Est-ce que l’écriture d’un message sur smartphone pendant la marche perturbe les paramètres spatiotemporels et constitue un risque pour des adultes asymptomatiques ? Revue de littérature et méta-analyse

Role: Main Applicant

Description du projet :

L’utilisation du téléphone mobile concomitamment à une tâche posturo-locomotrice est une situation quotidienne nouvelle et fréquente. L’écriture de message (SMS) pendant la marche expliquerait une part importante des lésions accidentelles pour les piétons. Dès lors, la compréhension des conséquences de l’utilisation d’un smartphone pendant la marche est importante pour développer des actions préventives, d’autant plus lorsque la marche est précarisée par une pathologie ou par l’avancée en âge. L’objectif de cette revue de littérature est d’évaluer l’impact de l’écriture d’un texto sur les paramètres spatio-temporels de la marche, comparativement à la marche seule pour des adultes sains (<65 ans et >65 ans). Une meilleure compréhension pourrait aider à identifier les personnes à risque d’instabilité et de chutes. De plus, des exercices en double tâche « texting et marche » dans la rééducation des patients âgés ou présentant des pathologies pourraient être intégrés afin de mieux s’adapter à l’intégration des smartphones dans la vie quotidienne.

Role: Main Applicant

Financement: HES-SO Rectorat; Santé; HW; Leenaards; Fonds d'aide HEdS; Fondation Teofilo Rossi

Description du projet : Ce projet s'inscrit prioritairement dans l'axe « Prévention, promotion de la santé ». Néanmoins, il cible les personnes de plus de 65 ans tout en soutenant un comportement actif favorable à un vieillissement en bonne santé, ce qui correspond à l'axe « évolution démographique ». L'objectif est de développer la santé durable en favorisant un comportement actif dans la ville grâce aux activités muséales pour les personnes âgées. Premièrement, il s'agira de caractériser la mobilité et les sollicitations physiques lors d'une visite muséale libre et guidé. Ensuite, une balade contée comme moyen d'accès au musée sera co-construite entre les acteurs culturels et de santé pour promouvoir la marche dans l'environnement urbain pour les personnes âgées. L'objectif est donc de développer une santé durable en favorisant un comportement autonome et actif des personnes de plus de 65 ans dans la ville grâce aux activités muséales. Premièrement, il s'agira de caractériser la mobilité, les sollicitations physiques et le bien-être lors d'une visite muséale libre et guidée. Ensuite, des parcours culturels en ville seront co-construits entre les médiateurs d'un musée et des professionnels de santé pour promouvoir la marche de manière motivante dans l'environnement urbain. Une application sur smartphone soutiendra les parcours pour augmenter la stimulation des participants grâce aux jeux et aux feedbacks sur la santé durable. La collaboration entre la Haute Ecole de Santé de Genève et le Musée de l'Ariana renforcera les liens entre la recherche et l'intégration pratique pour le grand public. Ce projet s'inscrit dans une perspective d'avenir forte où les musées de la ville pourraient devenir des partenaires de la santé durable grâce à la promotion de l'activité physique pour tous dans le plaisir de se déplacer

Evaluation de la santé des étudiants musiciens de la Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève
AGP

Role: Main Applicant

Financement: HES-SO Rectorat

Description du projet : L'objectif est d'évaluer la prévalence des douleurs et des troubles musculo-squelettiques (TMS) ainsi que les facteurs de risque chez les étudiants musiciens de la Haute Ecole de Musique (HEM) de Genève. Les dernières études scientifiques sont unanimes, les musiciens sont particulièrement exposés aux TMS lors de leur pratique instrumentale et l'accompagnement de la santé des étudiants est encore rarement mis en place. Or, au niveau pré-professionnel, l'intensité de la pratique, les postures corporelles durant la pratique, ainsi que des facteurs psychiques constituent des facteurs de risque de douleur et de TMS qui peuvent provoquer des conséquences importantes sur la carrière des musiciens. Ainsi, cette étude sur la prévalence des douleurs et des TMS chez les étudiants musiciens de la HEM tout en recherchant les facteurs de risque devra nous permettre la mise en place d'actions concrètes d'accompagnement de la santé des musiciens à la HEM.

Effet des chimiothérapies sur l'équilibre debout bipodal statique, l'équilibre dynamique et la qualité de vie des femmes ayant un cancer gynécologique : étude prospective observationnelle
AGP

Role: Collaborator

Financement: Santé; Fondation HW

Description du projet : Les traitements en oncologie engendrent de lourds effets secondaires (Azim et al., 2011). Parmi ceux-ci, sont retrouvés les neuropathies induites par chimiothérapie (Chimiotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN)) (Seretny et al., 2014). Si l'on considère les Taxanes, une classe de chimiothérapie principalement utilisée dans le traitement du cancer du sein et des ovaires, des symptômes de CIPN sont retrouvés chez 57 à 83% des patientes (Stubblefield et al., 2009). Un an après la fin des dernières chimiothérapie, 68.1% de patients présentent toujours des signes de neuropathie distale (Seretny et al., 2014). Ces neuropathies, provoquées par la cytotoxicité du produit sur les différents tissus nerveux (Lebrun et al., 1999), touchent préférentiellement le système nerveux périphérique, moins protégé par la barrière hémato-nerveuse que le système nerveux central (SNC) (Psimaras et al., 2009). Ainsi, les ganglions de la racine dorsale de la moelle épinière, mais également, les terminaisons distales des branches axonales sont fréquemment touchés, entraînant des neuropathies à prédominance sensorielle (Argyriou et al., 2014; Dy & Adjei, 2013; Guastalla & Diéras, 2003; Laffite, 2005). Ces atteintes sensitives bilatérales symétriques (Laffite, 2005) touchent non seulement les petites fibres non myélinisées mais également les grandes fibres myélinisées des nerfs périphériques sensoriels ou sensori-moteurs (Argyriou et al., 2014). Elles se déclinent notamment sous la forme d'inflammation, de changements mitochondriaux ou de stress oxydatif (Jaggi & Singh, 2012). En clinique, les CIPN sont objectivées en évaluant les symptômes du patient, le système sensoriel, le système moteur et le signal électromyographique (EMG) (Cavaletti et al., 2004). Pour le patient, elles génèrent des douleurs, des paresthésies, des dysesthésies, des hyper/hypoesthésies, des engourdissements ou des picotements (Visovsky et al., 2008). Les signes relèvent des troubles de la sensibilité (diminution de la sensibilité superficielle cutanée, de la sensibilité vibratoire, du sens des positions, des réflexes profonds) et moteurs (altérations de la force, de l'équilibre, de la marche, de la motricité fine) (Visovsky et al., 2008). Le signal EMG démontre lui, une diminution de l'amplitude des potentiels d'actions des nerfs sensitifs périphériques (Laffite, 2005) et une vitesse de conduction réduite (Jaggi & Singh, 2012). Les travaux de Kneis (2016) sur l'activité EMG des muscles posturaux a mis en évidence un réflexe H diminué et retardé par rapport à l'onde M (Kneis et al., 2016) démontrant que les dommages étaient préférentiellement afférents (Argyriou et al., 2012). Ceux-ci provoqueraient une conduction de l'information afférente insuffisante et perturberaient les circuits réflexes de la colonne vertébrale (Kneis et al., 2016).

AGP

Role: Main Applicant

Financement: Santé; CARIGEST; HW; Santé

Description du projet : L'étude vise à développer une nouvelle approche rééducative basée sur une activité artistique qui englobe le travail de l'entièreté du corps en intégrant des composantes physique, cognitive et sociale pour une pathologie qui affecte ces différents aspects. La danse, devrait améliorer la récupération de ces différents aspects, mais, aussi apporter une plus grande motivation des patients face à la rééducation grâce au plaisir de bouger malgré le handicap. Si les résultats sont positifs, ce type d'activité constituera une nouvelle approche rééducative à intégrer dans les centres de rééducation dans l'objectif d'améliorer la prise en charge après un AVC. Dès lors, à l'Institution de Lavigny, les cours de danse devraient être organisés de manière pérenne et d'autres centres pourraient développer cette approche en ayant connaissance des effets bénéfiques et de cette expérience. L'expérience de la pratique de la danse lors de l'hospitalisation doit permettre aux patients de découvrir qu'il est possible de pratiquer une activité physique malgré le handicap ce qui devrait favoriser un comportement plus actif lors du retour à domicile. Les vidéos-témoignages sont une manière de transmettre ces expériences pour favoriser le développement de la danse pour ces patients.

Évaluation de la capacité physique du sujet en oncologie : étude de validation du test de marche de deux minutes
AGP

Role: Collaborator

Financement: Santé

Description du projet : Présentation : Le cancer et ses traitements impactent le corps dans son ensemble. L'analyse de la capacité physique du sujet est essentielle pour connaître le niveau de base du sujet prétraitement, évaluer les progrès suite à la réadaptation, établir des objectifs pour prévenir le déclin des capacités physiques ou évaluer les changements dans les capacités physiques aux différents stades de la survie. Le test de marche de 6 min (TM6) est fréquemment utilisé en clinique pour appréhender la capacité physique du sujet en oncologie. Une variante du TM6 existe et a peu été étudié dans un contexte oncologique : le test de marche de 2 min (TM2). Le TM2 s'effectue de la même manière que le TM6 : mêmes consignes et même procédure de test. Il offre l'avantage d'être moins fatiguant pour les sujets testés et de faire gagner du temps aux cliniciens. Le TM2 a été validé par le passé pour des personnes atteintes de BPCO ou après chirurgie cardiaque. A notre connaissance, il n'a pas été validé pour des sujets atteints de cancer alors que le TM2 pourrait remplacer le TM6 dans l'évaluation clinique quotidienne dans un contexte oncologique. Objectif : Évaluation de la validité de critère du TM2 comparé au TM6 pour des sujets présentant une maladie onco-hématologique. Évaluation de la validité de construit convergente du TM2 pour des sujets présentant une maladie onco-hématologique comparé : 1) au test de marche à vitesse naturelle sur 10m 2) au test de marche à vitesse rapide sur 10m. L'étude vise également à vérifier l'innocuité des tests de marche dans un contexte oncologique. Moyens requis : ressources humaines (Anne-Violette Bruyneel pour la supervision de l'étude et Aline Reinmann pour le reste), matériel (saturomètre, petit matériel)

Danser après un accident vasculaire cérébral pour améliorer son bien-être physique, psychique et social
AGP

Role: Main Applicant

Financement: HES-SO Rectorat

Description du projet : L'objectif de ce projet est de développer des cours de danse pour des personnes ayant eu un AVC afin de limiter les risques liés à la sédentarité en stimulant l'activité physique, le bien-être et l'insertion sociale. Des applications téléphoniques et des trackers facilitant l'auto-évaluation seront intégrés. L'hémiparésie induit des troubles moteurs et cognitifs, de la fatigue et de la démotivation qui sont des causes connues de sédentarité. La danse, qui implique l'ensemble du corps, est intrinsèquement motivante, grâce à l'interaction sociale, à la musique, à la joie de bouger malgré les limitations induites par l'AVC et à la perception des bénéfices. L'originalité est d'intégrer des structures hors soins qui ont un rôle essentiel dans le développement d'offre d'activité physique pour ces personnes. Des cours de danse hebdomadaires seront proposés pendant 1 an. La satisfaction, l'adhérence, les capacités physiques, la qualité de vie et la cognition seront évalués.

