Objective of the study: The long-term use of telemedical programs depends not only on their effectiveness, but also on patient acceptance and satisfaction. The effectiveness of telemedical exercise therapy for patients after implantation of a total knee or hip prosthesis and subsequent rehabilitation has already been examined in a randomized controlled study. This article focuses on the patient's acceptance and usage behaviour with regard to the tele-rehabilitation system. Methodology: 48 patients (53 +/- 7 years; 26 women; 35 hip/13 knee TEP) were questioned after a three-month telemedical movement therapy using the Telehealth Usability Questionnaire (TUQ) to determine the acceptance of the technology. The questionnaire consisted of 21 items (seven-point Likert scale) in six scales (e. g. usefulness, quality of interactions, reliability). System-specific questions were summarized on an additional scale. The results were presented as a percentage of the scale (100 estimates complete agreement). The usage behaviour was examined using system-generated process data for training and integrated voice/text messages. Results: The TUQ scales "Usefulness" (Mdn 95.2) and "Ease of use and learnability" (Mdn 92.9) were rated the highest, while "Reliability" (Mdn 57.1) and "Quality of interactions" ( Mdn 71.4) showed the lowest levels. The system-specific scale was placed in the upper quartile (Mdn 85.7). In the first week, 39 patients (81%) and in the second 45 patients (94%) performed at least one training exercise with the system. The proportion of active patients (>= 1 exercise/week) decreased in the further course to 75% (n=36) in the 7th week and 48% (n=23) in the 12th week. The system communication options were initially used frequently after the start of therapy: in the first week, 42 patients (88%) sent messages, 47 patients (98%) received messages from their therapist respectively. In week 7, 9 (19%) and 13 (27%) patients sent/received messages via the system respectively. Conclusion: Most of the patients perceived telemedical movement therapy as useful and user-friendly and seemed to be largely satisfied with the system. This proved to be well suited for short-term use of 6 to 8 weeks following subsequent rehabilitation. Ziel der Studie: Die langfristige Nutzung telemedizinischer Angebote hängt nicht nur von deren Wirksamkeit, sondern auch von der Akzeptanz und Zufriedenheit der Patienten ab. Für eine telemedizinische Bewegungstherapie für Patienten nach Implantation einer Knie- oder Hüft-Totalendoprothese und erfolgter Anschlussrehabilitation wurde die Wirksamkeit bereits in einer randomisiert kontrollierten Studie untersucht. Dieser Beitrag fokussiert die Akzeptanz und das Nutzungsverhalten der Patienten hinsichtlich des eingesetzten telerehabilitativen Systems. Methodik: Zur Erfassung der Technikakzeptanz wurden 48 Patienten (53±7 Jahre; 26 Frauen; 35 Hüft-/13 Knie-TEP) im Anschluss an eine dreimonatige telemedizinische Bewegungstherapie mittels des Telehealth Usability Questionnaire befragt. Der Fragebogen besteht aus 21 Items (siebenstufige Likert-Skala) in sechs Skalen (z. B. Nützlichkeit, Qualität der Interaktionen, Verlässlichkeit). In einer zusätzlichen Skala wurden systemspezifische Fragen zusammengefasst. Die Ergebnisse wurden als Skalenprozent (100 ≙ vollkommene Zustimmung) dargestellt. Das Nutzungsverhalten wurde anhand systemgenerierter Prozessdaten zum Training sowie zu integrierten Sprach-/Textnachrichten untersucht. Ergebnisse: Die TUQ-Skalen „Nützlichkeit“ (Mdn 95,2) sowie „Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Erlernbarkeit“ (Mdn 92,9) wurden am höchsten bewertet, während die „Verlässlichkeit“ (Mdn 57,1) und „Qualität der Interaktionen“ (Mdn 71,4) die geringsten Ausprägungen zeigten. Die systemspezifische Skala wurde im oberen Quartil eingeordnet (Mdn 85,7). In der ersten Woche führten 39 Patienten (81%), in der zweiten 45 Patienten (94%) mindestens eine Trainingsübung mit dem System durch. Der Anteil aktiver Patienten (≥1 Übung/Woche) reduzierte sich im weiteren Verlauf auf 75% (n=36) in der 7. Woche und 48% (n=23) in der 12. Woche. Die systemeigenen Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten wurden nach Therapiestart zunächst häufig genutzt: in der ersten Woche sendeten 42 Patienten (88%) Nachrichten, 47 Patienten (98%) erhielten Nachrichten von ihrem Therapeuten. In der 7. Woche sendeten/erhielten 9 (19%) bzw. 13 (27%) Patienten Nachrichten über das System. Schlussfolgerung: Die Patienten nahmen die telemedizinische Bewegungstherapie überwiegend als nützlich und benutzerfreundlich wahr und schienen im Wesentlichen mit dem System zufrieden, das sich damit für den kurzfristigen Einsatz von 6 bis 8 Wochen im Anschluss an eine Anschlussrehabilitation als gut geeignet zeigte.

Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is an increasingly popular training method and has become the focus of research in recent years. New EMS devices offer a wide range of mobile applications for whole-body EMS (WB-EMS) training, e.g., the intensification of dynamic low-intensity endurance exercises through WB-EMS. The present study aimed to determine the differences in exercise intensity between WB-EMS-superimposed and conventional walking (EMS-CW), and CON and WB-EMS-superimposed Nordic walking (WB-EMS-NW) during a treadmill test. Eleven participants (52.0 ± years; 85.9 ± 7.4 kg, 182 ± 6 cm, BMI 25.9 ± 2.2 kg/m2) performed a 10 min treadmill test at a given velocity (6.5 km/h) in four different test situations, walking (W) and Nordic walking (NW) in both conventional and WB-EMS superimposed. Oxygen uptake in absolute (VO2) and relative to body weight (rel. VO2), lactate, and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured before and after the test. WB-EMS intensity was adjusted individually according to the feedback of the participant. The descriptive statistics were given in mean ± SD. For the statistical analyses, one-factorial ANOVA for repeated measures and two-factorial ANOVA [factors include EMS, W/NW, and factor combination (EMS*W/NW)] were performed (α = 0.05). Significant effects were found for EMS and W/NW factors for the outcome variables VO2 (EMS: p = 0.006, r = 0.736; W/NW: p < 0.001, r = 0.870), relative VO2 (EMS: p < 0.001, r = 0.850; W/NW: p < 0.001, r = 0.937), and lactate (EMS: p = 0.003, r = 0.771; w/NW: p = 0.003, r = 0.764) and both the factors produced higher results. However, the difference in VO2 and relative VO2 is within the range of biological variability of ± 12%. The factor combination EMS*W/NW is statistically non-significant for all three variables. WB-EMS resulted in the higher RPE values (p = 0.035, r = 0.613), RPE differences for W/NW and EMS*W/NW were not significant. The current study results indicate that WB-EMS influences the parameters of exercise intensity. The impact on exercise intensity and the clinical relevance of WB-EMS-superimposed walking (WB-EMS-W) exercise is questionable because of the marginal differences in the outcome variables., Zweitveröffentlichungen der Universität Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe; 760

610 Medizin und Gesundheit - Abstract
Einleitung Ältere Patienten mit Herzklappenerkrankungen werden zunehmend häufig mit der kathetergestützten Aortenklappenimplantation (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation, TAVI) oder dem MitraClip®-Verfahren behandelt. In der kardiologischen Rehabilitation nimmt infolgedessen die Patientenpopulation der Hochbetagten stetig zu. Die funktionale Gesundheit dieser Patienten wird durch häufig auftretende, sogenannte geriatrische Syndrome wie Multimorbidität, Mangelernährung, Gebrechlichkeit oder Sturzereignisse beeinflusst. Insbesondere die eingeschränkte Mobilität und Mangelernährung sind wichtige Prädiktoren für die Prognose der Patienten nach TAVI. Etablierte Verfahren, um die körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit von kardiologischen Rehabilitanden zu beurteilen, sind die Belastungsergometrie und der 6-Minuten-Gehtest. Allerdings ist nahezu die Hälfte der hochbetagten Patienten nicht in der Lage, eine Belastungsergometrie durchzuführen. Bislang erfolgt in der kardiologischen Rehabilitation keine differenzierte Erfassung des funktionellen Status hinsichtlich Mobilität, Kraft und Gleichgewicht, um die geriatrischen Syndrome individuell zu beurteilen. Darüber hinaus werden keine Assessments zur Erfassung des Ernährungsstatus eingesetzt. Daher war es das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit, die Ausprägung des funktionellen und nutritiven Status älterer Patienten anhand geeigneter Assessments in der kardiologischen Rehabilitation zu ermitteln. Methode Zwischen Oktober 2018 und Juni 2019 nahmen