Walking self-confidence and lower levels of anxiety are associated with meeting recommended levels of physical activity after hip fracture: a cross-sectional study. Disabil Rehabil 2024:1-7. [PMID: 38635302 DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2024.2338195] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To explore whether psychological factors are associated with ability to meet recommended physical activity thresholds after hip fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cross-sectional observational study of 216 community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years after hip fracture (mean age 79 SD 7 years, 70% female). Multiple ordinal regression analysis determined factors associated with meeting physical activity thresholds related to positive health outcomes: 4,400 and 7,100 daily steps. Explanatory variables were: walking self-confidence; falls self-efficacy; depression; anxiety; co-morbidities; previous gait aid use; nutritional status; age; and gender. RESULTS Forty-three participants (20%) met the lower threshold of ≥4,400 to <7,100 steps and thirty participants (14%) met the upper threshold of ≥7,100 steps. Walking self-confidence was positively associated with meeting higher physical activity thresholds (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] 1.32: 95% CI 1.11 to 1.57, p = 0.002). Age (AOR 0.93: 95% CI 0.89 to 0.98, p = 0.003), DASS-21 anxiety score (AOR 0.81: 95% CI 0.69 to 0.94, p = 0.008) and comorbidity index score (AOR 0.52: 95% CI 0.36 to 0.72, p < 0.001) were negatively associated with meeting higher physical activity thresholds. CONCLUSION Walking self-confidence and anxiety are potentially modifiable factors associated with meeting physical activity thresholds related to positive health outcomes after hip fracture.

Factors associated with concerns about falling and activity restriction in older adults after hip fracture: a mixed-methods systematic review. Eur Geriatr Med 2024; 15:305-332. [PMID: 38418713 PMCID: PMC10997732 DOI: 10.1007/s41999-024-00936-9] [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: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 03/02/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate factors contributing to concerns about falling and activity restriction in the community among older adults who had a hip fracture. METHODS A mixed method systematic review with a convergent segregated approach. We searched Medline, Embase, PsycInfo, PEDRo, CINAHL and the Cochrane library. Results were synthesised narratively considering physical, psychological, environmental, care, and social factors and presented in tables. Critical appraisal was completed in duplicate. RESULTS We included 19 studies (9 qualitative, 9 observational, 1 mixed methods) representing 1480 individuals and 23 factors related to concerns about falling and activity restriction. Physical factors included falls history, comorbidities, balance, strength, mobility and functionality. Psychological factors included anxiety and neuroticism scores, perceived confidence in/control over rehabilitation and abilities, and negative/positive affect about the orthopaedic trauma, pre-fracture abilities and future needs. Environmental factors included accessibility in the home, outdoors and with transport. Social and care factors related to the presence or absence of formal and informal networks, which reduced concerns and promoted activity by providing feedback, advice, encouragement, and practical support. CONCLUSION These findings highlight that to improve concerns about falling and activity restriction after hip fracture, it is important to: improve physical and functional abilities; boost self-confidence; promote positive affect; involve relatives and carers; increase access to clinicians, and; enhance accessibility of the home, outdoors and transport. Most factors were reported on by a small number of studies of varying quality and require replication in future research.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of older adults and counsellors involved in virtual motivational interviewing (MI). This study was part of the Virtual Motivational INTerviewing (VIMINT) feasibility trial of virtual MI for physical activity in older adults. A descriptive qualitative design utilized content analysis. Seven older adults and three counsellors were interviewed. Four categories were developed: (i) Benefits and limitations of using technology (ii) Relationships between older adults and counsellors (iii) MI skills and spirit and (iv) Effects of virtual MI. Older adults and counsellors reported that receiving/delivering MI virtually was convenient and flexible. They described reduced non-verbal communication in virtual MI. Virtual MI facilitates interpersonal relationships, and counsellors reported that MI skills and spirit can be applied virtually. This study showed that virtual MI offers potential benefits with some limitations. The findings could inform future research involving virtual delivery of MI.

Effectiveness of exercise rehabilitation interventions on depressive symptoms in older adults post hip fracture: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:227-242. [PMID: 37831102 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06923-3] [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: 03/07/2023] [Accepted: 09/20/2023] [Indexed: 10/14/2023]
Abstract
This study determines the effectiveness of exercise rehabilitation interventions on depressive symptoms in older adults after hip fracture. Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, Global Health, APAPsych, CENTRAL, CIHAHL, PEDro and Open Grey were searched from database inception to June 10, 2022 for definitive, pilot or feasibility randomised controlled trials of rehabilitation interventions (versus any comparator) which reported depressive symptoms among older adults post hip fracture. Nonrandomised trials and those not published in English were excluded. Selection, quality appraisal (Cochrane Risk of Bias 2) and extraction in duplicate. Results were synthesised narratively and with meta-analysis (Hedge's g for intervention effect, I2 for heterogeneity). Eight trials (1146 participants) were included. Interventions were predominantly face-to-face exercise rehabilitation (range three to 56 sessions) at home versus usual care. Three trials were assigned overall low risk of bias, three some concerns and two high risk. The pooled effect of rehabilitation on depressive symptoms at intervention end favoured the intervention group (Hedges's g -0.43; 95% CI: -0.87, 0.01; four trials). Three trials demonstrated no between group difference following adjustment for baseline depressive symptoms. One trial found lower odds of depression when the intervention additionally included falls prevention, nutrition consultation and depression management. There is a potential benefit of exercise rehabilitation interventions on depressive symptoms after hip fracture. A mechanism for benefit may relate to baseline symptom severity, exercise frequency, frequency of health professional contacts, addition of a psychological component or of the quality of the underlying trials. To appropriately inform clinical guidelines, further appropriately powered trials with follow-up are warranted. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: CRD42022342099.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physical activity (PA) can reduce depressive symptoms but has not been tested amongst depressed older caregivers and their care-recipients. The aim of this single-blind randomized controlled trial was to investigate the effect of a 6-month tailored PA program on depressive symptoms in older caregivers. METHOD Caregivers were included if they had scores of ≥5 on the 15-item geriatric depression scale (GDS-15). Care-recipients could have any type of physical, mental or cognitive condition requiring support. The PA intervention group completed an individualized program based on the Otago-Plus Exercise Program. The primary outcome was improvement in depressive symptoms in caregivers measured at six and 12 months. RESULTS Two hundred and twelve participants (91 dyads and 30 caregivers only) were randomized using a 3:3:1 ratio to PA intervention, social-control, and usual-care control groups. There were no significant differences in depressive symptoms of the caregivers between the three groups at 6 months or 12 months. However, more than 50% of caregivers in all three groups no longer had a GDS-15 score ≥5 at 6 months. Further analysis revealed that caregivers in the PA group caring for someone with a standardised mini-mental state examination (SMMSE) score ≥24 had significantly less depressive symptoms than those caring for someone with a SMMSE score <24 compared with social-control (p < 0.02) and usual-care groups (p < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS A PA intervention may be beneficial for some caregivers in reducing symptoms of depression but may not be as beneficial to caregivers of people living with cognitive impairment.

Evaluation of mobility recovery after hip fracture: a scoping review of randomized controlled studies. Osteoporos Int 2024; 35:203-215. [PMID: 37801082 PMCID: PMC10837269 DOI: 10.1007/s00198-023-06922-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/11/2023] [Indexed: 10/07/2023]
Abstract
Few older adults regain their pre-fracture mobility after a hip fracture. Intervention studies evaluating effects on gait typically use short clinical tests or in-lab parameters that are often limited to gait speed only. Measurements of mobility in daily life settings exist and should be considered to a greater extent than today. Less than half of hip fracture patients regain their pre-fracture mobility. Mobility recovery is closely linked to health status and quality of life, but there is no comprehensive overview of how gait has been evaluated in intervention studies on hip fracture patients. The purpose was to identify what gait parameters have been used in randomized controlled trials to assess intervention effects on older people's mobility recovery after hip fracture. This scoping review is a secondary paper that identified relevant peer-reviewed and grey literature from 11 databases. After abstract and full-text screening, 24 papers from the original review and 8 from an updated search and manual screening were included. Records were eligible if they included gait parameters in RCTs on hip fracture patients. We included 32 papers from 29 trials (2754 unique participants). Gait parameters were primary endpoint in six studies only. Gait was predominantly evaluated as short walking, with gait speed being most frequently studied. Only five studies reported gait parameters from wearable sensors. Evidence on mobility improvement after interventions in hip fracture patients is largely limited to gait speed as assessed in a controlled setting. The transition from traditional clinical and in-lab to out-of-lab gait assessment is needed to assess effects of interventions on mobility recovery after hip fracture at higher granularity in all aspects of patients' lives, so that optimal care pathways can be defined.

