International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation, 46(4) 316-324, Dec 1, 2023Ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is known to correct abnormal gait patterns and improve walking stability and speed in patients with hemiparesis. To quantify these benefits in post-stroke gait, a three-dimensional motion analysis of gait pattern was conducted. Forty patients with hemiparesis were enrolled. A three-dimensional motion analysis system was used to analyze patients' treadmill walking with/without an AFO. Outcome measures were 12 abnormal gait indices (forefoot contact, knee extensor thrust, retropulsion of the hip, flexed-knee gait, medial whip in the stance phase, circumduction gait, hip hiking, insufficient knee flexion during the swing phase, excessive lateral shifting of the trunk, contralateral vaulting, excessive hip external rotation, and posterior pelvic tilt), calculated using kinematic data and spatiotemporal indices, and the symmetry index of double-stance and single-stance time and step length. Forefoot contact (without AFO vs. with AFO: 71.0 vs. 65.8, P < 0.001), circumduction gait (65.0 vs. 57.9, P < 0.001), and contralateral vaulting (78.2 vs. 72.2, P = 0.003) were significantly reduced, whereas excessive hip external rotation (53.7 vs. 62.8, P = 0.003) significantly increased during walking with an AFO. Hip hiking (77.1 vs. 71.7) showed marginal reduction with the use of AFO ( P = 0.096). The absolute symmetry index of double-stance time (21.9 vs. 16.1, P = 0.014) significantly decreased during walking with an AFO. AFO effectively mitigates abnormal gait patterns typical of hemiparetic gait. A 3D motion analysis system with clinically oriented indices can help assess intervention efficacy for gait abnormalities.

Fujita medical journal, 9(4) 288-294, Nov, 2023OBJECTIVES: This study investigates how online frame-of-reference (FOR) training of raters of the objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for physical therapy students affects assessment accuracy. METHODS: The research was conducted in a 1-month-long randomized controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS: The participants were 36 physical therapists without experience assessing clinical skills using the OSCE. The training group completed the FOR training online, which was conducted once a week in two 90-minute sessions. The control group self-studied the rubric rating chart used in the assessment. As a measure of accuracy, weighted kappa coefficients were used to check the agreement between correct score and those assessment by the participant in the OSCE. RESULTS: The scores of the training group were higher than those of the control group in both post- and follow-up assessments, showing significant differences. No significant difference was found based on the assessment time and group for the high-agreement groups. Furthermore, scores of the low-accuracy training group were higher in the post- and follow-up assessments than those in the pre-assessment, showing significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: Online FOR training of the raters of the OSCE for physical therapists improved the assessment accuracy of the raters who had low accuracy in the pre-assessment; this improvement was maintained.

Japanese Journal of Comprehensive Rehabilitation Science, 6(2015) 137-142, Jan, 2016【目的】Hand-held dynamometerによる股関節外転筋力測定において,非測定下肢機能が測定値に与える影響を明らかにすること.【方法】健常者30名と片麻痺患者59名を対象とし,背臥位で両側股関節外転筋力を,非測定下肢を固定する方法(固定法)としない方法(非固定法)で測定した.同一法における左右および麻痺側・非麻痺側,固定法と非固定法での測定値を比較し,片麻痺患者では麻痺側筋力を従属変数,非麻痺側筋力と麻痺の程度を独立変数として重回帰分析を行った.【結果】非固定法の計測値が固定法よりも有意に小さかった.健常者では非測定下肢の固定によらず左右の相関が高かったが,片麻痺患者では非固定法において相関が低かった.重回帰分析の結果,固定法における麻痺側筋力は非麻痺側下肢機能の影響を強く受けていた.【考察】固定法では非測定下肢機能の影響を受け,測定下肢の筋力を正確に反映していないと考えられた.(著者抄録)
