Furthermore, a standard set can provide the basis for development of quality indicators and is therefore useful for quality improvement and public reporting purposes. The aim of this study was to develop a standard set of outcome domains and proposed measures for patients with COPD in Dutch primary care physical therapy practice, including a proposal to stratify patients in subgroups.Material and methods: A consensus-driven modified RAND-UCLA appropriateness method was conducted with relevant stakeholders (patients, physical therapists, researchers, policy makers and health insurers) in Dutch primary physical therapy care in eight steps: (1) literature search, (2) first online survey, (3) patient interviews, (4) expert meeting, resulting in a concept standard set and methods to identify subgroups’ (5) consensus meeting, (6) expert meeting (7) second online survey and (8) final approval of an advisory board resulting of the approved standard set.Results: Five outcome domains were selected for COPD: physical capacity, muscle strength, physical activity, dyspnea and quality of life. A total of 21 measures were rated and discussed. Finally, eight measures were included, of which four mandatory measures: Characteristics of practices and physical therapists, Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ) for quality of life, Global Perceived Effect (GPE) for experience, 6-mins Walk Test (6-MWT) for physical capacity; two conditional measures: Hand-Held Dynamometer (HHD) (with Microfet™) for Quadriceps strength, Medical Research Council Dyspnea (MRC) for monitoring dyspnea; and two exploratory measures: Accelerometry for physical activity, and the Assessment of Burden of COPD tool (ABC). To identify subgroups, a method described in the Dutch standard of care from the Lung Alliance was included.Conclusion: This study described the development of a standard set of outcome domains and proposed measures for patients with COPD in primary care physical therapy. Each measure was accepted for relevance and feasibility by the involved stakeholders. The set is currently used in daily practice and tested on validity and reliability in a pilot for the development of quality indicators.Keywords: COPD, standard set, outcome domains, quality measures, PROMs, PREMs, Delphi

Objective: The aims of this study were to evaluate the adoption of and fidelity to the Coach2Move approach; identify differences between physical therapists with a specialization in geriatrics and physical therapists without a specialization; explore if level of adoption and specialization explain variances in effectiveness; and explore group differences in attitudes and experiences with implementation., Methods: A multi-methods process evaluation of Coach2Move implementation through 2 education days, 3 peer-assessment meetings, and an adapted electronic health record was performed alongside a cluster randomized stepped-wedge trial comparing regular care physical therapy with Coach2Move. Participants were 36 physical therapists with a specialization (n = 17) and without a specialization (n = 19) who treated 292 community-dwelling older adults. Level of adoption and fidelity were analyzed by comparing preimplementation scores with scores 1 year later. Coach2Move adoption was measured by e-assessment scores, and fidelity through health record indicators. The impact of specialization and adoption on health outcomes was examined using a mixed-model analysis of variance. Therapists' attitudes and experiences were collected through a survey based on semistructured interviews., Results: Mean (SD) total indicator scores on the e-assessment (adoption of a Coach2Move mindset) increased from baseline 17% (5%) to 47% (9%) at follow-up. Physical therapists with a specialization in geriatrics scored (mean [SD]) higher than physical therapists without (54% [6%] vs 41% [6%]). Mean (SD) indicator scores on health records (fidelity) increased from 35% (12%) at baseline to 47% (15%) at follow-up. Mean scores of physical therapists with a specialization in geriatrics were higher. Level of adoption and specialization (yes/no) did not explain the variance in effectiveness. Physical therapists identified important facilitators, including tailored education and peer-assessment meetings, whereas adequate reimbursement for the extra time investment was considered a necessity. Different workflows in practices were perceived as a barrier., Conclusion: Implementation led to increased adoption and fidelity of the Coach2Move intervention by physical therapists but shows room for improvement. Attitudes toward the approach and its implementation were positive. Future implementation efforts on adoption could be improved by focusing on a fair compensation structure by third-party payers and insurance companies and optimizing organizational and financial context within practices., Impact: This study evaluated the implementation of Coach2Move, a clinical reasoning approach designed to increase physical activity and improve self-efficacy in older adults. Overall, the study demonstrates the potential of Coach2Move to be effectively adopted by physical therapists. However, addressing therapist compensation and adapting to practice workflows are important considerations for successful large-scale implementation., (© The Author(s) 2024.

Purpose: To assess the experience and perceived added value of an e-Health application during the physical therapy treatment of patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMD)., Materials and Methods: A mixed-methods study including semi-structured interviews was performed with orofacial physical therapists (OPTs) and with TMD patients regarding their experience using an e-Health application, Physitrack. The modified telemedicine satisfaction and usefulness questionnaire and pain intensity score before and after treatment were collected from the patients., Results: Ten OPTs, of which nine actively used Physitrack, described that the e-Health application can help to provide personalised care to patients with TMD, due to the satisfying content, user-friendliness, accessibility, efficiency, and ability to motivate patients. Ten patients, of which nine ended up using Physitrack, felt that shared decision-making was very important. These patients were positive towards the application as it was clear, convenient, and efficient, it helped with reassurance and adherence to the exercises and overall increased self-efficacy. This was mostly built on their experience with exercise videos, as this feature was most used. None of the OPTs or patients used all features of Physitrack. The overall satisfaction of Physitrack based on the telemedicine satisfaction and usefulness questionnaire (TSUQ) was 20.5 ± 4.0 and all patients (100%) showed a clinically relevant reduction of TMD pain (more than 2 points and minimally 30% difference)., Conclusion: OPTs and patients with TMD shared the idea that exercise videos are of added value on top of usual physical therapy care for TMD complaints, which could be delivered through e-Health.Implications for RehabilitationPhysical therapists and patients with temporomandibular disorders do not use all features of the e-Health application Physitrack in a clinical setting.Exercise videos were the most often used feature and seen as most valuable by physical therapists and patients.Based on a small number of participants, e-Health applications such as Physitrack may be perceived as a valuable addition to the usual care, though this would need verification by a study designed to evaluate the therapeutic effect (e.g., a randomised clinical trial).

Background: Currently, paediatric health care aims to use a child-centred tailor-made approach. In order to design tailored occupational therapy, the implementation of personalised occupation-based measurements that guide and evaluate goal setting and are responsive to change is necessary., Purpose: Primarily, this study explored the potential of the Perceive, Recall, Plan, and Perform (PRPP) assessment to measure the change in the performance of children with multiple disabilities. As a secondary evaluation, the feasibility of the PRPP-Intervention in a home-based program to enable activities was described. The overall aim is to show the potential of the PRPP-Assessment as an outcome measure to use as a base for designing tailor-made person-centred care., Methods: An exploratory longitudinal multiple case series mixed-methods design was used. The PRPP-Assessment, scored by multiple raters, was conducted based on parent-provided videos. The assessed activities were chosen by the child and/or parents. Responsiveness was evaluated by hypotheses formulated a priori and by comparing measured change with change on concurrent measures: Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS) and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Over a 6-week period, children and their parents (or caregivers) participated in an online home-based video coaching program where parents were coached in the implementation of the training, based on the PRPP-Intervention, by paediatric occupational therapists on a weekly basis. The feasibility of the intervention was explored using semi-structured interviews with children, parents, and the treating occupational therapists and was analysed by directed content analysis., Results: Three out of 17 eligible children agreed to participate and completed post-intervention measurement, of which two completed the intervention. Quantitative results showed that eight out of nine activities improved on the PRPP-Assessment and the COPM, and nine improved on the GAS. In total, 13 out of 15 hypotheses for responsiveness were accepted. Participants experienced the intervention as successful and acceptable. Facilitators and concerns over demand, implementation, practicality, integration, and adaptation were shared., Conclusion: The PRPP-Assessment showed the potential to measure change in a heterogeneous group of children. The results indicated a positive tendency for the intervention and also provide directions for further development., (© 2023 The Authors.

Purpose: To investigate the reliability and validity of the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform System of Task Analysis (PRPP-Assessment) by parent-provided videos of children with mitochondrial disorders., Methods: Videos of 13 children performing 3-7 activities each were the subject of study, resulting in 65 activities. These were scored using the PRPP-Assessment by 11 raters. Internal consistency was calculated with Cronbach's alpha. Intra-rater reliability was evaluated by Bland-Altman Plots on 44 PRPP-Assessment scores. Inter-rater reliability was calculated with ICC Agreement on 128 PRPP-Assessment scores. Construct validity was assessed by comparing the PRPP-Assessment scores to the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure using Cohen's Kappa. PRPP-Assessments scores were evaluated with a multi-faceted Rasch Analysis., Results: Internal consistency was high (0.92). Intra-rater reliability was sufficient to be good (92-96% within the 95%-Limits of the Agreement). The ICC Agreement for stage 1 Mastery Score showed acceptable inter-rater reliability (0.646). Stage 2 of the PRPP-Assessment showed low ICCs due to a lack of variability within the sample. Four out of six hypotheses on validity were accepted. Rasch's analysis demonstrated sound goodness-of-fit, and supported the validity of the PRPP-Assessment., Conclusion: The PRPP-Assessment by parent-provided videos in this heterogenic group showed sufficient to good psychometric properties. In practice, careful task selection and formulating criterion is recommended.Implications for RehabilitationPRPP-Assessment by parent-provided videos is reliable and valid in the complex, heterogenous group of children with mitochondrial disordersThe PRPP-Assessment is suitable for children with mitochondrial disorders as it showed to contain familiar, functional and meaningful tasks and activities that fit with their level of functioningProfessionals should be aware that parents might not be used to the criterium-based frame of reference of the PRPP-AssessmentWhen applying the PRPP-Assessment, it is recommended to be careful in task selection and formulating the criterion.

