutaneous needle fasciotomy over 16 years according to the different domains of patient-reported hand function. These patients completed the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire before and 3 months after surgery. Scores for the various outcome parameters were calculated and linear regression analyses were used to examine associations between the changes in digital extension deficit and change in Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (sub)scores. We found the largest effects of surgical treatment in the decreases in extension deficit, the appearance of the hand, and the satisfaction with the hand function. However, associations between different domains of evaluation were weak. We conclude that improvement of digital extension deficits is not parallel to varying aspects of patient satisfaction. The findings underline the importance of assessing domains relating to patient satisfaction other than objective hand function measures in Dupuytren's disease. Level of evidence: IV.

Abstract
Introduction Hand and upper limb transplants are becoming internationally recognised as an effective treatment to improve function and quality of life in carefully selected patients. A comprehensive functional assessment and rehabilitation programme are an essential component of the multi-disciplinary assessment and treatment approach. Although there is an increasing body of published data on the surgical techniques and outcomes following hand transplant, little exists in the literature to guide the hand therapist. Method The pre-transplant functional assessments and rehabilitation programme provided for patients undergoing hand transplantation in the UK are described and critically analysed. The UK programme is based on that provided in Lyon, France, but adapted to suit the resources and structure of the UK National Health Service. Results Twelve patients have received a functional assessment as part of the multi-disciplinary hand transplant assessment process, with the loss of autonomy a key reason for patients seeking hand transplant. Six of these patients have received hand transplants, with patients more than one year post-transplant having achieved good and fair outcomes according to the Hand Transplantation Score System. Conclusions Although hand and upper limb transplant surgery is innovative, the therapy provided is based on the fundamental principles of good communication, accurate assessment and delivery of a bespoke rehabilitation programme; values which are common to all areas of hand therapy practice. A future study reporting the long-term outcomes of patients following hand transplant in the UK is needed to allow the effectiveness of the programme to be evaluated.

Abstract
Background Dupuytren’s contracture (DC) is a fibrotic hand condition in which one or more fingers develop progressive flexion deformities. Quality of life is diminished due to disabling limitations in performing everyday activities. For DC patients treated with collagenase, referral for subsequent hand therapy is inconsistent. It is unknown whether subsequent hand therapy is beneficial compared to no therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine whether hand therapy improves DC patients’ performance of and satisfaction with performing everyday activities one year after collagenase treatment. Methods We will conduct a randomised controlled trial with two treatment groups (hand therapy vs. control) of DC patients who have received collagenase treatment. DC patients with contracted metacarpophalangeal joint(s) (MCPJ) (hand therapy, n = 40; control, n = 40) and those with proximal interphalangeal joint(s) (PIPJ) involvement (hand therapy, n = 40; control, n = 40) comprise two subgroups, and we will study if the treatment effect will be different between both groups (n = 160). Patients with a previous injury or treatment for DC in the treatment finger are excluded. Hand therapy includes oedema and scar management, splinting, movement exercises, and practice of everyday activities. The main outcome variable is patients’ performance of and satisfaction with performing everyday activities, as assessed with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Secondary outcomes are DC-specific activity problems, as assessed with the Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main scale, and active/passive flexion/extension of treated joints and grip force using standard measuring tools, and self-reported pain level. Demographic and clinical variables, degree of scarring, cold hypersensitivity, number of occupational sick-leave days are collected. Self-reported global impression of change will be used to assess patient satisfaction with change in hand function. Assessments are done pre-injection and 6 weeks, 4 months, and 1 year later. Standard univariate and multivariate statistical analyses will be used to evaluate group differences. Discussion This study aims to assess whether hand therapy is beneficial for activity-related, biomechanical, and clinical outcomes in DC patients after collagenase treatment. The results will provide an objective basis for determining whether hand therapy should be conducted after collagenase treatment. Trial registration This study has been registered at ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT03580213 (April 5, 2018).

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is intended to help clients identify and evaluate their occupational performance issues. As it enhances client-centred practice (CCP), more frequent use of the COPM might fulfill the political agenda of patient involvement in Denmark. However, in a study translating the COPM into Danish, challenges were found highlighting the need to study its clinical utility. AIM To examine the clinical utility of the Danish version of the COPM (COPM-DK) and help determine whether to recommend a more routinely use. METHODS Data gathered during qualitative interviews with 16 occupational therapists (OTs) from various settings were subjected to a qualitative content analysis. RESULTS The COPM-DK appeared to have clinical utility, especially regarding the meaning and relevance of the information obtained, and seemed to facilitate an occupational lens and CCP. The OTs' difficulties and concerns when using the COPM and their personal and environmental commitment to the COPM seemed associated with how they performed the COPM. Thus, training was recommended to facilitate a valid and reliable use. CONCLUSION Given the benefits and the perceived utility of the COPM-DK, a more routinely use, to place OTs and CCP in the center of Danish healthcare system, is recommended.Key MessagesThe utility of the Danish version of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure is supported, according to Danish occupational therapists in various rehabilitation settings and hospitals.Using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure seems to enhance a client-centred practice with collaborative goals and helps to establish partnership, being of value to the interdisciplinary team, too.The utility and acceptability of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure seemed to be linked to the occupational therapists' experience and understanding of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure's content and form, thus an introduction course is recommended to avoid a use that affects the assessment's validity and reliability.

