2022, Article / Letter to editor (BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, (2022))Background While low back pain occurs in nearly everybody and is the leading cause of disability worldwide, we lack instruments to accurately predict persistence of acute low back pain. We aimed to develop and internally validate a machine learning model predicting non-recovery in acute low back pain and to compare this with current practice and ‘traditional’ prediction modeling. Methods Prognostic cohort-study in primary care physiotherapy. Patients (n = 247) with acute low back pain (≤ one month) consulting physiotherapists were included. Candidate predictors were assessed by questionnaire at baseline and (to capture early recovery) after one and two weeks. Primary outcome was non-recovery after three months, defined as at least mild pain (Numeric Rating Scale > 2/10). Machine learning models to predict non-recovery were developed and internally validated, and compared with two current practices in physiotherapy (STarT Back tool and physiotherapists’ expectation) and ‘traditional’ logistic regression analysis. Results Forty-seven percent of the participants did not recover at three months. The best performing machine learning model showed acceptable predictive performance (area under the curve: 0.66). Although this was no better than a’traditional’ logistic regression model, it outperformed current practice. Conclusions We developed two prognostic models containing partially different predictors, with acceptable performance for predicting (non-)recovery in patients with acute LBP, which was better than current practice. Our prognostic models have the potential of integration in a clinical decision support system to facilitate data-driven, personalized treatment of acute low back pain, but needs external validation first.

2022, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, (2022), pp. jrm00309)OBJECTIVE: To report the study protocol and baseline characteristics of a prospective cohort study to evaluate longitudinal recovery trajectories of patients recovering from COVID-19 who have visited a primary care allied health professional. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study with a mixed-methods approach. PATIENTS: Patients recovering from COVID-19 treated by primary care dietitians, exercise therapists, occupational therapists, physical therapists and/or speech and language therapists in the Netherlands. METHODS: The prospective study will measure primary outcome domains: participation, health-related quality of life, fatigue, physical functioning, and costs, at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. Interviews, on the patients' experiences with allied healthcare, will be held with a subsample of patients and allied health professionals. RESULTS: The cohort comprises 1,451 patients (57% female, mean age 49 (standard deviation 13) years). Preliminary results for the study cohort show that 974 (67%) of the participants reported mild/moderate severity symptoms during the infection period and patients reported severe complaints in activities of daily living compared with previous research in other patient populations. Both quantitative and qualitative, will provide insight into the recovery of patients who are treated by allied health professionals. CONCLUSION: This preliminary report describes how the prospective study aims to longitudinally evaluate the recovery trajectories and related costs of patients recovering from COVID-19 who are treated by 1 or more allied health professionals in the Netherlands. In addition, baseline data of patients in the cohort are presented.

2022, Article / Letter to editor (Physical Therapy, (2022))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 when compared to 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 (nn=n112; mean [SD] agen=n82 [5] y; 60% female) or UCP (nn=n180; mean [SD] agen=n81 (6) y; 62% female) section of the trial. At baseline, Coach2Move participants were less physically active as compared with UCP participants (mean differencen=n-198; 95% CIn=n-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. CONCLUSIONS: 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 therapeutic 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 in comparison with usual care physical therapy and, therefore, has application for physical therapists working with older adults in daily clinical practice. LAY SUMMARY: Coach2Move is a new physical therapeutic approach for older adults. This manuscript describes how implementation of Coach2Move in daily clinical practice achieves better outcomes over a longer period of time against similar costs in comparison with regular physical therapy.

2021, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy, vol. 51, iss. 3, (2021), pp. 103-114)OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of prehabilitation in patients with degenerative disorders of the lumbar spine who are scheduled for spine surgery. DESIGN: Intervention systematic review with meta-analysis. LITERATURE SEARCH: Seven electronic databases were systematically searched for randomized controlled trials or propensity-matched cohorts. STUDY SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies that measured the effect of prehabilitation interventions (ie, exercise therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy [CBT]) on physical functioning, pain, complications, adverse events related to prehabilitation, health-related quality of life, psychological outcomes, length of hospital stay, use of analgesics, and return to work were included. DATA SYNTHESIS: Data were extracted at baseline (preoperatively) and at short-term (6 weeks or less), medium-term (greater than 6 weeks and up to 6 months), and long-term (greater than 6 months) follow-ups. Pooled effects were analyzed as mean differences and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework. RESULTS: Cognitive behavioral therapy interventions were no more effective than usual care for all outcomes. Pooled effect sizes were -2.0 (95% CI: -4.4, 0.4) for physical functioning, -1.9 (95% CI: -5.2, 1.4) for back pain, and -0.4 (95% CI: -4.1, 0.4) for leg pain. Certainty of evidence for CBT ranged from very low to low. Only 1 study focused on exercise therapy and found a positive effect on short-term outcomes. CONCLUSION: There was very low-certainty to low-certainty evidence of no additional effect of CBT interventions on outcomes in patients scheduled for lumbar surgery. Existing evidence was too limited to draw conclusions about the effects of exercise therapy. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2021;51(3):103-114. Epub 25 Dec 2020. doi:10.2519/jospt.2021.9748.