Background: Communication difficulties are common in people with dementia, and often present from an early stage. However, direct treatment options for people with dementia that positively influence their daily communication are scarce., Aims: To evaluate the potential impact and feasibility of a personalized logopaedic intervention., Methods & Procedures: A total of 40 community-dwelling persons with dementia and their caregivers were recruited. Five experienced speech and language therapists (SLTs) delivered the six-session Com-mens intervention at home. Com-mens aims to improve positive communication between people with dementia and their primary caregivers and comprises five elements: interactive history-taking, dynamic observational assessment, education about the consequences of dementia on communication, development and use of personalized communication tools, use motivational, and person-centred strategies by the SLT. We conducted a single-group mixed-methods pilot study with five measurements: baseline, directly after intervention, and at 3, 6 and 9 months follow-up. Semi-structured interviews and questionnaires for Experienced Communication in Dementia, quality of life, psychological well-being and caregiver burden were conducted. Process evaluation was performed by interviewing participants, drop-outs, SLTs and other stakeholders., Outcomes & Results: A total of 32 dyads completed the intervention. Repeated measures analyses revealed no significant changes over time. In the interviews, participants reported a positive impact on their feelings, increased communication skills and better coping with the diagnosis. Participants would recommend the intervention to others. Facilitators were timely delivery, personalized content and adequate reimbursement. Barriers were unfamiliarity with Com-mens among referrers, an overburdened caregiver or disrupted family relationships., Conclusions & Implications: This newly developed logopaedic intervention is feasible and has a perceived positive impact on both people with dementia and their caregivers, which is confirmed by a stable pattern over a period of 1 year. Future comparative studies are needed to test the effectiveness of personalized interventions in this patient population., What This Paper Adds: What is already known on the subject? SLTs are experts in the field of communication, but even though communication problems are common between people with dementia and their caregivers, there is a lack of logopaedic guidelines and materials for the direct treatment for this population. Interventions that are available either focus on (professional) caregivers only or aim to enhance cognitive functioning and do not target on joined communication. What this paper adds to the existing knowledge? A newly developed intervention called Com-mens can be provided by trained SLTs and takes an average of six 1-h sessions. The intervention is perceived to be valuable and feasible for people with dementia and their caregivers, by the participants themselves, as well as by healthcare professionals and other stakeholders. What are the potential or actual clinical implications of this work? Dissemination of this intervention will give SLTs skills, tools and materials to provide meaningful care to home-dwelling persons with dementia and their caregivers. Also, persons with dementia and their caregivers will receive education and materials that can help them increase their understanding of communication problems, enhance their communication skills and better cope with the communication problems that result from dementia. We consider the Com-mens intervention to be a valuable addition to the field of speech language therapy and dementia., (© 2022 The Authors.

This paper investigated facilitators and barriers to implementing the European Football Fans in Training program (EuroFIT) in professional sports clubs in England, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal. We analyzed qualitative data collected at clubs that delivered EuroFIT, based on semi-structured interviews with coordinating staff (n = 15), coaches (n = 16), and focus group interviews with participants (n = 108), as well as data from clubs that considered delivering EuroFIT in the future, based on interviews with staff (n = 7) and stakeholders (n = 8). Facilitators for implementation related to the content and structure of the program, its evidence-base, and the context for delivery in the football stadia. Financial and human resources were both facilitators and barriers. Further barriers were mostly practical, relating to human resources and infrastructure. Major differences between countries related to experience and commitment to running community projects, and differences in infrastructure, financing, and human resources. Professional football clubs' ability to support health promotion efforts depended on their ethos and the financial and human resources available to them. Overall, the EuroFIT program was well received by clubs, coaches, participants, and stakeholders, which was reflected by the many facilitators supporting sustained implementation. For sustainable implementation, it is crucial that clubs and their stakeholders engage fully with the EuroFIT program and understand that for an adequate program delivery their views (ethos) and ways of working influence the implementation and thereby the effectiveness of EuroFIT. An important prerequisite for future roll out of EuroFIT would be a strong EuroFIT delivery partner organization to ensure financial and human resources while overseeing and guiding the quality of delivery in clubs., (© The Author(s) 2023.

Objectives: Manual therapy in infants is embedded in Dutch healthcare despite inconsistent evidence and ongoing debate about its safety and merits. This study examines decision-making in manual therapy in infants and explores parents' and healthcare professionals' perspectives on this treatment approach., Methods: This mixed-methods study consisted of an online survey among manual physiotherapists and paediatric physiotherapists exploring decision-making on manual therapy in infants and interprofessional collaboration. These data prompted further exploration and were combined with data collected with semi-structured interviews exploring parents' and healthcare professionals' perspectives. Interviews were analysed using an inductive content analysis approach., Results: 607 manual physiotherapists and 388 paediatric physiotherapists completed the online survey; 45% and 95% indicated they treat infants, respectively. Collaboration was reported by 46% of manual physiotherapists and 64% of paediatric physiotherapists for postural asymmetry, positional preference, upper cervical dysfunction, excessive crying, anxiety or restlessness. Reasons to not treat or collaborate were: limited professional competence, practice policy, not perceiving added value, lack of evidence and fear of complications. Analysis of interviews with 7 parents, 9 manual physiotherapists, 7 paediatric physiotherapists, 5 paediatricians and 2 maternity nurses revealed that knowledge and beliefs, professional norms, interpersonal relation, treatment experiences and emotions of parents influenced attitudes and decision-making towards choosing for manual therapy in infants., Conclusion: Parents' and healthcare professionals' attitudes towards manual therapy in infants can be divided as 'in favour' or 'against'. Those who experienced a good interpersonal relation with a manual physiotherapist and positive treatment outcomes reported positive attitudes. Lack of evidence, treatment experience and related knowledge, safety issues due to publications on adverse events and professional norms led to negative attitudes. Despite lacking evidence, positive treatment experiences, good interpersonal relation and parents feeling frustrated and despaired can overrule negative attitudes and directly influence the decision-making process and choosing for manual therapy treatment., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2023 Driehuis et al.

Introduction: Early evaluation of writing readiness is essential to predict and prevent handwriting difficulties and its negative influences on school occupations. An occupation-based measurement for kindergarten children has been previously developed: Writing Readiness Inventory Tool In Context (WRITIC). In addition, to assess fine motor coordination two tests are frequently used in children with handwriting difficulties: the modified Timed Test of In-Hand Manipulation (Timed TIHM) and the Nine-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT). However, no Dutch reference data are available., Aim: To provide reference data for (1) WRITIC, (2) Timed-TIHM and (3) 9-HPT for handwriting readiness assessment in kindergarten children., Methods: Three hundred and seventy-four children from Dutch kindergartens in the age of 5 to 6.5 years (5.6±0.4 years, 190 boys/184 girls) participated in the study. Children were recruited at Dutch kindergartens. Full classes of the last year were tested, children were excluded if there was a medical diagnosis such as a visual, auditory, motor or intellectual impairment that hinder handwriting performance. Descriptive statistics and percentiles scores were calculated. The score of the WRITIC (possible score 0-48 points) and the performance time on the Timed-TIHM and 9-HPT are classified as percentile scores lower than the 15th percentile to distinguish low performance from adequate performance. The percentile scores can be used to identify children that are possibly at risk developing handwriting difficulties in first grade., Results: WRITIC scores ranged from 23 to 48 (41±4.4), Timed-TIHM ranged from 17.9 to 64.5 seconds (31.4± 7.4 seconds) and 9-HPT ranged from 18.2 to 48.3 seconds (28.4± 5.4). A WRITIC score between 0-36, a performance time of more than 39.6 seconds on the Timed-TIHM and more than 33.8 seconds on the 9-HPT were classified as low performance., Conclusion: The reference data of the WRITIC allow to assess which children are possibly at risk developing handwriting difficulties., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist., (Copyright: © 2023 Haberfehlner et al.