Abstract
Study design Cross-sectional study. Objectives To examine the construct validity and the ability to detect change, of the Italian version of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) in a spinal cord injury (SCI) population. Settings Rehabilitation service of the Paraplegic Center of Ostia, Italy. Methods Thirty-nine spinal cord injury participants were recruited. The clinimetric properties of the measure were assessed following international guidelines. Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient were assessed for internal consistency and test-retest reliability, respectively. Construct validity was evaluated, by calculating correlation between COPM and the Spinal Cord Independence Measure (SCIM) through Pearson's correlation coefficient and Spearman's Rho. The ability to detect change was evaluated on the overall sample. Results The COPM was shown to be reliable in a spinal cord injury sample with positive and statistically significant results for Cronbach's alpha (0.89) and ICC (0.99 for the performance subtest and 0.98 for the satisfaction subtest). Correlation coefficients did not show a correlation between the COPM total score and the SCIM. The COPM scores improved significantly during in-patient rehabilitation, moreover the mean change between the start of treatment and the end of the therapy as evaluated with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was -4.25 points for the performance score and -2.96 points for the satisfaction score. Conclusions This study showed that the COPM is a reliable tool for assessing SCI clients' perceived performance of daily activities and their satisfaction with their performance.

Abstract
Purpose: The validity, responsiveness, and clinical utility of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was investigated when used in a sub-acute setting.Materials and Methods: Fifty older adults (mean age 78.2 years, Standard Deviation = 7.2; 64% female) completed the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, Functional Independence Measure and the Short-Form 36 Health Questionnaire. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was correlated with the Functional Independence Measure and Short-Form 36 Health Questionnaire and the admission and discharge Canadian Occupational Performance Measure Performance and Satisfaction scores were compared for significant differences. Qualitative interviews with were completed with six older adults and six occupational therapists to explore the utility of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure.Results: The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure Satisfaction scale was significantly associated with the Functional Independence Measure and Short-Form 36 Health Questionnaire. Significant differences were found between the admission and discharge Canadian Occupational Performance Measure Performance and Satisfaction scale scores. From both the clients' and therapists' perspectives, four key qualitative themes emerged: (1) "Likes" about the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure; (2) Effects on practice; (3) Utility; and (4) Future use.Conclusions: This study provides evidence of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure's validity, responsiveness and clinical utility when used in a sub-acute setting.Implications for rehabilitationThe Canadian Occupational Performance Measure appears able to effectively evaluate the outcomes of occupational therapy interventions, including in sub-acute rehabilitation settings. It is an individualized outcome measure where clients are responsible for measuring their own progress and meaningful outcomes from therapy.Evidence of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure's convergent validity, predictive validity and responsiveness to change was found which contributes to the body of knowledge of its psychometric properties.From a qualitative perspective, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was found to improve clinical decision making, facilitating client engagement, formulating clear treatment goals and making therapy more meaningful for clients.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Data of a prospective longitudinal cohort study including 233 Dupuytren's patients was used to determine: (1) whether the Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main scale and Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire can detect change in hand function due to Dupuytren's disease progression and to compare their abilities; (2) the concurrent validity, reliability, responsiveness and interpretability of the Dutch Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main. The Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main and Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire had comparable measurement properties, and were both able to distinguish participants with disease progression from those without progression (resp. U = 1252.5, p = 0.008, and U = 1086.0, p < 0.001), but only at a group level. Individual cases of progression could not be detected using these outcome measures, as indicated by the fact that the smallest detectable change was larger than the minimal important change, and area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) values of 0.75 for Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire and 0.67 for Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main.

Abstract
Introduction Several barriers challenge the use of occupation-based interventions in hand therapy. An outpatient clinical setting can be prepared in such a way as to address the most common occupational performance problems which might promote an occupation-based intervention. To this end, more knowledge is needed about which problems patients with hand-related disorders consider most important. Methods Interviews using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)were conducted with 507 patients. Data were entered into Microsoft Excel in the COPM categories: Self-care, productivity and leisure and analysed using descriptive statistics. Data concerning main problem areas were categorized according to the Taxonomic Code of Occupational Performance (TCOP). The analysis included the number of prioritized occupational performance problems (NPOPP) in each COPM category/subcategory; the NPOPP in each category is relative to gender and age and the most frequent problems. Results The total NPOPP was 2384. Problems within productivity and self-care constituted the largest proportion, respectively, 46% and 40%. Gender or age affected the NPOPP in each category to a limited extend. Problems were expressed at all levels in the TCOP, except the lowest level. The most frequently expressed problem was use of utensils when eating. Conclusion The problems mostly concern productivity and self-care, regardless of gender or age. Patients consider problems at the levels of occupation, activities, tasks and actions to be important and meaningful to address in their intervention. This study provides useful knowledge that can be applied when preparing a setting to address the most common problems, which could lead to the promotion of occupation-based interventions.

