Physical Therapy Intervention

Background and Purpose: To some extent, favorable treatment outcomes for physical therapy intervention programs depend on patients attending their clinic appointments and adhering to the program requirements. Previous studies have found less-than-optimal levels of clinic attendance, and a viable option might be physical therapy intervention programs with a large component of home treatment. This study investigated the effects of a standard physical therapy intervention program—delivered primarily at either the clinic or home—on ankle function, rehabilitation adherence, and motivation in patients with ankle sprains. Subjects: Forty-seven people with acute ankle sprains who were about to start a course of physical therapy intervention participated in the study. Methods: Using a prospective design, subjects were randomly assigned to either a clinic intervention group or a home intervention group. Ankle function and motivation were measured before and after rehabilitation, and adherence to the clinic- and home-based programs was measured throughout the study. Results: The groups had similar scores for post-treatment ankle function, adherence, and motivation. The home intervention group had a significantly higher percentage of attendance at clinic appointments and better physical therapy intervention program completion rate. Discussion and Conclusion: Home-based physical therapy intervention appears to be a viable option for patients with sprained ankles.

Abstract Purpose: Current training interventions assessing pediatric functional motor skills do not account for children with upper limb reductions who utilize a prosthetic device. It was hypothesized that a newly created 8-week Home Intervention program will result in significant improvements in gross manual dexterity, bimanual coordination, and the functional activities performed during the program. It was also hypothesized that the newly developed Prosthesis Measurement of Independent Function (PMIF) score will reflect the Home Intervention performance improvements. Methods: Five pediatric participants (ages 5-19 years) with congenital upper limb reductions were fitted with a 3D printed upper extremity prosthesis for their affected limb. Participants then completed the 8-week Home Intervention which included Training activities completed 2x/week for 8 weeks and Non-Training activities completed only at week 1 and week 8. Participant’s times were recorded along with each participant receiving a PMIF score ranging from 0 = unable to complete activity, to 7 = complete independence with activity completion. Results: Results showed a decrease in overall averaged activity times amongst all activities. For all activities performed, individual averaged time decreased with the exception of Ball Play which increased over the 8 week intervention period. There was significant interaction for home intervention performance with F = 2.904 (p = 0.003). All participants increased their PMIF scores to 7 (complete independence) at the end of the 8 week intervention period. Conclusion: Decreases in time averages and increases in PMIF scores quantitatively showed that the home intervention program facilitate improvements in function and independence.

Home Based Intervention

Records of 52 Medicaid managed care psychiatric patients engaged in a home intervention program (HIP) were analyzed to determine (a) if home-based intervention reduced a participant’s readmission rates to an inpatient behavioral health facility and (b) if a negative relationship existed between total HIP sessions and readmissions following the implementation of home-based services. A paired t test comparing admissions 6 months prior to HIP with admissions 6 months after HIP demonstrated an average decrease of readmissions by 2.5 (p < .0001), or 86%. These results supported the hypothesis that HIP reduces participants’ readmission rates.