Background: Dementia-friendly communities (DFCs) are seen as key to the inclusion and participation of people with dementia and carers. Dementia-friendly initiatives (DFIs) are important building blocks for the growth of DFCs. The collaboration between different stakeholders is a central aspect in developing and sustaining DFIs., Aim: This study tests and refines an initial theory about collaborating for DFIs with special attention for the involvement of people with dementia and their carers during the collaboration for DFIs. The realist approach is used for deepening contextual aspects, mechanisms, outcomes, and its explanatory power., Methods: A participatory case study design using qualitative data (focus groups, observations, reflections, minutes from meetings, and exit interviews) was executed in four Dutch municipalities that have ambitions to become dementia- friendly communities., Results: The refined theory on the collaboration for DFIs incorporates contextual aspects such as diversity, shared insights, and clarity. It draws attention to the importance of mechanisms such as the recognition of efforts and progress, informal distributed leadership, interdependency, belonging, significance, and commitment. These mechanisms resonate with feeling useful and feeling collectively powerful in the collaboration. The outcomes of collaboration were activation, getting new ideas, and fun. Our findings address how stakeholders' routines and perspectives impact the involvement of people with dementia and their carers during collaboration., Conclusion: This study provides detailed information about collaboration for DFIs. The collaboration for DFIs is largely influenced by feeling useful and collectively powerful. Further research is needed to understand how these mechanisms can be triggered with the involvement of people with dementia and their carers in the heart of the collaboration.

Background: Dementia friendly communities (DFCs) are seen as key to participation of people with dementia and carers. Dementia-friendly initiatives (DFI) are important building blocks for the growth of DFCs. Therefore, it is essential to understand how DFIs are developed and sustained to secure the growth of DFCs. This study identifies contextual factors and mechanisms that influence the development and sustainment of Dutch DFIs. It also explains how these contextual factors and mechanisms are interrelated and the outcomes to which they lead., Methods: Mixed methods, namely interviews, observations, documentation and focus groups, were used for this realist multiple case study. Participants were professionals (n = 46), volunteers (n = 20), people with dementia (n = 1) and carers (n = 2) who were involved in development and sustainment of DFIs in four Dutch DFCs., Results: This study revealed three middle-range program theories as final outcomes: development of a support base, collaboration, and participation in DFIs by people with dementia and carers. These theories address institutional, organisational, interpersonal and individual levels in the community that are essential in development and sustainment of DFIs., Conclusions: The development and sustainment of DFIs requires the development of a support base, collaboration, and participation in DFIs by people with dementia and their carers., (© 2023.

Background and Objectives: Tools to measure self-perceived communication between persons with early-stage dementia and their caregivers are lacking. Therefore, we developed a questionnaire for Experienced Communication in Dementia (ECD) with a patient version (ECD-P) and a caregiver version (ECD-C), which contains items on (a) caregiver competence, (b) social communication, (c) communication difficulties, and (d) experienced emotions. This article describes the feasibility and clinimetric evaluation of this instrument., Research Design and Methods: A prospective observational cohort study was conducted with 57 dyads (community-dwelling person with dementia and primary caregiver). ECD-P, ECD-C, and measures on quality of life, caregiver burden, cognitive functioning, physical functioning, and functional independence were administered. After 2 weeks, the dyads filled out the ECD again. Feasibility (completion time and missing values per item), internal consistency (Cronbach's α), test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficients [ICCs]), and construct validity (hypotheses testing with Spearman's r) were evaluated., Results: Mean completion time was 10 min per questionnaire. ICCs for test-retest reliability ranged from 0.67 to 0.78, except for ECD-P2 (ICC = 0.31). Internal consistency ranged from α = 0.75 to 0.82 for ECD-P1 and all parts of ECD-C, except for ECD-P2 (α = 0.66). Correlation coefficients for convergent validity ranged from r = 0.31 to 0.69 and correlation coefficients for divergent validity were r < 0.20 and statistically insignificant., Discussion and Implications: Pending future research, the ECD, except part ECD-P2, seems to be a promising tool to measure experienced communication between persons with early-stage dementia and their caregivers., (© The Author(s) 2021.

Aim: To explore the effect of an Early Intensive-Upper Limb intervention (EI-UL) compared to EI-UL with integrated Multisensory Stimulation And Priming (MuSSAP) training on improving manual ability in infants with a unilateral brain lesion., Method: A pilot randomised clinical trial with pre- and postintervention and follow-up measurements (T0, T1, and T2) was conducted. Sixteen infants with a unilateral brain lesion (corrected age is 4-10 months) received home-based intervention with video coaching. Eight infants received EI-UL and eight infants received EI-UL with integrated MuSSAP training. Primary outcome was the Hand Assessment for Infants (HAI) score. Additionally, effects were explored on initiation of goal-directed movements in both groups and on attention in the EI-UL with integrated MuSSAP training group., Results: No significant group differences in HAI scores were found. Overall, HAI 'Affected hand score' increased between T0 and T1 ( p = 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.04) and between T0 and T2 ( p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.28); and the HAI 'Both Hands Measure' increased between T0 and T1 ( p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.72) and between T0 and T2 ( p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.81). At the start of the intervention, six infants (three in both groups) did not demonstrate initiation of goal-directed contralesional upper limb movements. During the intervention one infant receiving EI-UL and all three infants receiving EI-UL with integrated MuSSAP training started to initiate goal-directed movements., Conclusion: The results suggest manual ability of infants with unilateral brain lesion improved with both interventions. We hypothesize that the integrated MuSSAP training may facilitate attention and initiation of contralesional upper limb goal-directed movements.

Aims: Performing the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment, using video material of everyday life, seems sensible to lower the patient burden, enhance ecological validity, and provide care at a distance. However, receipt of adequate video material is not self-evident and assessing videos can be challenging. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the process of gaining video material and to optimize the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos., Methods: An action design research method was used, focusing on implementation of the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos within the care of children with a mitochondrial disorder or similar symptoms., Results: Five cycles were conducted. To receive input, the cycles used videos of nine children performing activities, written feedback, and semi-structured interviews and focus groups comprising parents (n = 13), a teacher (n = 1), occupational therapists (n = 16), and other professionals (n = 2) . This led to successful implementation of the PRPP-Assessment. General lessons were learned on (1) instructing parents; (2) handling video material; (3) PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos; and (4) PRPP-Assessment of children (with limited functional abilities)., Conclusions: Lessons learned should be implemented in practice and are incorporated into a manual to guide the implementation of video-based observations with PRPP-Assessment in practice.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess whether the superior cost-effectiveness of a personalized physical therapy approach (Coach2Move)-which was demonstrated in a previous trial compared with usual care physical therapy (UCP)-can be replicated in daily clinical practice., Methods: A multicenter, cluster-randomized, stepped wedge trial with 4 clusters consisting of 4 physical therapist practices in the Netherlands was used to compare a personalized physical therapy approach to elicit physical activity (Coach2Move) versus care as usual. Multilevel analyses for effectiveness were conducted for the amount of physical activity (Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam Physical Activity Questionnaire) and functional mobility (Timed "Up & Go" Test) at 3, 6 (primary outcome), and 12 months' follow-up. Secondary outcomes were level of frailty (Evaluative Frailty Index for Physical Activity), perceived effect (Global Perceived Effect and Patient-Specific Complaints Questionnaires), quality of life (Euro Quality of Life-5 Dimensions-5 Levels [EQ-5D-5L]), and health care expenditures., Results: The 292 community-dwelling older adults with mobility problems visiting physical therapists were included in either the Coach2Move (n = 112; mean [SD] age = 82 [5] years; 60% female) or UCP (n = 180; mean [SD] age = 81 (6) years; 62% female) section of the trial. At baseline, Coach2Move participants were less physically active compared with UCP participants (mean difference = -198; 95% CI = -90 to -306 active minutes). At 6 months, between-group mean differences [95% CI] favored Coach2Move participants on physical activity levels (297 [83 to 512] active minutes), functional mobility (-14.2 [-21 to -8]) seconds), and frailty levels (-5 [-8 to -1] points). At 12 months, the physical activity levels of Coach2Move participants further increased, and frailty levels and secondary outcomes remained stable, whereas outcomes of UCP participants decreased. After the Coach2Move implementation strategy, physical therapists utilized significantly fewer treatment sessions compared with before the implementation (15 vs 22). Anticipated cost savings were not observed., Conclusion: This study replicated the results of an earlier trial and shows that Coach2Move leads to better mid- and long-term outcomes (physical activity, functional mobility, level of frailty) in fewer therapy sessions compared with UCP. Based on these and earlier findings, the implementation of Coach2Move in physical therapist practice is recommended., Impact: This article describes the implementation of the Coach2Move approach, a treatment strategy that has proven to be cost-effective in a previously conducted randomized controlled trial. Implementation of Coach2Move in a real-life setting allowed an evaluation of the effects in a clinically relevant population. Coach2Move has been shown to increase physical activity, improve functional mobility, and reduce frailty more effectively compared with UCP therapy and therefore has application for physical therapists working with older adults in daily clinical practice., Lay Summary: Coach2Move is a new physical therapy approach for older adults. Implementation of Coach2Move in daily clinical practice can help people better outcomes over a longer period of time against similar costs compared with regular physical therapy., (© The Author(s) 2022.

