Abstract:
Objective measures of hand function have been used to assess the outcome of rehabilitation following trauma. However, subjective assessments of function have been avoided by clinicians due to the difficulty in proving their validity and reliability. We have developed a subjective hand function scoring system (HFS), based on an activities of daily living assessment, which is used in planning and monitoring progress through rehabilitation. The HFS for 64 traumatic hand injuries were assessed on admission and discharge, and a significant improvement was found. There was a positive correlation between the HFS on admission and both the severity of injury, and the length of time off work. This scoring system is not validated, but this study illustrates the use of subjective functional scoring systems in the planning, delivery and evaluation of rehabilitation.

Abstract:
Forty-two patients with 46 complete extensor tendon injuries were prospectively allocated to one of three rehabilitation regimes: static splintage; interphalangeal joint mobilization with metacarpophalangeal joint immobilization or; the “Norwich” regime. All 42 patients were operated on by one surgeon and assessed by one hand therapist. At 4 weeks the total active motion in the static splintage group was significantly reduced but by 12 weeks there was no difference between the regimes. There was no difference in total active motion between the repaired and uninjured hand at 12 weeks, with all patients achieving good or excellent results. However, grip strength at 12 weeks was significantly reduced compared to the uninjured hand after static splintage. There was no difference in hand therapy input between the regimes.

Abstract:
Reconstruction of flexor tendons anatomic continuity at the level of osteofibrous canals is one of the most challenging in hand surgery. Due to the complex anatomy of the hand and a high risk of developing postoperative adhesions choosing the optimal treatment protocol remains crucial during flexor tendons rehabilitation period. Surgeons and rehabilitation specialists agree that a number of poor results of flexor tendon surgery can be caused by a wrong postoperative treatment, violation of treatment protocols or just by the lack of adequate rehabilitation measures. The aim of this study is analysis and the description of the case history of treating the teenager with concomitant hand injury after staged reconstructive and restorative nerve and tendon surgery. Materials and methods. The study analyses the use of intratissual electric stimulation (ITES) combined with the complex of special exercises for recovery of upper extremity function at the outpatient rehabilitation stage in patients who underwent nerve and tendon surgery. The objective pain syndrome and trophic innervation of the injured extremity assessment was performed by measuring skin surface electric potential using Gerasimov’s method. The results were interpreted according to “Personalized system of assessing the results of treating trauma and orthopedic patients”. Results. “Combination treatment in the rehabilitation of the upper extremity” proved to be effective to fight pain syndrome and trophic dysfunction of the nervous system. It allows the patient to do the complex of special exercises to prevent limb contracture if used during the late rehabilitation period. It is an efficient method of preventing and treating neurotrophic dysfunctions. Conclusion. The pathogenetically substantiated method of treating upper extremity, the use of intratissual electric stimulation at the outpatient rehabilitation stage of humerus fractures prove to be effective.

Abstract:
Abstract This book's major focus is on surgical management of the hand and distal upper extremity. This book is intended to serve as a primary resource for hand surgery fellows and as a test preparation for orthopedic and plastic surgery residents (ie, boards, certificate for added qualifications, and residency examinations). In addition, it is intended to serve as a reference for hand surgeons, physical therapists, and occupational therapists involved in the care of patients with hand and distal upper-extremity disorders. For the physical therapist, the text provides insight into the medical and surgical management of the patient with a hand disorder, and, in turn, helps to provide a better understanding and rationale for therapeutic management of this patient population. However, keeping within the scope of hand surgery, this work provides very little substance for the physical therapist looking for specific information on the therapeutic management and rehabilitation of this particular patient population.

Abstract:
Psychological factors related to the treatment and rehabilitation of hand-injured patients were identified by interviewing of thirty patients under treatment. Findings were compared with those reported in the literature. Concern for inactivity, desire to return to work, and effort toward recovery were identified as significantly common factors; pain and fear of disfigurement were not. Patients perceived themselves as making the greatest effort toward recovery but not that this was the most important factor in the recovery process. Responsibility varied significantly among the early, middle, and final phases of treatment. The results of the investigation were discussed in relation to hand-rehabilitation and implications for counselling and occupational therapy.