2021, Article / Letter to editor (Journal of Manual & Manipulative Therapy, vol. 29, iss. 1, (2021), pp. 40-50)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 (Pra) 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; Pra: 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.

Seeger, J.P.H. ; Koenders, N. ; Staal, J.B. ; Hoogeboom, T.J.
2021, Article / Letter to editor (Int J Environ Res Public Health, vol. 18, iss. 3, (2021))Low physical activity of patients is a global problem and associated with loss of strength and independent mobility. This study analyzes the effect of general physical activity promoting interventions on functional and hospital outcomes in patients hospitalized over 48 h. Five electronic databases were searched for randomized controlled trials. For outcomes reported in two studies or more, a meta-analysis was performed to test between-group differences (intervention versus control) using a random-effects model. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to rate the certainty of evidence for each outcome. Out of 23,302 identified studies, we included four studies (in total n = 368 participants). We found with moderate certainty of evidence 0 reported falls in the intervention (n = 126) versus five reported falls in the control (n = 122), a non-statistically significant difference between intervention and control groups (p = 0.06). In addition, we found with (very) low certainty of evidence no statistically significant differences between groups on activities of daily living (ADL-activity) and time spent standing and walking. Overall, we found no conclusive evidence on the effect of general physical activity promoting interventions on functional outcomes. More research is needed to understand and improve the effect of general physical activity promoting interventions for patients during the hospital stay.

Heij, W. ; Teerenstra, S. ; Sweerts, L. ; Staal, J.B. ; Nijhuis-van der Sanden, M.W.G. ; Hoogeboom, T.J.
2020, Article / Letter to editor (Physical Therapy, vol. 100, iss. 4, (2020), pp. 653-661)BACKGROUND: Coach2Move is a personalized treatment strategy by physical therapists to elicit physical activity in community-dwelling older adults with mobility problems. OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the implementation of Coach2Move compared with regular care physical therapy in daily clinical practice. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND INTERVENTION: A multicenter cluster-randomized stepped wedge trial is being implemented in 16 physical therapist practices (4 clusters of 4 practices in 4 steps) in the Netherlands. The study aims to include 400 older adults (≥70 years) living independently with mobility problems and/or physically inactive lifestyles. The intervention group receives physical therapy conforming to the Coach2Move strategy; the usual care group receives typical physical therapist care. MEASUREMENTS: Measurements are taken at baseline and 3, 6, and 12 months after the start of treatment. The primary outcomes for effectiveness are the amount of physical activity (LASA Physical Activity Questionnaire) and functional mobility (Timed Up and Go test). Trial success can be declared if at least 1 parameter improves while another does not deteriorate. Secondary outcomes are level of frailty (Evaluative Frailty Index for Physical Activity), perceived effect (Global Perceived Effect and Patient Specific Complaints questionnaire), quality of life (EQ-5D-5 L), and health care expenditures. Multilevel linear regression analyses are used to compare the outcomes between treatment groups according to an intention-to-treat approach. Alongside the trial, a mixed-methods process evaluation is performed to understand the outcomes, evaluate therapist fidelity to the strategy, and detect barriers and facilitators in implementation. LIMITATIONS: An important limitation of the study design is the inability to blind treating therapists to study allocation. DISCUSSION: The trial provides insight into the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the Coach2Move strategy compared with usual care. The process evaluation provides insight into influencing factors related to outcomes and implementation.

2018, Article / Letter to editor (Physiotherapy Theory and Practice, vol. 34, iss. 10, (2018), pp. 747-756)PURPOSE: This study explores the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of an exercise program in people scheduled for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS: In this controlled clinical trial, we compare pre-transplantation exercise to no exercise in the waiting period for an allogeneic of autologous HSCT. The supervised individually tailored exercise program (4-6 weeks) consisted of aerobic endurance, muscle strength, and relaxation exercises, administered twice a week in the period prior to HSCT. Feasibility was determined based on inclusion rate, attrition rate, adherence to intervention, safety, and satisfaction (0-10). Preliminary effectiveness was determined primarily by self-perceived physical functioning, quality of life (QOL), and fatigue. Secondary outcomes were global perceived effect (GPE), blood counts, hospital stay, and physical fitness. RESULTS: Forty-six patients were eligible, of whom 29 (69%) participated: 14 in the intervention group and 15 in the control group. The adherence rate to training was 69%. No adverse events or injuries occurred. Satisfaction of training conditions was high (mean 9.2 ±1.3). Positive (follow-up) trends in favor of the intervention group were found for self-perceived physical functioning, QOL, fatigue, GPE, blood counts, and hospital stay. CONCLUSION: Exercise prior to HSCT is safe and feasible, and positive trends suggest favorable preliminary effectiveness. Adherence to the exercise program needs to be optimized in a future trial.