Background: Distal radius fracture is a common fracture of which the incidence appears to be increasing worldwide. This pilot study investigated whether 1 week of plaster cast is feasible for nonreduced (stable fractures including nondisplaced and displaced fractures) distal radius fractures., Methods: The study was a multicenter randomized clinical feasibility trial including patients from regional acute care providers. Patients with a nonreduced distal radius fracture were included in the study. Nonreduced fractures meant intra-articular or extra-articular fractures and including nondisplaced and minimal displaced fractures (dorsal angulation less than 5°-10°, maximum radial shortening of 2 mm, and maximum radial shift of 2 mm) not needing a reduction. Forty Patients were included and randomized. After 1 week of plaster cast, patients were randomized to 1 of the 2 treatment groups: plaster cast removed (intervention group) versus 4 to 5 weeks of plaster cast (control group)., Results: The analysis shows no significant differences between the 2 groups in having less pain, better function after 6 weeks, and better overall patient satisfaction. No difference was shown in secondary displacement between the 2 groups (control 1 vs intervention 0)., Conclusion: One week of plaster cast treatment for nonreduced distal radius fracture is feasible, preferred by patients, with at least the same functional outcome and pain scores., Level of Evidence: According to the Oxford 2011 level of evidence, the level of evidence of this study is 2.

Aim: To estimate the comparability and discriminability of outcome-based quality indicators by performing a practice test in Dutch physical therapy primary care, and to select a core set of outcome-based quality indicators that are well accepted by physical therapists based on their perceived added value as a quality improvement tool., Methods: First, a list of potential quality indicators was defined, followed by determination of the comparability (case-mix adjusted multilevel analysis) and discriminability (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)). Second, focus group meetings were conducted with stakeholders (physical therapists and senior researchers) to select a core set of quality indicators., Results: Overall, 229 physical therapists from 137 practices provided 2651 treatment episodes. Comparability: in 10 of the 11 case-mix adjusted models, the ICC increased compared with the intercept-only model. Discriminability: the ICC ranged between 0.01 and 0.34, with five of the 11 ICCs being >0.10. The majority of physical therapists in each focus group preferred the inclusion of seven quality indicators in the core set, including three process and four outcome indicators based upon the 6-min walk test (6MWT), the Clinical COPD Questionnaire (CCQ), and the determination of quadriceps strength using a hand-held dynamometer., Conclusion: This is the first study to describe the comparability and discriminability of the outcome-based quality indicators selected for patients with COPD treated in primary care physical therapy practices. Future research should focus on increasing data collection in daily practice and on the development of tangible methods to use as the core set of a quality improvement tool., Competing Interests: Conflict of interest: A.C.

Background: Coach2Move is a person-centered physical therapy intervention that has demonstrated success in changing physical activity behaviors among older adults in the Netherlands. In this manuscript, we describe how we developed an implementation plan for Coach2move in a U.S. population and healthcare system using Implementation Mapping., Methods: We established an implementation planning team of researchers, patients, and clinicians. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research provided an overall structure for consideration of the context for implementation. Implementation Mapping guided the planning process. The implementation planning team worked sequentially through the five tasks of Implementation Mapping (1) Identify needs, program adopters and implementers; (2) Identify adoption and implementation outcomes, performance objectives, determinants, and matrices of change; (3) Choose theoretical models and implementation strategies; (4) Produce implementation protocols; (5) Evaluate implementation outcomes. In this manuscript, we identify our evaluation plan but not results as data collection is ongoing., Results: Clinic managers and physical therapists were identified as program adopters and implementors. Performance objectives necessary steps to achieving implementation outcomes were linked to Coach2Move fidelity indicators with implementation by the physical therapist. These included delivery of person-centered care, motivational interviewing, meaningful goal setting, shared decision-making in planning, and systematic monitoring and follow-up. Determinants linked to these performance objectives included knowledge, outcome expectations, skills and self-efficacy, and perceived norms. Implementation strategies were selected based on a review of methods effective for influencing these determinants. This resulted in four primary strategies (1) educational meetings and dynamic training, (2) peer-assessment meetings, (3) changing the electronic health record template, and (4) reminders and prompts. Measures of intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility will be collected after training and early in implementation. Fidelity and effectiveness measures will be collected over the next 12-months., Conclusion: Implementation mapping provided a systematic process for identifying what physical therapists would need to implement Coach2Move with fidelity. The result was a matrix linking behavioral determinants and performance objectives. These matrices of change allowed for systematic identification and tailoring of implementation strategies to the needs of our population and setting. The process was acceptable to diverse stakeholders, facilitated communication across stakeholders., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Thackeray, Waring, Hoogeboom, Nijhuis-van Der Sanden, Hess, Fritz, Conroy and Fernandez.)

Background: Although early home-based upper limb training programs are promising, in-depth understanding of parents' experiences with these programs is still limited. We developed an early home-based upper limb training program for infants and toddlers (8-36 months) with or at risk of unilateral cerebral palsy using video coaching for parents. The aim of this qualitative study was to evaluate parents' experiences with the home-based training program using a video coaching approach in order to optimize implementation strategies., Methods: We held semi-structured interviews with parents of 13 children with unilateral cerebral palsy, who participated in our program in the period from 2014 - 2017. On average, parents had delivered two training periods of the program at the time of the interviews. Interviews were analyzed using inductive thematic content analysis., Results: We identified three overarching interacting themes that shaped the experiences of parents with the program: 1) Parental learning comprising the subthemes parents' training competencies and the facilitative and reinforcing role of video coaching, 2) Parental load comprising the subthemes flexibility of the program, supportive network, competing demands, and child's mood and functional capacities, and 3) Parental perseverance comprising the subthemes beliefs and expectancies and seeing child's functional improvements., Conclusions: For successful implementation of an early home-based upper limb training program using video coaching, support in delivering home-training from a therapist or from others within parents' social network, is needed to relieve parental load. Seeing functional improvements of their child on the videos increased parents' motivation to continue with the training. Positively phrased feedback from an occupational therapist stimulated parents' perseverance and training competency., (© 2022. The Author(s).)

Background: Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD-C) have motor coordination deficits which lead to difficulties in sports and play activities that require adaptations of the walking pattern. Sports and play often involve performing dual tasks, which affects performance in DCD-C more than in typically developing children (TD-C). So far, testing the impact of dual tasking on walking adaptability in DCD-C has received little scientific attention., Research Question: We tested the hypothesis that 6-12 year old DCD-C will show lower levels of walking adaptability than TD-C, and that due to problems with automatization this difference will increase when they are forced to divide their attention between tasks when a concurrent visuo-motor or cognitive task is added., Methods: Twenty-six DCD-C and sixty-nine TD-C were included in this cross-sectional study. They performed a challenging walking adaptability (WA) task on a treadmill as a single, a visuo-motor dual and a cognitive dual task at a pace of 3.5 km/h. Repeated measures ANCOVAs were performed with condition (single/dual task) as within-subjects factor, group (TD/DCD) as between-subjects factor, and age as covariate., Results: DCD-C performed poorer on the WA task than TD-C. The group differences increased when a concurrent visuo-motor task was added, but not when adding a concurrent cognitive task. A significant effect of age was found with younger children performing worse on all tasks., Significance: The results highlight the problems DCD-C have with walking adaptability and dual tasks, which capacities are essential for full participation in sports and play activities. Future research should investigate whether DCD-C may benefit from task-specific walking adaptability training., (Copyright © 2022 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.)

Objective: SSc is a complex CTD affecting mental and physical health. Fatigue, hand function loss, and RP are the most prevalent disease-specific symptoms of systemic sclerosis. This study aimed to develop consensus and evidence-based recommendations for non-pharmacological treatment of these symptoms., Methods: A multidisciplinary task force was installed comprising 20 Dutch experts. After agreeing on the method for formulating the recommendations, clinically relevant questions about patient education and treatments were inventoried. During a face-to-face task force meeting, draft recommendations were generated through a systematically structured discussion, following the nominal group technique. To support the recommendations, an extensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE and six other databases until September 2020, and 20 key systematic reviews, randomized controlled trials, and published recommendations were selected. Moreover, 13 Dutch medical specialists were consulted on non-pharmacological advice regarding RP and digital ulcers. For each recommendation, the level of evidence and the level of agreement was determined., Results: Forty-one evidence and consensus-based recommendations were developed, and 34, concerning treatments and patient education of fatigue, hand function loss, and RP/digital ulcers-related problems, were approved by the task force., Conclusions: These 34 recommendations provide guidance on non-pharmacological treatment of three of the most frequently described symptoms in patients with systemic sclerosis. The proposed recommendations can guide referrals to health professionals, inform the content of non-pharmacological interventions, and can be used in the development of national and international postgraduate educational offerings., (© The Author(s) 2021.