Abstract:
Purpose. To assess a protected mobilisation programme (dynamic treatment) for proximal phalangeal fracture of the hand, irrespective of the geometry. Methods. Clinical and radiological results of 32 consecutive patients with proximal phalangeal fracture of the hand treated from January 2001 to February 2007 were evaluated. Our supervised rehabilitation programme was strictly followed to gain full range of movement of the proximal interphalangeal joint and to prevent the development of an extension lag contracture. Patients were followed up for a mean period of 15 (range, 13–16) months. Results were evaluated using the Belsky classification. Results. The results were excellent in 72% of the patients, good in 22%, and poor in 6%. Some patients defaulted follow-up, which made long-term assessment difficult. The poor results may have been related to patient non-compliance or default from rehabilitation. Many good results upgraded to excellent following further rehabilitation. Conclusion. Skeletal stability, not rigidity, is necessary for functional movements of the hand. Proximal phalangeal fractures can be effectively treated by closed methods, using the stabilising effect of soft tissues (zancolli complex–metacarpophalangeal retention apparatus) and external devices (metacarpophalangeal block splint), thus enabling bone healing and movement recovery at the same time.

Abstract:
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a patient-oriented, hand rehabilitation programme compared to a standard programme regarding functional outcomes, return to work, patient satisfaction and costs. Patients were recruited in two consecutive cohorts. One cohort received the standard treatment programme ( n = 75) and the other a programme based on principles of patient orientation ( n = 75). Data were collected at the beginning and end of rehabilitation and 6 months after discharge. Clinical variables included range of motion, grip and pinch strength. Self-reported measures included pain, upper extremity functioning, health status, satisfaction and job situation. Analysis of variance for repeated measurements was used to calculate the main effects. The patient-oriented group showed more favourable results with respect to DASH scores ( P <.05), pain ( P <.001) and patient satisfaction ( P <.0001). More patients returned to their former jobs and time off sick was reduced. We concluded that the patient-oriented approach was more effective and cost-saving.

Abstract Introduction Sparse data exists on functional outcomes of patients receiving outpatient therapy after admission with hand burns. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term outpatient occupational therapy (OT) on hand joint range of motion (ROM), activities of daily living (ADL) status, and pain after burn injury. Methods All patients with hand burns admitted to a single ABA verified burn center from January 2015 to May 2016 with properly documented outpatient OT follow up were included. Demographics (TBSA, hand dominance, mechanism), interventions (time-to-surgery, procedures), and long-term outcomes (further procedures, pain, ROM, contractures, scars, ADL) were evaluated. The effect of patient demographics and interventions on outcomes were evaluated with descriptive statistics and multivariate logistic regression. Results Of 61 patients with hand burns, 43 were referred for outpatient therapy, but only 31% (n=19) consistently presented for follow up. Mean age was 37±14 years, 74% (n=14) were male, and mean TBSA was 12%±17. Surgical management was required in 63% (n=12), and the mean time-to-surgery was 16±37 days from injury. Contractures occurred in 16% (n=3), 11% (n=2) had hypertrophic scarring, and 21% (n=4) developed both contractures and hypertrophic scarring. Of these patients, 21% (n=4) required further surgical intervention, including 3 contracture releases and 1 triamcinolone injection. Mean OT follow up was 16±14 weeks. As of the last OT note, 84% (n=16) had independent ADL function, 16% (n=3) required assistance, and none were poorly functioning. Likewise, 47% (n=9) had normal ROM, 53% (n=10) were within functional limits, and none had poor ROM. 79% (n=15) demonstrated improvement of ADL function, and 84% (n=16) had improvement of ROM. At OT intake, 68% (n=13) reported pain as a major limitation, but by end of therapy, only 21% (n=4) were limited by pain. Those with contractures or hypertrophic scars were 9.9 times less likely to have improvement in ADL status (p=.03, RR 9.9, CI 1.3–67). Conclusions Most patients referred for hand therapy after burn injury return to functional independence and have functional ROM. Applicability of Research to Practice Referral to and compliance with dedicated long-term hand therapy leads to improvements to ADL and ROM in patients admitted with hand burn injuries.

