Abstract

Purpose: To assess the criterion and construct validity of the Fitbit Zip® to measure physical activity among adults living with HIV. Methods: Participants were video recorded completing 2 walk tests while wearing the Fitbit Zip® and completed 3 selfreported physical activity questionnaires 1 week later. The authors calculated intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) to determine agreement between the number of steps taken and distance walked (Fitbit Zip®) with the visual count of number of steps taken and actual distance walked (walk tests). The authors tested 15 a priori hypotheses about predicted associations between questionnaire scores and physical activity measured by the Fitbit Zip®. Results: Among the 34 participants, there was "excellent" agreement between the number of steps taken measured by the Fitbit Zip® and visually counted number of steps taken (ICC = .99) and number of steps taken at slow (ICC = .75), moderate (ICC = .85), and fast (ICC = .78) walking speeds. There was "poor" agreement between the Fitbit Zip® recorded distance and actual determined distance walked (ICC = .20). Three (20%) construct validity hypotheses were confirmed. Conclusions: The Fitbit Zip® demonstrated criterion validity for its ability to measure number of steps taken but not distance walked, and did not demonstrate construct validity for measuring physical activity among adults with HIV.

Abstract

Critically ill adults admitted into the intensive care unit (ICU) require continuous monitoring and therapies to prevent disease progression and allow for recovery. Respiratory therapists (RTs) are specialized healthcare providers on the interdisciplinary care team. Their main role in the ICU includes providing interventions to support patients' respiratory or oxygen needs. Additional services they may provide encompass consultations and specialized procedures to aid patients' recovery and mitigate disease progression. However, their overall practice role, regional practice variations and inclusion in the multidisciplinary team are not well reported in the literature. The objective of this scoping review is to describe the roles of RTs in adult critical care, the guidelines for RTs in the critical care team, and the regional differences in RTs’ practice roles across North America (Canada and United States).

121. The Feasibility of Six-Minute and Two-Minute Walk Tests in In-patient Geriatric Rehabilitation

Author

Brooks, Dina, Davis, Aileen M., and Naglie, Gary

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of the 6-minute and 2-minute walk tests in frail older persons. Design: Pre/post-design with measures at admission and discharge to in-patient geriatric rehabilitation. Participants: Fifty-two subjects (35 women, 17 men; age 80 plus or minus 8 years). Results: Only 1 of the first 8 subjects could complete a single trial of the 6-minute walk test at admission. The 2-minute walk test was feasible in this population, with 50 (out of 52) subjects able to complete at least one trial at admission. There was an increase in distance walked when three trials of the 2-minute walk were performed, at both admission and discharge (p less than 0.0001). Conclusion: The 2-minute walk test is a feasible measure of functional capacity and was better tolerated than the 6-minute walk test in older persons in geriatric rehabilitation. Consideration needs to be given to the potential of a training effect or the need for repeated measures to obtain a best estimate for the 2-minute walk test. (Contains 1 table.)

Abstract

Introdução e objetivos: A força muscular do quadricípite é um forte indicador de morbilidade e mortalidade em pessoas com doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC). Programas de reabilitação respiratória (RR) aumentam a força muscular. Contudo, a interpretação clínica dos resultados da força muscular pós-RR é limitada pela ausência de pontos de corte que identifiquem alterações clinicamente relevantes (i.e., mínima diferença de importância clínica – MDIC). Este estudo teve como objetivo calcular a MDIC para a força muscular isométrica do quadricípite em pessoas com DPOC após um programa de RR. Materiais e Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo observacional prospetivo com pessoas com DPOC, que participaram num programa de RR de 12 semanas. A força isométrica do quadricípite foi recolhida com um dinamómetro handheld. O teste de marcha de 6 minutos (TM6M) e o questionário respiratório de St. George (SGRQ) foram usados como âncoras, caso se verificasse uma correlação entre as diferenças (pré-/pós-RR) na força muscular e a diferença nestes testes > 0.30. A MDIC foi calculada utilizando métodos de âncora (i.e., diferenças entre médias e regressões lineares) e de distribuição (i.e., 0.5*desvio padrão [0.5DP]; erro standard da medida [SEM]; 1.96*ESM [1.96SEM]; mínima diferença detetável [MDC95]). As MDIC foram estabelecidas através do cálculo da média dos valores encontrados com os diferentes métodos. Resultados: 70 pessoas com DPOC foram incluídas (81% homens, 70±7 anos, FEV1 48±17% previsto). Não foram encontradas correlações significativas entre as diferenças na força muscular e no TM6M (r= 0,02; p=0,873) e no SGRQ (r=-0,13; p=0,284), pelo que os métodos de âncora não foram aplicados. Os valores encontrados com os métodos de distribuição foram: 4,1 (0.5DP), 2,9 (SEM), 5,7 (1,96SEM) e 8,1 (MDC95) kgf. A MDIC final foi de 5,2 kgf (min. 2,9 – max. 8,1 kgf). Conclusões: A MDIC encontrada poderá ser usada pelos fisioterapeutas para interpretar os efeitos da RR na força muscular isométrica do quadricípite. Contudo, os resultados devem ser interpretados com cuidado uma vez que apenas métodos de distribuição foram utilizados, o que pode ter contribuído para uma sobrestimação da MDIC encontrada. in publication