Purpose: Walking adaptability is essential for children to participate in daily life, but no objective measurement tools exist. We determined psychometric properties of the Walking Adaptability Ladder test for Kids (WAL-K) in 6-12 year old children., Materials and Methods: In total, 122 typically developing (TD) children and 26 children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) completed the single and double run conditions of the WAL-K. Intra-rater, inter-rater and test-retest reliability were determined by ICCs and Smallest Detectable Change (SDC) in 53 TD children. Construct validity was determined by comparing WAL-K scores between 69 TD and all DCD children and correlating these scores with age and MABC-2 scores., Results: ICCs for reliability varied between 0.76 and 0.99. Compared to the first test performance, WAL-K scores were lower (i.e., better) at retest. SDCs for test-retest reliability varied between 20.8 and 26.1% of the mean scores. WAL-K scores were significantly higher (i.e., worse) in DCD children compared to TD children ( p  < 0.001). Significant negative correlations were found with MABC-2 (-0.52 and -0.60) and age (-0.61 and -0.68)., Conclusions: The WAL-K shows to be a valid, reliable and easy-to-use tool for measuring walking adaptability in children. Adding an extra practice trial may reduce the observed learning effect.Implications for rehabilitationWalking adaptability is an essential skill for children to participate in daily life, but no objective measurement tools are available.The Walking Adaptability Ladder test for Kids (WAL-K) is a new measurement tool for evaluating walking adaptability in children.The WAL-K shows to be a reliable and valid measurement tool for evaluating walking adaptability in 6-12 year old children.

Background: Treatment of temporomandibular disorder (TMD) currently consists of a combination of noninvasive therapies and may be supported by e-Health. It is, however, unclear if physical therapists and patients are positive towards the use of e-Health., Purpose: To assess the needs, facilitators and barriers of the use of an e-Health application from the perspective of both orofacial physical therapists and patients with TMD., Methods: A descriptive qualitative study was performed. Eleven physical therapists and nine patients with TMD were interviewed using a topic guide. Thematic analysis was applied, and findings were ordered according to four themes: acceptance of e-Health, expected utility, usability and convenience., Results: Physical therapists identified the need for e-Health as a supporting application to send questionnaires, animated exercises and evaluation tools. Key facilitators for both physical therapists and patients for implementing e-Health included the increase in self-efficacy, support of data collection and personalization of the application. Key barriers are the increase of screen time, the loss of personal contact, not up-to-date information and poor design of the application., Conclusions: Physical therapists and patients with TMD are positive towards the use of e-Health, in a blended form with the usual rehabilitation care process for TMD complaints.Implications for rehabilitationThe rehabilitation process of temporomandibular complaints may be supported by the use of e-Health applications.Physical therapists and patients with temporomandibular disorders are positive towards the use of e-Health as an addition to the usual care.Especially during the treatment process, there is a need for clear animated videos and reminders for the patients.

Objectives: To describe and explain the outcomes of community dementia friendly initiatives (DFIs) for people with dementia and their caregivers to inform the development and tailoring of DFIs., Methods: Literature searches on DFIs were performed through two systematic online database searches of PubMed, Embase, ASSIA, CINAHL and Google scholar. Papers were only included if they evaluated outcomes using empirical data from people with dementia or caregivers. Data collection and analysis were guided by the categorization in the DEM-FACT taxonomy and RAMESES guidelines for realist reviews., Results: Of 7154 records identified, 22 papers were included with qualitative, mixed method and quantitative study designs. The synthesis led to a description of programme theories addressing caring, stimulating and activating communities. Outcomes for people with dementia and caregivers included having contact with others, enjoyment and decrease of stress and, lastly, support. This synthesis also indicated how people with dementia participated in a specific role in DFIs, such as patient, team member or active citizen., Conclusions: DFIs generate different outcomes for people with dementia and caregivers, depending on the kind of initiative and the specific role for people with dementia. These findings could be a catalyst for initiation and further development of DFIs in a dementia friendly community (DFC). This draws attention to the multiple aspects of DFCs and supports reflection on their essential principles., (© 2021 The Authors.

Background: Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have motor coordination deficits leading to difficulties in sports and play that require adaptations of the walking pattern. Children with DCD indeed demonstrate poorer walking adaptability (WA) compared to typically developing children, but it remains elusive whether WA can be improved by training., Research Question: Does augmented-reality treadmill training lead to improvements in WA in children with DCD?, Methods: Seventeen children with DCD were included in this proof-of-concept intervention study. They received a six-session training on the C-mill, a treadmill on which gait adjustments can be evoked by projected visual context. The effect of the training was evaluated before (M1), directly after training (M2) and after 6 months follow-up (M3) using the WAL-K (single and double run) and WA-tasks on the C-mill (as a single and with concurrent visuo-motor and cognitive task). In addition, parents completed a questionnaire on their perception of the training. Linear Mixed Model analyses were performed to assess the differences in WAL-K scores and success rates on the WA-tasks between M1-M2 and M1-M3., Results: Children significantly improved on the WAL-K double run and on all three WA-tasks between M1-M2 and M1-M3. Children did not improve on the WAL-K single run. Parents found the training useful and fun for their child and indicated that their child fell less frequently., Significance: The results show that C-mill training had positive and task-specific effects on WA in children with DCD, which effects generalized to an overground task and were retained at 6 months follow-up. This may help children with DCD to better participate in daily activities. Future research should include a control group to examine the effectiveness of the training program compared to receiving no training and may also examine the effect of the training on participation in daily life., (Copyright © 2021 The Authors.

Background: After discharge, stroke survivors and their informal caregivers need support from their social networks to resume their most valued activities. Rehabilitation professionals could help them establish a strong support system., Objective: Explore how older stroke survivors and their primary informal caregivers expect to resume their valued activities after discharge, and discover their ideas about involving, informing and educating their family members, friends and important others during inpatient rehabilitation so that, once home, they will have adequate support., Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with stroke survivors from three geriatric rehabilitation centres and their primary informal caregivers, used the pictures of daily activities to elicit their perspectives, and applied a descriptive and interpretive design to data analysis., Results: Many participants had no concrete idea about how to resume their activities after discharge but nevertheless were optimistic they would. They expected help to be available and saw no need for professionals to involve their network during inpatient rehabilitation. However, once they had insight into the challenges to expect after discharge, they often appreciated the idea of professionals contacting their network. To better understand the challenges after discharge, it was helpful if professionals provided concrete, honest information about the stroke's consequences for daily life. Actually doing daily activities also helped gain better insights., Conclusions: To enhance insight in the need of social support after discharge, we suggest that rehabilitation professionals are honest about what to expect and let stroke survivors explore their valued activities in a realistic context more often.

Background: The optimal treatment for a distal radius fracture (DRF) remains an ongoing discussion. This study observed whether early activity postinjury can lead to the prevention of type 1 complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS-1). Method: Patients who underwent nonoperative treatment for a DRF were invited to participate in this study. Patients followed an exercise program with progressive loading exercises at home immediately after cast removal. After a minimum of 3 months, patients were interviewed by telephone to determine the presence of disproportionate pain. If present, the patients were seen during a clinical consultation to determine whether they had CRPS-1, using the Budapest Diagnostic Criteria. Results: Of the 129 patients included in this study, 12 reported disproportionate pain, and none were diagnosed with CRPS-1. The incidence of CRPS-1 was zero in this study. Conclusion: A more active treatment approach seems to lower the incidence of CRPS-1. A larger randomized study is necessary to strengthen the evidence.

Purpose: Chronic spasticity poses a major burden on patients after stroke. Intramuscular botulinum toxin injections constitute an important part of the treatment for patients suffering from troublesome focal spasticity. This study explores the experienced consequences of chronic spasticity amongst patients after stroke regarding physical impairments and activities, the experienced effects of botulinum toxin treatment on these domains, and whether current spasticity management addresses patients' needs., Materials and Methods: Fourteen participants with chronic spasticity after stroke who were treated with cyclical botulinum toxin injections in the upper and/or lower extremity muscles were interviewed. Inductive thematic analysis generated representative themes., Results: Analyses of the interviews revealed three themes: (1) spasticity-related impairments and activity limitations; (2) fluctuations in spasticity related to botulinum toxin; (3) need for professional support and feedback. Besides motor impairments, participants experienced activity limitations in many domains of everyday life, with considerable day-to-day fluctuations. Moreover, treatment with botulinum toxin led to cyclical fluctuations in spasticity-related symptoms, which differed across participants. The participants called for shared responsibility for treatment, particularly regarding optimising the timing of injections., Conclusion: Incorporating patient-relevant outcomes into the current assessment of spasticity and monitoring these outcomes may improve spasticity management, particularly regarding the timing of botulinum toxin injections.Implications for rehabilitationBecause chronic spasticity after stroke impacts on almost all domains of everyday life, professionals should identify and target the most relevant problems in each individual patient.Monitoring patient-reported outcomes may help patients and professionals to get insight in the fluctuations of spasticity-related symptoms and may help to evaluate the effects of botulinum toxin injections from the patient's perspective.Patient education and providing insight in the fluctuations of spasticity-related symptoms may support self-management and shared decision-making in spasticity management.