Full text
Abstract:
Compliance to strict home exercise programs is understood to be a mainstay of post-surgical flexor tendon rehabilitation. Therapists recognise the potential of poor compliance (overuse or under-use of prescribed exercise) and spontaneous movements during rehabilitation. Some therapists may suggest that compliance to specific exercise regimens and control of spontaneous or general movements are fundamentally important in optimising the rehabilitation outcomes and minimising the potential of adverse events. Yet there is little objective data to document the actual levels of exercise or spontaneous finger movement performed outside the clinical setting. The purpose of this study was to document both diary and instrumented methods of reporting finger movement during a 48hr period. Following surgical repair of the flexor tendon, subjects attending a private hand therapy clinic provided consent and reported subjective diary (n=16) data of sets and repetitions of exercise for up to 6 weeks post-operatively. Nine subjects also had instrumented data logged on 3 occasions during the first 6 weeks of rehabilitation and were not fully aware of the purpose of the instrumentation. All subjects were instructed to perform 10 passive followed by 10 active exercises every waking hour, for the first 6 weeks and were assessed on range of motion, DASH, pain and strength. Results demonstrated that patients reported, via their diaries, that they are on average 80% compliant. Parallel data logger information suggests that this figure is more likely to reflect 50% compliance. A significant (p< .05) increase in spontaneous movements in the last 2 weeks of the 6 week assessment period was detected. No significant correlation between patient's level of compliance or spontaneous movement and their outcome were detected.

Full text
Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] There have been few studies into the effects of rehabilitation following lumbar microdiscectomy and consequently little evidence of its effect, if any, on outcome. Most studies cited fall into one of two categories: research involving a spinal surgery procedure without rehabilitation, or research involving spinal surgery with a nonspecific generic 'rehabilitation' or 'physical therapy'. In an era of evidence based medicine the efficacy of specific rehabilitation protocols following defined lumbar spine surgical procedures needs to be established for surgeons, therapists and patients to have confidence that the rehabilitation is appropriate and effective. The study was proposed to investigate the outcome of a specific and novel rehabilitation protocol commenced immediately after lumbar microdiscectomy. Data collected from the research cohort were compared to data collected from a contrast group who underwent standard rehabilitation at a distant site. A retrospective study (Phase One) was carried out with a cohort of post-operative microdiscectomy patients between February 2000 and December 2002. The outcome of surgery followed by the rehabilitation protocol was assessed using validated outcome instruments. A contrast or control group was not included. After reviewing the data limitations with the design and implementation of the study were identified. A prospective study (Phase Two) was proposed and changes made in the principal outcome measure used, in the demographic data to be retrieved, the addition of pain scales, and in the exclusion of compensable patients. A contrast group was included for the prospective study. ... The study group commenced exercise and posture correction the day following surgery. There were restrictions placed on activity involving bending. The contrast group followed the advice of the surgeon in Queensland and attended rehabilitation at local physiotherapy facilities. Both groups were followed for 12 months using outcome instruments. Strict comparison between WA and QLD cohorts were limited due to sample size, however trends were observed. Data of the prospective study showed that there was greater reduction in back pain with the early rehabilitation protocol (P<.0001) compared to standard rehabilitation (P=.09), while there was no difference between groups in leg pain. There was a significant improvement in the level of functional disability between time-points for the WA cohort, and overall change from pre-operative RMQ measures to 12 months in both groups were statistically significant. The WA group was less reliant on pain medication and was more satisfied with the results of their surgery. The primary hypothesis of this study that there would be a difference in outcome following lumbar microdiscectomy in patients who receive early specific rehabilitation compared to those who receive standard rehabilitation at another centre, was supported in both primary and secondary outcome data. The key finding of this study was that commencing the early exercise protocol resulted in significantly less back pain over the 12 month time period of the study. Other major findings were that the WA cohort demonstrated significant improvement in function at all time-points and between all time-points except six to 12 months, took less pain medication and were more satisfied with the outcome of their surgery than the QLD cohort.

