Abstract: Purpose. Activity related pain may be a barrier to rehabilitation in patients with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. This study investigated patients’ reports of increased pain during activity, and the association between such pain and psychological factors and pain variables. Method. Questionnaires from 232 adults with chronic musculoskeletal pain measured pain intensity, spread of pain and pain duration. Pain during activity was assessed both on a 11 point Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), and operationalized as a dichotomous measure, where responders defined if they experienced pain during general activity and exercise. Psychological factors were measured by the Hopkins Symptom Check List 25, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia and a subscale of the Arthritis Self – Efficacy Scale. Multiple and logistic regression was used to analyse associations between increased pain during activity and associated variables. Results. Increased pain during activity was reported by 69 % of participants. Fear of movement was a significant factor for reporting increased pain during activity, both general activity and exercise, also in a subsample with low psychological distress. Other significant factors were spread of pain and a low sense of self efficacy. Conclusion. Patients with high fear of movement, large spread of pain and low self efficacy were more likely to report increased pain during activity even in the absence of psychological distress.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of arm motor impairment on actual arm use in the early post-stroke period and explore its association with self-care dependency. SUBJECTS: Thirty-one patients recruited within the 30 first days after stroke. METHODS: Motor impairment of the upper extremity was measured with Fugl-Meyer Motor Assessment (FMA) and arm use was measured with accelerometry. Arm movement ratio (AMR), the ratio of arm use duration between the more and less affected arm, was calculated. Self-care dependency was defined as needing personal assistance in primary self-care activities. RESULTS: FMA of the more affected arm was strongly associated with AMR (Spearman's correlation coefficient -0.851, p > 0.001), although some patients deviated considerably from the regression line. Covariates did not have any influence on this relation. Both arm motor function and actual arm use related to self-care dependency, but were no longer significant when we controlled for lower extremity motor function. CONCLUSION: FMA and AMR correlated highly in the early post-stroke period. These measures relate to different dimensions of the International Classification of Functioning and Health, and could be supplementary measures to reveal non-use of the affected arm. Arm use and arm impairment were not significantly associated with self-care dependency in our sample. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10037/4061 File(s) in this item: 1

Abstract: Dette prosjektet vil bestå av 6 casestudier på pasienter med uspesifikke nakkesmerter. Prosjektet har som mål å integrere teori om funksjonell motorisk kontroll i vår behandling av disse pasientene. Gjennom aksjonsforskning vil prøver vi å utvikle vår personlige praksis med bakgrunn i teorien, og vurdere om teorien må endres på bakgrunn av denne erfaringen med reelle praksissituasjoner.

Abstract: Background: Fall-related injuries in older adults are a major health problem. Although the aetiology of falls is multifactorial, physical factors are assumed to contribute significantly. The "Timed up and go test" (TUG) is designed to measure basic mobility function. This report evaluates the association between TUG times and history of falls. Methods: A retrospective, observational, population-based study was conducted on 414 men and 560 women with mean age 77.5 (SD 2.3). TUG time and falls during the previous 12 months were recorded. Covariates were age, sex, medical history and health-related mobility problems. Means, confidence intervals and test characteristics for TUG were calculated. Odds ratios and influence of covariates were examined by logistic regression. Results: The mean TUG time was 11.1s (SD 2.5) among male non-fallers and 13.0s (SD 7.8) among fallers. The difference was 1.9s (95%CI 0.9–3.0). The odds ratio for fallers being in the upper quartile was 2.1 (95%CI 1.4–3.3). Adjusted for covariates, the odds ratio was (OR = 1.8, 95%CI 1.1–2.9). The corresponding mean was 13.0s (SD 5.74) among female non-fallers and 13.9s (SD 8.5) among fallers. The difference was 0.9 (95%CI -0.3–2.1). The odds ratio for fallers being in upper quartile was 1.0 (95%CI 0.7–1.4). The area under the ROC curve was 0.50 (95%CI 0.45–0.55) in women and 0.56 (95%CI 0.50–0.62) in men. Conclusion: TUG is statistically associated with a history of falls in men but not in women. The ability to classify fallers is poor, and the clinical value of the association is therefore limited.