Summary:

Purpose: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a treatable global health concern with increasing prevalence, driven by the obesity epidemic and the aging population. Unfortunately, approximately one-third of patients are non-adherent to long-term treatment. This highlights the importance of identifying those with positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA), which affects 25%-35% of the OSA population, as these patients may benefit from alternative therapeutic interventions such as vibrating positional devices or positional pillows. The aim of this prospective randomized crossover study was to assess the efficacy of two different positional therapies (PTs): a positional pillow (Posiform®) and a vibrating belt (Somnofit-belt®), for reducing supine sleep time in POSA patients in the home setting. Methods: Adults with POSA (n=102), diagnosed by polysomnography (PSG) at two university hospitals, were screened, and 19 patients met the criteria for at-home supine sleep and were included. Patients were randomized to use either the vibrating belt first and then the pillow, or the reverse. Patient questionnaires were used to assess sleep quality and comfort, and the Somnibel Pro® device was used to assess patients’ sleep position. Results: A statistically significant reduction in supine sleep time was observed in patients using the vibrating belt compared to baseline (p = 0.0001). No difference was observed for the pillow. There was no significant difference in sleep quality or comfort between the devices. This study also highlights the observation that supine sleep is infrequent in the home setting. Conclusions: In this study, we have shown a significant reduction in supine sleep time in POSA patients using the vibrating belt, which was not observed with the positional pillow. However, the results must be qualified by the small number of patients included.

Summary:

Background : Cultural activities can be a valuable means of supporting individuals who are not receptive to physical activities. The objective was to assess the number of steps taken during the guided or free visits among sedentary individuals and compare physical capacities and well-being before and after visits for the entire group and between middle-aged and older age subgroups. Methods : The observational study included 80 sedentary participants over 50 years old. Of those, 40 participated in a guided visit and 40 visited the museum freely (one session 60–75 minutes) to the Ariana and Museum of Art and History in Geneva. Before the visit, balance, gait speed, quadriceps strength, fatigue, stress, pain, and well-being were assessed. During the visit, the participants had an activity tracker to measure the step numbers. In the end, all tests were repeated and satisfaction was assessed. Depending on the normality of the data, a parametric or nonparametric test was conducted for intergroup and intragroup comparisons. Results : Participants took 889 ± 381 steps during the free visit and 819 ± 244 steps during the guided visit (p = 0.195). Balance and gait speed in dual-task activities (free visit), stress, fatigue, and well-being showed improvement after the visits (p < 0.050). For older individuals (≥ 65 years), the guided visit led to more favorable well-being outcomes, whereas in younger individuals (< 65 years), the free visit led to increased physical demands. Conclusion : Both visit modalities exceed the threshold of 775 steps. A museum visit is a relevant intervention to physically stimulate sedentary individuals and improve their well-being.

Summary:

Dual task situations are very common in daily life. The cost of dual task condition has been widely used by researchers and clinicians to categorize individuals, as indicators of decline of functional capacities in older or persons with cognitive or motor disabilities. Moreover, the comparison between performances in single and dual tasks situations permits the calculation of the effect of dual task, which can be beneficial or detrimental for cognitive or motor tasks. Based on our results of a previous interventional study, we defined a dual task model analysis from the evolution of the effect of dual task after 12 weeks of exergaming in older adults. This approach led us to the proposal of a representation of dual task progress (DTP). This theorical model is sensitive to reliability of DT outcomes measurement and needs to be validate in the future.

Summary:

Purpose : The primary aim was to determine the effect of a physical activity (PA) program with education sessions on walking capacity and fatigue in people with cancer. The secondary objective was to assess the factors that moderated the program’s effect on walking capacity and fatigue among sociodemographic, physical capacity and symptom-related factors. Satisfaction with the program was also evaluated. Method : A retrospective, observational study of data from a 12-week program of twice-weekly group PA sessions combined with education sessions was conducted. The 6-min walk test (6MWT), the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) and program satisfaction were assessed. Paired t-tests were applied to assess changes in 6MWT and MFI-20. Multiple linear regressions were applied to determine the influence of age, gender, initial walking capacity and fatigue on the effects of the program. Results : Among the 264 participants (age 57.36 ± 12.43 years; 189 women; 134 with breast cancer), 125 (47%) completed the program. Walking capacity (+ 41.63 ± 91.00 m) and fatigue (-2.01 ± 3.77) were improved after the program (p < 0.001). Age and gender did not influence the program’s effect; however, lower initial walking capacity and higher fatigue scores were associated with larger improvements after the program. Satisfaction with the program was high among participants who completed it. Conclusions : Walking capacity and fatigue improved significantly after the PA program, but the drop-out rate was high. The program could be individualized based on an individual's initial walking capacity or fatigue score to enhance its effectiveness.

Summary:

Background : Pulmonary fibrosis can develop after acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The hypothesis is we are able to measure phenotypes that lie at the origin of ARDS severity and fibrosis development. The aim is an accuracy study of prognostic circulating biomarkers. Methods : A longitudinal study followed COVID-related ARDS patients with medical imaging, pulmonary function tests and biomarker analysis, generating 444 laboratory data. Comparison to controls used non-parametrical statistics; p < 0·05 was considered significant. Cut-offs were obtained through receiver operating curve. Contingency tables revealed predictive values. Odds ratio was calculated through logistic regression. Results : Angiotensin 1–7 beneath 138 pg/mL defined Angiotensin imbalance phenotype. Hyper-inflammatory phenotype showed a composite index test above 34, based on high Angiotensin 1–7, C-Reactive Protein, Ferritin and Transforming Growth Factor-β. Analytical study showed conformity to predefined goals. Clinical performance gave a positive predictive value of 95 % (95 % confidence interval, 82 %–99 %), and a negative predictive value of 100 % (95 % confidence interval, 65 %–100 %). Those severe ARDS phenotypes represented 34 (Odds 95 % confidence interval, 3–355) times higher risk for pulmonary fibrosis development (p < 0·001). Conclusions : Angiotensin 1–7 composite index is an early and objective predictor of ARDS evolving to pulmonary fibrosis. It may guide therapeutic decisions in targeted phenotypes.

Périodisation de l’entrainement des athlètes féminines euménorrhéiques en fonction du cycle menstruel :
Scientific paper ArODES
une synthèse narrative

Anna Stitelmann, Anne-Violette Bruyneel, Carina Enea, Nathalie Boisseau

Mains libres,  2024, 4, 237-246

Link to the publication

Summary:

Contexte : Les recherches en sciences du sport ont historiquement été concentrées sur des études provenant de populations masculines, laissant des lacunes dans la compréhension des spécificités féminines. Avec une participation croissante des femmes dans le sport amateur et professionnel, il est important d’explorer comment des facteurs, tels que le cycle menstruel, peuvent influencer la performance et la pratique sportive des athlètes féminines. Objectif : Cette synthèse des preuves scientifiques vise à évaluer la pertinence de la périodisation de l’entrainement en fonction des phases du cycle menstruel. Tout en mettant en avant l’importance de suivre précisément les phases du cycle menstruel, elle analyse ses effets potentiels sur des marqueurs subjectifs (perception de l’effort) et objectifs de la performance (force et fatigabilité neuromusculaire). Elle examine également le rôle de la périodisation du renforcement musculaire, ainsi que le risque de blessure. Développement et discussion : Les données scientifiques actuelles ne montrent pas d’influence significative du cycle menstruel sur divers déterminants de la performance, telles que la force ou la fatigabilité neuromusculaire, ni sur le risque de blessures. En revanche, les symptômes et troubles du cycle menstruel (syndrome prémenstruel, dysménorrhées, ménorragies) doivent être pris en considération pour optimiser la performance. Le monitoring du cycle menstruel est donc recommandé pour détecter ces symptômes afin d’améliorer la santé et la performance des sportives. Conclusion : Bien que les preuves actuelles portant sur l’influence du cycle menstruel sur la performance et le risque de blessures ne justifient pas une périodisation de l’entrainement, le suivi personnalisé du cycle menstruel reste pertinent pour optimiser la santé et le bien-être des athlètes féminines. Une approche individualisée, basée sur les symptômes perçus par les athlètes, est encouragée.

Summary:

Background : Young musicians starting their professional education are particularly vulnerable to playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs). In the context of research on PRMDs, physical and psychological associated factors are frequently highlighted without investigating their complex interrelationships. The objective of this exploratory study was to examine the associations between lifestyle, music practice habits, physical and psychological variables, and PRMDs in student musicians. Methods : Students of the Geneva University of Music participated in the survey. The primary outcome was students’ PRMDs, measured with the validated Musculoskeletal Pain Intensity and Interference Questionnaire for Musicians (MPIIQM). Additionally, to investigate potential associated factors, participants completed free-form questions about lifestyle and practice habits and seven validated questionnaires: physical activity, self-rated health, psychological distress, musical performance anxiety (MPA), perfectionism, fatigue, and personality traits. After performing standard descriptive statistics, network analyses were applied to investigate the links between students' PRMDs experience and all factors. Results : Two hundred thirty-five student musicians completed the survey. 86 (37%) participants experienced PRMDs over the last 12 months. When considering all participating students, the network analysis showed the strongest association between the presence of PRMDs and the psychological distress factor. In the subgroup with students with PRMDs, the degree of pain interference with musical practice was correlated with psychological distress, MPA, self-rated health, and fatigue. Conclusion : Psychological distress is the primary factor associated with PRMDs, whereas physical factors like posture and activity show no direct link. Therefore, addressing psychological aspects is crucial for student musicians with physical disorders to provide proper prevention care.