Abstract:
This dissertation presents the synthesis of a hand exoskeleton (HE) for the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. Through the analysis of state-of-the-art, a topological classification was proposed. Based on the proposed classification principles, the rehabilitation HEs were systematically analyzed and classified. This classification is helpful to both understand the reason of proposing certain solutions for specific applications and provide some useful guidelines for the design of a new HE, that was actually the primary motivation of this study. Further to this classification, a novel rehabilitation HE was designed to support patients in cylindrical shape grasping tasks with the aim of recovering the basic functions of manipulation. The proposed device comprises five planar mechanisms, one per finger, globally actuated by two electric motors. Indeed, the thumb flexion/extension movement is controlled by one actuator whereas a second actuator is devoted to the control of the flexion/extension of the other four fingers. By focusing on the single finger mechanism, intended as the basic model of the targeted HE, the feasibility study of three different 1 DOF mechanisms are analyzed: a 6-link mechanism, that is connected to the human finger only at its tip, an 8-link and a 12-link mechanisms where phalanges and articulations are part of the kinematic chain. The advantages and drawbacks of each mechanism are deeply analyzed with respect to targeted requirements: the 12-link mechanism was selected as the most suitable solution. The dimensional synthesis based on the Burmester theory as well as kinematic and static analyses were separately done for all fingers in order to satisfy the desired specifications. The HE was finally designed and a prototype was built. The experimental results of the first tests are promising and demonstrate the potential for clinical applications of the proposed device in robot-assisted training of the human hand for grasping functions.

Abstract:
Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Nearly 700,000 people suffered from stroke last year and two thirds of them survived but were left with any number of disabilities, one such disability is upper extremity hemiplegia. If the hand and arm doesn?t have therapy immediately after stroke, it will lose it power and muscle control, resulting in a claw like appearance and loss of function. Activities of the patient daily living will be significantly effected. Current therapy on the affected limb in the hospital is expensive and difficult to manage due to the limited amount of resources compared to the number of patients. We introduce a pneumatic actuated wearable hand and forearm device in this thesis. It is designed according to the hand and arm kinematics. It can help the patients keep power on each finger and help maintain the coordination of different fingers to achieve daily living movements. It consists of forearm brace, rehabilitation glove and artificial muscles. The custom made artificial muscles also known as McKibben Artificial Muscles are used in antagonistic pairs to control the fingers flexion and extension. The rehabilitation device is small, lightweight, home-based, and has large force capabilities. It is also affordable to the patients due to the specially designed low-cost artificial muscles. The rehabilitation device was controlled by solenoid valves in conjunction with a Mitsubishi M32/83C 16-bit micro controller. Experiments on the pneumatic elbow brace have shown that it is capable of moving each finger from full extension to flexion, to perform actions like pinching and allows the coordinated movement of two fingers.

