Monaghan PG, VanNostrand M, Fritz NE. Backwards walking speed reserve in persons with multiple sclerosis. Mult Scler Relat Disord 2024; 85:105556. [PMID: 38520947 PMCID: PMC11070283 DOI: 10.1016/j.msard.2024.105556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 02/15/2024] [Accepted: 03/16/2024] [Indexed: 03/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Decreased gait speed is common in persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) and has been associated with elevated fall risk. The walking speed reserve (WSR) indicates the ability to increase gait speed on demand and has previously been examined in PwMS. Backward walking is a sensitive measure of fall risk in PwMS; however, no studies have reported on the utility of backward walking speed reserve (BW-WSR) as a clinical assessment tool of functional mobility or fall risk in PwMS, nor have they associated this measure with cognition. METHODS 23 PwMS completed walking trials at their preferred walking speed (PWS) and maximal walking speed (MWS). Participants performed these walking trials in both the forward (FW) and backward direction (BW). The forward walking speed reserve (FW-WSR) was calculated as the difference between MWS and PWS in the forward direction, while the backward walking speed reserve (BW-WSR) was calculated as the difference between MWS and PWS in the back backward direction. Correlation analyses examined the relationship between the FW- and BW-WSR with clinical assessments of functional mobility (the timed up-and-go) as well as cognitive functioning (the Symbol Digit Modalities Test, the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised, the California Verbal Learning Test, and the Trail Making Test A and B). Correlations also examined the relationship between FW- and BW-WSR with prospective falls. RESULTS A lower BW-WSR was associated with disease severity and poorer performance on clinical walking and balance assessment, as well as with decreased information processing speed and attentional performance. Interestingly, FW-WSR showed similar relations. Neither FW- or BW-WSR were associated with prospective risk in this small sample of PwMS. CONCLUSION The BW-WSR did not offer a distinct advantage over other measures, such as the FW-WSR, PWS, or MWS, in the forward or backward direction. The selection of the most sensitive clinical measures of functional mobility and fall risk is crucial; our study holds valuable clinical implications for PwMS by providing novel insights into functional mobility assessments in PwMS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Poliomyelitis is a rare neuromuscular disease that can cause hip osteoarthritis on the contralateral side due to an abnormal mechanical weight-bearing state, making some residual poliomyelitis patients candidates for total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical outcome of THA in the nonparalytic limbs of these patients compared with those of non-poliomyelitis patients. METHODS Patients treated between January 2007 and May 2021 were retrospectively identified in a single center arthroplasty database. Eight residual poliomyelitis cases that met the inclusion criteria were matched to non-poliomyelitis cases in a ratio of 1:2 based on age, sex, body mass index (BMI), age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (aCCI), surgeon, and operation date. The hip function, health-related quality of life, radiographic outcomes, and complications were analyzed with unpaired Student's t test, Mann-Whitney test, Fisher's exact test or analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Survivorship analysis was determined using the Kaplan-Meier estimator analysis and Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon test. RESULTS After a mean follow-up of about 5 years, patients with residual poliomyelitis had worse postoperative mobility outcomes(P < 0.05), but there was no difference in total modified Harris hip score (mHHS) or European quality of life-visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) between the two groups (P > 0.05). There was no difference in radiographic outcomes or complications between the two groups, and patients had similar postoperative satisfaction (P > 0.05). No readmission or reoperation occurred in the poliomyelitis group (P > 0.05), but the postoperative limb length discrepancy (LLD) in the residual poliomyelitis group was greater than that in the control group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Functional outcomes, health-related quality of life improvement were similarly significantly improved in the nonparalytic limb of residual poliomyelitis patients after THA compared with conventional osteoarthritis patients. However, the residual LLD and weak muscle strength of the affected side will still influence mobility, so residual poliomyelitis patients should be fully informed of this outcome before surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More than 7000 patients developed poliomyelitis during the main epidemic in the fifties in Israel. In recent years, there is a further deterioration in their condition due to accelerated aging process and post-polio syndrome. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the risk factors for the progression of functional status in a cohort of patients with late effect of poliomyelitis over a period of ten years. METHODS A cross-sectional cohort study including 82 individuals with late effect of poliomyelitis evaluated over ten years. Mean age was 67±8.5 years, 52.4%were men and 79.3%were Jewish. Functional status was evaluated by activities of daily living (ADL) questionnaire. Risk factors, including general comorbidities, history of poliomyelitis infection, use of assistive devices, employment, and physical activity statuses were evaluated using specific questionnaires. RESULTS Independence in ADL functions deteriorated significantly over ten years. Older age, ethnicity, use of a wheelchair, and use of orthotic devices in childhood were risk factors for deterioration in ADL function. No correlation was found between the presence of other comorbidities or poliomyelitis parameters and worsening of ADL functions. CONCLUSIONS Late effect of poliomyelitis was associated with deterioration in ADL functions probably due to the combined effect of the initial severity of the paralytic poliomyelitis symptoms and accelerated aging.