Summary:

Contexte : Un nombre grandissant d’athlètes adoptent un régime « plant-based ». Cependant, les preuves scientifiques concernant l’efficacité de ce type de régimes sur leurs performances sportives semble limitées. Objectif : L’objectif de cette revue systématique de la littérature était de synthétiser et d'analyser les preuves de l’influence des régimes plant-based sur les performances des athlètes comparé à un régime omnivore. Méthode : La méthode de recherche documentaire a suivi les recommandations PRISMA. Pour être inclus, les articles devaient évaluer les performances aérobies et anaérobies chez les sportifs végétariens, lacto-végétariens et végans. Les bases de données interrogées étaient PubMed, EMBASE et CINAHL. Une analyse de la qualité des études à l’aide des grilles JBI et une synthèse descriptive des résultats ont été réalisées. Résultats : Parmi 223 articles sélectionnés, 6 études transversales et 1 cross-over ont été incluses. Pour la plupart des critères aérobies, aucune différence significative n'a été observée. La VO2max était plus élevée dans deux études, de 5,9 ml/kg/min chez les femmes végétariennes et de 3,9 ml/kg/min chez les hommes véganes. Concernant la capacité anaérobie, 5 études n’ont montré aucune différence significative. Une étude a rapporté une force relative et une puissance musculaire supérieures pour le groupe « plantbased » de 0,12 (10RM/poids du corps en kg) et 5,32 cm (saut vertical en cm). La qualité des 7 études a été évaluée comme « mauvaise ». Conclusion : Les résultats mettent en évidence que le régime alimentaire n’influence pas la performance des athlètes. Cependant, l’hétérogénéité des études était élevée et leur qualité faible. Malgré l’intérêt des athlètes pour les régimes plant-based, des études de bonne qualité pour comparer ces régimes et évaluer leurs effets sur la performance sont encore nécessaires.

Summary:

Background : Children with visual impairment very often have additional motor disorders and developmental delays. They are less active than typical children of a similar age, even though physical activity is essential for their well-being. Methods : A weekly dance class for 1 year was offered to 4 visually impaired and 5 sighted children in a conservatory. Results : The children’s satisfaction was excellent, and they perceived an improvement in their mood, walking, balance and coordination, and felt more physically active. The walking speed, balance and posture were improved. Conclusion : This original project, with its full integration in a dance conservatory and by mixing children with and without visual impairment, showed excellent feasibility.

Summary:

Abstract: The psychometric qualities of the proprioception and dynamic trunk control tests have rarely been studied in individuals after stroke. Objective: To investigate the reliability and validity of the Trunk Position Sense Test (TPS) and Modified Functional Reach Test (MFRT) in persons after stroke. Methods: Thirty-two participants were included. The TPS and MFRT were assessed by two physiotherapists during a first session. After resting, a second session was conducted. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was calculated to assess the test–retest (ICC3,k) and inter-rater reliability (ICC2,k). Pearson correlations coefficients were calculated between TPS/MFRT performances and clinical tests (trunk strength, Timed Up and Go and Balance Assessment in Sitting and Standing Positions – BASSP). Results: The TPS inter-rater reliability was good for vertical error (ICC = 0.75 [0.50–0.88]) while it was moderate for horizontal error (ICC = 0.48 [0.10–0.75]) as well as for test–retest reliability (0.39 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.59). As for the MFRT, inter-rater (0.76 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.90) and test–retest reliability (0.71 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.91) were good to excellent for anterior, paretic et non-paretic displacements. Horizontal errors for the TPS (−0.26 ≤ r ≤ −0.36) and anterior MFRT (0.38 ≤ r ≤ 0.64) values correlated moderately with trunk strength. Conclusion : The MFRT is a reliable test for persons after stroke with trunk control impairments. The TPS does not appear to be relevant for post-stroke individuals. This can be explained by the fact that its procedure is not easily applied for individuals after stroke – who may have significant motor and cognitive impairments.

Summary:

Introduction : In COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU)-admitted patients, multi-organ acute complications lead to long-lasting sequelae. The aim of this study was to assess 1) changes in chest CT, pulmonary function test (PFT), functional capacity (6-minute walking distance test (6MWT)), and health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) among ICU COVID-19 survivors at 3, 6, and 12 months after ICU discharge and 2) predictors of persistent impairment/ improvement in 6MWT and HR-QoL. Methods : ICU COVID-19 survivors were prospectively included. Outcomes at 3, 6, and 12 months included PFT, 6MWT, respiratory muscle strength (RMS), HR-QoL (SF-36), Medical Research Council dyspnea scale (mMRC), and post-COVID Functional Status scale. Results : Eighty-seven survivors were included, from June, 3, 2020 to September, 2, 2021. At 12 months, 50% PFT were normal, 46% restrictive, and 22% showed reduced diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Impaired DLCO was associated with ICU length of stay and age. In mixed linear model analysis, improvements in RMS and mMRC persisted over time regardless of the adjustments applied (p ≤ 0.050). SF-36 improved in parallel with FEV1 and 6MWT between 3 and 12 months (p ≤ 0.044), while increment in DLCO correlated with changes in FEV1 and total lung capacity (TLC) (p ≤ 0.026). Conclusions : This longitudinal study demonstrated that improvements in SF-36 occur in parallel with improvements in FEV1 and 6MWT between 3 and 12 months post-ICU discharge in a sample of critically-ill COVID-19 patients. However, PFT remained however abnormal in 50% of patients. Based on continued improvements observed from 3 to 12 months, it is anticipated COVID-19 ICU patients will continue to recover similar to ARDS patients.

Summary:

Purpose : The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a dance program, combined with conventional treatments, on the motor recovery and quality of life of stroke survivors in comparison with conventional treatments alone. Materials and methods : A total of 16 subacute stroke survivors were randomized into two groups: a dance group (DG) and a conventional treatments group (CG). Stroke severity, cognitive abilities, and motor capacities were assessed at baseline. For six weeks, all participants underwent standard rehabilitation. However, in the DG, participants attended an additional weekly dance class. In both groups, the Mini-BESTest, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), ABC-Scale, Lower Extremity Motor Coordination Test (LEMOCOT), quadriceps strength, and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale (SS-QOL) were measured at weeks 4 and 6. Nonparametric statistical tests were applied. Results : Compared to the CG, the DG significantly improved recovery of balance, coordination, and FIM after four or six weeks. No differences were observed for quadriceps strength, SS-QOL, or cognition. Participants were completely satisfied with the dance class, and no adverse effects were observed. Conclusions : This study was discontinued following the COVID-19 health crisis. However, the analysis revealed numerous beneficial effects of dance practice for subacute stroke survivors. The results contribute significantly to the advancement of artistic practices in stroke rehabilitation.

Summary:

Objective : To examine the feasibility, the criterion, and the construct convergent validity of the 2-Minute Walk Test (2MWT) and the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MeWT) against the 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) to assess walking capacity in people with cancer. The criterion concurrent validity of a self-test version of the 10MeWT (10MeWTself-test) was also evaluated against the 10MeWT. Methods : Fifty-six people with cancer performed the 2MWT, the 10MeWT at comfortable and fast speeds, the 6MWT, and the 10MeWTself-test. The feasibility of the tests was assessed using safety, adverse events, space requirements, time taken to administer and interpret the tool, equipment or training required, cost, and portability as criteria. Validity was assessed using Pearson correlation coefficients and Bland Altman plots. Results : The 2MWT, 6MWT, 10MeWT, and 10MeWTself-test were feasible for people with cancer. The 2MWT and the 10MeWT results were moderately to strongly correlated with the 6MWT results (0.61 < r < 0.84, p < 0.001). The 10MeWTself-test results were strongly correlated with the 10MeWT results at comfortable and fast speeds (r = 0.99, p < 0.001). Conclusions : The 2MWT, 10MeWT, and 10MeWTself-test are simple, rapid, and feasible tests for use in people with cancer. The strong correlation between the 2MWT and 6MWT results indicates that the 2MWT can be used as an alternative walking capacity assessment tool. The 10MeWT results moderately correlated with those of the other two tests, suggesting that it partially measures the same construct of walking capacity in walking-independent outpatients with cancer. The 10MeWTself-test showed promising results but needs further investigations in ecological settings.

BMJ Open,  July 2023, vol. 13, no. 8, article e073294

Link to the publication

Summary:

Introduction Insufficient identification and understanding of risk factors make musicians engaging in professional practice particularly vulnerable to musculoskeletal pain. To support positive music learning and good mental, physical, and social health, student musicians need health support tailored to their needs and their instrumental practice. However, these preventive actions must be based on sound scientific approaches that reliably identify the most relevant risk factors. MuSa is a cross-sectional study examining contextual and internal risk variables associated with playing-related musculoskeletal disorders in student musicians. Method and analysis : The design is a monocentric cross-sectional study involving student musicians in Bachelor’s 1, 2, 3 and Master’s 1, 2. Free-form questions will identify students’ lifestyle characteristics and work habits, and validated questionnaires will evaluate the interaction between pain due to music practice and psychological and physical risk factors. All data will first be analysed descriptively. Psychological network analysis will be used to explore the overall correlational structure of the dataset. A subgroup comparative analysis will be then applied according to the instrumental subcategories and work postures, including singers.

Summary:

Chronic insomnia is reported by up to 50% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This may be attributable to several factors including nocturnal dyspnea, reduced physical activity, and less time outside. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is recommended in COPD to improve both physical and psychological conditioning. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of PR on sleep efficiency (SE, measured by actigraphy) in COPD patients. COPD eligible for PR were prospectively included. Baseline and post PR (30 sessions) assessments included incremental and maximal exercise testing, 6-min walking distance test (6MWT), actigraphy, and questionnaires [Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety Depression scale, St George Respiratory, and modified Medical Research Council dyspnea scale]. Sixty-one patients were included, and 31 patients completed the study protocol (68% of males, age 63 ± 9 y, FEV1 44.2 ± 12.3%). After PR, SE remained unchanged, p = 0.07, as well as PSQI score (p = 0.22), despite improvements in exercise capacity (incremental exercise test, 6MWT) and dyspnea. However, SE improved significantly in the poor sleeper subgroup (SE < 85%, n = 24, p = 0.02), whereas the PSQI remained unchanged. The present study shows, in COPD patients included in a PR program, that improvement in exercise capacity was disappointingly not associated with a better SE assessed by actigraphy. Subjective sleep quality was also unchanged at the end of PR program. However, SE improved significantly in the poor sleeper subgroup (SE < 85%). Further studies are required to better characterize the origin of sleep disturbances in COPD and the potential benefit of some (non-)pharmacologic interventions.