Abstract
Eighteen million older adults have mobility limitations, defined as difficulty walking a quarter of a mile or climbing stairs unassisted. Little is known about how symptom burden impacts mobility difficulty in older adults. Understanding the burden of symptoms responsible for mobility difficulties may be an area for intervention to improve mobility and to prevent adverse outcomes. We conducted 31 semi-structured qualitative interviews (one interview per participant) regarding the symptom burden experience associated with a current mobility difficulty. Thematic analysis revealed symptoms were limiting, were barriers to participation in daily activities, and produced a psychological and emotional burden that negatively impacted quality of life. Older adults employed various strategies to overcome the symptom burden. Participants also believed symptoms were a non-modifiable part of the aging process and at times felt disregarded by healthcare professionals. Future interventions should focus on reducing the symptom burden experience for older adults to improve mobility and prevent adverse outcomes.

Multicomponent Home-based Physical Therapy Versus Usual Care for Recovery After Hip Fracture. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2023; 104:2011-2018. [PMID: 37610404 PMCID: PMC10840126 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2023.05.001] [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: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 04/17/2023] [Accepted: 05/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/24/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To quantify the effect of 2 home-based 16-week multi-component physical therapy interventions on functional recovery compared to usual care after hip fracture. DESIGN Cross-study comparison using participants from the Community Ambulation Project (CAP; a randomized controlled trial) were compared to the Baltimore Hip Studies-seventh cohort (BHS-7; an observational cohort study) at 3 different time points (CAP: 15, 31, 55 weeks; BHS-7: 8, 26, and 52 weeks). SETTING General community PARTICIPANTS: Combined convenience sample of hip-fracture patients 8-26 weeks post admission from a prospective cohort study and randomized controlled trial. (N=549) INTERVENTIONS: CAP participants were randomized to one of 2 interventions (PUSH: specific multi-component intervention; PULSE: non-specific multi-component intervention) after standard rehabilitation; BHS-7 participants received usual care. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mean function (as measured by Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and gait speed) was estimated in each cohort as quadratic functions of time using data from 3 post-fracture assessments in both studies (CAP: 15, 31, 55 weeks; BHS-7: 8, 26, and 52 weeks). RESULTS The harmonized samples included 101 PUSH, 100 PULSE, and 128 BHS-7 participants that had different demographic and clinical characteristics. Mean baseline SPPB scores (meters per second) were PUSH: 5.5 (SD=2.2), PULSE: 5.5 (SD=2.4), and BHS-7: 4.6 (SD=2.5); and mean gait speeds were 0.60 m/s (SD=0.20) for PUSH, 0.59 m/s (SD=0.17) for PULSE, and 0.46 m/s SD=(0.21) for BHS-7, respectively. Estimated between-group differences for SPPB improvement from 75 days to 1-year post admission were 0.7 (P=.04) in PUSH vs BHS-7; and 0.9 (P=.01) in PULSE vs BHS-7. Mean differences in change in gait speed were 0.08 (P=.002) for PUSH vs BHS-7; and 0.06 (P=.02) PULSE vs BHS-7 (P=.02). CONCLUSIONS Findings from this cross-study comparison that combined participants from 2 separate studies, with different designs and samples, suggest that home-based multi-component physical therapy programs were associated with greater functional improvement after hip fracture compared to usual care.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of using SUpported Motivational InTerviewing (SUMIT) to increase physical activity in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING We recruited people who had completed Good Life with osteoArthritis Denmark (GLA:D) from private, public and community settings in Victoria, Australia. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomised participants to receive SUMIT or usual care. SUMIT comprised five motivational interviewing sessions targeting physical activity over 10 weeks, and access to a multimedia web-based platform. PARTICIPANTS Thirty-two participants were recruited (17 SUMIT, 15 control) including 22 females (69%). OUTCOME MEASURES Feasibility outcomes included recruitment rate, adherence to motivational interviewing, ActivPAL wear and drop-out rate. Effect sizes (ESs) were calculated for daily steps, stepping time, time with cadence >100 steps per minute, time in bouts >1 min; 6 min walk distance, Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales (pain, symptoms, function, sport and recreation, and quality of life (QoL)), Euroqual, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, 30 s chair stand test and walking speed during 40 m walk test. RESULTS All feasibility criteria were achieved, with 32/63 eligible participants recruited over seven months; with all participants adhering to all motivational interviewing calls and achieving sufficient ActivPAL wear time, and only two drop-outs (6%).12/15 outcome measures showed at least a small effect (ES>0.2) favouring the SUMIT group, including daily time with cadence >100 steps per minute (ES=0.43). Two outcomes, walking speed (ES= 0.97) and KOOS QoL (ES=0.81), showed a large effect (ES>0.8). CONCLUSION SUMIT is feasible in people with knee osteoarthritis. Potential benefits included more time spent walking at moderate intensity, faster walking speeds and better QoL. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12621000267853.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Motivational interviewing (MI) proficiency may erode quickly, limiting its effectiveness. We examined whether health professionals completing a 2-day workshop, with 3 to 5 hours of personalized coaching, and twice-yearly group reflections sustained proficiency for the duration of a hip fracture rehabilitation trial and whether intervention was implemented as intended. METHODS A fidelity study was completed as part of a process evaluation of the trial that tested whether physical activity increased among hip fracture patients randomly allocated to receive MI (experimental) compared with dietary advice (control) over ten 30-minute sessions. Twelve health professionals (none were proficient in MI before trial commencement) delivered the intervention for up to 952 days. Two hundred experimental sessions (24% of all sessions, 83 patients) were randomly selected to evaluate proficiency using the MI Treatment Integrity scale; along with 20 control sessions delivered by four dietitians. Linear mixed-effects regression analyses determined whether proficiency was sustained over time. Dose was assessed from all experimental sessions ( n = 840, 98 patients). RESULTS Intervention was implemented as intended; 82% of patients received at least eight 30-minute sessions. All motivational interviewers were proficient, whereas dietitians did not inadvertently deliver MI. Time had no effect on MI proficiency (est < 0.001/d, P = .913, 95% CI, -0.001 to 0.001). DISCUSSION MI proficiency was sustained in a large trial over 2.6 years by completing a 2-day workshop, 3 to 5 hours of personalized coaching, and twice-yearly group reflections, even for those without previous experience; further research needs to establish the maximum duration of training effectiveness.