Abstract:
The number of patients with colorectal cancer had increased dramatically in recent years (Hong Kong cancer registry, 2012), and surgical resection is the first line treatment of colorectal. To enhance patients’recovery process, there is a need to develop a comprehensive and user-friendly, with most important, an evidence-based guideline for promoting patients’ recovery process. Traditional post-operative management is associated with different postoperative complications, delayed recovery, and lengthened hospital stay. Recent research documented that using a specific rehabilitation programme focused on education; early mobilization and early diet regime could enhance patients’ recovery. Therefore, this transitional research aims to evaluate the current evidence on the effect of adopting a specific rehabilitation programme, to formulate an evidence-based guideline, assess its implementation potential, and to develop an implementation and evaluation plan. Ten related literature were retrieved from four electronic bibliographical databases. Critical appraisal had been done to ensure the quality and validity of the selected evidences. A clinical guideline is developed based upon the information from the identified high level of literature. The implementation potential is assessed based on the similarity and the readiness of the target setting to the proposed environment. It was found that the transferability of the protocol was high and it was feasible to be implemented into the target site. Little expenditure and input was expected, as the protocol was a systematic reformation of practice, rather that developing a set of totally new practice to current clinical setting. An implementation plan was then planned, which included the communication plan with all the stakeholders. After reaching a consensus among the stakeholders, a two-month pilot study will be carried out for examining the readiness before the full-scale implementation of the program. The evaluation plan of the effectiveness of the proposed program is developed. Result will be used to provide recommendation for further adjustment on the protocol to yield a better outcome. The implementation of this nurse-led rehabilitation program is suggested to be worthy of adoption in the clinical setting for bringing benefits to patients, the hospital and staffs.

Abstract:
Background: Previous research indicates that for some individuals, quality of life (QoL) post-cardiac surgery (CABG or PTCA ) declines from pre-surgery levels. Using the framework of Leventhal's Common-Sense Model, this longitudinal study examined the associations between patients' illness perceptions and coping strategies, their QoL, attendance at cardiac rehabilitation and lifestyle changes. It was hypothesised that a more negative profile of illness beliefs (weaker control beliefs, belief in more severe consequences, poorer understanding of the condition, and negative emotional representations) together with the use of more emotional coping strategies would be associated with poorer QoL. It was also hypothesised that attendance at cardiac rehabilitation would be associated with greater control beliefs, more severe consequences and a causal attribution of lifestyle. Sample and Methods: 113 patients (93 male, mean age 66 (8.93) who were about to undergo cardiac surgery were recruited from two hospitals. Questionnaire measures of illness perceptions (IPQ-R), coping (CHIP) and cardiac-specific QoL (MacNew) were administered at four time points: pre-surgery, post-surgery, post cardiac rehabilitation, and one-year follow up. Data on attendance at rehabilitation and health behaviours were collected via hospital records and patient report. Results: The best predictors of QoL were not cognitive representations of the cardiac problems, but negative emotional representations and associated emotion-focussed coping strategies, implying that an emotion-regulation intervention could be targeted to improve outcome. The predictive ability of initial QoL on QoL at later stages implies this might be best introduced pre-surgery. Having less severe consequence beliefs prior to surgery predicted greater attendance at cardiac rehabilitation. A better understanding of the cardiac condition predicted attendance at cardiac rehabilitation. There was no evidence of change in lifestyle post-rehabilitation.Discussion: The findings that emotional representations of cardiac problems and the use of emotion focussed coping strategies were predictors of quality of life suggest that interventions to foster adaptive emotion regulation may improve outcome in these patients. Findings with respect to attendance at rehabilitation varied somewhat from the previous literature, possibly because the present study sampled patients who were having elective surgery, rather than those who had recently had a heart attack. The importance of studying defined populations and also the issue of when measures are obtained in relation to cardiac events were also highlighted.

Abstract:
Objectives: The aims of this study are to answer the following questions (1) How does the pain intensity of lumbar and cervical disc surgery patients change within a postoperative time frame of 5 years? (2) Which sociodemographic, medical, work-related, and psychological factors are associated with postoperative pain in lumbar and cervical disc surgery patients? Methods: The baseline survey (T0; n = 534) was conducted 3.6 days (SD 2.48) post-surgery in the form of face-to-face interviews. The follow-up interviews were conducted 3 months (T1; n = 486 patients), 9 months (T2; n = 457), 15 months (T3; n = 438), and 5 years (T4; n = 404) post-surgery. Pain intensity was measured on a numeric rating-scale (NRS 0–100). Estimated changes to and influences on postoperative pain by random effects were accounted by regression models. Results: Average pain decreased continuously over time in patients with lumbar herniated disc (Wald Chi² = 25.97, p<0.001). In patients with cervical herniated disc a reduction of pain was observed, albeit not significant (Chi² = 7.02, p = 0.135). Two predictors were associated with postoperative pain in lumbar and cervical disc surgery patients: the subjective prognosis of gainful employment (p<0.001) and depression (p<0.001). Conclusion: In the majority of disc surgery patients, a long-term reduction of pain was observed. Cervical surgery patients seemed to benefit less from surgery than the lumbar surgery patients. A negative subjective prognosis of gainful employment and stronger depressive symptoms were associated with postoperative pain. The findings may promote multimodal rehabilitation concepts including psychological and work-related support.