Summary:

Introduction: Despite improved management of patients with COVID-19, we still ignore whether pharmacologic treatments and improved respiratory support have modified outcomes for intensive care unit (ICU) surviving patients of the three first consecutive waves (w) of the pandemic. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether developments in the management of ICU COVID-19 patients have positively impacted respiratory functional outcomes, quality of life (QoL), and chest CT scan patterns in ICU COVID-19 surviving patients at 3 months, according to pandemic waves. Methods: We prospectively included all patients admitted to the ICU of two university hospitals with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) related to COVID-19. Data related to hospitalization (disease severity, complications), demographics, and medical history were collected. Patients were assessed 3 months post-ICU discharge using a 6 min walking distance test (6MWT), a pulmonary function test (PFT), a respiratory muscle strength (RMS) test, a chest CT scan, and a Short Form 36 (SF-36) questionnaire. Results: We included 84 ARDS COVID-19 surviving patients. Disease severity, complications, demographics, and comorbidities were similar between groups, but there were more women in wave 3 (w3). Length of stay at the hospital was shorter during w3 vs. during wave 1 (w1) (23.4 ± 14.2 days vs. 34.7 ± 20.8 days, p = 0.0304). Fewer patients required mechanical ventilation (MV) during the second wave (w2) vs. during w1 (33.3% vs. 63.9%, p = 0.0038). Assessment at 3 months after ICU discharge revealed that PFTs and 6MWTs scores were worse for w3 > w2 > w1. QoL (SF-36) deteriorated (vitality and mental health) more for patients in w1 vs. in w3 (64.7 ± 16.3 vs. 49.2 ± 23.2, p = 0.0169). Mechanical ventilation was associated with reduced forced expiratory volume (FEV1), total lung capacity (TLC), diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and respiratory muscle strength (RMS) (w1,2,3, p < 0.0500) on linear/logistic regression analysis. The use of glucocorticoids, as well as tocilizumab, was associated with improvements in the number of affected segments in chest CT, FEV1, TLC, and DLCO (p < 0.01). Conclusions: With better understanding and management of COVID-19, there was an improvement in PFT, 6MWT, and RMS in ICU survivors 3 months after ICU discharge, regardless of the pandemic wave during which they were hospitalized. However, immunomodulation and improved best practices for the management of COVID-19 do not appear to be sufficient to prevent significant morbidity in critically ill patients.

Summary:

More than 81% of children do not meet physical activity recommendations. However, this preventive measure is very effective in limiting the risks of overweight, chronic and mental illnesses while promoting good motor development. Physical activity promotion campaigns target mainly adults, whereas active children are more likely to be engaged in physical activity throughout their lives. There is therefore an urgent need to propose relevant solutions to improve motivation and support active behavior. Cultural and artistic activities could be interesting solutions to stimulate physical, mental and social well-being. The number of steps and well-being were assessed in 17 children aged 7–9 years during a guided tour including a scavenger hunt in a museum. Most of the children had insuf ficient weekly physical activity. The museum activity generated almost 4000 steps. Most participants enjoyed the experience, and positive well-being components largely predominated. A well-constructed museum tour would be a relevant activity to improve physical, mental and social well-being while stimulating physical activity in children. Cultural activities should be considered and developed as tools to improve health.

Summary:

Contexte: La promotion de l'activité physique (AP) est un des défis majeurs de santé publique. Alors que les étudiants en physiothérapie auront un rôle central dans la promotion de l'AP, les études menées sur cette population sont rares. Objectif: L'objectif de cette étude était d'observer, chez des étudiants, l'impact des différents moments du cursus scolaire des études de physiothérapie sur le taux d'AP. Méthode: Des étudiants en physiothérapie ont rempli un questionnaire lors de quatre moments différents du cursus (rentrée, stage, cours, examen). Malgré la période COVID, celle-ci n'avait aucun impact sur les stages et les examens et très peu sur les cours. Les informations relevées étaient socio-démographiques, le niveau d'AP, le taux de sédentarité, les freins et motivations pour l'AP. Résultats: Entre 16 et 24 étudiants par volée ont répondu à chaque passation. De 71 % à 100% des étudiants ont déclaré remplir les recommandations de l'OMS. Aucune différence du taux d'AP n'a été observée entre les passations, alors que le temps de sédentarité augmentait lors des révisions pour les 2• année et lors de la rentrée pour les 3" année. Les freins à l'AP était le manque de temps et la fatigue. Le bien-être était le principal facteur de motivation. Conclusion: Les moments du cursus scolaire ont un faible impact sur le taux d'AP et la motivation des étudiants en physiothérapie. Bien que la majorité soit active, la durée de comportement sédentaire est élevée, mais semble s'améliorer au cours de la dernière année d'étude.

Summary:

Background : Smartphone use during postural-locomotor tasks is an everyday activity for individuals of all ages in diverse environmental situations and with various health conditions. Nevertheless, the use of smartphones during walking is responsible for many accidents. Research question : This systematic review and meta-analysis examined spatiotemporal gait parameters during the dual-task situation “texting + gait” versus isolated gait task (single task) in adult persons (>18 years). Methods : Electronic database searches were performed in PubMed, Embase, CINHAL, and LISSA. Two examiners assessed the eligibility and quality of appraisal with the Downs and Black checklist. The standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95 % confidence intervals was calculated to compare single- and dual-task situations. The pooled estimates of the overall effect were computed using a random or fixed effects method, and forest plots were generated. Results and significance : A total of 25 studies were included. All studies included healthy adults, with four studies including older persons and three including people with pathological conditions. The walking task was with (N = 4) and without (N = 21) obstacles and in laboratory (N = 21) or ecological conditions (N = 7). The quality scores were 6–8/16 for eight studies, 9–12/16 for seven studies, and more than 12/16 for three studies. During the “texting + gait” tasks, the meta-analysis highlighted a significant impairment of gait speed, step and stride length, cadence, and double and single support (p < 0.05). The spatiotemporal parameters of gait were systematically altered during the texting task regardless of the population and test conditions. However, the quality of the studies is moderate, and few studies have been conducted for people with motor deficiencies. The impact of texting on walking should be better considered to develop prevention actions.

Summary:

Objective : The objective of this study was to assess, for individuals with hemiparesis after a stroke in subacute phase, the validity and reliability of center of pressure (CoP) parameters measured during sitting balance on an unstable support. Materials and methods : Thirty-two individuals after stroke were included in this observational study for validity and reliability (mean age: 64.34 ± 9.30y, 23 men, mean post-stroke duration: 55.64 ± 27days). Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) and Bland Altman plot assessed intra-rater reliability and inter-rater reliability of CoP parameters during unstable sitting balance test (anteroposterior or mediolateral imbalance). Validity was established by correlating CoP parameters with the Modified Functional Reach Test, trunk strength, Balance Assessment in Sitting and Standing and Timed Up and Go tests. Results : The findings highlighted significant correlations between CoP parameters and trunk strength for anteroposterior seated destabilization. Good to excellent intra and inter-rater reliability (0.87 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.95) was observed for all CoP length parameters and CoP mean velocity in both mediolateral and anteroposterior imbalance conditions. CoP parameters for mediolateral unstable sitting condition were more reliable than for anteroposterior instability. Conclusion : Trunk control assessment during unstable sitting position on a seesaw is a reliable test for assessing trunk control ability in individuals after a stroke. CoP length and mean velocity are found to be the best parameters.

EMC - kinésithérapie-médecine physique-réadaptation,  2022, to be published

Link to the publication

Summary:

La proprioception est un flux sensoriel continu conscient ou inconscient donnant des informations sur la position des articulations, la détection de mouvement et la force grâce auxquels la tension musculaire, l'équilibre et le mouvement sont contrôlés. La fatigue, le vieillissement et les pathologies dégradent certaines informations essentielles au contrôle sensorimoteur. Ainsi, de nombreuses situations cliniques nécessitent l'évaluation de la proprioception avant de proposer un programme d'exercices visant à améliorer l'équilibre, la marche ou la fonctionnalité. L'évaluation proprioceptive en pratique clinique comprend des tests posturodynamiques ainsi que l'évaluation de la statesthésie (sens positionnel) et de la kinesthésie (détection de mouvement). Des tests de sens de force et de discrimination de sens de mouvement sont parfois ajoutés. Les tests de statesthésie quantifient l'erreur positionnelle lors de repositionnements articulaires actifs ou passifs. De nombreux tests fiables ont été mis en évidence, mais la qualité du résultat peut être influencée par la localisation, le mouvement, l'outil et la méthode choisie. L'évaluation du seuil de détection de mouvement est plus complexe, ce qui explique le recours systématique à des moyens de mobilisations passives mécaniques. La fiabilité des tests de kinesthésie est peu étudiée même si de nombreux tests sont utilisés et décrits. Les capacités proprioceptives sont améliorées par l'activité sportive. En cas de pathologies, certaines études ont mis en évidence l'efficacité des exercices proprioceptifs sur la statesthésie et la kinesthésie. Ainsi, l'intégration systématique des tests de statesthésie et de kinesthésie dans le bilan améliore fortement la compréhension du contexte physiopathologique du patient et optimise l'efficacité de la rééducation posturodynamique.

Les inégalités liées au genre peuvent consister à aborder différemment hommes et femmes, patients ou physiothérapeutes, ou à ne pas tenir comptes de différences avérées, en prenant le sexe ou genre masculin comme référence. Un nombre croissant d’études met en évidence des comportements inégalitaires autour de ces questions dans le monde de la santé. Voici quelques exemples de ce qui est connu concernant les inégalités de genre dans le monde de la physiothérapie.

Summary:

Background: Scoping reviews are increasingly being used to explore and synthesize knowledge related to issues in physiotherapy. Because scoping reviews differ from systematic reviews, it is important to understand the specific methods employed in this approach to ensure appropriate use of data. Objective: This article aims to define, describe, and present the characteristics of a scoping review. Development: A scoping review is an exploratory systematic approach to existing evidence around a broad question. lt is used to examine research activities, identify and define key concepts, assess the feasibility of a systematic review, and identify knowledge gaps. Unlike in a systematic review, translation of the data into clinical practice is not the main objective of a scoping review. A methodology specific to this approach has been designed and is described in this article. Discussion: A scoping review is ideal for clarifying scientific knowledge, but the reader must be aware of the objectives, method, and limitations of the review to use the disseminated information appropriately.