A systematic review of fear of falling and related constructs after hip fracture: prevalence, measurement, associations with physical function, and interventions. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:385. [PMID: 37353752 PMCID: PMC10288814 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-03855-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 02/28/2023] [Indexed: 06/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fracture is a common and debilitating injury amongst older adults. Fear of falling (FoF) and related constructs (balance confidence and falls efficacy) may impede rehabilitation after hip fracture. An updated systematic review to synthesize existing literature on FoF after hip fracture is needed. This review focussed on four research questions: In the hip fracture population: (1) What is the prevalence of FoF?; (2) What FoF assessment tools are validated? (3) What is the relationship between FoF and physical function?; (4) What interventions are effective for reducing FoF? METHODS A systematic search was undertaken in EBSCO Health, Scopus and PsychINFO in January 2021 (and updated December 2022) for articles on FoF after hip fracture. Data in relation to each research question was extracted and analysed. The quality of the studies was appraised using the 'Risk of Bias Tool for Prevalence Studies', 'COSMIN Risk of Bias checklist for Patient-reported outcome measures', modified version of the 'Appraisal Tool for Cross-sectional studies', and the 'Cochrane Risk of Bias 2' tools for each research question, respectively. RESULTS 36 studies (37 articles) with 5099 participants were included (mean age 80.2 years and average 78% female). Prevalence rates for FoF after hip fracture ranged between 22.5% and 100%, and prevalence tended to decrease as time progressed post hip fracture. The 'Falls Efficacy Scale - International' (FES-I) and 'Fear of Falling Questionnaire - Revised' (FFQ-R) were found to be reliable, internally consistent, and valid tools in hip fracture patients. FoF after hip fracture was consistently associated with measures of physical function including balance, gait speed, composite physical performance measures and self-reported function. Ten of 14 intervention studies were considered high risk of bias. Exercise-based interventions with or without a psychological component were not effective in reducing FoF after hip fracture compared to a control condition. CONCLUSION FoF is prevalent after hip fracture and is consistently associated with poorer physical function. Only two instruments (FES-I and FFQ-R) have been validated for measuring FoF in the hip fracture population. However, there remains a need for larger, higher quality randomised controlled trials targeting FoF after hip fracture in order to guide clinical practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Interventions provided after hip fracture surgery have been shown to reduce mortality and improve functional outcomes. While some systematic studies have evaluated the efficacy of post-surgery interventions, there lacks a systematically rigorous examination of all the post-surgery interventions which allows healthcare providers to easily identify post-operative interventions most pertinent to patient's recovery. OBJECTIVES We aim to provide an overview of the available evidence on post-surgery interventions provided in the acute, subacute and community settings to improve outcomes for patients with hip fractures. METHODS We performed a systematic literature review guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). We included articles that were (1) randomized controlled trials (RCTs), (2) involved post-surgery interventions that were conducted in the acute, subacute or community settings and (3) conducted among older patients above 65 years old with any type of non-pathological hip fracture that was surgically treated, and who were able to walk without assistance prior to the fracture. We excluded (1) non-English language articles, (2) abstract-only publications, (3) articles with only surgical interventions, (4) articles with interventions that commenced pre-surgery or immediately upon completion of surgery or blood transfusion, (5) animal studies. Due to the large number of RCTs identified, we only included "good quality" RCTs with Jadad score ≥ 3 for data extraction and synthesis. RESULTS Our literature search has identified 109 good quality RCTs on post-surgery interventions for patients with fragility hip fractures. Among the 109 RCTs, 63% of the identified RCTs (n = 69) were related to rehabilitation or medication/nutrition supplementation, with the remaining RCTs focusing on osteoporosis management, optimization of clinical management, prevention of venous thromboembolism, fall prevention, multidisciplinary approaches, discharge support, management of post-operative anemia as well as group learning and motivational interviewing. For the interventions conducted in inpatient and outpatient settings investigating medication/nutrition supplementation, all reported improvement in outcomes (ranging from reduced postoperative complications, reduced length of hospital stay, improved functional recovery, reduced mortality rate, improved bone mineral density and reduced falls), except for a study investigating anabolic steroids. RCTs involving post-discharge osteoporosis care management generally reported improved osteoporosis management except for a RCT investigating multidisciplinary post-fracture clinic led by geriatrician with physiotherapist and occupational therapist. The trials investigating group learning and motivational interviewing also reported positive outcome respectively. The other interventions yielded mixed results. The interventions in this review had minor or no side effects reported. CONCLUSIONS The identified RCTs regarding post-surgery interventions were heterogeneous in terms of type of interventions, settings and outcome measures. Combining interventions across inpatient and outpatient settings may be able to achieve better outcomes such as improved physical function recovery and improved nutritional status recovery. For example, nutritional supplementation could be made available for patients who have undergone hip fracture surgery in the inpatient settings, followed by post-discharge outpatient osteoporosis care management. The findings from this review can aid in clinical practice by allowing formulation of thematic program with combination of interventions as part of bundled care to improve outcome for patients who have undergone hip fracture surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE To identify client and service factors associated with changes in health-related quality of life following community rehabilitation. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational cohort study within a community rehabilitation program. Health-related quality of life was measured using the EuroQol five Dimensions, five response level version (EQ-5D-5L). Our primary outcome was the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) rating of overall health. Analyses were stratified by diagnostic group: traumatic orthopaedic, elective orthopaedic, neurological, medical, and other. The association between client and service factors and discharge VAS scores, adjusted for baseline scores were determined using multivariable regression. RESULTS EQ-5D-5L data were available for 981 of 1350 participants. Treatment intensity was associated with a seven-point increase (β = 7.22, 95%CI 2.28-12.2, p = 0.004) in VAS scores for traumatic orthopaedic participants. For neurological participants, there was a positive interaction between comorbidities and intensity of therapy (β = 7.9, 95%CI 2.75-13.1, p = 0.003), indicating that greater therapy intensity in those with higher comorbidity scores was associated with an improvement in VAS scores. Age was negatively associated with VAS scores for traumatic orthopaedic participants and socioeconomic status was positively associated with VAS scores for elective orthopaedic participants. CONCLUSIONS Treatment intensity is a modifiable service factor that may positively influence health-related quality of life.Implications for rehabilitationIn addition to providing information on client progress towards attainment of individual treatment goals, routine collection of patient reported outcome measures within a community rehabilitation program can elicit information that can inform rehabilitation service improvement.Clients of a community rehabilitation program with a neurological or medical condition demonstrate the least improvement in overall health profile and may require additional rehabilitation or supports.Across all diagnostic groups, problems with anxiety and depression were least likely to improve following receipt of community rehabilitation. Improving access to psychological services and associated referral pathways in community rehabilitation services could improve these outcomes.Initiatives aimed at increasing intensity of therapy such as targeted triage and resource allocation, may improve health-related quality of life for clients of a community rehabilitation program with traumatic orthopaedic conditions.For clients with a neurological condition, initiatives aimed at increasing intensity of therapy may improve health-related quality of life in more complex patients with comorbid health conditions.

[PMID: 36073633 PMCID: PMC9799186 DOI: 10.1093/gerona/glac182] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine trajectories of depressive symptoms among older adults in England, overall and for those with hip fracture. The study aimed to explore the differential characteristics of each trajectory identified. METHODS Analysis of adults aged 60 years or more (n = 7 050), including a hip fracture subgroup (n = 384), from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing. Latent class growth mixture modeling was completed. Depressive symptom prevalence was estimated at baseline. Chi-square tests were completed to compare baseline characteristics across trajectories. RESULTS Three trajectories of depressive symptoms (no, mild, and moderate-severe) were identified overall and for those with hip fracture. The moderate-severe trajectory comprised 13.7% and 7% of participants for overall and hip fracture populations, respectively. The proportion of participants with depressive symptoms in the moderate-severe trajectory was 65.4% and 85.2% for overall and hip fracture populations, respectively. Depressive symptoms were stable over time, with a weak trend toward increasing severity for the moderate-severe symptom trajectory. Participants in the moderate-severe symptom trajectory were older, more likely to be female, live alone, and had worse health measures than other trajectories (p < .001). CONCLUSIONS Older adults, and those with hip fracture, follow one of the 3 trajectories of depressive symptoms that are broadly stable over time. Depressive symptoms' prevalence was higher for those with hip fracture and, when present, the symptoms were more severe than the overall population. Results suggest a role of factors including age, gender, and marital status in depressive symptom trajectories.

The impact of signposting and group support pathways on a community-based physical activity intervention grounded in motivational interviewing. J Public Health (Oxf) 2022; 44:851-862. [PMID: 34121114 DOI: 10.1093/pubmed/fdab198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 05/07/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Brief advice is recommended to increase physical activity (PA) within primary care. This study assessed change in PA levels and mental well-being after a motivational interviewing (MI) community-based PA intervention and the impact of signposting (SP) and social action (SA) (i.e. weekly group support) pathways. METHODS Participants (n = 2084) took part in a community-based, primary care PA programme using MI techniques. Self-reported PA and mental well-being data were collected at baseline (following an initial 30-min MI appointment), 12 weeks, 6 months and 12 months. Participants were assigned based upon the surgery they attended to the SP or SA pathway. Multilevel models derived point estimates and 95% confidence intervals for outcomes at each time point and change scores. RESULTS Participants increased PA and mental well-being at each follow-up time point through both participant pathways and with little difference between pathways. Retention was similar between pathways at 12 weeks, but the SP pathway retained more participants at 6 and 12 months. CONCLUSIONS Both pathways produced similar improvements in PA and mental well-being; however, the addition of a control would have provided further insight as to the effectiveness. Due to lower resources yet similar effects, the SP pathway could be incorporated to support PA in primary care settings.

Gently steering - the mechanism of how motivational interviewing supported walking after hip fracture: A qualitative study. PEC INNOVATION 2022; 1:100078. [PMID: 37213730 PMCID: PMC10194110 DOI: 10.1016/j.pecinn.2022.100078] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 08/19/2022] [Accepted: 08/22/2022] [Indexed: 05/23/2023]
Abstract
Objective To explore how older adults perceive motivational interviewing influences their walking and physical activity after hip fracture. Methods Qualitative study using an interpretive description framework. Twenty-four participants aged ≥65 years living in the community after hip fracture were interviewed. Participants had received at least 8 sessions of motivational interviewing via telephone. Semi-structured interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded inductively by two researchers independently. All authors discussed findings and themes observed through the researchers' lens and mapped them to the Medical Research Council's framework for process evaluation. Results Motivational interviewing was described as a nuanced and subtle intervention that guided participants through their journey of recovery. Three themes described possible mechanisms of how motivational interviewing might work: connection, checking in and confidence. In the context of recovering from hip fracture psychologically and physically, a strong connection with clinicians, along with weekly checking in, were perceived to build participants' confidence to walk after hip fracture. Conclusion This study provided insight on participant perceptions of how motivational interviewing might work to support walking after hip fracture. Innovation The addition of motivational interviewing to rehabilitation is a novel way of building confidence to walk for people recovering from hip fracture.