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess and compare the HRQoL and physical fitness of polio survivors with healthy individuals. METHODS Thirty-seven polio survivors and 40 healthy individuals were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) was used to evaluate participant's level of fatigue; Short Form 36 (SF-36) was used for evaluating HRQoL, and hand-grip strength, lumbar trunk muscle endurance, flexibility, balance, and aerobic endurance were used as measures for physical fitness. RESULTS Polio survivors had lower HRQoL in most of the dimensions of the SF-36, and they showed a lower level of physical fitness than controls. In particular, mobility-related variables were 20-40% lower in people with PP. CONCLUSIONS Subjects with PP had lower scores for the physical component of the HRQoL questionnaire, reduced physical fitness, increased fatigue, less mobility, and a higher fall risk than controls. The outcomes of the study can be useful to the design of future programs tailored specifically to improve the assessment of the physical fitness of subjects with paralytic polio and to facilitate interventions based on appropriate physical exercise regimens.Implications for rehabilitationPost-polio syndrome is a disabling disease that impacts in fitness, physical and psychological health-related quality of life of polio survivors.Polio survivors should undergo physical activity programs that focus on improving mainly their mobility and physical functioning (walking, self-care, and climbing stairs), thereby reducing fall risk and fatigue.Individual tailored physical exercise programs should be promoted in order to improve HRQoL in this population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reduced gait performance is common in persons with late effects of polio. OBJECTIVE To identify predictors of change in gait performance over four years in persons with late effects of polio. METHODS Gait performance was assessed annually in 51 ambulatory persons (mean age 64 years, SD 6) by the Timed "Up & Go" (TUG), Comfortable and Fast Gait Speed (CGS, FGS), and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Isokinetic knee extensor and flexor muscle strength was measured with a Biodex dynamometer. Mixed Linear Models were used to analyze changes in gait performance and to identify any predictors of change among the covariates gender, age, body mass index, time with new symptoms, baseline reduction in gait performance and knee muscle strength. RESULTS There were significant linear effects over time (reduction per year) for three gait performance tests; CGS (0.8%; p < 0.05), FGS (1.7%; p < 0.001), and 6MWT (0.7%; p < 0.05) with significant random effects for all tests. The strongest predictor of a change in gait performance was the individual variations in the knee flexor strength (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The small gradual reduction in gait performance over time in persons with late effects of polio is primarily determined by the individual variations in the knee flexor strength.

The walking speed reserve in low disabled people with multiple sclerosis: Does it provide greater insight in detecting mobility deficits and risk of falling than preferred and fast walking speeds? Mult Scler Relat Disord 2017; 17:202-206.

Abstract
The extent of an increase from a preferred walking speed (PWS) to a fast walking speed (FWS) is defined as the walking speed reserve (WSR). The WSR is unique as it reflects an individual's ability to increase their walking speed on demand. The primary objective of this study was to examine whether the WSR was more advantageous than the PWS and FWS in terms of reflecting mobility deficits and risk of falling associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). The patient group included 235 people with MS (PwMS) (139 women) with a mean age of 43.6 (SD = 13.6) years. The WSR, PWS and FWS (m/s) were: 0.47 (SD = 0.29), 0.98 (SD = 0.28) and 1.45 (SD = 0.47), respectively. Significant correlation scores were found between the WSR and all clinical walking and balance outcome measures; Pearson's rho ranged from 0.240 to 0.517. However, stronger correlation scores were found between the PWS, FWS and all clinical walking and balance outcome measures with the Pearson's rho ranging from 0.415 to 0.797. In terms of fall status, non-significant differences were observed between the fallers (n = 133) and non-fallers' (n = 102) groups with respect to the WSR scores. We found that the PWS and FWS were more instructive measures for assessing mobility deficits and fall status in PwMS than the WSR. Nevertheless, we do not rule out the possibility that the WSR score may be a preferred predictor of other adverse events related to MS, such as lower limb muscle weakness, spasticity and aerobic capacity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with neuromuscular disorders and subsequent calf muscle weakness, metabolic walking energy cost (EC) is nearly always increased, which may restrict walking activity in daily life. To reduce walking EC, a spring-like ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO) can be prescribed. However, the reduction in EC that can be obtained from these AFOs is stiffness dependent, and it is unknown which AFO stiffness would optimally support calf muscle weakness. The PROOF-AFO study aims to determine the effectiveness of stiffness-optimised AFOs on reducing walking EC, and improving gait biomechanics and walking speed in patients with calf muscle weakness, compared to standard, non-optimised AFOs. A second aim is to build a model to predict optimal AFO stiffness. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A prospective intervention study will be conducted. In total, 37 patients with calf muscle weakness who already use an AFO will be recruited. At study entry, participants will receive a new custom-made spring-like AFO of which the stiffness can be varied. For each patient, walking EC (primary outcome), gait biomechanics and walking speed (secondary outcomes) will be assessed for five stiffness configurations and the patient's own (standard) AFO. On the basis of walking EC and gait biomechanics outcomes, the optimal AFO stiffness will be determined. After wearing this optimal AFO for 3 months, walking EC, gait biomechanics and walking speed will be assessed again and compared to the standard AFO. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Medical Ethics Committee of the Academic Medical Centre in Amsterdam has approved the study protocol. The study is registered at the Dutch trial register (NTR 5170). The PROOF-AFO study is the first to compare stiffness-optimised AFOs with usual care AFOs in patients with calf muscle weakness. The results will also provide insight into factors that influence optimal AFO stiffness in these patients. The results are necessary for improving orthotic treatment and will be disseminated through international peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of an eight-week home-based arm ergometry aerobic exercise programme on physical fitness, fatigue, activity and quality of life in Polio Survivors. Design: An assessor blinded randomised controlled trial. Setting: Home-based exercise. Subjects: Fifty-five Polio survivors randomised to exercise or control groups. Intervention: Home-based arm ergometry at an intensity of 50%-70% maximum heart rate, compared with usual physiotherapy care. Main measures: The Six-minute Arm Test, Fatigue Severity Scale, Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities and SF-36. Assessments were completed at baseline and at eight weeks. Results: There was no significant difference in the primary outcome, exercising heart rate during the Six-minute Arm Test, between the groups at follow-up [97.6 (SD10.1) compared to 102.4 (SD13.7) beats per minute ( P=0.20)]. Blood pressure was significantly lower in the intervention group at follow-up [systolic blood pressure 132(18.6)mmHg compared to 144.1(14.6)mmHg ( P=0.002)]. There were no between group differences in the Fatigue Severity Scale ( P=0.25) or Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities ( P=0.49), with a small difference in SF-36 physical component score ( P=0.04). Conclusions: This home-based arm ergometry programme successfully facilitated aerobic exercise in Polio Survivors, but did not result in a significant change in physical fitness, measured by the Six-minute Arm Test.

Abstract
Objective To explore reasons for the lack of efficacy of a high intensity aerobic exercise program in post-polio syndrome (PPS) on cardiorespiratory fitness by evaluating adherence to the training program and effects on muscle function. Design A process evaluation using data from an RCT. Patients Forty-four severely fatigued individuals with PPS were randomized to exercise therapy (n = 22) or usual care (n = 22). Methods Participants in the exercise group were instructed to exercise 3 times weekly for 4 months on a bicycle ergometer (60–70% heart rate reserve). Results The attendance rate was high (median 89%). None of the participants trained within the target heart rate range during >75% of the designated time. Instead, participants exercised at lower intensities, though still around the anaerobic threshold (AT) most of the time. Muscle function did not improve in the exercise group. Conclusion Our results suggest that severely fatigued individuals with PPS cannot adhere to a high intensity aerobic exercise program on a cycle ergometer. Despite exercise intensities around the AT, lower extremity muscle function nor cardiorespiratory fitness improved. Improving the aerobic capacity in PPS is difficult through exercise primarily focusing on the lower extremities, and may require a more individualized approach, including the use of other large muscle groups instead.

Abstract
Objective To obtain information on the socioeconomic, medical, and functional status of polio survivors, and to use these results as the preliminary data for establishing the middle-aged cohort of polio survivors. Methods The subjects were recruited based on the medical records of multiple hospitals and centers. They were assessed through a structured questionnaire over the phone. Post-poliomyelitis syndrome (PPS) was identified according to the specified diagnostic criteria. Differences between polio survivors with or without PPS were evaluated, and the risk factors for PPS were analyzed by the odds ratio (OR). Results Majority of polio survivors were middle-aged and mean age was 51.2±8.3 years. A total of 188 out of 313 polio survivors met the adopted criteria for PPS based on the symptoms, yielding a prevalence of 61.6%. Mean interval between acute poliomyelitis and the development of PPS was 38.5±11.6 years. Female gender (OR 1.82; confidence interval [CI] 1.09-3.06), the age at onset of poliomyelitis (OR 1.75; CI 1.05-2.94), the use of orthoses or walking aids (OR 2.46; CI 1.44-4.20), and the history of medical treatment for paralysis, pain or gait disturbance (OR 2.62; CI 1.52-4.51) represented independent risk factors for PPS. Conclusion We found that the majority of Korean polio survivors entered middle age with many medical, functional, and social problems. Female gender, early age of onset of poliomyelitis, the use of orthoses or walking aids, and the history of medical treatment for paralysis, pain or gait disturbance were identified as the significant risk factors for PPS. A comprehensive and multidisciplinary plan should be prepared to manage polio survivors considering their need for health care services and the risk factors for late effects, such as PPS.