Summary:

Background : Chronic insomnia disorder (CI) is a prevalent sleep disorder that can lead to disturbed daytime functioning and is closely associated with anxiety and depression. First-choice treatment is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-I). Other mind–body interventions, such as Tai-chi and Yoga, have demonstrated subjective improvements in sleep quality. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of Yoga for improvement of subjective and objective sleep quality as well as measures of anxiety, depression, sleepiness, and fatigue in patients with CI. Methods : Adults with CI were prospectively included in this single group pre-post study. Baseline assessments included home polysomnography (PSG), 7-day actigraphy, and questionnaires (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire (PSQI), Hospital Anxiety Depression scale (HADS), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Pichot fatigue scale (PS)). Patients practiced Viniyoga, an individualised Yoga practice with daily self-administered exercises, for 14 weeks. Assessments were repeated at the end of Yoga practice. Results : Twenty-one patients completed the study. Objective sleep measurements revealed no change in PSG parameters after Yoga practice, but a decrease in arousals on actigraphy (p < 0.001). Subjective symptoms improved for all questionnaires (PSQI, p < 0.001; HAD-A, p = 0.020, HAD-D, p = 0.001, ESS, p = 0.041, PS, p = 0.010). In univariate correlations, decrease in PSQI was associated with increase in sleep stage N3 (p < 0.001) on PSG. Conclusions : We have demonstrated a positive impact of individualized Yoga practice on subjective parameters related to sleep and daytime symptoms in CI, resulting in fewer arousals on actigraphy. Yoga could be proposed as a potentially useful alternative to CBT-I in CI, as it is easy to practice autonomously over the long-term. However, given the design of the present study, future prospective controlled studies should first confirm our results.

Summary:

Purpose : Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is the most common ocular complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and is associated with diabetes duration, glycemic control, and hypertension (HTN). Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is frequent in T2D and is associated with poor glycemic control. However, it is unclear if there is an association between OSA and DR. This study aimed to assess whether or not the presence of OSA in patients with T2D was associated with DR. Methods : In this prospective case–control study, consecutive patients with DM attending the ophthalmology clinics were recruited to include patients with DR (cases) and without DR (controls). OSA was diagnosed by attended polysomnography (PSG). Blood pressure and a fasting morning blood sample, including glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), were recorded. Patients were matched for age, body mass index (BMI), gender, and T2D duration. Results : Thirty diabetic patients with DR were matched with 30 controls. In all patients, the prevalence of moderate-to-severe OSA was 57%. In the logistic regression analysis, DR was associated with increased HbA1c (OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.35–5.16, p = 0.004) but not with any PSG parameter. In the DR group, PSG parameters were not associated with the severity of ocular disease (non-proliferative, proliferative, presence/absence of macular edema). The proliferative aspect of DR was correlated with age (p = 0.017). DR occurred more frequently in uncontrolled diabetes compared to well-controlled diabetes (80% vs 38%, p = 0.029). Conclusions : In patients with T2D, the presence of DR is not associated with OSA, but with poorly controlled T2D.

Summary:

Introduction. – After a stroke, the sensorymotor deficits of the trunk should be tested. However, little research has been done on the psychometric qualities of trunk testing. The objective was to assess the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Modified Functional Reach Test (MFRT) and the Trunk Positional Sense Test in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis. Method. – Fifteen participants with subacute post-stroke hemiparesis were included. The MFRT and Trunk Positional Sense Test were evaluated by two physiotherapists in a first session. After rest of 2–4 h, a second similar session was conducted. Reliability was assessed by calculating the intraclass correlation (ICC) and Bland-Altman analysis. Results. – For the MFRT, the mean inter-rater was good to excellent (0,70 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.86), while intra-rater reliability was good to excellent (0.64 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.91). For the Trunk Positional Sense Test, inter-rater reliability was excellent for vertical error measurement (ICC=0,77) and poor for the horizontal error (ICC = −0.03). Intra-rater reliability was poor to weak (−0.03 ≤ ICC ≤ 0.43). Discussion/conclusion. – The MFRT test is reliable enough to be used in clinical practice to assess sitting balance. The trunk positional sense test seems very difficult to apply under good conditions in the event of a stroke.

Summary:

Purpose: Our objective was to examine the psychometric qualities (reliability and validity) and clinical utility of quantitative tools in measuring the static and dynamic standing balance of individuals after stroke.Method: We searched four databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, PEDro, Embase, and CINAHL) for studies published from January 2018 through September 2019 and included those that assessed the psychometric properties of standing balance tests with an adult stroke population. We evaluated the quality of the studies using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) checklist and assessed each test on a utility assessment scale.Results: A total of 22 studies met the inclusion criteria, and 18 quantitative tools for assessing static or dynamic standing balance of individuals with stroke were analyzed. Findings support good or excellent reliability for all tests, whereas correlations for validity ranged from weak to strong. Study quality was variable. Dynamic balance tests had better clinical utility scores than static ones. Five tests had complete psychometric analyses: quiet standing on a force platform, five-step test, sideways step, step length, and turn tests.

Summary:

Elderly people and people with disabilities have a very high sedentary rate that induces a progressive isolation that can jeopardize healthy aging. Barriers to physical activity “in the community” are mainly access difficulties, cognitive-motor deficits and lack of motivation. Thus, it is necessary to propose different, motivating, adaptable, social and integrated activities in the lifestyles to fight against the deleterious effects of isolation and sedentariness of these people. Previously, the free museum visit may have shown benefits on cognition, stress reduction and the well-being of healthy adults. The objective of this project was, for older and visually impaired people, to evaluate the feasibility and interest of co-constructed guided tours to promote cultural heritage and health. This project demonstrated the excellent feasibility of these visits and the high satisfaction of the participants. The museum could therefore participate in health promotion by helping these people to regain pleasure in movement, which should support more active behavior in daily life.

Summary:

Context: After stroke, the trunk control ability is related to standing balance and gait and should be routinely tested early in a rehabilitation program. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the intra and inter-rater reliability of center-of-pressure (CP) parameters measured during assessment of sitting balance on an unstable support (anteroposterior [AP] or mediolateral [ML]) in subjects with hemiparesis after stroke. Method: Fifteen post-stroke subjects with hemiparesis in the subacute phase were included. Subjects were seated on a seesaw generating external unbalance (AP or ML). A stabilometric force platform recorded the progression of the CP parameters for 10 s at a frequency of 100 Hz. lntraclass correlation indices (ICC) were calculated for all CP parameters (length, velocity, sway area, deltas, and variability). Results: Excellent intra and inter-rater reliability (0.81 s ICC s 0.98) was observed for length and mean velocity of displacement, under both ML and AP conditions. The sway area (0.31 s ICC s 0.80) does not appear to be sufficiently reliable for use in clinical practice. Conclusion: ln the context of stroke, the trunk control test during assessment of unstable sitting balance using a stabilometric platform is sufficiently reliable for use in clinical practice if the CP parameters selected are length and velocity.

Clinical biomechanics,  2021, vol. 86, article 105388

Link to the publication

Summary:

Background : Postural strategies of the trunk and the lower limbs are linked to upper limb motor activities. The objective was to analyze the postural organization at the lower limbs as well as the inter-limb coordination during isometric maximal bilateral pushing of upper limbs. Methods : Fifteen individuals after stroke and 17 healthy participants were assessed with an instrumented exerciser paired with an instrumented sitting surface while they executed isometric bilateral pushes with the upper limbs. The anteroposterior, vertical and mediolateral forces were recorded at the handles, the thighs and the feet. Force values at maximal bilateral pushing efforts at each segment and inter-limb coordination between sides were compared. Findings : During the isometric pushes, the paretic maximal forces at the handles for stroke participants were lower than the nonparetic side and lower than both sides of the control participants (p < 0.036). The control and stroke participants had moderate to good coordination for the anteroposterior forces (hands and thighs). While they used similar postural strategies to the controls except for a decreased weight on the paretic foot, vertical forces were less coordinated at the handles and feet in the stroke group (p < 0.050). The inter-trial variability was also higher in the stroke group. Interpretation : Bilateral pushing with gradual efforts induces impaired postural strategies and coordination between limbs in individuals after stroke. It may reveal to be a promising strategy to assess and train post-stroke individuals in a clinical setting. Also, providing feedback would help better control symmetry during efforts.

Summary:

Context: Upper limb plegia is one of the most commonsymptoms after a stroke. Being able to predict the motor recovery of the upper limb at 6 months post stroke using tests that physiotherapists can perform would make it possible to optimize the treatment and offer the patient the possibility of envisioning their future. Objective: The study aimed to determine which clinical variables in the acute (1-7 days) and early subacute (7 days to 3 months) phase predict recovery from stroke. Method: A scoping review was conducted. Following a search for articles in the databases PubMed, PEDro, and CINAHL and application of the selection criteria, 11 articles were included in this study. Results: The chief predictor variables assessed by physiotherapists were finger extension, grip strength, hand motor skills, shoulder abduction, upper limb motor function, somatosensory system, sensibility and severe spasticity. For a severely injured upper limb, the lower limb motor score and stroke severity predicted recovery. The prediction time window was 3-30 days post stroke. Conclusion: Clinical variables predict motor recovery from stroke for the majority of the affected population when they are included in a prognostic model. They differ depending on the evaluation window and the severity of upper limb involvement. The results should be considered with caution because the validity.

Summary:

Introduction: Bariatric surgery leads to loss of fat and fat-free mass (FFM). To preserve FFM it is recommended that weight loss interventions are accompanied by physical activity. However, it remains unknown if functional capacities spontaneously improve after a substantial weight loss. Study’s aim was to assess the effect of bariatric surgery on strength, functional capacities and quality of life of participants with a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 kg/m2. Method: Anthropometric parameters (weight, BMI, waist circumference), physical functions (quadriceps strength, walking capacity, spatio-temporal gait parameters, dynamic balance, lower limb power) and quality of life were assessed before and at three months after the bariatric surgery in 33 individuals who did not follow any physical activity program. Results: The anthropometric parameters, quality of life and three functional abilities (walking capacity, normal gait speed and lower limb power) improved significantly three months post-surgery. In contrast, fast gait speed, absolute strength, normalized strength, and dynamic balance did not improve. Discussion: A massive weight loss should be accompanied by an exercise program aiming to maintain FFM and to enhance muscle strength and balance. Such a program might also enhance functional capacities and help to sustain the weight loss over time.