Abstract:
Abstract: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is caused by median neuropathy at wrist. Clinically is present with paraesthesia in the first three or four fingers which are more pronounced during the night and at the morning and are improved by shaking or changing the position of the hand. Diagnosis is made by clinical examination and confirmed with nerve conduction studies (NCS). Conservative treatment with wrist splints, physiotherapy and corticosteroid injections are often ineffective or have only short-term effect. Furthermore, corticosteroids injections known to have potential side effects. Surgical treatment with open surgery or endoscopic release are only known to have long-term effect. However, iatrogenic injuries, scar formation, immobilisation and long rehabilitation is frequently present. Perineural injection therapy with 5% dextrose is highly effective for treatment of patients with CTS. Nevertheless, studies showed only short-term effect. For long-term effect, surgical treat-ment is advised. US guided minimally invasive carpal tunnel release is promising approach into treatment of patients with CTS with many advantages. It is true US guided procedure, it offers iden-tification of key anatomical structures, only local anaesthesia is required, no tourniquet, immobilisa-tion, wound or sutures or scar formation is present. Therefore, perineural injection therapy with 5% dextrose for short-term effect and US guided minimally invasive carpal tunnel release for long-term effect is recommended. Keywords: Carpal tunnel syndrome; Treatment; Perineural injection; 5% dextrose; US guided mini-mally invasive carpal tunnel release

Full text
Abstract:
Context: The Man-in-the-barrel syndrome is characterized by brachial diparesis with preserved lower limb strength. This syndrome is an uncommon presentation of ischemic stroke. Cardiac surgery with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) favors hemodynamic and embolic mechanisms of stroke. Case reports: Case 1 - A 51-year-old hypertensive male presented acute bilateral upper limb weakness in the immediate postoperative period of surgical correction of atrial septal defect. CPB was not performed. Neurological examination showed grade III brachial diparesis with right-sided central facial palsy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed diffusion restriction in the right pre-central gyrus, right occipitotemporal junction, and in the left perirolandic area. Case 2 – A previously healthy 53-year-old man presented grade III brachial diparesis with left-side central facial palsy in the immediate postoperative period for correction of Stanford type A aortic dissection. Surgical procedure included a synthetic tube, aortic valve repair, and 116 minutes of CPB. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed diffusion restriction in the centrum semiovale bilaterally. None of the patients had significant stenosis of intracranial or extracranial vessels in the angiographic studies. Both patients had good recovery of upper limb function with rehabilitation. We believe that hypoperfusion associated with cardiac surgery led to watershed cerebral infarction. Conclusions: The Man-in-the-barrel syndrome is a rare complication of cardiac surgery. This clinical presentation is associated with watershed stroke.