Meeting community ambulation criteria and confidence with walking on discharge from inpatient rehabilitation were positively associated with performance of outdoor community activities 8 weeks after discharge. Disabil Rehabil 2022; 44:6796-6803. [PMID: 34529531 DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2021.1976290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2021] [Revised: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 08/29/2021] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess whether meeting criteria for community ambulation and ambulatory self-confidence on discharge from inpatient rehabilitation are associated with participation in community activities. METHODS Prospective longitudinal observational study design. Participants were assessed within 48-hours of discharge on ability to complete tasks reflective of community ambulation (walking 315 m, ascending/descending three stairs, a ramp, and a street curb and walking at 0.44 m/s) and ambulatory self-confidence. At 8 weeks post-discharge frequency of participation in domestic, leisure/work and outdoor activities was measured using the Frenchay Activities Index (FAI). Multivariable regression analysis determined factors associated with total and outdoor FAI score. RESULTS Seventy-four of 79 participants were followed up at 8 weeks post-discharge. Meeting all ambulation criteria was positively associated with FAI outdoor score (β = 1.85, 95%CI 0.01-3.69, p = 0.049). Ambulatory self-confidence was positively associated with FAI outdoor score (β = 0.03, 95%CI 0-0.05, p = 0.032) and FAI total score (β = 0.05, 95%CI 0-0.1, p = 0.040). Age (β= -0.22, 95%CI -0.36 to -0.08, p = 0.003) and living alone (β = 3.36, 95%CI 0.10-6.61, p = 0.044) were associated with FAI total score. CONCLUSIONS Capacity to meet ambulation criteria and ambulatory self-confidence are modifiable factors that could be targeted during rehabilitation to improve participation in community activities.Implications for rehabilitationMeeting community ambulation criteria and confidence with walking on discharge from inpatient rehabilitation are positively associated with performance of outdoor community activities 8 weeks after discharge.Capacity to meet community ambulation criteria and ambulatory confidence may be useful measures for rehabilitation teams to consider when discharging patients home.Meeting ambulation criteria and ambulatory confidence are modifiable factors that could be addressed through targeted therapy to improve community integration following hospitalisation.

Adherence to Exercise Programs in Community-Dwelling Older Adults Postdischarge for Hip Fracture: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2022; 103:1827-1838.e2. [PMID: 35143745 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2022.01.145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Revised: 12/14/2021] [Accepted: 01/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether older adults adhere to exercise programs after discharge for hip fracture and how adherence relates to exercise program characteristics and intervention efficacy. DATA SOURCES Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, Embase, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, PubMed, and Ovid MEDLINE were searched from inception to August 2020. STUDY SELECTION Randomized controlled trials of exercise interventions in adults older than 60 years with a surgically managed hip fracture that provided a measure of adherence were selected by 2 independent reviewers. DATA EXTRACTION Data were extracted independently by 1 reviewer and cross-checked by a second reviewer for accuracy. Risk of bias was assessed with 2 tools: a customized checklist was used to examine sources of bias and ambiguity for adherence data, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool was used to assess the interval validity of studies. DATA SYNTHESIS Seventeen trials with 1850 participants (mean age, 78.8 years) were included in the review. The pooled estimate of adherence to exercise programs post hip fracture was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.78-0.95). Programs that were more than 6 months in duration were associated with a decrease in adherence (odds ratio, 0.29; 95% CI, 0.11-0.77). However, increased adherence was not associated with improvements in functional outcomes. None of the other program characteristics were associated with improvements in functional outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Adherence to exercise programs after hip fracture appears to be high and may be related to program duration. However, there is a need for a standardized approach to measure and report adherence data in future studies to determine whether exercise adherence is associated with improvements in function for this population.

Community Reintegration After Rehabilitation for Hip Fracture: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2022; 103:1638-1650.e7. [PMID: 34973944 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2021.12.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 12/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of rehabilitation on the physical, social, and psychological dimensions of community reintegration after hip fracture. DATA SOURCES Electronic databases Embase, EMCare, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, and SPORTDiscus were searched from the earliest date available to second June 2021. STUDY SELECTION Searching identified 1844 potentially relevant articles. Twenty randomized controlled trials evaluating physical retraining, cognitive retraining, and model of care interventions on physical, social and psychological aspects of community reintegration for 3075 adults after hip fracture were included. DATA EXTRACTION Data were extracted using predetermined templates for participant characteristics, intervention type and setting, and outcomes related to community reintegration. Methodological quality was assessed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale, and the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations approach was applied to each meta-analysis. DATA SYNTHESIS Post intervention data were pooled to calculate risk ratios (RRs), mean differences, standardized mean differences, and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using inverse variance methods and a random-effects model. Compared with usual care or no rehabilitation, there was moderate-quality evidence to suggest that physical retraining interventions improved outdoor mobility (RR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.09-1.91; I2=0%) and moderate-quality evidence to suggest that physical retraining improved Nottingham Extended Activities of Daily Living Scale scores (physical and social reintegration) by a mean 3.5 units (95% CI, 0.99-6.01; I2=0%). Meta-analyses showed no significant effect for cognitive retraining and model of care interventions on any dimension of community reintegration. CONCLUSIONS Preliminary evidence suggests that physical rehabilitation after hip fracture improves physical and social aspects of community reintegration. The effect of psychological and home-based interventions on community reintegration is currently unclear. Further research is needed to determine the effect of rehabilitation on community reintegration, using interventions and measures that encompass all dimensions of community reintegration.

Improvements of Physical Activity Performance and Motivation in Adult Men through Augmented Reality Approach: A Randomized Controlled Trial. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 2022:3050424. [PMID: 35855818 PMCID: PMC9288278 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3050424] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic had a global impact, increasing the prevalence of physical inactivity, which is mostly due to the lockdown and social distancing measures adopted during the pandemic. Hence, this study aimed to compare the efficacy of augmented reality-based training on physical activity performance and motivation in healthy adults to mirror visual feedback training and conventional physical therapy. This study used the randomized control trial pretest-posttest research design. Forty-eight healthy men aged 18–35 years who were engaged in recreational physical activities were enrolled and randomly divided into four groups: augmented reality-based training reality (ART), mirror visual feedback training (MVFT), therapist-based training (TBT), and control group. The total training program was held for four weeks. The isokinetic dynamometer, sit-and-reach test, Y balance test, and the intrinsic motivation inventory-22 were used to measure the outcomes before and after the intervention. Paired sample t-test was used to compare the changes before and after the intervention within groups, while the one-way ANOVA was used for the comparison between the groups. Results of the study showed that, after four weeks of intervention, balance, muscle strength, and muscle endurance in all groups significantly improved except for the control group. The ART group showed the highest increase in muscle strength, muscle endurance, and balance compared to the other groups. The motivation level increased in all three feedback groups and was observed in the following order: ART group > MVFT group > TBT group > control group. This study highlighted the most effective method that may be applied for home training during and after this period of the pandemic. The findings revealed that training while receiving real-time feedback via AR devices improves both physical performance and motivation. Augmented reality-based training can be used as an effective training option for improving physical activity and motivation and can be suggested for home training programs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To conduct a review of the current state of the evidence for rehabilitation strategies post-fragility fracture. METHODS Narrative review conducted by the Rehabilitation Working Group of the International Osteoporosis Foundation Committee of Scientific Advisors characterizing the range of rehabilitation modalities instrumental for the management of fragility fractures. RESULTS Multi-modal exercise post-fragility fracture to the spine and hip is strongly recommended to reduce pain, improve physical function, and improve quality of life. Outpatient physiotherapy post-hip fracture has a stronger evidence base than outpatient physiotherapy post-vertebral fracture. Appropriate nutritional care after fragility fracture provides a large range of improvement in morbidity and mortality. Education increases understanding of osteoporosis which in turn increases utilization of other rehabilitation services. Education may improve other health outcomes such as pain and increase a patient's ability for self-advocacy. CONCLUSION Rehabilitation interventions are inter-reliant, and research investigating the interaction of exercise, nutrition, and other multi-modal therapies may increase the relevance of rehabilitation research to clinical care.