Summary:

Purpose : Telemonitoring (TMg) for patients treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is now routine care in some sleep labs. The purpose of the present study was to identify technical interventions associated with improved CPAP compliance in a real-life cohort of newly telemonitored patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) during the first 6 months of treatment. Methods : All patients with moderate-to-severe OSA (apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥ 15/h) who were newly treated with CPAP were included in the study and telemonitored. A group educational session was scheduled after 1 month. Technical interventions were performed at the patient’s request and during scheduled visits and the impact of each intervention on CPAP therapy compliance was collected. Results : Between May 2018 and Dec 2019, 349 patients newly diagnosed with OSA were hospitalized in the sleep lab for CPAP titration and 212 patients were included (mean age 54.6 ± 13.1 years, mean BMI 31.7 ± 5.8 kg/m2, mean AHI 42.8 ± 22.0). TMg acceptance rate was 87%. Mean 6-month compliance was 275 ± 154 min, 13% stopped CPAP, and 17% were non-compliant. Correlations were observed between BMI (r = 0.15, p = 0.029), median and 95th percentile leaks (r = −0.23 and −0.18, p = 0.016 and 0.002), and CPAP compliance. During follow-up, 92 interventions were required, mainly for mask change (n = 80). Pressure modification (n = 16) was the only intervention that increased CPAP use > 30 min/night, p = 0.021. Conclusion : Pressure modification was the only adaptation that significantly increased CPAP compliance during the first 6 months. Remote TMg allows providing daily, accurate, and immediate feedback that could help clinicians to confirm that the CPAP treatment is effective.

Summary:

Introduction: Performing a physical activity under hypoxia is beneficial for weight management and is therefore a potential therapeutic tool for individuals with obesity. In addition to its weight loss benefits, hypoxia improves certain cardiometabolic or mechanical comorbidities associated with obesity. However, some comorbidities may be exacerbated by the lack of oxygen. The present review aims to examine the literature regarding the therapeutic use of hypoxia in obesity, to assess the hypoxia-related risks, and to evaluate the recommended modalities in practice. Development: Adding hypoxia to a physical activity program is beneficial for weight loss and reduction in fat mass, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference. Moreover, it offers the possibility to train at a lower intensity, thus reducing the mechanical load on the joints. Improvements in physiological parameters such as insulin sensitivity may be observed. Discussion/Conclusion: Previous studies have demonstrated conclusive effects of hypoxia on the body composition of obese individuals, and no adverse events have been identified. Therefore, hypoxia training is a potentially noteworthy and safe treatment tool for obese individuals. Further research is needed to elucidate the appropriate modalities that combine efficacy and patient safety, understand the effect mechanism of hypoxia on weight loss, and gain precise insights into the effect.

Summary:

Since March 2020 Europe has faced the COVID-19 epidemic. General confinement measures imposed by governments have had a strong impact on cultural practices, including within dance schools. This article describes the actions implemented by the Dance Department of the Lyon National Conservatory of Music and Dance (CNSMDL, France) in order to ensure pedagogical continuity during the confinement period. The study focused on the 12 preparatory-year students in contemporary dance. Despite numerous constraints—primarily small workspaces, unstable Internet connections, and the difficulty of correcting technical dance moves at a distance—all students and teachers were able to maintain pedagogical follow-up through a series of constructed activities. Students appreciated the social aspect (the relationship with their teachers and fellow students) and day structuring component of the scheduling. The online activities helped to avoid student isolation, and motivation seemed unaffected. While online exercises can never replace "in the flesh" dance classes, this crisis provided an opportunity to develop pedagogical innovations and tools that could be reused in face-to-face dance instruction in other contexts such as injuries and intermittent work conditions.

Summary:

Cette revue de littérature avait pour objectif de comparer le taux de blessures de la cheville pour les danseuses présentant une hyperlaxité par rapport aux danseuses non hyperlaxes. La recherche documentaire a été menée sur PubMed/Medline. Les six articles inclus ont montré une augmentation systématique du nombre de blessures au niveau de la cheville pour les danseuses hyperlaxes. Étant donné qu’elles sont particulièrement exposées aux blessures du membre inférieur, il est donc indispensable de diagnostiquer l’hyperlaxité et de proposer des exercices préventifs dès le début de l’apprentissage de la danse.

Gait and posture,  Vol. 82, pp. 233-241

Summary:

Background: Using a mobile phone while performing a postural and locomotor tasks is a common, daily situation. Conversing or sending messages (SMS) while walking account for a significant share of accidental injuries. Therefore, understanding the consequences of using a mobile phone on balance and walking is important, all the more so when these postural and locomotor tasks are aggravated by a disease. Research question: Our objective was to conduct a scoping review on the influence of a dual-task situation – generated by the use of mobile phones – on users' postural and/or locomotor tasks. Methods: The literature search was conducted in English on PubMed/Medline and CINHAL databases, using keywords associated with postural and locomotor tasks and with the use of mobile phones. Study location, population, number of subjects, experimental design, types of phone use, evaluated postural-locomotor tasks and expected effects were then analyzed. Results and significance: 46 studies were included in this work, 24 of which came from North America. All studies compared postural and locomotor tasks with and without the use of a smartphone. Ten studies also compared at least 2 groups with different characteristics. Only 4 studies included pathological subjects. Various modalities were tested, and most studies focused on walking. Results show that the use of smartphones slows down movement and induces a systematic imbalance, except when listening to music. The dual task of "using the smartphone during a postural or locomotor tasks" induces systematic disturbances of balance and movement, which must be taken into account in the rehabilitation approach. Future studies will have to extend the knowledge regarding pathological situations.

Summary:

Introduction : Dance is an intrinsically motivating activity that includes social interaction, stimulation through music, the pleasure of moving despite pathology-induced motor limitations, and it also has good perceived benefits among participants. Feeling pleasure while moving is essential to finding the motivation to engage in a rehabilitation programme. It is, therefore, urgent to provide persons in a poststroke situation with motivating physical activity opportunities. Very few studies have examined dance in a stroke context, while it is highly adapted and effective for other chronic conditions. Our primary objective is to assess the effects of dance programme on patients’ balance control after stroke. Our secondary objective is to investigate the effects of dance on cognitive function, strength, coordination, functional status, balance confidence, quality of life, motivation and adherence. Our hypothesis is that dance increases balance and motor capacities, and improves poststroke quality of life, adherence and motivation. Methods and analysis : Forty-eight subjects with stroke in subacute phase will be randomised into two groups: (1) intervention (dance and standard rehabilitation) and (2) control (standard rehabilitation). Before intervention, stroke severity, cognitive abilities and motor capacities will be assessed. Two baseline tests will be planned to evaluate the stability of individuals. Participants will attend a weekly 60-min dance class for 6 weeks. Cognitive and motor functions (balance, lower-limbs strength, coordination and motor level), quality of life (Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale) will be measured at weeks 4 and 6 in both groups. Participant satisfaction with regard to dance will be tested, as well as adherence and adverse effects.

Summary:

Introduction : The Y balance test is an evaluation of dynamic balance – mainly in the context of sports – and musculoskeletal disorders. Because physical activity or sports are often performed with shoes, it is important to explore balance under this specific condition. The present study aimed to assess the validity and reliability of the Y balance test with shoes and in barefoot condition. Method : Twenty asymptomatic, young, healthy subjects were tested in one day. The first session included a Y balance test with shoes and in barefoot conditions by two different raters (random order). After a break of 2 hours, a second, similar session was conducted. To assess the validity between the results obtained with shoes and in barefoot condition, a Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated. Reliability was estimated with a dependability coefficient (ᵩ), GENOVA (generalizability theory) by the G-study and D-study methods, and Bland-Altman plots. Results : The concurrent validity of the condition with shoes compared with barefoot condition was moderate to strong (0.68 ≤ r ≤ 0.93). For reliability analysis, the main factors explaining the variance in the results were subjects (34.74–59.56 % of variance) and the interaction between subjects, evaluators, and sessions (4.03–15.15 % of variance).The coefficients of dependability (ᵩ) were good to excellent for the intra-rater reliability (0.68 ≤ ᵩ ≤ 0.83) with three trials and for inter-rater reliability (0.65 ≤ ᵩ ≤ 0.88) for two trials in both barefoot condition and with shoes. Discussion and conclusion : The Y balance test can be performed in clinical practice with shoes or in barefoot condition, which can be a note worthy approach to explore dynamic balance in ecological conditions. The G-study and D-study analysis showed that a minimum of three trials was required to obtain good to excellent reliability.

This study is an inventory of the pathologies encountered according to the level of practice while questioning the use of podiatrists by dancers. Follow-up is present, but the approach is often individual and should be better structured to optimize prevention from the very beginning of dance learning.

Summary:

Background : Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is currently recognized as an independent risk factor for hypertension, arrhythmia, coronary heart disease, stroke, and metabolic disorders (e.g. diabetes, dyslipidemia). In clinical practice, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is the marker used to classify disease severity and guide treatment. However, AHI alone does not sufficiently identify OSA patients at risk for cardiometabolic comorbidities. With this in mind, the aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether some polysomnographic parameters (e.g. apnea-hypopnea duration, sleep structure, nocturnal hypoxemia) are specifically associated with cardiometabolic comorbidities in OSA. Methods : In this retrospective study, 1717 patients suffering from moderate/severe OSA were included between 2013 and 2017. Data on demographics, comorbidities, and polysomnographic characteristics were collected and analyzed to identify factors associated with cardiometabolic complications. Results : The medical files of 1717 patients (68% male) were reviewed. The mean AHI was 43.1 +/− 27.7 with 57.3% of patients suffering from severe OSA, and 52% from at least one cardiovascular comorbidity (CVCo). Diabetes affected 22% of the patients and 27% exhibited dyslipidemia. Patients affected by CVCos were older, and more often women and non-smokers. These patients also had worse sleep quality, and a more marked intermittent/global nocturnal hypoxemia. With regard to diabetes, diabetics were older, more often non-smoker, non-drinker women, and were more obese. These patients also exhibited more severe OSA, especially in non-REM (NREM) sleep, worse sleep quality, and a more marked intermittent/global nocturnal hypoxemia. Dyslipidemia was more frequent in the absence of alcohol consumption, and was associated with OSA severity, decreased sleep quality, and longer AH in REM sleep. Conclusions : This study identifies demographic and polysomnographic factors associated with cardiometabolic comorbidities. Patients (especially women) suffering from more severe OSA, longer sleep apneas and hypopneas, worse sleep quality, and marked intermittent/global nocturnal hypoxemia are more likely to develop cardiometabolic comorbidities. This should stimulate clinicians to obtain adequate treatment in this population.

Summary:

Physiotherapy is currently the most common paramedical discipline practiced worldwide, while the increase in chronic diseases substantially increases the demand for rehabilitation treatment. Currently, most countries are reforming their health systems to cope with the increase in the patient's number and cost reduction. To defend physiotherapy and have an impact on these decisions, research is a priority focus. While there is a predominance of the Anglo-Saxon countries in research, various international institutions promote collaboration in research endeavors at a local and national level and cultural foundation that promotes better access to scientific information for health professionals and patients. The challenges of research in the French-speaking world are largely associated with political, societal, professional and education development issues. The rapprochement between french-speaking countries is interesting for four main aspects: to benefit from the advances, experiences and research of other countries; to carry out direct collaborations in order to increase the impact of research; to integrate emerging countries into the development of research; and to promote accessibility to scientific information throughout the French-speaking territory. Although research projects must continue to be disseminated worldwide through international publications in English, the French-speaking world must continue to be strong in order to provide a broad and effective transmission of the best evidence in order to improve care.