Full text
Abstract:
A prototype of a pneumatic device for rehabilitation of the hand was designed, built and tested. Progressive impairment of hand function may result from a prolonged condition of hemiparesis, such as resulting from stroke. Reduced daily use of the affected limb, spasticity and contracture contribute to progressive impairment. Physical therapy attenuates the impairment in many patients, but regular sessions of physical therapy are difficult to maintain due to the associated costs, limited insurance coverage, and necessity of being at the clinic for each session. Systems or devices suitable for home-based therapy sessions would widen the accessibility of physical therapy to more patients. However, reported therapeutic systems appear to be expensive, heavy and complicated, thus limiting their suitability for widespread application in home settings. Recent reports of pneumatic based hand therapy systems suggest a platform for hand rehabilitation that would be simpler, lighter, less expensive, and have a lower risk of safety concerns. The design utilized in this project has the affected hand encased in a glove apparatus that has an embedded air bladder positioned ventral to each of the five digits on the palmer side of the hand, such that the bladder acts to assist extension of each finger and thumb as internal air pressure increases. Several alternative designs of glove-bladder combinations were designed, fabricated and tested. An electro-pneumatic regulator (SMC Corp. of America, Noblesville, IN) controlled the pressure of air to the bladders from an air compressor. The pneumatic regulator was controlled by a custom designed and assembled microcontroller (Arduino, open source) based control system. The microcontroller controlled solenoids that functioned as valves for the passage of air to the bladders from the pneumatic regulator, one solenoid for each of the 5 bladders in a glove. Tests were done to compare alternative glove-bladder designs. For a bladder corresponding to one digit, the relations between air pressure and the resulting torque were explored using a system of weights. Moreover, for constant pressure levels, the relations between angle of a digit and torque were explored. The pneumatic hand rehabilitation system developed in this project shows promise toward development of pneumatic hand therapy systems that would be suitable for home-based therapy.

Review question / Objective: P:Adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) diagnosed with stroke based on relevant clinical examination; I:Intervention group with rTMS alone or in combination with other treatments with rTMS; C:Control group received sham treatment or no rTMS; O: Upper extremity function:the Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE); Hand function:box and block test(BBT), nine-hole peg test(NHPT), and Purdue pegboard test(PPT); S:Randomized controlled trials (rather than crossover designs). Condition being studied: In Europe, more than 1 million new cases of stroke are reported each year. The absolute number of stroke patients is expected to increase in the near future due to the progressive aging of the population. Approximately 50-80% of stroke survivors present with upper extremity dysfunction. Recovery of upper extremity function is associated with improvements in activities of daily living and mental health. However, few stroke survivors show full recovery of upper extremity function 6 months after stroke. In addition, rehabilitation has a limited impact on the recovery of hand motor function.