Abstract
Introduction High-quality rehabilitation is required if patients with hand-related disorders are to achieve high levels of functioning. Occupation-based interventions are effective in stroke, hip fractures, and for elderly people, but there is limited knowledge of their effect in hand therapy. Sense of coherence may affect rehabilitation outcome, since patients with weak sense of coherence experience lower functioning, are less satisfied with their occupational performance, have inferior quality of life and more pain compared to patients with stronger sense of coherence . Method Following SPIRIT guidelines, we present a randomized, controlled, parallel-grouped trial. It investigates the effect of an occupation-based intervention for outpatients with hand-related disorders and whether sense of coherence influences the outcomes. Patients are stratified into three groups (weak, medium and strong sense of coherence) and randomized to occupation-based or exercise-based hand therapy. Sample size calculation indicates that 70 patients are required in each intervention in each separate sense of coherence group. With an expected drop-out of 20%, a total of 504 participants will be randomized. Primary analysis is score change in functioning measured by the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand from start of rehabilitation to three months’ follow-up. Secondary outcomes are self-evaluated occupational performance and satisfaction with occupational performance. Conclusion This study will add valuable knowledge to the field of hand therapy regarding the therapeutic use of occupations that patients find meaningful. Moreover, it may show which patients will benefit the most from an occupation-based intervention in relation to their sense of coherence.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the profile of disability in patients with type 2 diabetes and to evaluate its associated variables. METHOD The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) assessed disabilities in 475 type 2 diabetic individuals. The activities were categorised by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health. The Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) was used to evaluate pain, emotional and physical functioning domains of life-quality. Multivariable logistic regression assessed the independent correlates of better/worse performance. RESULTS Median COPM score was 4.5 (interquartile range 3-6). Problems in mobility (53.6%), self-care (21.1%) and daily-life (13.0%) were most frequently self-reported. Presence of restriction/pain in the upper limbs (odds ratio [OR]: 1.66; 95% CI: 1.11-2.47; p=0.013) and of peripheral neuropathy (OR: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.06-2.53; p=0.026) were associated with greater chance of worse performance. Higher values of SF-36 in pain and emotional domains (each 10 point increase; OR: 0.92 95% CI: 0.85-0.98; p=0.011; OR: 0.96; 95% CI: 0.92-1.00; p=0.063, respectively) and physical activity (OR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.41-0.98; p=0.042) were associated with better performance. CONCLUSIONS Type 2 diabetic patients frequently reported disabilities in mobility, self-care and daily-life domains; and its associated factors were the presence of depression, upper limb pain and diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Implications for Rehabilitation The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) instrument can be applied to patients with diabetes, as it identifies several disabilities, mostly in mobility, self-care and domestic life areas. Rehabilitation directed to upper limb pain/limitation and to lower limb peripheral neuropathy shall be implemented and may improve diabetic patients' performance and quality of life. A patient-centered rehabilitation strategy, guided by the COPM, may enable greater independence and autonomy, but this should be confirmed in future intervention studies.

Abstract
Background Limited mobility is a risk factor for developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-related disabilities. Little is known about the validity of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) for identifying mobility limitations in patients with COPD. Objective To determine the clinical validity of the SPPB summary score and its three components (standing balance, 4-meter gait speed, and five-repetition sit-to-stand) for identifying mobility limitations in patients with COPD. Methods This cross-sectional study included 137 patients with COPD, recruited from a hospital in Spain. Muscle strength tests and SPPB were measured; then, patients were surveyed for self-reported mobility limitations. The validity of SPPB scores was analyzed by developing receiver operating characteristic curves to analyze the sensitivity and specificity for identifying patients with mobility limitations; by examining group differences in SPPB scores across categories of mobility activities; and by correlating SPPB scores to strength tests. Results Only the SPPB summary score and the five-repetition sit-to-stand components showed good discriminative capabilities; both showed areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves greater than 0.7. Patients with limitations had significantly lower SPPB scores than patients without limitations in nine different mobility activities. SPPB scores were moderately correlated with the quadriceps test (r>0.40), and less correlated with the handgrip test (r<0.30), which reinforced convergent and divergent validities. A SPPB summary score cutoff of 10 provided the best accuracy for identifying mobility limitations. Conclusion This study provided evidence for the validity of the SPPB summary score and the five-repetition sit-to-stand test for assessing mobility in patients with COPD. These tests also showed potential as a screening test for identifying patients with COPD that have mobility limitations.