Effects of dance activities on patients with chronic pathologies :
Scientific paper ArODES
scoping review

Heliyon,  2019, vol 5, no. 7, E02104

Link to the publication

Summary:

Introduction : Physical inactivity often accompanies chronic pathologies. This induces a sedentariness that favors complications and patient isolation. There is a growing scientific interest in the practice of art, for such activities leave the usual healthcare framework and include the World Health Organization (WHO)'s three dimensions of health. Dance is a universal activity that has been identified as healthy. This scoping review's aim is to study the benefits, modalities and risks of dance for persons with a chronic pathology. Method : The literature research was conducted in English and French, using PubMed and Kinedoc's databases, and keywords related to dance and chronic pathologies. Dance activities that did not involve a dance instructor or a trained health professional were excluded. Studies' location and design, the chosen type of dance, pathologies, the number of subjects, modalities, intended effects and adverse effects were then studied. Results : 51 studies were included in this work. 47.5% were RCTs and 47% originate from North America. The number of published studies is strongly increasing. Sixteen different pathologies were studied, with a large predominance of neurology diseases. Targeted effects were the impacts on mental health, quality of life, physical and motor capacities and pathology-specific symptoms. Dance activities are deemed feasible, and no adverse effects were identified. Discussion : In the event of chronic pathologies, practicing dance is possible; it is stimulating and effective against sedentariness and its adverse effects. Patient adherence is good, and dance seems to respond to the multidimensional component of chronic diseases, while offering unlimited adaptation to patients' physical and cognitive impairments. There are few studies yet, and their methodological quality is moderate, which is why further research work must confirm dance's interest regarding chronic pathologies.

Summary:

Introduction: Stretching has become controversial in recent years due to articles aimed at the general public that suggest stretching is inefficient or carries risks for athletes. This negative approach is based on studies demonstrating that stretching can decrease performance and does not prevent soreness and injuries. Development: This narrative literature review shows that the response to stretching is highly dependent on the type of physical activity, the targeted effect, the type of stretching (static or dynamic) and the modality. Stretching improves range of motion and depending on the context, it can increase performance and prevent discomfort and injury. Discussion: With regard to effectiveness and modalities, scientific research highlights the importance of well-targeted and high quality stretching. Thus, the physiotherapist attending to the athlete must be familiar with the physical activity or sport and the targeted effects in order to determine the most appropriate modalities to gain benefit from the exercises. Conclusion: Properly executed and targeted stretching exercises are of great interest in physical activity and sports. Stretching can increase the range of movement, improve performance and prevent injuries. However, these practices must be well selected and supervised to avoid an absence of effects, or even a negative effect on performance.

Summary:

Objective : The use of activity and sleep trackers that operate through dedicated smartphone applications has become popular in the general population. However, the validity of the data they provide has been disappointing and only Total Sleep Time (TST) is reliably recorded in healthy individuals for any of the devices tested. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of two sleep trackers (Withings pulse 02 (W) and Jawbone Up (U)) to measure sleep parameters in patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Methods : All patients evaluated for OSA in our sleep laboratory underwent overnight polysomnography (PSG). PSG was conducted simultaneously with three other devices: two consumer-level sleep monitors (U and W) and one actigraph (Bodymedia SenseWear Pro Armband (SWA)). Results : Of 36 patients evaluated, 22 (17 men) were diagnosed with OSA (mean apnea-hypopnea index of 37+ 23/h). Single comparisons of sleep trackers (U and W) and actigraph (SWA) were performed. Compared to PSG, SWA correctly assessed TST and Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO), and U and W correctly assessed Time In Bed (TIB) and light sleep. Intraclass correlations (ICC) revealed poor validity for all parameters and devices, except for WASO assessed by SWA. Conclusions : This is the first study assessing the validity of sleep trackers in OSA patients. In this series, we have confirmed the limited performance of wearable sleep monitors that has been previously observed in healthy subjects. In OSA patients, wearable app-based health technologies provide a good estimation of TIB and light sleep but with very poor ICC.

Summary:

Background : Reduced hip muscle strength has been shown to be a major factor related to falls in older persons. However, comprehensive assessment of hip abduction strength in the clinical setting is challenging. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and intra-rater reliability of a quick and simple hip abductor strength test in a functional standing position. Methods : Individuals over 65 years of age were recruited from the geriatric department of a university hospital and an outpatient clinic. Thirty-two older subjects, including 16 fallers (≥1 fall during the last 12 months) and 16 non-fallers were included. Maximum voluntary isometric strength (MVIS) and rate of force generation (RFG) of the hip abductors of the right leg were evaluated in a standing position using a hand-held dynamometer. Two test-sessions were carried out. All hip strength values were normalized to participants’ weight. Reliability was determined using the intra-class correlation coefficient agreement (ICCagreement), the standard error of measurement (SEM) and a Bland and Altman analysis (BA). Results : All participants completed the strength tests, which took a mean 2.47 ± 0.49 min (one limb). Intra-rater reliability was higher for MVIS (0.98[0.95–0.99]) than RFG (ICC = 0.93[0.87–0.97]) for the entire sample. In the non-fallers, ICC was 0.98[0.95–1.00] (SEM = 0.08 N.kg− 1) for MVIS and 0.88[0.75–0.96] for RFG (SEM = 1.34 N.kg-1.s-1). In the fallers, ICC was 0.94[0.89–0.98] (SEM = 0.11 N.kg− 1) for MVIS and 0.93[0.84–0.98] (SEM = 1.12 N.kg− 1.s− 1) for RFG. The BA plot showed that the MVIS and RFG values did not differ across test-sessions, showing that no learning effect occurred (no systematic effect). The mean differences between test-sessions were larger and the LOA smaller in the fallers than in the non-fallers. Conclusion : Assessment of hip strength in a standing position is feasible, rapid and reliable. We therefore recommend this position for clinical practice. Future studies should investigate the diagnostic value of hip abductor strength in standing to discriminate between fallers and non-fallers, and to determine if change in strength following a falls prevention program reduces the risk of falls.

Summary:

Purpose : To analyse dynamic postural strategies during the “grand plié” in two different foot positions (parallel or turned out), with and without vision, and as a function of age in ballet dancers. Method : Twenty young dancers (YD) aged from 8 to 16 years, and 20 adult dancers (AD) aged from 17 to 30 years were recruited. Center of pressure (CoP) and ground reaction forces (GRF) were recorded (500 Hz) during the grand plié (lowering, squatting and rising). This movement was tested with the feet parallel and with both lower limbs turned out (foot angle >140°), with eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC). Groups were compared using Student t-tests. Repeated analysis of variance was used to examine the effects of eyes and foot conditions, with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results : The results of this study showed that dynamic postural strategies during the “grand plié” ballet movement are influenced by age, foot position and visual condition. CoP displacement length (p < 0.003) and CoP speed (p < 0.003) were higher in YD compared with AD. CoP surface (p < 0.05), mediolateral CoP speed (p < 0.048) and GRF parameters, particularly the mediolateral (p < 0.049), were higher than in the parallel than the turned out position. In both groups all CoP (p < 0.042) and GRF parameters (p < 0.049), except the vertical component, were higher with EC than EO. Conclusion : The effect of foot position was greatest with EO. The parallel position was less stable. The YD were more unstable in the parallel position, particularly with EC. For both groups, the lack of vision increased instability. These results show the importance of integrating balance training in a variety of foot positions and visual conditions, particularly during the initial stages of training to prevent injury.

Summary:

Aim : literature review about validity and reliability (intra and inter-raters) of range of motion angle tests with goniometer or inclinometer smartphone application. Method : the research was conducted, in French and English, using the following keywords “healthy subjects”, “phone”, “range of motion”, validity”, “reliability” et “repeatability” on the databases: PubMed, ScienceDirect, Pedro and Kinedoc. A synthesis was carried out and each study was evaluated by the QAREL score. Results : overall, 512 articles were identified. Following the selection criteria, 18 articles were included, with 5 for cervical and lumbar motions, 6 for lower limb and 7 for upper limb. These studies included 601 healthy subjects. The mean QAREL score was 7.61/12 (min: 6–max: 9). Discussion and conclusion : goniometric and inclinometric smartphone applications can be used to measure range of motion. However, these applications should be used with caution for cervical and hip rotations, for hallux and shoulder movements.

Summary:

La recherche clinique apporte une contribution très importante pour préserver la santé des patients et pour l'évolution des professions médicales et paramédicales grâce à l'émergence de connaissances nouvelles. Le processus scientifique consiste à faire des observations qui vont générer des hypothèses, qui sont ensuite testées par une méthode valide et reproductible. En physiothérapie, trois typologies de recherche sont essentiellement abordées : l'évaluation de la qualité d'un outil ou d'un test, l'observation de sujets ou de patients pour comprendre leurs caractéristiques et, enfin, l'évaluation d'une intervention non médicamenteuse. Selon ces objectifs, la mise en place de la méthode de recherche va répondre à des critères différents. Ainsi, l'évaluation d'un outil nécessite de le comparer à un autre outil de référence et d'étudier la fiabilité. Lors de l'observation de sujets, les paramètres étudiés sont comparés aux paramètres d'une population de référence. Enfin, la méthode associée à l'évaluation des effets (bénéfices et risques) d'une intervention non médicamenteuse comprend la constitution aléatoire de deux groupes homogènes en début d'étude. Un groupe reçoit alors l'intervention testée et l'autre groupe reçoit la condition contrôle. Les résultats des deux groupes sont comparés pendant toute la durée du suivi. La réalisation complète d'une étude comprend successivement : la construction de la problématique, la rédaction du protocole et du cahier d'observation, les démarches administratives et éthiques (ainsi que les démarches de financement), l'expérimentation et le recueil des données, le traitement des données et la communication des résultats. Ce cheminement structuré favorise des études rigoureuses dont la méthodologie est argumentée, une phase expérimentale dans le respect du patient et une contribution nouvelle par rapport aux connaissances scientifiques déjà développées. Toute la démarche pratique de recherche veille à répondre à la problématique initiale en anticipant les risques de biais afin d'obtenir des résultats qui se rapprochent le plus possible de la réalité. La connaissance des spécificités de la recherche clinique est un prérequis nécessaire pour participer à des projets de recherche, mais, également pour avoir une analyse critique efficace lors de la lecture d'articles scientifiques.