Many inpatients may not be physically prepared for community ambulation on discharge from a publicly funded rehabilitation centre: a cross-sectional cohort study. Disabil Rehabil 2021; 43:3672-3679. [PMID: 32250178 DOI: 10.1080/09638288.2020.1745906] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2020] [Revised: 02/23/2020] [Accepted: 03/18/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE We assessed the ability of patients discharging home from inpatient rehabilitation to meet criteria for community ambulation. METHODS Cross-sectional observational study design. Participants were assessed, within 48-hours of discharge on their ability to: ascend/descend three steps, walk at a speed of 0.44 m/s, ascend/descend a slope, ascend/descend a kerb, and walk 315 m continuously. Demographic data were collected from medical records. Multiple logistic regression determined factors predictive of meeting criteria. RESULTS Of 200 participants (mean 73 years, 66% women, mixed diagnosis), 64 (32%) met all criteria. The least commonly met criteria were walking 315 m continuously (37%) and ascending/descending steps (70%). Participants who were female (OR: 0.27, 95%CI: 0.12-0.61), with a high comorbidity index (OR: 0.71, 95%CI: 0.56-0.91) or a traumatic orthopaedic diagnosis (OR: 0.22, 95%CI: 0.05-0.96) were less likely to meet all criteria. Participants with a higher admission functional independence walk item score (OR: 1.37, 95%CI: 1.05-1.78) or higher ambulatory self-confidence (OR: 1.02, 95%CI: 1.01-1.04) were more likely to meet all criteria. CONCLUSIONS Approximately, one-third of inpatients discharged home from a publicly funded rehabilitation centre met the community ambulation criteria, suggesting many may not be physically prepared to participate in their community.Implications for RehabilitationOnly about one in three inpatients discharging home from a publicly funded rehabilitation centre met physical criteria for community ambulation.Patients discharging home from inpatient rehabilitation have most difficulty walking long distances (≥315 m) compared to other criteria required for community ambulation (i.e., walking at a speed of 0.44 m/s, stepping up/down a kerb, ascending/descending a slope and ascending/descending three steps) and rehabilitation during this phase may require an increased focus on improving walking endurance/physical activity.Women with a high co-morbidity index, traumatic orthopaedic diagnosis, low self-confidence with ambulation on discharge and who require more assistance with walking on admission are least likely to meet the physical criteria for community ambulation at discharge, and therefore may require additional rehabilitation or supports.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the effect of using an educational booklet and a video alone or together in promoting maternal self-efficacy to prevent childhood diarrhea. DESIGN AND SAMPLE Randomized multicenter clinical trial with 522 mothers of children under 5 years of age from northeastern Brazil. They were allocated into eight groups, according to the city: metropolis - video alone (N = 61), booklet alone (N = 60), booklet and video along (N = 60), without intervention (N = 60); countryside - booklet alone (N = 70), video alone (N = 70), booklet and video along (N = 71), without intervention (N = 70). MEASUREMENTS A sociodemographic form and the Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale for preventing early childhood diarrhea. RESULTS Increases in self-efficacy scores were observed in all experimental groups after the educational intervention. Urban mothers living had greater self-efficacy than rural mothers. This result was verified in the video alone group (p = .036) and without intervention group (p = .003). Mothers in all intervention groups, regardless of the educational intervention used, had higher self-efficacy scores than the comparison group mothers (p < .05). CONCLUSION The tested educational technologies promoted maternal self-efficacy to prevent childhood diarrhea, regardless of whether they are applied alone or in combination.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to determine the impact of MI on self-efficacy, beliefs about medicines and medication adherence among adolescents with asthma. METHOD This randomized controlled trial conducted on 52 adolescents with asthma referring to the Pediatric Medical Center in Tehran, Iran. They were randomly assigned to the control and intervention groups. The educational intervention consisted of 3 one-hour sessions per week, which was held individually in the areas of medication adherence, beliefs about medicines and self-efficacy. Four validated questionnaires including demographic characteristics, medication adherence, self-efficacy and beliefs about medicines were completed by self-report both before the MI and 40 days after the end of the intervention. RESULTS In the baseline, the two groups were homogeneous in terms of demographic characteristics and outcome measures. At the post-test, the mean scores of the three outcome measures in the intervention group were reported higher compared to the scores in the control group (p < 0.05). The difference between the mean scores in medication adherence, beliefs about medicines and self-efficacy in the post-test between the two groups, even with the elimination of the effect pre-test scores, were significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The results of this study showed that MI can be effective in improving medication adherence, beliefs about medicines, and self-efficacy. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The primary goal in the treatment of patients with asthma is asthma control by using corticosteroids. MI is one of the interventions that can simultaneously provide motivation, readiness, beliefs about medicine and self-efficacy for behavioral changes (medication adherence) in patients with asthma.

Abstract
Background One in four older adults in Denmark and almost half of the very old above 75 do not meet the World Health Organization’s recommendations for a minimum of physical activity (PA). A cost-efficient and effective way to increase focus on and motivation for daily walking might be to use Physical Activity Monitors (PAMs) in combination with behavioural change intervention. Thus, the objective of this randomized controlled study was to investigate the effect of Motivational Interviewing (MI) as an add-on intervention to a PAM-based intervention measured in community-dwelling older adults. Methods This two-arm parallel group randomized controlled effectiveness trial compared a 12-weeks PAM-based intervention with additional MI (PAM+MI group) with a PAM-based intervention alone (PAM group). The primary outcome, average daily step count, was analysed with a linear regression model, adjusted for sex and baseline daily step count. Following the intention-to-treat principle, multiple imputation based on baseline step count, sex and age was performed. Results In total, 38 participants were randomized to the PAM intervention and 32 to the PAM+MI intervention arm. During the intervention period, PAM+MI participants walked on average 909 more steps per day than PAM participants, however insignificant (95%CI: − 71; 1889) and reported 2.3 points less on the UCLA Loneliness Scale (95%CI: − 4.5; − 1.24). Conclusion The use of MI, in addition to a PAM-based intervention among older adults in PA promoting interventions hold a potential clinically relevant effect on physical activity and should thus be investigated further with adequately powered RCTs. Trial registration This study was pre-registered in the clinicaltrials.gov database with identifier: NCT03906162.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Community-dwelling people recovering from hip fracture have the physical capacity to walk in their community but lack the confidence to do so. The primary aim of this trial is to determine whether motivational interviewing increases time spent walking at 12 months in community-dwelling people after hip fracture compared with an attention placebo control group. Secondary aims are to evaluate cost effectiveness, patient and health service outcomes and to complete a process evaluation. METHODS AND ANALYSIS An assessor-blinded parallel group randomised controlled design with embedded health economic evaluation and process evaluation will compare the effects of n=270 participants randomly allocated to an experimental group (motivational interviewing) or a control group (dietary advice). For inclusion, participants are aged ≥65 years, living at home independently within 6 months of discharge from hospital after hip fracture and able to walk independently and communicate with conversational English. Key exclusion criteria are severe depression or anxiety, impaired intellectual functioning and being medically unstable to walk. Participants allocated to the experimental group will receive 10 (8 weekly and 2 booster) telephone-based sessions of motivational interviewing to increase walking over 16 weeks. Participants allocated to the control group will receive an equivalent dose of telephone-based dietary advice. The primary outcome is daily time spent walking over 7 days assessed at weeks 0, 9, 26 and 52. Secondary outcomes include measures of psychological-related function, mobility-related function, community participation, health-related quality of life and falls. Health service utilisation and associated costs will be assessed. Process evaluation will assess the fidelity of the motivational interviewing intervention and explore contextual factors through semistructured interviews. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval obtained from Eastern Health (E19-002), Peninsula Health (50261/EH-2019), Alfred Health (617/20) and La Trobe University (E19/002/50261). The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals, conference presentations and public seminars. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12619000936123.

Abstract
Hip fractures are an important socio-economic problem in western countries. Over the past 60 years orthogeriatric care has improved the management of older patients admitted to hospital after suffering hip fractures. Quality of care in orthogeriatric co-management units has increased, reducing adverse events during acute admission, length of stay, both in-hospital and mid-term mortality, as well as healthcare and social costs. Nevertheless, a large number of areas of controversy regarding the clinical management of older adults admitted due to hip fracture remain to be clarified. This narrative review, centered in the last 5 years, combined the search terms "hip fracture", "geriatric assessment", "second hip fracture", "surgery", "perioperative management" and "orthogeriatric care", in order to summarise the state of the art of some questions such as the optimum analgesic protocol, the best approach for treating anemia, the surgical options recommendable for each type of fracture and the efficiency of orthogeriatric co-management and functional recovery.

Abstract
Hintergrund Sensoren erlauben eine durchgehende Mobilitätsbeobachtung von Patienten nach hüftnahen Frakturen. Fitnessarmbänder ermöglichen unterbrechungs- und einschränkungsarme Längsschnittbeobachtungen der geriatrischen Zielgruppe. Ziel der Arbeit Deskriptive Darstellung der Schritte pro Tag (SpT) nach Hüftfrakturoperation auf der geriatrischen Traumastation und darüber hinaus. Material und Methoden Die explorative Studie mit Feldcharakter beobachtete über 10 Wochen die SpT von 20 Patienten (80 % weiblich, Durchschnittsalter 85,2 Jahre ± 7,86) via Fitnesstracker. Tägliche Schrittzahlen (SpT) werden für Patienten als wöchentlicher Durchschnittswert (Tage 1–7, 8–14 usw.) gebildet, bevor die deskriptive Analyse erfolgt. Ergebnisse Es erfolgt eine positive Entwicklung im Laufe der Beobachtungswochen (BW). Von BW 1 (M = 353,57 ± 310,15) bis 10 (M = 2482,07 ± 1374,12) erfolgt ein durchschnittlicher Anstieg um den Faktor 1,285 (±0,351). Die höchsten Anstiege um das je 1,8-Fache sind von BW 2 (M = 556,27 ± 478,11) auf BW 3 (M = 1024,86 ± 921,24) sowie von 6 (M = 1268,21 ± 880,47) auf 7 (M = 2367,14 ± 1680,08) zu beobachten. Geringfügig verringern sich die Schritte von BW 4 (M = 1208,27 ± 1210,45) auf 5 (0,99-fach) und von BW 9 (M = 2689,98 ± 2339,71) auf 10 (0,92-fach). Es sind stets hohe Spannweiten sowie Standardabweichungen in Anbetracht der Mittelwerte vorhanden. Es lässt auf das Vorhandensein mehrerer Gruppen der Schritteentwicklung schließen. Diskussion Fitnesstracker und die Variable SpT können die Gehfähigkeit in der Alltagsumgebung abbilden, bei einem möglichen Unterschätzen < 10 %. Es treten Unterschiede in Beobachtungsdauer sowie -unterbrechungen auf. Eine Clusteranalyse sollte zukünftig Gruppenmerkmale unterschiedlicher Entwicklungsverläufe aufdecken.