Patienten im Alter von 75 Jahren oder älter nach TAVI, atrioventrikulärer Intervention mittels MitraClip®-Verfahren (AVI) oder perkutaner Koronarintervention (PCI) an der Studie teil. Zu Beginn der kardiologischen Rehabilitation wurden soziodemografische Daten, echokardiografische Parameter (z. B. links und rechtsventrikuläre Ejektionsfraktion, Herzrhythmus) und Komorbiditäten (z. B. Diabetes mellitus, Niereninsuffizienz, orthopädische Erkrankungen) erhoben, um die Patientenpopulation zu beschreiben. Zusätzlich wurde die Gebrechlichkeit der Rehabilitanden mit dem Index von Stortecky et al., bestehend aus den Komponenten Kognition, Mobilität, Ernährung und Aktivitäten des täglichen Lebens, beurteilt. Der 6-Minuten-Gehtest diente zur Ermittlung der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit der Patienten. Die Mobilität wurde mit Hilfe des Timed-Up-and-Go-Tests, die Ganggeschwindigkeit mit dem Gait Speed Test und die Handkraft mit dem Hand Grip Test erfasst. Für die Objektivierung des Gleichgewichts wurde eine Kraftmessplatte (uni- und bipedaler Stand mit geöffneten und geschlossenen Augen) erprobt, die bislang bei älteren Rehabilitanden noch nicht eingesetzt wurde. Der Ernährungsstatus wurde mit dem Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form und den ernährungsbezogenen Laborparametern (Hämoglobin, Serumalbumin, Eiweißkonzentration) erfasst. Die Eignung der Assessments bewerteten wir anhand folgender Kriterien: Durchführbarkeit (bei ≥ 95 % der Patienten durchführbar), Sicherheit (< 95 % Stürze oder andere unerwünschte Ereignisse) und der Pearson-Korrelationen zwischen den funktionellen Tests und dem Goldstandard 6-Minuten-Gehtest sowie den Laborparametern und dem Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. Ergebnisse Es wurden 124 Patienten (82 ± 4 Jahre, 48 % Frauen, 5 ± 2 Komorbiditäten, 9 ± 3 Medikamente) nach TAVI (n = 59), AVI (n = 21) und PCI (n = 44) konsekutiv in die Studie eingeschlossen. Etwa zwei Drittel aller Patienten der Gesamtpopulation waren als gebrechlich zu klassifizieren, bei einer mittleren Punktzahl von 2,9 ± 1,4. Annähernd die Hälfte der Patienten zeigte eine eingeschränkte körperliche Leistungsfähigkeit aufgrund einer reduzierten 6-Minuten-Gehstrecke (48 % < 350 m) sowie eine eingeschränkte Mobilität im Timed-Up-and-Go-Test (55 % > 10 s). Es wurden eine mittlere Gehstrecke von 339 ± 131 m und eine durchschnittliche Zeit im Timed-Up-and-Go-Test von 11,4 ± 6,3 s erzielt. Darüber hinaus wies ein Viertel der Patienten eine eingeschränkte Ganggeschwindigkeit (< 0,8 m/s) auf und etwa 35 % von Ihnen zeigten eine reduzierte Handkraft (Frauen/Männer < 16/27 kg). Im Mittel wurde eine Geschwindigkeit von 1,0 ± 0,2 m/s im Gait Speed Test sowie eine Handkraft von 24 ± 9 kg im Hand Grip Test erreicht. Ein Risiko einer Mangelernährung konnte bei 38 % (< 12 Punkte) der Patienten nachgewiesen werden bei einer mittleren Punktzahl von 11,8 ± 2,2 im Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. Im Vergleich zwischen den einzelnen Subpopulationen bestanden keine statistisch signifikanten Unterschiede in den Ergebnissen der funktionellen Assessments. Bezüglich des Ernährungsstatus wiesen allerdings die Patienten nach AVI einen statistisch signifikant niedrigeren Punktewert im Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (10,3 ± 3,0 Punkte) auf als die Patienten nach TAVI (12,0 ± 1,8 Punkte) und PCI (12,1 ± 2,1 Punkte), wobei etwa 57 % der Patienten nach AVI, 38 % nach TAVI und 50 % nach PCI ein Risiko einer Mangelernährung zeigten. Mit Ausnahme der Tests auf der Kraftmessplatte waren alle Assessments durchführbar und sicher. Während 86 % der Patienten den bipedalen Stand mit geschlossenen Augen auf der Kraftmessplatte durchführen konnten und damit nahezu den Grenzwert von 95 % erreichten, war der unipedale Stand mit 12 % an durchführbaren Messungen weit von diesem entfernt. Der Gait Speed Test (r = 0,79), Timed-Up-and-Go-Test (r = 0,68) und Hand