21. Cardiac function and physical activity participation in individuals with spinal cord injury

Author

McCracken, Laura A.

Abstract

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at greatly increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is likely due to physical inactivity and impaired sympathetic control of the heart and blood vessels, resulting in cardiovascular dysfunction. Cardiovascular dysfunction in individuals with SCI is associated with injury level, whereby individuals with higher lesions exhibit greater dysfunction. In people without SCI, cardiac dysfunction predicts CVD. The studies that have investigated cardiac indices in individuals with SCI tend to agree that cardiac atrophy and impaired systolic function occur following SCI. Physical activity is a key method to decrease CVD risk and improve cardiac function, yet few studies have examined the relationship between cardiac function and physical activity in individuals with SCI. Those that have investigated this relationship have used subjective measures of physical activity. The current guidelines for physical activity participation for individuals with SCI were based on a systematic review of the evidence on the benefits of physical activity, yet there was inadequate evidence to prescribe activity intensity and duration to improve cardiovascular health in this population. Individuals with SCI also experience numerous barriers and facilitators to physical activity participation that affect their ability to meet the guideline recommendations. The objectives of this thesis, therefore, were: 1) to objectively measure physical activity in individuals with SCI, using wrist-worn accelerometry during a six-day physical activity monitoring period, and to evaluate the utility of group based wrist accelerometry cut-points to estimate physical activity intensity by comparing MVPA determined by individual cut-points to MVPA determined by group-based cut-points; 2) to determine the relationship between objectively measured physical activity and cardiac structure and function in individuals with SCI across a range of injury levels, and 3) to explore the barriers and facilitators to physical activity participation experienced by individuals with SCI during a six-day physical activity monitoring period.

24. Development of a Physical Shoulder Simulator for the Training of Basic Arthroscopic Skills

Abstract

Increasingly, shoulder surgeries are performed using arthroscopic techniques, leading to reduced tissue damage and shorter patient recovery times. Orthopaedic training programs are responding to the increased demand for arthroscopic surgeries by incorporating arthroscopic skills into their residency curriculums. A need for accessible and effective training tools exists. This thesis describes the design and development of a physical shoulder simulator for training basic arthroscopy skills such as triangulation, orientation, and navigation of the anatomy. The simulator can be used in either the lateral decubitus or beach chair orientation and accommodates wet or dry practice. Sensors embedded in the simulator provide a means to assess performance. A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the simulator. Novice subjects improved their performance after practicing with the simulator. A survey completed by experts, recognized the simulator as a valuable tool for training novice surgeons in basic arthroscopic skills.

Abstract

Purpose: To (1) evaluate the level of agreement between individually calibrated accelerometers and the self-reported Physical Activity Recall Assessment for People with Spinal Cord Injury when assessing moderate-vigorous physical activity; and (2) qualitatively examine the different components of physical activity each measure assesses. Materials/methods: Nineteen manual wheelchair users with chronic spinal cord injury (19.0 ± 12.9 years post injury, C5-L2 injury level) wore a wrist and spoke accelerometer for one week then returned to the lab and completed the Physical Activity Recall Assessment for People with Spinal Cord Injury for their last 3 days of accelerometer wear. Results: Bland-Altman plots revealed low levels of agreement between the two measures when measuring total (bias = −5.6 ± 70.41 min/d, 95% agreement limits = −143.6–132.4 min/d), wheeled (bias = −9.7 ± 30.2 min/d, 95% agreement limits = −69.0–49.5 min/d), and non-wheeled (bias =12.3 ± 53.8 min/d, 95% agreement limits = −93.1–117.6 min/d) moderate-vigorous physical activity. The accelerometer was beneficial for detecting intermittent or brief activities while the self-report measure was useful for measuring lifting activities (e.g., resistance training) and wheeling on inclined surfaces. Conclusion: Total and wheeled moderate-vigorous physical activity measured by an accelerometer and a self-report measure showed low agreement at the individual level. Additional research is needed to examine whether physical activity may be best measured using accelerometers and a self-report measure concurrently. Accurate physical activity measurement has important implications for understanding the relationship between physical activity and health outcomes. Many limitations exist to accurately measuring physical activity in people with spinal cord injury. The most commonly used measures of physical activity in spinal cord injury are accelerometers and the self-reported Physical Activity Recall Assessment for People with Spinal Cord Injury. Accelerometers and the Physical Activity Recall Assessment for People with Spinal Cord Injury show low levels of agreement, highlighting that there are differences in the specific physical activity patterns that each measure is able to capture.

29. Great Ideas.

Author

Frigo, Luigi, Rexroat, Jozel, McCracken, Laura, Birkell, Donna, Shutt, Laurie, Harvey, Gail, and Ruccella, Patricianne

Abstract

The article presents ideas from Catholic schools. It cites a "Service from the Heart" project done by students of St. Mary School in Lake Leelanau, Mississippi. Students from Incarnate Word Academy in Corpus Christi, Texas prepares for the season of Lent and practice acts of kindness through a "crown of thorns" wreath with toothpicks as the thorns. The sixth-grade students of St. Angela Merici School, Fairview Park, Ohio picks an article about some aspect of science and shares with their classmates why they chose the article.