Abstract
Hip fracture is a leading cause of profound morbidity in individuals aged 65 years and older, ranking in the top 10 causes of loss of disability-adjusted life-years for older adults. Worldwide, the number of people with hip fracture is expected to rise significantly due to the aging population and other factors. Physical therapist management is recommended within medical, surgical, and multidisciplinary clinical practice guideline (CPGs) and is considered to be the standard of care in rehabilitation for people with hip fracture. The goal of this CPG was to review the evidence relevant to physical therapist management and to provide evidence-based recommendations for physical therapy diagnosis, prognosis, intervention, and assessment of outcome in adults with hip fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine if three short daily sessions of physiotherapy for rehabilitation inpatients after hip fracture is more effective than providing one long daily session in improving mobility. DESIGN A single-blinded randomised controlled trial. SETTING Two inpatient rehabilitation wards at a hospital in Melbourne, Australia. PARTICIPANTS Seventy-six rehabilitation inpatients after hip fracture. The key exclusion criterion was not being allowed to weight bear. INTERVENTIONS All participants received multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Experimental participants received three 15-minute sessions of physiotherapy 5 days per week until discharge. Control participants received one 45-minute session of physiotherapy 5 days per week until discharge. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The primary outcome, mobility, was assessed with the de Morton Mobility Index 2 weeks after admission and at discharge. Secondary outcomes were Functional Independence Measure mobility (transfers, ambulation, steps), physical activity measured with an accelerometer, length of stay, discharge destination, readmissions within 30 days of discharge, and patient and physiotherapist satisfaction. RESULTS Sixty-seven (88%) participants completed mobility assessment at discharge and 34 (45%) at 2 weeks. There were a greater proportion of missed sessions in the experimental group (84% adherence vs 95%). There was no between-group difference in mobility at discharge (MD -1.9 points, 95%CI-6.9 to 3.2) or at 2 weeks (MD -3.5 points, 95%CI-15.4 to 8.4). There were no between-group differences in any secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Providing inpatient physiotherapy rehabilitation in three shorter sessions resulted in more missed sessions and likely did not improve mobility outcomes compared with providing one longer session for patients recovering from hip fracture.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Uptake of sufficient physical activity before and after radical cystectomy is important to improve physical and psychosocial outcomes in bladder cancer (BC) patients. METHODS In this paper, we describe the development of an evidence-based and theory-informed intervention, guided by the steps of the Intervention Mapping approach, to promote physical activity before and after radical cystectomy in patients with BC. RESULTS The intervention is a home-based physical activity program. The preoperative timeframe of the intervention is 4 or 12 weeks, depending on administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Postoperatively, the intervention will last for 12 weeks. The intervention consists of a digital oncological platform (DOP), several consultations with healthcare professionals, personal booklet and follow-up phone calls. DOP includes information, diaries, visual representation of progress, mailbox, videos of peers and treating physician explaining the benefits of physical activity, photo material of exercises and a walking program with an activity tracker. Individual goals will be set and will be self-monitored by the patient through DOP. Patients will receive alerts and regular feedback. CONCLUSIONS Intervention Mapping ensures transparency of all intervention components and offers a useful approach for the development of behaviour change interventions for cancer patients and for translation of theories into practice.

Abstract
AIM Youth with cerebral palsy generally participate in less physical activity than typically developing peers. In adults with physical disabilities, balance confidence is a strong predictor of participation and community re-integration. However, balance confidence has not been studied in youth with cerebral palsy. METHOD Qualitative descriptive methodology with interviews of eight youth with cerebral palsy (9-17 years old, three girls) in Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels I-III, and eight parents (five mothers) of youth with cerebral palsy (9-17 years old, two girls) in Levels I-III. RESULTS Three themes arose: (1) youth in Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels I-II are more concerned about losing their balance during physical activities than those in Level III; (2) when balance is lost, embarrassment and frustration are more common than fear, especially for those in Levels I-II; and (3) social factors can create a favorable participation environment when balance confidence is low, especially for youth in Levels I-II. CONCLUSION Balance confidence may have greater influence on physical activity participation for youth in Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels I-II than those in Level III. Youth in Levels I-II may draw greater benefit from interventions targeting balance confidence when addressing physical activity goals.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONBalance confidence may have a greater influence on activity avoidance for youth with cerebral palsy in Gross Motor Function Classification System Levels I and II (who are independently ambulatory without walkers or cane(s)) than for those in Level II (who use walkers or cane(s) to ambulate).Youth who are independently ambulatory without walkers or cane(s) may benefit more from interventions directed at balance confidence (e.g., enactive mastery and verbal persuasion) to address their physical activity participation goals.For youth who are independently ambulatory without walkers or cane(s), addressing factors that could reduce the influence of balance confidence on physical activity participation, such as providing a positive and supportive social environment in which to participate, may be beneficial.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Mobility limitation is common and often results from neurological and musculoskeletal health conditions, ageing and/or physical inactivity. In consultation with consumers, clinicians and policymakers, we have developed two affordable and scalable intervention packages designed to enhance physical activity for adults with self-reported mobility limitations. Both are based on behaviour change theories and involve tailored advice from physiotherapists. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This pragmatic hybrid effectiveness-implementation type 1 randomised control trial (n=600) will be undertaken among adults with self-reported mobility limitations. It aims to estimate the effects on physical activity of: (1) an enhanced 6-month intervention package (one face-to-face physiotherapy assessment, tailored physical activity plan, physical activity phone coaching from a physiotherapist, informational/motivational resources and activity monitors) compared with a less intensive 6-month intervention package (single session of tailored phone advice from a physiotherapist, tailored physical activity plan, unidirectional text messages, informational/motivational resources); (2) the enhanced intervention package compared with no intervention (6-month waiting list control group); and (3) the less intensive intervention package compared with no intervention (waiting list control group). The primary outcome will be average steps per day, measured with the StepWatch Activity Monitor over a 1-week period, 6 months after randomisation. Secondary outcomes include other physical activity measures, measures of health and functioning, individualised mobility goal attainment, mental well-being, quality of life, rate of falls, health utilisation and intervention evaluation. The hybrid effectiveness-implementation design (type 1) will be used to enable the collection of secondary implementation outcomes at the same time as the primary effectiveness outcome. An economic analysis will estimate the cost-effectiveness and cost-utility of the interventions compared with no intervention and to each other. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval has been obtained by Sydney Local Health District, Royal Prince Alfred Zone. Dissemination will be via publications, conferences, newsletters, talks and meetings with health managers. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ACTRN12618001983291.

The MIPAM trial: a 12-week intervention with motivational interviewing and physical activity monitoring to enhance the daily amount of physical activity in community-dwelling older adults - a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. BMC Geriatr 2020; 20:412. [PMID: 33081715 PMCID: PMC7576698 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-020-01815-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/05/2020] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Physical Activity Monitors (PAMs) have been shown to effectively enhance level of physical activity (PA) in older adults. Motivational interviewing is a person-centred model where participants are guided using self-reflection and counselling, and addresses the behavioural and psychological aspects of why people initiate health behaviour change by prompting increases in motivation and self-efficacy. The addition of motivational interviewing to PA interventions may increase the effectiveness of PAMs for older adults. METHODS This motivational interviewing and PA monitoring trial is designed as an investigator-blinded, two arm parallel group, randomized controlled superiority trial with primary endpoint after 12 weeks of intervention. The intervention group will receive a PAM-based intervention and motivational interviewing and the control group will only receive the PAM-based intervention. The primary outcome is PA, objectively measured as the average daily number of steps throughout the intervention period. Secondary outcome measures include self-reported PA health-related quality of life, loneliness, self-efficacy for exercise, outcome expectancy for exercise, and social relations. The outcomes will be analysed with a linear regression model investigating between-group differences, adjusted for baseline scores. Following the intention to treat principle, multiple imputation will be performed to handle missing values. DISCUSSION A moderate effect of daily PA measured using PAMs is expected in this superiority RCT investigating the effect of adding motivational interviewing to a PAM intervention. According to the World Health Organization, walking and cycling are key activities in regular PA and should be promoted. To increase the general public health and lower the burden of inactivity in older adults, cost-beneficial solutions should be investigated further. If this RCT shows that motivational interviewing can enhance the effect of PAM-based interventions, it might be included as an add-on intervention when appropriate. No matter what the results of this study will be, the conclusions will be relevant for clinicians as the dependence on technology is increasing, especially in relation to public health promotion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Disability and falls are common following fall-related lower limb and pelvic fractures. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of an exercise self-management intervention on mobility-related disability and falls after lower limb or pelvic fracture. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS Three hundred thirty-six community dwellers aged 60+ years within 2 years of lower limb or pelvic fracture recruited from hospitals and community advertising. INTERVENTIONS RESTORE (Recovery Exercises and STepping On afteR fracturE) intervention (individualized, physiotherapist-prescribed home program of weight-bearing balance and strength exercises, fall prevention advice) versus usual care. MAIN MEASURES Primary outcomes were mobility-related disability and rate of falls. KEY RESULTS Primary outcomes were available for 80% of randomized participants. There were no significant between-group differences in mobility-related disability at 12 months measured by (a) Short Physical Performance Battery (continuous version, baseline-adjusted between-group difference 0.08, 95% CI - 0.01 to 0.17, p = 0.08, n = 273); (b) Activity Measure Post Acute Care score (0.18, 95% CI - 2.89 to 3.26, p = 0.91, n = 270); (c) Late Life Disability Instrument (1.37, 95% CI - 2.56 to 5.32, p = 0.49, n = 273); or in rate of falls over the 12-month study period (incidence rate ratio 0.96, 95% CI 0.69 to 1.34, n = 336, p = 0.83). Between-group differences favoring the intervention group were evident in some secondary outcomes: balance and mobility, fall risk (Physiological Profile Assessment tool), physical activity, mood, health and community outings, but these should be interpreted with caution due to risk of chance findings from multiple analyses. CONCLUSIONS No statistically significant intervention impacts on mobility-related disability and falls were detected, but benefits were seen for secondary measures of balance and mobility, fall risk, physical activity, mood, health, and community outings.