Grip Test (r = 0,33) korrelierten signifikant mit dem 6-Minuten-Gehtest, Hämoglobin (r = 0,20) und Albumin (r = 0,24) korrelierten mit dem Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. Schlussfolgerung Über die bestehende Multimorbidität und Multimedikation hinaus wiesen die untersuchten Patienten vor allem eine eingeschränkte Mobilität und ein Risiko einer Mangelernährung auf, wobei die Subpopulation nach AVI besonders betroffen war. Um den Bedürfnissen hochbetagter Rehabilitanden nach kathetergestützer Intervention gerecht zu werden, ist eine individuelle Behandlung der einzelnen Defizite erforderlich, mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der Komorbiditäten sowie der geriatrischen Kofaktoren. Aufgrund des multidisziplinären Ansatzes erfüllt die kardiologische Rehabilitation bereits die Voraussetzung, hochbetagte Patienten bedarfsgerecht zu behandeln, jedoch mangelt es an Assessments, um die individuellen Defizite der Patienten zu identifizieren Der Gait Speed Test, der Timed-Up-and-Go-Test und der Hand Grip Test sollten daher in den klinischen Alltag der kardiologischen Rehabilitation implementiert werden, um die körperliche Funktion und Leistungsfähigkeit älterer Patienten detailliert zu beurteilen. In Kombination dieser Assessments mit dem Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form können die individuellen funktionellen und nutritiven Bedürfnisse der Patienten während der Rehabilitation erkannt und mit geeigneten Maßnahmen die weitere Ausbildung geriatrischer Syndrome gemindert werden., Introduction Percutaneous interventions for valve replacement or correction such as transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or MitraClip® device have been developed as alternatives to surgical procedures and are increasingly used, primarily in older patients. Consequently, multimorbid octogenarians after TAVI, atrioventricular valve interventions (AVI) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) become more present in cardiac rehabilitation. Functional health of this group of patients is often affected by geriatric syndromes (e.g. malnutrition, frailty, instability). Particularly, limited mobility and malnutrition have a significant prognostic value for patients after TAVI. Standard assessments for measuring physical capacity of patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation is the exercise stress test and the 6-minute walk test. In a former study, only half of the older patients were able to perform an exercise stress test. Currently, no detailed classification of the functional status regarding mobility, strength, and balance is performed in cardiac rehabilitation to enable an individual estimation of the occurrence of geriatric syndromes. Furthermore, no assessments are implemented to evaluate the nutritional status of the rehabilitants. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to identify feasible assessments to classify the functional and nutritional status of older patients after percutaneous interventions in cardiac rehabilitation. Methods Between October 2018 and June 2019, patients ≥ 75 years of age after TAVI, AVI or PCI were enrolled in the study. On admission to cardiac rehabilitation, sociodemographic data, echocardiographic parameters (e.g. left and right ventricular ejection fraction, heart rhythm) and comorbidities (e.g. diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, musculoskeletal diseases) were collected for characterization of the population. In addition, frailty of the participants was evaluated by calculating the frailty index by Stortecky et al., which consists of the items: cognition, mobility, nutrition, and activities of daily living. For measuring the functional capacity of patients, the 6-minute walk test was performed. Furthermore, mobility was assessed by the Timed Up and Go test, gait speed by the 4-meter gait speed test and grip strength by a hand grip test (hand dynamometer). For an objective measurement of balance control, uni- and bipedal stance with open and closed eyes were measured by force plate. Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form was performed, and laboratory parameters associated with alimentation (hemoglobin, albumin, protein) were collected to evaluate patients’ nutritional status. An assessment was confirmed to be feasible if at least 95% of the patients were able to perform it, and safe if at least in 95% of cases no adverse events (e.g. falls) occurred. Relations between the functional assessments and the gold standard 6-minute walk test as well as between the laboratory parameters and Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form were calculated with Pearson correlation coefficients. Results The study included 124 patients (mean age 82 ± 4 years, 48 % female; 5 ± 2 comorbidities; 9 ± 3 medications) after TAVI (n = 59), AVI (n = 21) and PCI (n = 44). Two thirds of all patients were considered on the border of frailty (mean index score 2.9 ± 1.4 points). Approximately half of the participants showed a limited functional capacity according to the reduced 6-minute walk distance (48 % < 350 m) and a limited mobility in the Timed Up and Go test (55 % > 10 s). Mean walking distance was 339 ± 131 m and mean time in Timed Up and Go test was 11.4 ± 6.3 s. Further on, 25 % presented a reduced gait speed (< 0.8 m/s) and nearly 35 % a reduced hand grip strength (women/men < 16/27 kg). Mean gait speed was 1.0 ± 0.2 m/s and mean hand grip strength 24 ± 9 kg. The average score in the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form was 11.8 ± 2.2 points, whereby 38 % of the patients were identified to be at risk of malnutrition. No significant differences were found between the subpopulations in the functional assessments. Regarding nutritional status, patients after AVI had a significantly lower score in the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (10.3 ± 3.0 points) compared to patients after TAVI (12.0 ± 1.8 points) and PCI (12.1 ± 2.1 points). Accordingly, 57 % of the patients after AVI, 38 % after TAVI and 50 % after PCI were at risk of malnutrition. Except for the force plate measurements, all assessments were feasible and safe. While 86 % of the patients were able to perform the bipedal stance with closed eyes and nearly reached the cut-off value of 95 %, only 12 % were able to perform the unipedal stance. The 4-meter gait speed test (r = 0.79), Timed Up and Go test (r = 0.68), and hand grip test (r = 0.33) correlated significantly with the 6-minute walk test, hemoglobin (r = 0.20) and albumin (r = 0.24) correlated with the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form. Conclusion Beside the clinical challenges such as multimorbidity and polypharmacy, patients showed a limited mobility and a risk of malnutrition. Particularly, patients after AVI were affected by poorer functional and nutritional status most. To address the needs of octogenarians after percutaneous interventions undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, individual therapies are required that are taking into account the high number of comorbidities and different geriatric syndromes. Due to the multidisciplinary approach, cardiac rehabilitation already fulfills the criteria for an appropriate treatment of older patients. Nevertheless, there is a lack of suitable assessments to identify individual deficits. Gait speed test, Timed Up and Go test and hand grip test ought to be implemented into clinical practice of cardiac rehabilitation for a detailed evaluation of the functional capacity of older patients. In combination with the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form, the functional and nutritional needs of these patients can thereby be identified during rehabilitation. Consequently, the early implementation of suitable interventions could help to reduce limitations induced by geriatric syndromes.