This study mapped existing health-promotion provisions targeting adults in professional football clubs across England, the Netherlands, Norway, and Portugal, and explored motives behind the clubs' adoption of the European Fans in Training (EuroFIT) programme. We surveyed top-tier football clubs in the four countries and interviewed representatives from football clubs and the clubs' charitable foundation who delivered EuroFIT. The findings showed large between-country differences, with football clubs in England reporting far greater healthy lifestyle provision than other countries. Relatively few health-promotion programmes targeted adults, particularly in the Netherlands, Portugal, and Norway. Club representatives reported that the motives for adopting the EuroFIT programme often involved adhering to both the social objectives of the football club or club's foundation and business-related objectives. They viewed the scientific evidence and evaluation underpinning EuroFIT as helpful in demonstrating the value and potential future impact of both the programme and the clubs' wider corporate social responsibility provision., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) can create a temporary or permanent disability that reduce a person's ability to work. Physiotherapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs) and exercise therapists (ETs) are often involved in the early management of MSDs. There is a need for additional insights into therapists' experiences, barriers and needs to work-focused care. Moreover, there is no evidence on how OTs and ETs address work participation. Therefore, the aim of this qualitative study was 1) to investigate how generalist PTs, OTs and ETs provide work-focused healthcare and 2) to obtain insight into their perceived barriers and needs that affect their ability to address occupational factors., Methods: An exploratory qualitative study using three focus groups. Generalist PTs, OTs and ETs were eligible to participate if they treated working patients with MSDs. A semi-structured interview guide with open-ended questions was developed. Two moderators facilitated each focus group using the interview guide, and all the groups were audio recorded. Data were analysed using inductive thematic analysis., Results: Sixteen therapists (mean age 44 years, range 25-59) participated in this study. Participants were aware of the importance of taking occupational factors into account. Whether they address occupational factors is largely dependent on the patient's request for help. However, ETs and OTs consider it normal to ask about occupational factors during the diagnostic process, while PTs often address this in later consultations. Almost all participants were unaware of the existence of PTs, OTs or ETs who are specialised in occupational health. Moreover, almost all participants struggled with when to refer a patient to other (occupational) healthcare professionals. This study identified several needs of therapists. These included knowledge about laws and legislation and skills for identifying and addressing work-related or work-relevant complaints., Conclusions: Participants in this qualitative study were aware of the importance of taking occupational factors into account. However, how PTs, OTs and ETs address work participation and the extent to which they do so can be improved. There was a lack of knowledge about and cooperation with occupational health professionals, including PTs, OTs or ETs specialised in occupational health., (© 2021. The Author(s).)

Objective: To research the difference in shoulder morbidity and health-related quality of life between patients with cT 1-2 N0 oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma that undergo either elective neck dissection (END) or a sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) based approach of the neck., Materials and Methods: A longitudinal study with measurements before surgery, 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. Shoulder morbidity were determined with measurements of active range of motion of the shoulder and patient-reported outcomes for shoulder morbidity (SDQ, SPADI) and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) (EQ5D, EORTC-QLQ-HN35). Linear mixed model analyses were used to analyze differences over time between patients that had END, SLNB or SLNB followed by complementing neck dissection., Results: We included 69 patients. Thirty-three patients were treated with END. Twenty-seven patients had SLNB without complementing neck dissection (SLNB), and nine were diagnosed lymph node positive followed by completion neck dissection (SLNB + ND). Ipsilateral shoulder abduction (P = .031) and forward flexion (P = .039) were significantly better for the SLNB group at 6 weeks post-intervention compared to the END and SLNB + ND group. No significant differences for shoulder morbidity, or health-related quality of life were found at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months between the three groups., Conclusion: With oncologic equivalence for the END and SLNB as strategies for the cN 0 neck already demonstrated, and the SLNB being more cost-effective, our demonstrated benefit in short-term shoulder function strengthens the choice for the SLNB as a preferred treatment strategy., (Copyright © 2021 The Authors.

Purpose: Family-centered care has been implemented in the ICU to meet relatives' needs concerning information, support, participation and shared decision making. This study explores the needs, beliefs, feelings and behaviors of relatives of patients admitted to the ICU regarding participation during physical activity., Methods: Longitudinal qualitative study design following a grounded theory approach. Relatives were interviewed at 4, 8 and 12 days after the patient's ICU-admission. Data were analyzed using constant comparison., Results: Twenty-five interviews were conducted in ten relatives. Relatives believed that physical activity in the ICU improves recovery. Participating in physical activity decreased their feelings of powerlessness and uselessness. Relatives mentioned that they would be stimulated to participate if they were invited, guided and informed by healthcare providers. The perceived reticence of healthcare providers, patient's health-changing capacity and the inability to communicate led to a more passive attitude towards participation., Conclusions: The conceptual model shows how family participation during physical activity changes from a passive role, with negative beliefs and feelings of uselessness and powerlessness, to a more proactive participatory role. Relatives felt more useful and like they were part of the team. Providing relatives with additional information might be a viable strategy to help and stimulate participation., Competing Interests: Declaration of Competing Interest The listed authors have no competing interests., (Copyright © 2021 The Authors.

Objective: To gain insight into the level of unmet needs and limitations in physical health experienced by survivors of head and neck cancer, and to evaluate whether unmet needs in physical health and limitations in physical performance are associated., Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, unmet needs were measured with Supportive Care Needs Surveys (SCNS-SF34, SCNS-HNC). Limitations in physical health were measured for maximal mouth opening, neck and shoulder function, hand grip strength and lower body strength, level of mobility and walking ability., Results: The SCNSs showed that 48% had a cancer generic unmet need and 46% had at least one HNC-specific unmet need. In total, 76% of sHNC had a cancer generic limitation in physical health and that 58% had an HNC-specific limitation in the mobility of neck and shoulders or maximum mouth opening. The domain of physical and daily living needs showed a weak association with lateral flexion of the neck to the left (R = -0.319; p = 0.024)., Conclusion: Survivors of HNC might benefit from the use of both SCNSs and physical performance measurements during usual care follow-up for early and optimal identification of unmet needs and limitations in physical health., (© 2021 The Authors.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to define and select a core set of outcome-based quality indicators, accepted by stakeholders on usability and perceived added value as a quality improvement tool, and to formulate recommendations for the next implementation step., Methods: In phase 1, 15 potential quality indicators were defined for patient-reported outcome measures and associated domains, namely the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain intensity, the Patient Specific Functioning Scale (PSFS) for physical activity, the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale for physical functioning, and the Global Perceived Effect-Dutch Version for perceived effect. Their comparability and discriminatory characteristics were described using cohort data. In phase 2, a core set of quality indicators was selected based on consensus among stakeholders in focus group meetings., Results: In total, 65,815 completed treatment episodes for patients with nonspecific low back pain were provided by 1009 physical therapists from 219 physical therapist practices. The discriminability between physical therapists of all potential 15 quality indicators was adequate, with intraclass correlation coefficients between 0.08 and 0.30. Stakeholders selected a final core set of 6 quality indicators: 2 process indicators (the routine measurement of NPRS and the PSFS) and 4 outcome indicators (pretreatment and posttreatment change scores for the NPRS, PSFS, Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale, and the minimal clinically important difference of the Global Perceived Effect-Dutch Version)., Conclusion: This study described and selected a core set of outcome-based quality indicators for physical therapy in patients with nonspecific low back pain. The set was accepted by stakeholders for having added value for daily practice in physical therapy primary care and was found useful for quality improvement initiatives. Further studies need to focus on improvement of using the core set of outcome-based quality indicators as a quality monitoring and evaluation instrument., Impact: Patient-reported outcome-based quality indicators developed from routinely collected clinical data are promising for use in quality improvement in daily practice., (© The Author(s) 2021.