Abstract:
Objectives. This systematic review evaluates the rehabilitation interventions for patients who have undergone (or will undergo) total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA) for the treatment of osteoarthritis. We addressed four Key Questions (KQs): comparisons of (1) rehabilitation prior (“prehabilitation”) to TKA versus no prehabilitation, (2) comparative effectiveness of different rehabilitation programs after TKA, (3) prehabilitation prior to THA versus no prehabilitation, (4) comparative effectiveness of different rehabilitation programs after THA. Data sources and review methods. We searched Medline®, PsycINFO®, Embase®, the Cochrane Register of Clinical Trials, CINAHL®, Scopus®, and ClinicalTrials.gov from Jan 1, 2005, to May 3, 2021, to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and adequately adjusted nonrandomized comparative studies (NRCSs). We evaluated clinical outcomes selected with input from a range of stakeholders. We assessed the risk of bias and evaluated the strength of evidence (SoE) using standard methods. Meta-analysis was not feasible, and evidence was synthesized and reported descriptively. The PROSPERO protocol registration number is CRD42020199102. Results. We found 78 RCTs and 5 adjusted NRCSs. Risk of bias was moderate to high for most studies. • KQ 1: Compared with no prehabilitation, prehabilitation prior to TKA may increase strength and reduce length of hospital stay (low SoE) but may lead to comparable results in pain, range of motion (ROM), and activities of daily living (ADL) (low SoE). There was no evidence of an increased risk of harms due to prehabilitation (low SoE). • KQ 2: Various rehabilitation interventions after TKA may lead to comparable improvements in pain, ROM, and ADL (low SoE). Rehabilitation in the acute phase (initiated within 2 weeks of surgery) may lead to increased strength (low SoE) but result in similar strength when delivered in the post-acute phase (low SoE). No studies reported evidence of risk of harms due to rehabilitation delivered in the acute period following TKA. Compared with various controls, post-acute rehabilitation may not increase the risk of harms (low SoE). • KQ 3: For all assessed outcomes, there is insufficient (or no) evidence addressing the comparison between prehabilitation and no prehabilitation prior to THA. • KQ 4: Various rehabilitation interventions after THA may lead to comparable improvements in pain, strength, ADL, and quality of life. There is some evidence of no increased risk of harms due to the intervention (low SoE). • There is insufficient evidence regarding which patients may benefit from (p)rehabilitation for all KQs and insufficient evidence regarding comparisons of different providers and different settings of (p)rehabilitation for all KQs. There is insufficient evidence on costs of (p)rehabilitation and no evidence on cost effectiveness for all KQs. Conclusion. Despite the large number of studies found, the evidence regarding various prehabilitation programs and comparisons of rehabilitation programs for TKA and THA is ultimately sparse. This is a result of the diversity of interventions studied and outcomes reported across studies. As a result, the evidence is largely insufficient or of low SoE. New high-quality research is needed, using standardized intervention terminology and core outcome sets, especially to allow network meta-analyses to explore the impact of intervention attributes on patient-reported, performance-based, and healthcare-utilization outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Can Baduanjin exercise improve the cardiac rehabilitation of patients with coronary artery disease after percutaneous coronary artery surgery? Condition being studied: Coronary heart disease (CHD), also known as coronary artery disease (CAD), is the single most common cause of death globally, with 7.4 million deaths in 2013, accounting for one-third of all deaths (WHO 2014). PCI has been shown to be effective in reducing mortality in patients with CHD. During follow-up, it has been shown that the benefits of PCI can be offset by the significant risks of coronary spasm, endothelial cell injury, recurrent ischemia, and even restenosis or thrombus. Numerous guidelines endorse the necessity for cardiac rehabilitation (CR), which is recommended for patients with chronic stable angina, acute coronary syndrome and for patients following PCI. Baduanjin have been widely practised in China for centuries, and as they are considered to be low risk interventions, their use for the prevention of cardiovascular disease is now becoming more widespread. The ability of Baduanjin to promote clinically meaningful influences in patients with CHD after PCI, however, still remains unclear.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intraoperative infusion of combined 5-fluorouracil and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) for the prevention of postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy in patients with retinal detachment. Condition being studied: Postoperative proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is the primary cause of failure of retinal reattachment surgery. 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) inhibits the proliferation of fibroblasts, and suppresses collagen contraction. On the other hand, heparin reduces fibrin exudation, and inhibits the adhesion and migration of retinal pigment epithelial cells. We conduct this comprehensive literature search and meta-analysis to address whether intraoperative infusion of combined 5-FU and LWMH improves the primary success rate of pars plana vitrectomy, as well as reduces postoperative PVR. Our study aims to provide clinical evidence for retinal surgeons concerning their choice of intraoperative medication.

Full text
Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictors of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture in order to provide a reference for clinical practice. Condition being studied: Hip fracture has become a major public health issue of common concern in both developed and developing countries. and its incidence is estimated to rise to 6.26 million by 2050. Hip fracture patients are prone to various complications during treatment and rehabilitation, and pressure injury (PI) is one of the common complications of hip fracture. Studies have reported that the incidence of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture is 3.4%-59.8%. In addition, pressure injury may occur at any time when patients with hip fracture are hospitalized, which not only greatly aggregates the pain of patients, but also increases the difficulty of treatment and nursing, and seriously threatens the safety of patients. Clarifying the influencing factors of pressure injury after hip fracture will help medical staff quickly identify high-risk patients and strengthen preventive measures. However, previous studies have only discussed the influence of individual factors on the occurrence of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture from the perspectives of diabetes and early surgery, and there is still a lack of systematic analysis on the influencing factors of pressure injury in patients with hip fracture.