Background: Telerehabilitation can contribute to the maintenance of successful rehabilitation regardless of location and time. The aim of this study was to investigate a specific three-month interactive telerehabilitation routine regarding its effectiveness in assisting patients with physical functionality and with returning to work compared to typical aftercare. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate a specific three-month interactive telerehabilitation with regard to effectiveness in functioning and return to work compared to usual aftercare. Methods: From August 2016 to December 2017, 111 patients (mean 54.9 years old; SD 6.8; 54.3% female) with hip or knee replacement were enrolled in the randomized controlled trial. At discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and after three months, their distance in the 6-minute walk test was assessed as the primary endpoint. Other functional parameters, including health related quality of life, pain, and time to return to work, were secondary endpoints. Results: Patients in the intervention group performed telerehabilitation for an average of 55.0 minutes (SD 9.2) per week. Adherence was high, at over 75%, until the 7th week of the three-month intervention phase. Almost all the patients and therapists used the communication options. Both the intervention group (average difference 88.3 m; SD 57.7; P=.95) and the control group (average difference 79.6 m; SD 48.7; P=.95) increased their distance in the 6-minute-walk-test. Improvements in other functional parameters, as well as in quality of life and pain, were achieved in both groups. The higher proportion of working patients in the intervention group (64.6%; P=.01) versus the control group (46.2%) is of note. Conclusions: The effect of the investigated telerehabilitation therapy in patients following knee or hip replacement was equivalent to the usual aftercare in terms of functional testing, quality of life, and pain. Since a significantly higher return-to-work rate could be achieved, this therapy might be a promising supplement to established aftercare.

The primary outcome was their status determining their capacity to work (fit vs unfit) at discharge from CR. Further, sociodemographic data (eg, age, sex, and education level), diagnoses, functional data (eg, exercise stress test and 6-min walking test [6MWT]), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and self-assessment of the occupational prognosis (negative expectations and/or unemployment, Würzburger screening) at admission to CR were considered.Results: A negative occupational prognosis was detected in 384 patients (43%). Out of these, 368 (96%) expected not to return to work after CR and/or were unemployed before CR at 29% (n=113).

According to recent literature sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) has been proposed as a performance enhancing aid by reducing acidosis during exercise. The aim of the current review is to investigate if the duration of exercise is an essential factor for the effect of NaHCO3. To collect the latest studies from electronic database of PubMed, study publication time was restricted from December 2006 to December 2016. The search was updated in July 2018. The studies were divided into exercise durations of > 4 or ≤ 4 minutes for easier comparability of their effects in different exercises. Only randomized controlled trials were included in this review. Of the 775 studies, 35 met the inclusion criteria. Study design, subjects, effects as well as outcome criteria were inconsistent throughout the studies. Seventeen of these studies reported performance enhancing effects after supplementing NaHCO3. Eleven of twenty studies with exercise duration of ≤ 4 minutes showed positive and four diverse results after supplementing NaHCO3. On the other hand six of fifteen studies with an exercise duration of >4 minutes showed performance enhancing and two studies showed diverse results. Consequently, the duration of exercise might be influential for inducing a performance enhancing effect when supplementing NaHCO3, but to which extent, remains unclear due to the inconsistencies in the study results., Postprints der Universität Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe, 548

At discharge from inpatient rehabilitation and after three months, their distance in the 6-minute walk test was assessed as the primary endpoint. Other functional parameters, including health related quality of life, pain, and time to return to work, were secondary endpoints. Results: Patients in the intervention group performed telerehabilitation for an average of 55.0 minutes (SD 9.2) per week. Adherence was high, at over 75%, until the 7th week of the three-month intervention phase. Almost all the patients and therapists used the communication options. Both the intervention group (average difference 88.3 m; SD 57.7; P=.95) and the control group (average difference 79.6 m; SD 48.7; P=.95) increased their distance in the 6-minute-walk-test. Improvements in other functional parameters, as well as in quality of life and pain, were achieved in both groups. The higher proportion of working patients in the intervention group (64.6%; P=.01) versus the control group (46.2%) is of note. Conclusions: The effect of the investigated telerehabilitation therapy in patients following knee or hip replacement was equivalent to the usual aftercare in terms of functional testing, quality of life, and pain. Since a significantly higher return-to-work rate could be achieved, this therapy might be a promising supplement to established aftercare., Postprints der Universität Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe, 589