Introduction: People with haemophilia suffer from haemophilic joint disease that may result in physical inactivity and overweight. Shared medical appointments (SMAs) might help limit the consequences of haemophilic arthropathy. SMAs are group meetings supervised by one or more healthcare professionals that can be utilized to improve lifestyle., Aim: To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of SMAs in people with haemophilia to improve physical activity and eating habits., Methods: A multiple baseline single-case design was used. Overweight people with haemophilia were eligible to participate. Seven weekly SMAs were conducted using multiple behavioural change techniques to improve physical activity and eating habits. Feasibility of SMAs was evaluated using (a) dropout rate, (b) occurrence of adverse events (AEs), (c) adherence rate and (d) patient satisfaction. During 13 weeks, physical activity was measured daily and eating habits were measured three times per week. The efficacy of SMAs was determined using randomization tests and visual data inspection., Results: Out of the six men participating in the study, one participant dropped out. No study-related AEs occurred. The adherence rate of SMAs was 80%, and participants reported to be 'very satisfied' with the SMAs. Randomization tests and visual analyses demonstrated (statistical) improvements in physical activity (p = .03). No effect was found in self-reported eating habits (p = .55)., Conclusion: Shared medical appointments are feasible in people with haemophilia and appear to improve physical activity. The effect on improving eating habits could not be established. Scientific replication of our approach is warranted to confirm or refute the merit of SMAs in people with haemophilia., (© 2021 The Authors. Haemophilia published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore differences in sedentary behavior, length of hospital stay, and discharge destination of patients before and after the Ban Bedcentricity implementation at ward level., Methods: The Ban Bedcentricity innovation and implementation procedure were implemented at the cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, and orthopedics-traumatology wards. Sedentary behavior data were collected 2 weeks before and after the implementation using behavioral observations and analyzed with Pearson chi-square. Length of hospital stay and discharge destination data were collected from all admitted patients and analyzed with multiple and logistic regression analyses., Results: Behavioral observations showed that in 52% of the observations, patients were lying in bed before implementation and 40% after implementation at the cardiothoracic surgery, 64% and 46% at the cardiology, and 53% and 57% at the orthopedics-traumatology wards, respectively. The mean length of hospital stay after implementation (compared with implementation before) was 5.1 days at the cardiothoracic surgery (n = 1923; mean = +0.13 days, 95% CI = -0.32 to 0.60), 2.6 days at the cardiology (n = 2646; mean = -0.22 days, 95% CI = -0.29 to -0.14), and 2.4 days at the orthopedics-traumatology wards (n = 1598; mean = +0.28 days, 95% CI = 0.06 to 0.50). After the implementation, more patients were discharged home from the cardiothoracic surgery (odds ratio [OR = 1.23], 95% CI = 1.07 to 1.37) and cardiology wards (OR = 1.37, 95% CI = 1.22 to 1.49), and no statistically significant difference was found at the orthopedics-traumatology ward (OR = 1.09, 95% CI = 0.88 to 1.27)., Conclusion: The results indicate beneficial outcomes after the implementation with less sedentary behavior and proportionately more patients being discharged home compared with before the implementation. However, little information is available about the adoption and fidelity of Ban Bedcentricity; therefore, outcomes should be interpreted with caution., Impact: This multifaceted innovation to reduce sedentary behavior of patients during the hospital stay seems to be promising, with outcomes indicating less sedentary behavior in patients and more patients being discharged home after the implementation., Lay Summary: We introduced Ban Bedcentricity, an intervention to reduce the amount of time patients lie in the hospital bed during their hospitalization. This study shows that after the introduction of Ban Bedcentricity, patients lie in bed less and are more often discharged home., (© The Author(s) 2021.

The objective is to describe the spectrum of the health professional (HP) treatment approach for systemic sclerosis (SSc) from the perspective of Dutch HPs, including alignment of treatment goals set by HPs with self-reported referral reasons, coverage of patient-reported unmet care needs, and quality of communication between HPs and rheumatologists. Dutch HPs were invited through their patients with SSc to complete an anonymous online survey. The survey covered referral reasons, treatment goals, and interventions of the last patient treated, as well as the perceived quality of communication between HPs and rheumatologists. Referral reasons and treatment targets were linked to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health following the refined ICF Linking Rules. Seventy-nine HPs from 8 professions (including 58 physiotherapists, 73%) completed the survey. One hundred and thirty-three different referral reasons were reported, yielding 58 different ICF codes, with 41 (70.7%) being linked to the ICF domain "body structures and functions." The reported interventions focused on body functions/structures (27.9%), training of daily activities (25.6%), education and advice (26.3%), and psychosocial interventions (20.2%). The quality of communication between HPs and rheumatologists was perceived as low. Our findings revealed numerous treatment options offered by Dutch HPs addressing the unmet care needs of patients with SSc. There is an overlap in the content of the various HP disciplines, and HP treatment goals are not sufficiently aligned with referrals of rheumatologists. HP treatment offer seemed inefficiently organized, possibly precluding rheumatologists from making targeted referrals. Communication between rheumatologists and HPs should be improved.

Objective: To (1) classify patients who are recovering from total knee arthroplasty (TKA) based on walking speed during an early physical therapy program, and (2) assess whether walking-speed trajectory predicts performance on the timed up-and-go (TUG) test., Design: Cohort study., Methods: We included 218 patients from a 10-day physical therapy program after TKA. A latent class mixed model was used to classify patients according to their walking-speed trajectory during the program. We assessed the change in TUG test score from pre-TKA to 6 weeks and 1 year after TKA. The association between change in TUG test score and walking-speed trajectory was assessed using multivariable regression., Results: There were 2 groups with distinct walking-speed trajectories: a high-gain group (46%) and a low-gain group (54%). There was no significant association between change in TUG test score and walking-speed trajectory after TKA and physical therapy. Function (based on TUG test performance) improved for all patients 1 year after TKA, irrespective of walking-speed trajectory (ie, high or low gain) early in postoperative physical therapy., Conclusion: Although we distinguished different groups based on functional outcomes during physical therapy, the clinical relevance of classifying patients based on walking speed remains unclear, as it did not predict short- and long-term functional outcomes.

Background: A national clinical registry was established in the Netherlands containing data directly sampled from electronic health record systems of physical therapists (PTs). This registry aims to evaluate the potential of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) to develop quality indicators (QIs) in physical therapy care., Purpose: To test to what extent the collected PROM data are reliable, valid and discriminatory between practices in measuring outcomes of patients with non-specific low back pain (NSLBP)., Methods: In this retrospective cohort study 865 PT practices with 6,560 PTs voluntarily collected PROM data of patients with NSLBP, using the Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS), the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Patient Specific Functioning Scale (PSFS). Reliability was determined by analysing the completeness of the dataset, the comparability by using national reference data, and through checking selection bias in the included patients. Validity was tested using the known-groups contrast between patients with (sub)acute vs. chronic NSLBP. To determine discriminative ability of outcomes between PT practices, case-mix corrected hierarchical multilevel analyses were performed., Results: Reliability was sufficient by confirming fifteen of the sixteen hypotheses: 59% of all patients opted in for data analysis, 42% of these included patients showed repeated measurement, comparing with reference data and potential selection bias showed < 5% between group differences, while differences between (sub)acute and chronic NSLB-groups were significantly larger than 5% (less treatment sessions, lager differences in outcomes in (sub)acute NSLB patients). In addition, all nine adjusted hierarchical multilevel models confirm that the collected dataset on outcomes in PT care is able to discriminate between practices using PROM results of patients with NSLBP (ICC-scores range 0.11-0.21)., Limitations: Although we have shown the reliability, validity and discriminative ability of the dataset in the quest to develop QIs, we are aware that reducing missing values in patient records and the selective participation of PTs that belong to the innovators needs attention in the next stages of implementation to avoid bias in the results., Conclusion: PROMs of patients with NSLBP collected in the national clinical registry of KNGF are reliable, valid and able to discriminate between primary care PT practices., Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.

Background and purpose - It is unclear what degree of malalignment of a fracture of the distal radius benefits from reduction. This study addressed the following questions: (1) What is the interobserver reliability of surgeons concerning the recommendation for a reduction for dorsally displaced distal radius fractures? (2) Do expert-based criteria for reduction improve reliability or not?Methods - We sent out 2 surveys to a group of international hand and fracture surgeons. On the first survey, 80 surgeons viewed radiographs of 95 dorsally displaced (0° to 25°) fractures of the distal radius. The second survey randomized 68 participants to either receive or not receive expert-based criteria for when to reduce a fracture and then viewed 20 radiographs of fractures with dorsal angulation between 5° and 15°. All participants needed to indicate whether they would advise a reduction or not.Results - In the 1st study, the interrater reliability of advising a reduction was fair (kappa 0.31). Multivariable linear regression analyses indicated that each additional degree of dorsal angulation increased the chance of recommending a reduction by 3%. In the 2nd study, reading criteria for reduction did not increase interobserver reliability for recommending a reduction.Interpretation - There is notable variation in recommendations for reduction that is not accounted for by surgeon or patient factors and is not diminished by exposure to expert criteria. Surgeons should be aware of their biases and develop strategies to inform patients and share the decision regarding whether to reduce a fracture of the distal radius.