Association between physical activity and short-term physical function changes after hip fracture: An observational study. PHYSIOTHERAPY RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 26:e1876. [PMID: 32918389 DOI: 10.1002/pri.1876] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2019] [Revised: 04/18/2020] [Accepted: 08/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To investigate whether physical activity levels are predictive of short-term changes in physical function for people discharged to independent living in the community following withdrawal of rehabilitation services after hip fracture; and to describe short-term recovery in physical activity, physical function, walking confidence, health-related quality of life and walking participation. METHODS This prospective cohort study comprised 57 older adults (39 females, mean age 80.4, SD 8.4 years) living independently in the community after hip fracture. Accelerometer-based physical activity, physical function (Functional Independence Measure [FIM], de Morton Mobility Index, Frenchay Activities Index and Participation in outdoor walking), walking confidence and health-related quality of life were measured after discharge from rehabilitation services (baseline) and 12 weeks later. Multiple linear regression analyses determined the ability of physical activity (daily steps), walking self-confidence, health-related quality of life and demographic factors (age, sex and time since fracture) to predict Week 12 physical function using Week 0 physical function as a covariate. RESULTS Participants at baseline averaged 4439 daily steps which did not change 12 weeks later. There were small increases in all measures of physical function and walking confidence, but not health-related quality of life. Increased walking self-confidence was associated with an increase in FIM total, FIM mobility and de Morton Index scores. Physical activity did not predict change in measures of physical function. CONCLUSIONS Walking confidence of adults discharged from rehabilitation services after hip fracture had a greater association with short-term recovery of physical function than level of physical activity. Community-dwelling adults continue to make small short-term improvements in physical function and walking confidence after discharge home and withdrawal of rehabilitation services.

Embedded Motivational Interviewing combined with a smartphone app to increase physical activity in people with sub-acute low back pain: Study protocol of a cluster randomised control trial. Contemp Clin Trials Commun 2020; 17:100511.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Motivational Interviewing is an evidence-based, client-centred counselling technique that has been used effectively to increase physical activity, including for people with low back pain. One barrier to implementing Motivational Interviewing in health care settings more broadly is the extra treatment time with therapists. The aim of this paper is to describe the design of a cluster randomised controlled trial evaluating the effect of an intervention that pairs Motivational Interviewing embedded into usual physiotherapy care with a specifically designed app to increase physical activity in people with sub-acute low back pain. METHODS The study is a cluster randomised controlled in which patients aged over 18 years who have sub-acute low back pain (3-12 weeks duration) are recruited from four public hospital outpatient clinics. Based on the recruitment site, participants either receive usual physiotherapy care or the Motivational Interviewing intervention over 6 consecutive weekly outpatient sessions with a specifically designed app designed to facilitate participant-led physical activity behaviour change in between sessions. Outcome measures assessed at baseline and 7 weeks are: physical activity as measured by accelerometer (primary outcome), and pain-related activity restriction and pain self-efficacy (secondary outcomes). Postintervention interviews with physiotherapists and participants will be conducted as part of a process evaluation. DISCUSSION This intervention, which comprises trained physiotherapists conducting conversations about increasing physical activity with their patients in a manner consistent with Motivational Interviewing as part of usual care combined with a specifically designed app, has potential to facilitate behaviour change with minimal extra therapist time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hip fracture is a major injury that causes significant problems for affected individuals and their family and carers. Over 40% of people with hip fracture have dementia or cognitive impairment. The outcomes of these individuals after surgery are poorer than for those without dementia. It is unclear which care and rehabilitation interventions achieve the best outcomes for these people. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2013. OBJECTIVES (a) To assess the effectiveness of models of care including enhanced rehabilitation strategies designed specifically for people with dementia following hip fracture surgery compared to usual care. (b) To assess for people with dementia the effectiveness of models of care including enhanced rehabilitation strategies that are designed for all older people, regardless of cognitive status, following hip fracture surgery, compared to usual care. SEARCH METHODS We searched ALOIS (www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/alois), the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group Specialised Register, MEDLINE (OvidSP), Embase (OvidSP), PsycINFO (OvidSP), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Web of Science Core Collection (ISI Web of Science), LILACS (BIREME), ClinicalTrials.gov, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform on 16 October 2019. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised and quasi-randomised controlled trials evaluating the effectiveness of any model of enhanced care and rehabilitation for people with dementia after hip fracture surgery compared to usual care. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently selected trials for inclusion and extracted data. We assessed risk of bias of the included trials. We synthesised data only if we considered the trials to be sufficiently homogeneous in terms of participants, interventions, and outcomes. We used the GRADE approach to rate the overall certainty of evidence for each outcome. MAIN RESULTS We included seven trials with a total of 555 participants. Three trials compared models of enhanced care in the inpatient setting with conventional care. Two trials compared an enhanced care model provided in inpatient settings and at home after discharge with conventional care. Two trials compared geriatrician-led care in-hospital to conventional care led by the orthopaedic team. None of the interventions were designed specifically for people with dementia, therefore the data included in the review were from subgroups of people with dementia or cognitive impairment participating in randomised controlled trials investigating models of care for all older people following hip fracture. The end of follow-up in the trials ranged from the point of acute hospital discharge to 24 months after discharge. We considered all trials to be at high risk of bias in more than one domain. As subgroups of larger trials, the analyses lacked power to detect differences between the intervention groups. Furthermore, there were some important differences in baseline characteristics of participants between the experimental and control groups. Using the GRADE approach, we downgraded the certainty of the evidence for all outcomes to low or very low. The effect estimates for almost all comparisons were very imprecise, and the overall certainty for most results was very low. There were no data from any study for our primary outcome of health-related quality of life. There was only very low certainty for our other primary outcome, activities of daily living and functional performance, therefore we were unable to draw any conclusions with confidence. There was low-certainty that enhanced care and rehabilitation in-hospital may reduce rates of postoperative delirium (odds ratio 0.04, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.01 to 0.22, 2 trials, n = 141) and very low-certainty associating it with lower rates of some other complications. There was also low-certainty that, compared to orthopaedic-led management, geriatrician-led management may lead to shorter hospital stays (mean difference 4.00 days, 95% CI 3.61 to 4.39, 1 trial, n = 162). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS We found limited evidence that some of the models of enhanced rehabilitation and care used in the included trials may show benefits over usual care for preventing delirium and reducing length of stay for people with dementia who have been treated for hip fracture. However, the certainty of these results is low. Data were available from only a small number of trials, and the certainty for all other results is very low. Determining the optimal strategies to improve outcomes for this growing population of patients should be a research priority.

