Intra-rater reliability and agreement of muscle strength, power and functional performance measures in patients with hip osteoarthritis

Background The Stair Climb Power Test (SCPT) is a functional test associated with leg muscle power in older people. Objective The purposes of this study were to compare the results of the SCPT in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and people who were healthy and to explore associations of the SCPT with muscle strength (force-generating capacity) and functional performance. Design The study was a cross-sectional investigation. Methods Twenty-one people with COPD and a predicted mean (SD) percentage of forced expiratory volume in 1 second of 47.2 (12.9) and 21 people who were healthy and matched for age, sex, and body mass were tested with the SCPT. Knee extensor and flexor muscle torque was assessed with an isokinetic dynamometer. Functional performance was assessed with the Timed “Up & Go” Test (TUG) and the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Results People with COPD showed lower values on the SCPT (28%) and all torque measures (∼32%), except for eccentric knee flexor muscle torque. In people with COPD, performance on the TUG and 6MWT was lower by 23% and 28%, respectively. In people with COPD, the SCPT was moderately associated with knee extensor muscle isometric and eccentric torque (r≥.46) and strongly associated (r=.68) with the 6MWT. In people who were healthy, the association of the SCPT with knee extensor muscle torque tended to be stronger (r≥.66); however, no significant relationship between the SCPT and measures of functional performance was found. Limitations The observational design of the study and the use of a relatively small convenience sample limit the generalizability of the findings. Conclusions The SCPT is a simple and safe test associated with measures of functional performance in people with COPD. People with COPD show deficits on the SCPT. However, the SCPT is only moderately associated with muscle torque and thus cannot be used as a simple surrogate for muscle strength in people with COPD.

History Of

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) for poliomyelitis is a problematic procedure due to difficulty in positioning the cup of the prosthesis in the true acetabulum and the risk of dislocation after THA due to the low muscle tone. Methods: We herein present a case of bilateral hip pain with a history of poliomyelitis. Radiograph showed bilateral hip osteoarthritis caused by hip dysplasia due to residual poliomyelitis in right hip joint or developing dysplasia of the hip joint in left hip joint. THA was performed to bilateral hip joints. Results: Six years after bilateral THA, bilateral hip pain significantly improved. Additionally, the muscle strength on the paralyzed right side partially improved. However, the muscle strength on the non-paralyzed left side did not significantly improve. No complications related to the surgery were observed. Conclusion: Promising early results were obtained for THA in our patient with residual poliomyelitis. However, surgeons should pay attention to the potential development of complications concerning THA that may arise due to the residual poliomyelitis.

Long Term Mortality

Abstract Functional performance measures (grip strength, Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), and 3-meter gait speed) represent underlying disease progression and predict mortality. However, there is little information regarding whether these measures assessed at 2-months post-hip fracture predict long-term mortality (10-year follow-up). To address this gap, a longitudinal analysis of Baltimore Hip Studies-7 cohort, with mortality verified by National Death Index, was conducted. Mean difference in 2-month functional performance measures (n=242, men n=121, female n=121) among those who survived and did not survive over 10 years was determined using t-test. Prediction of mortality by these measures, overall and by sex, was estimated using cox proportional hazard models, for which Hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated. We found that, gait speed [0.47(standard deviation,SD=0.39) versus 0.31(SD=0.27)] and SPPB score [4.89(SD=3.31) versus 2.83(SD=2.24)] were significantly higher at 2 months among those surviving compared to those who did not. Adjusting for covariates, functional performance predicted long-term mortality in men and women. Increase in gait speed by 0.1m/s predicted 15% decrease in mortality for men [HR=0.85(0.55-0.96)] and 17% for women [HR=0.83 (0.74-0.93)]. Increase in SPPB by 1 unit predicted decrease in mortality by 14% for men [HR=0.86(0.77-0.95)] and 17% for women [HR=0.83(0.74-0.93). Increase in grip strength by 1 kg predicted 5% decrease in mortality for men [HR=0.94(0.92-0.97)] and 9% for women [HR=0.90(0.86-0.95)]. Functional performance measured at 2-months post-hip fracture predicted long-term mortality. Those with poor functional performance at 2-months can be referred for further assessment to optimize their care to promote survival.