Objective: We aimed to characterize patients after an acute cardiac event regarding their negative expectations around returning to work and the impact on work capacity upon discharge from cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Methods: We analyzed routine data of 884 patients (52±7 years, 76% men) who attended 3 weeks of inpatient CR after an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or cardiac surgery between October 2013 and March 2015. The primary outcome was their status determining their capacity to work (fit vs unfit) at discharge from CR. Further, sociodemographic data (eg, age, sex, and education level), diagnoses, functional data (eg, exercise stress test and 6-min walking test [6MWT]), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and self-assessment of the occupational prognosis (negative expectations and/or unemployment, Würzburger screening) at admission to CR were considered. Results: A negative occupational prognosis was detected in 384 patients (43%). Out of these, 368 (96%) expected not to return to work after CR and/or were unemployed before CR at 29% (n=113). Affected patients showed a reduced exercise capacity (bicycle stress test: 100 W vs 118 W, P, Postprints der Universität Potsdam : Humanwissenschaftliche Reihe, 574

Background: Elderly patients are a growing population in cardiac rehabilitation (CR). As postural control declines with age, assessment of impaired balance is important in older CR patients in order to predict fall risk and to initiate counteracting steps. Functional balance tests are subjective and lack adequate sensitivity to small differences, and are further subject to ceiling effects. A quantitative approach to measure postural control on a continuous scale is therefore desirable. Force plates are already used for this purpose in other clinical contexts, therefore could be a promising tool also for older CR patients. However, in this population the reliability of the assessment is not fully known.Research Question: Analysis of test-retest reliability of center of pressure (CoP) measures for the assessment of postural control using a force plate in older CR patients.Methods: 156 CR patients (≥75 years) were enrolled. CoP measures (path length (PL), mean velocity (MV), and 95% confidence ellipse area (95CEA)) were analyzed twice with an interval of two days in between (bipedal narrow stance, eyes open (EO) and closed (EC), three trials for each condition, 30 s per trial), using a force plate. For test-retest reliability estimation absolute differences (Δ: T0-T1), intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) with 95% confidence intervals, standard error of measurement and minimal detectable change were calculated.Results: Under EO condition ICC were excellent for PL and MV (0.95) and good for 95CEA (0.88) with Δ of 10.1 cm (PL), 0.3 cm/sec (MV) and 1.5 cm2 (95CEA) respectively. Under EC condition ICC were excellent (≥ 0.95) for all variables with larger Δ (PL: 21.7 cm; MV: 0.7 cm/sec; 95CEA: 2.4 cm2).Significance: In older CR patients, the assessment of CoP measures using a force plate shows good to excellent test-retest reliability.

- Abstract
According to recent literature sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO
3 ) has been proposed as a performance enhancing aid by reducing acidosis during exercise. The aim of the current review is to investigate if the duration of exercise is an essential factor for the effect of NaHCO3 . To collect the latest studies from electronic database of PubMed, study publication time was restricted from December 2006 to December 2016. The search was updated in July 2018. The studies were divided into exercise durations of > 4 or ≤ 4 minutes for easier comparability of their effects in different exercises. Only randomized controlled trials were included in this review. Of the 775 studies, 35 met the inclusion criteria. Study design, subjects, effects as well as outcome criteria were inconsistent throughout the studies. Seventeen of these studies reported performance enhancing effects after supplementing NaHCO3 . Eleven of twenty studies with exercise duration of ≤ 4 minutes showed positive and four diverse results after supplementing NaHCO3 . On the other hand six of fifteen studies with an exercise duration of >4 minutes showed performance enhancing and two studies showed diverse results. Consequently, the duration of exercise might be influential for inducing a performance enhancing effect when supplementing NaHCO3 , but to which extent, remains unclear due to the inconsistencies in the study results.- Published