What Is the Effect of Health Coaching Delivered by Physical Therapists? A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials. Phys Ther 2019; 99:1354-1370. [PMID: 31309976 DOI: 10.1093/ptj/pzz098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2019] [Revised: 01/04/2019] [Accepted: 02/24/2019] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Health coaching has emerged as an intervention for improving health behaviors. Given the recent increased integration of health coaching into physical therapist practice, there has been a subsequent rise in research examining the effects of health coaching provided by physical therapists. However, there is a lack of literature summarizing the effectiveness of health coaching delivered by physical therapists in changing patient health behaviors. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to systematically review the effects of health coaching delivered by physical therapists on promoting participant health behaviors. DATA SOURCES Cochrane, CINAHL, MEDLINE, PEDro, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to May 26, 2018, to identify randomized controlled trials examining the effects of health coaching delivered by physical therapists. STUDY SELECTION Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full texts according to inclusion and exclusion criteria to determine study eligibility. DATA EXTRACTION Methodological quality was assessed using Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scores. Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration risk-of-bias assessment tool. Data were extracted using a standardized data extraction form describing study methods, design, and outcomes. DATA SYNTHESIS Eleven trials met the inclusion criteria for this study. Health coaching produced positive effects on physical activity (6 studies) as well as physiological and psychological secondary outcomes. LIMITATIONS The inclusion of only 11 randomized controlled trials in this review could limit the generalizability of the findings. The heterogeneity of the findings precluded the performance of a meta-analysis. CONCLUSIONS Research on the effectiveness of health coaching delivered by physical therapists on health behavior outcomes is mixed. Data indicate statistically significant changes in some health behavior, physiological, and psychological outcomes.

Abstract
The objective of this review is to evaluate the effectiveness of digital health supported targeted patient communication versus usual provision of health information, on the recovery of fragility fractures. The review considered studies including older people, aged 50 and above, with a fragility fracture. The primary outcome was prevention of secondary fractures by diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis, and its adherence. This review considered both experimental and quasi-experimental study designs. A comprehensive search strategy was built to identify key terms including Medical subject headings (MeSH) and applied to the multiple electronic databases. An intention to treat analysis was applied to those studies included in the meta-analysis and odds ratio was calculated with random effects. Altogether, 15 studies were considered in the final stage for this systematic review. Out of these, 10 studies were Randomised controlled trials (RCT) and five were quasi experimental studies, published between the years 2003 and 2016 with a total of 5037 participants. Five Randomised control trails were included in the meta-analysis suggesting that digital health supported interventions were overall, twice as effective when compared with the usual standard care (OR 2.13, 95% CI 1.30–3.48), despite the population sample not being homogeneous. Findings from the remaining studies were narratively interpreted.

Abstract
Practice development enables practitioners to develop their knowledge and allows the application of evidence-based care for their patients. It happens within the practitioner's own clinical practice area and enhances personal and professional growth whilst focusing on patients' specific needs. This is important when working with patients in the rehabilitation phase following fragility hip fracture whose care should be provided by practitioners knowledgeable about the best way to approach their needs. This article, which followed the methods for a scoping review, aims to provide the practitioner with an overview of rehabilitation interventions for patients following hip fracture discussed in the literature. There is an introduction to the nature of rehabilitation and the issues raised for the patient with a hip fracture, a discussion of the existing literature, and recommendations for practice based on both that evidence and a pragmatic approach to care. Scoping reviews provide overviews of broad topic areas (Peterson et al., 2017). This gives the reader the opportunity to consider how other factors, besides research evidence, can contribute to best practice and to reflect on how their own practice needs to develop. At the end of the discussion, an overview of pragmatic recommendations for practice is provided based on the findings of the literature considered. Some points for individual reflection are also provided to help the practitioner to consider how the contents of the paper might impact on their own practice.

Abstract
Objective:To investigate the safety and effectiveness of augmenting physiotherapy with family-assisted therapy, to inform a future, fully powered trial.Design:Parallel pilot randomized controlled trial.Setting:Transition Care Program.Participants:Thirty-five older adults with multimorbidity, recently hospitalized, with a mean age of 84.1 years (SD = 6.1 years) and mean Modified Barthel Index of 67.8 units (SD = 19.2 units), and 40 family members.Interventions:The control group ( n = 18) received usual physiotherapy care. The experimental group ( n = 17) received usual physiotherapy care and family-assisted therapy from a family member trained by a physiotherapist.Main measures:Primary outcomes were falls-related self-efficacy measured by the Short Falls Efficacy Scale – International and falls during the intervention period. Secondary outcomes included daily steps, EQ-5D-3L (three-level version of the EuroQoL five-dimensional health-related quality of life questionnaire) and ICECAP-O (ICEpop CAPability measure for Older people), Modified Barthel Index and Modified Caregiver Strain Index.Results:There were no between-group differences for falls-related self-efficacy. Relative to the control group, the experimental group was observed to have a reduced risk of falling (relative risk = 0.38, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.09–1.60) and a reduced falls rate (incidence rate ratio = 0.22, 95% CI = 0.04–1.20) was of borderline statistical significance. The experimental group walked a mean of 944 daily steps more than the control group (95% CI = 139–1748) and had a significant reduction in activity limitation. There were no between-group differences for quality of life or caregiver strain.Conclusion:Augmenting physiotherapy with family-assisted therapy is feasible for older people transitioning from hospital to the community. A fully powered randomized controlled trial is indicated.

Compendium of Health and Wellness Coaching: 2019 Addendum. Am J Lifestyle Med 2019; 14:155-168. [PMID: 32231482 DOI: 10.1177/1559827619850489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2019] [Revised: 03/22/2019] [Accepted: 04/24/2019] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The 2019 Addendum, in conjunction with the original health and wellness coaching (HWC) Compendium, organizes HWC literature with the aim of assisting researchers while providing a resource for practitioners. The 2019 Addendum to the HWC Compendium extends the initial work by adding HWC-related literature published in the past 2 years. The 2019 Addendum divides articles retrieved into 8 categories, including a new miscellaneous section complementing categories examining HWC effects on cancer, cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, obesity, and wellness. The 2019 Addendum again provides in-depth information about the nature, quality, and results from each article in a detailed spreadsheet provided as an electronic appendix. The 2019 Addendum contributes another 104 peer-reviewed coaching-related articles to the HWC Compendium. This most recent research again describes HWC as a favorable intervention with treatment potential in all categories, though only 3 new cancer articles were included in the 2019 Addendum. Trends in HWC (ie, e-coaching and group coaching) are identified, and there is also discussion of future research needs. In conclusion, the field of HWC continues to grow, as does the research describing this clinical practice; the 2019 Addendum to the Compendium of HWC organizes and assists understanding of this literature.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to evaluate the prevalence and determinants of inadequate physical activity and excessive sedentary behaviour before and after total knee replacement. DESIGN, SETTING AND SUBJECTS Secondary analysis was performed on data from a cohort of 422 adults (45-74 years), drawn from 12 public or private hospitals, undergoing primary unilateral or bilateral total knee replacement surgery. MAIN MEASURES Questionnaires were used to determine the presence of inadequate physical activity and excessive sedentary behaviour before and 6 and 12 months after total knee replacement surgery. Knee pain, activity limitations, comorbidities, muscle strength, psychological well-being, fatigue, sleep and body mass index were measured/assessed as possible determinants of physical activity or sedentary behaviour. RESULTS Before surgery, 77% ( n = 326) of the cohort participated in inadequate physical activity according to World Health Organization guidelines, and 60% ( n = 253) engaged in excessive sedentary behaviour. Twelve months after surgery, 53% ( n = 185) of the cohort engaged in inadequate physical activity and 45% ( n = 157) in excessive sedentary behaviour. Inadequate physical activity before surgery ( P = 0.02), obesity ( P = 0.07) and comorbidity score >6 ( P = 0.04) predicted inadequate physical activity 12 months after surgery. Excessive sedentary behaviour and activity limitations before surgery predicted excessive sedentary behaviour 12 months after surgery. CONCLUSION Although there were improvements after total knee replacement, 12 months after surgery about half the cohort did not meet World Health Organization recommendations for activity. Pre-surgery assessment of physical activity, activity limitations, sedentary behaviour and body mass index is essential to identify patients at risk for long-term inactivity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To synthesize evidence on older adults' sedentary behavior and physical activity during rehabilitation and recovery for hip fracture (1) across the care continuum and (2) from clinical interventions. DESIGN We conducted a systematic review of peer-reviewed publications using CINAHL, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO, and SportDiscus (last search: 17 October 2017). STUDY SELECTION We included studies that measured sedentary behavior and physical activity of older adults with hip fracture using activity monitors (e.g. accelerometers). We identified literature at Level 1 (title and abstract) and Level 2 (full text), and conducted forward and backward searches. We assessed observational studies' adherence to reporting guidelines and intervention studies' risk of bias. RESULTS We included 14 studies (882 participants). Four studies reported sedentary behavior data, while all studies reported information on physical activity. Settings included hospital, rehabilitation centers, and the community. Nine studies were observational; five were experimental design. Older adults had excessive sedentary time (>10 hours/day) and low physical activity. Participants' average upright time differed across settings. During hospital stay, it ranged 16-52 minutes/day, while in the community, it ranged 51-261 minutes/day. Data from five interventions reported on physical activity change: two studies increased between 14 and 27 minutes/day. Another study reported participants accumulated 6994 steps/day at the end of the intervention, but for two other interventions, activity was below 5000 steps/day. CONCLUSION Based on available evidence, older adults with hip fracture engage in prolonged sedentary behavior and have low levels of physical activity during rehabilitation and recovery.
