Objectives:To determine the association between functional assessment instruments and frailty.Design:Concurrent cohort study. Setting:Albacete Health Area (Spain). Participants:993 subjects aged ≥ 70years, participating in the FRADEA Study. Measurements:The following functional instruments were applied:Barthel index, Lawton index and Short Form-Late Life Function and Disability Instrument (SF-LLFDI) asdisability questionnaires; Holden ́s Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC) as ambulation scale, and sevenperformance tests: gait speed (m/s), Timed up and go (TUG) (sec), unipodal balance time (sec), 5-chair-sit-to-stand test (sec), Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), hand grip strength (kg) and elbow flexion strength(kg). Frailty was assessed by Fried ́s criteria. The association between functional instruments and frailty wasassessed, ROC curves were constructed and the area under the curves (AUC) calculated. The best cut-point wasidentified for each instrument and their sensitivity (S) and specificity (SP) are described. Results:16.9%participants were frail. The AUC, best cut-point, S and SP for each instrument were respectively: Barthel (0.916;≤ 85; 0.90, 0.82), Lawton (0.917; ≤ 3; 0.86, 0.93), SF-LLFDI (0.948; ≤ 90; 0.87, 0.91), FAC (0.885; ≤ 4; 0.81,0.83), gait speed (0.938; ≤ 0.62; 0.90, 0.90), TUG (0.984; ≥ 17.8; 0.93, 0.98), unipodal balance time (0.753; ≤ 5;0.73, 0.71), 5-chair-sit-to-stand test (0.880; ≥ 15; 0.78, 0.76), SPPB (0.956; ≤ 6; 0.88, 0.88), hand grip strength(0.807; ≤ 26; 0.75, 0.75) and elbow flexion strength (0.924; ≤ 15; 0.89, 0.87). Conclusion:The best performancetests to identify frail subjects are the Timed Up and Go test, gait speed and the SPPB, and the best questionnaireis the SF-LLFDI.

The Impact

Abstract Background. Accurate evaluation of physical function in patients undergoing haemodialysis is crucial in the analysis of the impact of exercise programs in this population. Objective. To evaluate the reproducibility of several physical functional tests, depending on the timing of their implementation (before the HD session versus non-HD days). Design. Prospective, non-experimental, descriptive study.Methods. Thirty patients in haemodialysis were evaluated twice, one week apart. The test session was performed before the haemodialysis session started and a retest was performed in non-dialysis day. The testing battery included the Short Physical Performance Battery, sit-to-stand-to-sit tests, six-minute walking test, one-leg stand test, timed up and go, and handgrip strength with and without forearm support. The intra- rater reproducibility was determined by the intraclass correlation coefficients and the agreement was assessed by Bland–Altman analysis.Results. The interclass correlation coefficients values ranged from 0.86 to 0.96, so that all tests showed good to very good relative reliability. The mean differences between trials of sit to stand to sit 10 and 60, Time up and go and all the handgrip tests were close to zero, indicating no systematic differences between trials. Large range of values between trials was observed for the Six minutes walking test, gait speed, One-leg stand test and Short physical performance battery, indicating a systematic bias for these four tests.Conclusion. The Sit to stand to sit 10 and 60, time up and go and handgrip tests had good to excellent test-retest reliability in measuring physical function in different dialysis days of patients undertaking haemodialysis. The Minimal detectable change values are provided for this population. Bias were found for the Six minutes walking test, gait speed, Short physical performance battery or one-leg stand test when the testing day changed.

Sit To Stand

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if patients with balance and vestibular disorders would demonstrate clinically meaningful improvement in the Five Times Sit to Stand Test (FTSST) score as a result of vestibular rehabilitation and to determine the concurrent validity of the FTSST. Design: Retrospective chart review of 351 people who underwent individualized outpatient vestibular rehabilitation programs. Setting: Outpatient tertiary balance and vestibular clinic. Subjects: One hundred and seventeen patients (45 men, 72 women), mean age 62.7 years, with peripheral, central or mixed vestibular dysfunction. Main outcome measures: FTSST, gait speed, Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), and Activities-Specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC). Results: The mean change in FTSST score was 2.7 seconds. Subjects demonstrated statistically significant improvements in the FTSST, gait speed, ABC, DHI, DGI and TUG after vestibular rehabilitation (p < 0.01). The responsiveness-treatment coefficient (RT) was calculated as 0.58 for the FTSST indicating moderate responsiveness. Logistic regression showed that an improvement in the FTSST of greater than 2.3 seconds resulted in an odds ratio of 4.67 for demonstrating clinical improvement in DHI, compared with a change less than 2.3 seconds. The univariate linear regression model for baseline FTSST predicting FTSST change was significant (p < 0.01) and predicted 49% of the change variance. The FTSST scores demonstrated a moderate correlation with gait speed and the TUG (p< 0.01). FTSST improvement subsequent to vestibular rehabilitation was moderately correlated with improvements in the DGI and the TUG scores (p< 0.01). Conclusions: The FTSST was moderately responsive to change over time and was moderately related to measures of gait and dynamic balance.

Significant Difference

Although the efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is proven, the need to improve patients’ adherence has emerged. There are only a few studies that have investigated the effect of sending text messages after a CR period to stimulate subjects’ ongoing engagement in regular physical activity (PA). A randomized controlled pilot trial was conducted after CR, sending a daily PA text message reminder to an intervention group (IG), which was compared with a usual care control group (CG) during three months of follow-up. Thirty-two subjects were assessed pre- and post-study intervention with GPAQ, submaximal iso-watt exercise testing, a 30 s sit-to-stand test, a bilateral arm curl test, and a final survey on a seven-point Likert scale. A statistically significant difference in the increase of moderate PA time (Δ 244.7 (95% CI 189.1, 300.4) minutes, p < 0.001) and in the reduction of sedentary behavior time (Δ −77.5 (95% CI 104.9, −50.1) minutes, p = 0.004) was shown when the IG was compared with the CG. This was associated with an improvement in heart rate, blood pressure, and patients’ Borg rating on the category ratio scale 10 (CR10) in iso-watt exercise testing (all p < 0.05). Furthermore, only the IG did not show a worsening of the strength parameters in the follow-up leading to a change of the 30 s sit-to-stand test with a difference of +2.2 (95% CI 1.23, 3.17) repetitions compared to CG (p = 0.03). The telemedical intervention has been appreciated by the IG, whose willingness to continue with regular PA emerged to be superior compared to the CG. Text messages are an effective and inexpensive adjuvant after phase 2 CR that improves adherence to regular PA. Further studies are needed to confirm these results in a larger patient population and in the long term.