Purpose: To understand how the social network of patients with acquired brain injury facilitates or hinders resumption of their activities, such as social and leisure activities, and how this affects patients' well-being and quality of life., Methods: Thematic analysis was applied to 70 narratives about family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues helping or hindering patients in resuming their activities. The narratives were derived from social workers with extensive experience with brain-injured patients and their social networks., Results: The narratives show that an available, understanding and well-informed network enhances activity resumption by being inclusive and encouraging patients to develop their skills. This is in line with earlier studies based on patients' experiences. Whereas the patient-based studies emphasize that being unsupportive or overprotective hinders patients from resuming their activities, this study also shows that preventing patients from meeting others or placing too-high demands results in activity loss, social isolation and reduced well-being and quality of life., Conclusions: Several social network factors play a role in activity resumption, well-being, and quality of life of after brain injury. Early after the brain injury, rehabilitation professionals should work with patients' family members, friends, and others and educate them about how to provide adequate support.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONSince the patient's social network is an important determinant of activity resumption, rehabilitation professionals should analyze its features soon after brain injury, such as whether patients have an understanding network that encourages them and includes them in their activities.Since especially close network members tend to be protective of or place high demands on the patient, rehabilitation professionals should explain to them the importance of activity resumption for the patient's wellbeing and the adverse effects of being overprotective or over-demanding.Rehabilitation professionals should include other network members, such as friends or colleagues, in the rehabilitation process and educate them about how to support patients in resuming their activities.

Background: Alignment adequate to offer nonoperative treatment after reduction of a distal radial fracture is a matter of opinion. This study addressed factors associated with interobserver reliability of satisfaction with alignment after the reduction of a distal radial fracture., Methods: A survey sent to members of the Science of Variation Group divided the participants into 4 groups that each rated 24 sets of radiographs of adult patients with a distal radial fracture before and after manipulative reduction and cast or splint immobilization. This resulted in a total of 96 fractures rated by 111 participants. Observers indicated whether they were satisfied with the reduction, meaning that nonoperative treatment was an option, or not, meaning that they recommend surgery. The Fleiss kappa was used to measure reliability., Results: There was fair reliability of satisfaction with reduction of a distal radial fracture (kappa, 0.34 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.28 to 0.41]). No surgeon factors were associated with variations in reliability. Multivariable linear regression analysis indicated that every degree decrease in dorsal angulation of the distal part of the radius on the lateral radiograph increased satisfaction by a mean of 1% (beta, -0.01 [95% CI, -0.02 to -0.006]; p = 0.001); each millimeter decrease in the anterior-to-posterior distance between the dorsal and volar articular margins on the lateral radiograph increased satisfaction by 3% (beta, -0.03 [95% CI, -0.04 to -0.005]; p = 0.014), and each millimeter decrease in ulnar positive variance increased satisfaction by 6% (beta, -0.06 [95% CI, -0.08 to -0.03]; p < 0.001), accounting for 44% of the observed variation., Conclusions: Surgeons are influenced by radiographic deformity, but do not agree on adequate alignment after reduction of a distal radial fracture., Clinical Relevance: Greater involvement of patients in decisions with regard to acceptable deformity has the potential to decrease treatment variation., Competing Interests: Disclosure: The authors indicated that no external funding was received for any aspect of this work.

Introduction: Risk factors for pelvic floor disorders are often related to pregnancy and delivery. Consistent evidence is needed to develop prevention strategies targeting risk factors. The objective of this study is to identify which pregnancy- and/or obstetric-related risk factors can predict urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, or pelvic organ prolapse later in life by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis., Material and Methods: Systematic review Prospero number: CRD42019131758. Literature searches of PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library were conducted according to PRISMA guidelines (April 2020). Prospective cohort studies describing more than two pregnancy- and/or obstetric-related risk factors on urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence (including flatal incontinence), or pelvic organ prolapse were eligible. Risk of bias was assessed (using Quality In Prognosis Studies [QUIPS]). Studies with high risk of bias were excluded. Data were extracted and checked for accuracy with the CHARMS checklist. Sub-groups were used to distinguish between a short- and long-term follow-up period: <18 months (shortterm) and >18 months (long-term) postpartum. Odds ratios were calculated from reported prevalence rates. Log odds ratios were calculated using SPSS v.24. Variables were pooled using RevMan5., Results: Data were extracted from nineteen studies for urinary incontinence, nine for fecal incontinence, and two for pelvic organ prolapse. Multivariate analysis was not possible because of the heterogeneity of the population and outcome measures. Pooled univariate risk factors for urinary incontinence were: urinary incontinence during pregnancy, instrumental vaginal delivery, episiotomy, tears, and constipation. Pooled univariate risk factors for fecal incontinence were: fecal incontinence during pregnancy, maternal age over 35 years, prenatal body mass index over 30 kg/m 2 , instrumental vaginal delivery, a spontaneous vaginal delivery, oxytocin augmentation, and when the weight of the newborn was more than 4000 g. Both studies for pelvic organ prolapse had a short-term follow-up period and cesarean section was the only risk factor that could be pooled., Conclusions: Pregnancy- and obstetric-related risk factors predicting pelvic floor disorders postpartum are multifactorial and differ between pelvic floor disorders. The strongest risk factor for incontinence later in life was incontinence during pregnancy. Better quality research with long-term follow up is needed on this topic., (© 2020 Nordic Federation of Societies of Obstetrics and Gynecology.)

Background : In infants with indications of upper cervical dysfunction, the Flexion-Rotation-Test and Lateral-Flexion-Test are used to indicate reduced upper cervical range-of-motion (ROM). In infants, the inter-rater reliability of these tests is unknown. Objective : To assess the inter-rater reliability of subjectively and objectively measured ROM by using the Flexion-Rotation-Test and Lateral-Flexion-Test. Methods : 36 infants (<6 months) and three manual therapists participated in this cross-sectional observational study. Pairs of two manual therapists independently assessed infants' upper cervical ROM using the Flexion-Rotation-Test and Lateral-Flexion-Test, blinded for each other's outcomes. Two inertial motion sensors objectively measured cervical ROM. Inter-rater reliability was determined between each pair of manual therapists. For subjective outcomes, Cohen's kappa (ĸ) and the proportion of agreement (Pr a) were calculated. For objectively measured ROM, Bland Altman plots were conducted and Limits of Agreement and Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) were calculated. Results : The inter-rater reliability of the Flexion-Rotation-Test and Lateral-Flexion-Test for subjective (ĸ: 0.077-0.727; Pr a : 0.46-0.86) and objective outcomes (ICC: 0.019-0.496) varied between pairs of manual therapists. Conclusion : Assessed ROM largely depends on the performance of the assessment and its interpretation by manual therapists, leading to high variation in outcomes. Therefore, the Flexion-Rotation-Test and Lateral-Flexion-Test cannot be used solely as a reliable outcome measure in clinical practice and research context.

Background: We conducted a trial to test the electronic Illness Management and Recovery (e-IMR) intervention to provide conclusions on the potential efficacy of eHealth for people with severe mental illness (SMI). In the e-IMR intervention, we used the standard IMR program content and methodology and combined face-to-face sessions with internet-based strategies on the constructed e-IMR internet platform. During the trial, the e-IMR platform was sparsely used., Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the added value of the e-IMR intervention and the barriers and facilitators that can explain the low use of the e-IMR platform., Methods: This process evaluation was designed alongside a multicenter, cluster randomized controlled trial. In this study, we included all available participants and trainers from the intervention arm of the trial. Baseline characteristics were used to compare users with nonusers. Qualitative data were gathered at the end of the semistructured interviews. Using theoretical thematic analyses, the data were analyzed deductively using a pre-existing coding frame., Results: Out of 41 eligible participants and 14 trainers, 27 participants and 11 trainers were interviewed. Of the 27 participants, 10 were identified as users. eHealth components that had added value were the persuasive nature of the goal-tracking sheets, monitoring, and the peer testimonials, which had the potential to enhance group discussions and disclosure by participants. The low use of the e-IMR platform was influenced by the inflexibility of the platform, the lack of information technology (IT) resources, the group context, participants' low computer skills and disabilities, and the hesitant eHealth attitude of the trainers., Conclusions: The extent of eHealth readiness and correlations with vulnerabilities in persons with SMI need further investigation. This study shows that flexible options were needed for the use of e-IMR components and that options should be provided only in response to a participant's need. Use of the e-IMR intervention in the future is preconditioned by checking the available IT resources (such as tablets for participants) providing computer or internet guidance to participants outside the group sessions, evaluating the eHealth attitude and skills of trainers, and tailoring eHealth training to increase the skills of future e-IMR trainers., Trial Registration: Netherlands Trial Register NTR4772; https://www.trialregister.nl/trial/4621., International Registered Report Identifier (irrid): RR2-10.1186/s12913-016-1267-z., (©Titus A A Beentjes, Betsie G I van Gaal, Hester Vermeulen, Maria W G Nijhuis-van der Sanden, Peter J J Goossens.