140. The Role of Canadian respiratory therapists in adult critical care (ICURT-CAN): A scoping review

Author

Quach, Shirley, Zaccagnini, Marco, Packham, Tara L., Goldstein, Roger, and Brooks, Dina

Abstract

AbstractRATIONALERespiratory therapists (RTs) are part of the critical care team, dedicated to providing specialized respiratory care. However, their role, regional practice variations and inclusion in the multidisciplinary team are not well described in the literature.OBJECTIVESThe aim of this review was to describe: 1) the role and impact of RTs; 2) the recommendations for RT inclusion; and 3) regional differences in RT practices in adult critical care across Canada.METHODS AND MEASUREMENTA scoping review was performed. Eligible studies described the Canadian RT role in adult critical care. Data extraction was informed by the Respiratory Therapy Practice-Based Outcome Initiative Model (RT-PBOI), a conceptual model that outlines 5 domains of how RTs can contribute to patient care and resource utilization.MAIN RESULTSRTs’ roles across 22 studies were categorized into domains of the RT-PBOI model: Technical skills (n = 20), Approach to practice (n = 20), Leveraging capacity (n = 15), Strategic expertise (n = 16) and Growing value for the future (n = 17). The grey literature (n = 26) provided brief descriptions of the RT role across multiple practice settings, but common RT tasks in critical care were mechanical ventilation management and participation in specialized care teams. One grey literature report recommended RTs to participate as critical response team members and two studies briefly mentioned regional differences in RT roles.CONCLUSIONThere were minimal studies to report on the impact of RTs in Canadian, adult critical care. Future studies are needed to evaluate the RT role and their value in improving patient care and resource utilization.

Abstract

Background. The use of standardized assessment tools is an element of evidence-informed rehabilitation, but physical therapists report administering these tools inconsistently poststroke. An in-depth understanding of physical therapists' approaches to walking assessment is needed to develop strategies to advance assessment practice. Objectives. The objective of this study was to explore the methods physical therapists use to evaluate walking poststroke, reasons for selecting these methods, and the use of assessment results in clinical practice. Design. A qualitative descriptive study involving semistructured telephone interviews was conducted. Methods. Registered physical therapists assessing a minimum of 10 people with stroke per year in Ontario, Canada, were purposively recruited from acute care, rehabilitation, and outpatient settings. Interviews were audiotaped and transcribed verbatim. Transcripts were coded line by line by the interviewer. Credibility was optimized through triangulation of analysts, audit trail, and collection of field notes. Results. Study participants worked in acute care (n=8), rehabilitation (n=11), or outpatient (n=9) settings and reported using movement observation and standardized assessment tools to evaluate walking. When selecting methods to evaluate walking, physical therapists described being influenced by a hierarchy of factors. Factors included characteristics of the assessment tool, the therapist, the workplace, and patients, as well as influential individuals or organizations. Familiarity exerted the primary influence on adoption of a tool into a therapist's assessment repertoire, whereas patient factors commonly determined daily use. Participants reported using the results from walking assessments to communicate progress to the patient and health care professionals. Conclusions. Multilevel factors influence physical therapists' adoption and daily administration of standardized tools to assess walking. Findings will inform knowledge translation efforts aimed at increasing the standardized assessment of walking poststroke., Physical Therapists' Use of Standardized Measures for Walking Capacity Worldwide, 15 million people experience a stroke each year. (1) More than half lose their ability to walk independently immediately poststroke. [...]