Summary:

The study assesses the influence of morphological parameters on navicular height in a static standing position of 40 young asymptomatic subjects. Standing height, weight, foot length and navicular height were measured in a random order. Correlation coefficients and a multiple regression analysis were calculated in order to assess the link between navicular height and morphological parameters. For the whole group, navicular height is not correlated to the morphological parameters during the static standing test. The observations in sub-groups (men-women) tend to show that weight has the most influence on this parameter. In clinical practice, it therefore seems relevant during the follow-up of the patient to take both navicular height and weight into account.

Summary:

Introduction: the prevalence of joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is more important for dancers compared with non-dancers. While JHS is favorable for dance practices with a large range of motion movements, it is a risk factor for injuries. The Beighton score is the gold standard test for evaluating the joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS), based on nine joint mobility criteria. Objective: the relevance of the Beighton score criteria according to age in young classical female dancers from a professional dance school. Methods: thirty-six young ballet dancers (11.03 ± 2.18 years) from the National Dance School of Marseille participated in this study. We systematically estimated the Beighton score during the medical examination of the first audition before the dancing lesson. In addition, we measured the anterior global flexion and the plantar flexion. A descriptive statistical analysis, Spearman correlations, and a U of Mann Withney test were performed (comparison between the group of <12 years and ≥12 years old). Results : the Beighton score for all the subjects was 3.58 ± 2.84 with 9. Forty-two percent of the young dancers obtaining values of more than 4/9. The results of the score are not correlated with age, but they do significantly increase for the group of ≥12 years compared with <12 years (p < 0.05). The only criterion that correlates significantly with age (r=0.71, p < 0.05) was the tPertihe test of the anterior flexion. Discussion : the Beighton score seems to be mainly associated with the criteria of hypermobility that evolve little with the age (except for the anterior flexion). Thus, eight criteria out of nine are relevant for the dancer population. Conclusion : the early diagnosis of JHS among young female dancers is a factor that makes it possible to implement preventive actions from the beginning of the apprenticeship.

Summary:

Aim: Literature review of the validity and reliability of seated balance and transfer task tests in hemiparesis patients. Method : A search of the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Pedro, Cochrane and Kinedoc databases was conducted using keywords related to seated balance and transfer tasks. Article quality was evaluated on the QAREL scale. Results: 1241 articles were identified. Applying selection criteria, 12 articles included: 5 on seated balance (mean QAREL score: 7/12; range: 6–8) and 7 on transfer tasks (mean QAREL score: 8.14/12; range: 6–10). Discussion and conclusion : Overall, the tests had good levels of validity and reliability, which proved to be better for hemiparesis patients than for healthy subjects. To avoid errors of measurement and interpretation, these tests should henceforth be preferred in clinical practice.

Summary:

Purpose : The aim of this study was to estimate the effect of altitude (1500 m vs. 3200 m) on balance strategies, and to determine the influence of age (> or <40 years) and expertise (> or <20 days of mountain climbing/year) on postural stability at altitude. Method : Eighty-nine volunteer mountaineers were tested at 1500 m, 3200 m immediately after exiting the cable car and at 3200 m following the climb and return. Double-leg stance with eyes closed and single-leg stance with eyes open were tested. The center of pressure (CoP) was recorded for 12.8 s using a stabilometric force platform. Length, surface, ratio (length/surface), and average speed of the CoP, as well as lower limb loading were calculated. Groups and altitudes were compared using ANOVA. Significance was set to p < 0.05. Results : CoP ratio was significantly higher during both balance conditions at 3200 m compared to 1500 m (p < 0.05). Lower limb loading was symmetrical at 1500 m but not at 3200 m (p < 0.05). There was no influence of age or expertise at 1500 m (p = NS), however at 3200 m, older subjects and subjects with less expertise had greater length and surface of the CoP, showing more instability (p < 0.05). Conclusion : Postural stability was immediately reduced on arrival at 3200 m, particularly in subjects above the age of 40 years with less expertise.

Danser avec les sens pour une approche inclusive au Conservatoire
Conference

Bruyneel Anne-Violette, Lucy Nightingale

Association Romande de Recherche en Education Musicale, 22.11.2024 - 22.11.2024, Neuchâtel

Summary:

Les recherches récentes sur la danse ont mis en évidence que cette activité était particulièrement bénéfique pour le bien-être physique, mental et social des personnes atteintes de maladies chroniques ou de limitations physiques. Néanmoins, la plupart des cours sont réalisés avec des adultes, dans un objectif thérapeutique et au sein de structures de soins, ce qui isole les participant·es.

Le Conservatoire Populaire de Musique, Danse et Théâtre de Genève s’est associé avec la Haute Ecole de Santé de Genève pour proposer un cours de danse mélangeant des enfants présentant une déficience visuelle et des enfants sans déficits. En effet, la déficience visuelle est souvent accompagnée de troubles moteurs et de retards de développement. Dès lors, les enfants sont moins actifs que ceux du même âge sans pathologies, alors que l'activité physique est essentielle à leur bien-être. Un cours de danse hebdomadaire a été proposé pendant deux ans à quatre enfants malvoyants (3 avec déficience visuelle totale de naissance et 1 avec déficience partielle – 10 à 18 ans) et cinq enfants voyants (8 à 10 ans). Le cours était dispensé par une professeure de danse et une physiothérapeute. Un projet de spectacle a clôturé chaque année scolaire.

Les résultats des tests de suivi ont mis en évidence une excellente satisfaction de tous les enfants. Les enfants avec déficiences visuelles ont amélioré leur humeur, leur vitesse de marche, leur capacité d’équilibre et de coordination et ils se sont sentis plus actifs physiquement. De plus, ce projet original, avec son intégration complète dans un conservatoire de danse, a montré une excellente faisabilité. 

Ce type de démarche est essentiel pour changer le regard sur le handicap et faciliter l’inclusion de la diversité. Le travail commun de la danse permet aux enfants de découvrir qu’ils sont face aux mêmes enjeux d’apprentissage et ils développent le même plaisir autour de la danse. Le spectacle intégré dans la Fête de la musique pose un autre regard sur le handicap auprès du public puisque tous les enfants sont danseurs et développent leur créativité autour d’un projet chorégraphique.

Hypermobility and increased risk of ankle injury in dancers: a systematic review
Conference

IADMS, 17.10.2024 - 20.10.2024, Rimini. Italie

Link to the conference

Summary:

Background: When comparing dancers to non-dancers, there is a significant difference in the prevalence of joint hypermobility syndrome. Although hypermobility is frequently viewed as a benefit for dance practice and career advancement, it also increases the risk of injury. Ankle and foot injuries occurred at a very high rate (14% to 54%), however it is unclear how these pathologies relate to hypermobility. Comparing the frequency of ankle injuries among dancers with and without hypermobility was the aim of this systematic review.

Methods: A literature search was carried out on PubMed/Medline by utilizing keywords related to risk factors, ankle injury, dance, and hypermobility. Studies about ankle injuries in ballet or contemporary dancers with hypermobility and a transversal or longitudinal design were required for inclusion. The studies' quality was evaluated after the data was extracted.

Results and Discussion: 83 articles identified. Six articles about 2996 dancers were included based on the selection criteria. The articles' quality ratings varied from a 6 to a 7 out of 8. All of the research' findings indicated that compared to dancers without hypermobility, dancers with hypermobility had a higher risk of developing tendinopathies, arthralgias, and ankle injuries. The ratio between the both groups [ankle injuries hypermobility (%) / ankle injuries control (%)] exceeded one for each of the six studies (1.6 to 2.4).

Conclusion: The hypermobility syndrome represents an intrinsic risk factor for dancers' ankle pain and injuries. Given the prevalence of this syndrome among dancers, early diagnosis is a major prevention issue. In order to minimize the risks for ballet and contemporary dancers, it is imperative to recommend exercises to prevent ankle issues.

Summary:

 

Introduction: Professional musicians face significant risks of pain that are directly related to their musical practice. The transition to higher education presents a particularly high risk due to increased musical workload and performance demands. Pain can hinder students' learning and professional growth. This study focused on identifying physical and mental risk factors for playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) in student musicians.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out with bachelor and master level music students. PRMDs was assessed using the Musculoskeletal Pain Intensity and Interference Questionnaire for Musicians (MPIIQM). Free questions on demographic characteristics and work habits were used. Validated questionnaires assessed physical activity, self-rated health, stress, performance anxiety, perfectionism, physical and mental fatigue, and personality traits. We applied a psychological network analysis to explore the overall correlational structure of the dataset.

Results: Two hundred thirty-five students across three bachelor and two master years filled out the questionnaires. All instruments were represented, with a prevalence of violin and piano. On average, students practiced their main instrument weekly for around 9 hours (±9) at the conservatory, and 20 hours (±10) outside the conservatory. 86 of the 235 students had suffered from PRMDs in the previous 12 months. Network analysis revealed a strong association between PRMDs and mental risk factors (general stress and performance anxiety). In addition, fatigue, perfectionism, physical activity, and self-rated health were associated with pain intensity.

Discussion: To effectively comprehend PRMDs, it is essential to integrate physical and mental risk factors. Integrating stress management in future student training may reduce these risks and lower the incidence of PRMDs.

Marcher en utilisant un smartphone est une situation quotidienne dangereuse [1]. 30% des accidents piétons seraient attribuables à cette double tâche avec une augmentation constante, en particulier pour les personnes âgées [2]. L’écriture d’un texto pendant la marche est une distraction qui sollicite la motricité, la cognition et la vision dans un environnement sensoriel très riche et non sécuritaire [3,4], ce qui induit un enjeu de priorisation de tâche [5].

La revue systématique et la méta-analyse a examiné les paramètres spatio-temporels de la marche pendant la double tâche "texting + marche" comparés à la simple tâche « marche » chez les adultes.

Méthode

Les bases de données PubMed, Embase, CINHAL et LISSA ont été interrogées avec des équations à l’aide de mots clés sur « texting » et « marche ». Deux évaluateurs en aveugle ont procédé à l’inclusion des articles, puis à l’évaluation de la qualité par la grille Downs et Black. Les estimations groupées de l'effet global ont été calculées à l'aide d'une méthode à effets aléatoires ou fixes, et des diagrammes en forêt ont été générés.

Résultats

25 études ont été incluses évaluant des adultes en bonne santé. En plus, d’autres groupes de populations étaient étudiés : des personnes âgées (4 études), avec une sclérose en plaque (2 études) et en surpoids (1 étude). La marche était évaluée avec (N=4) et sans (N=21) obstacles, en condition de laboratoire (N=20) ou écologique (N=7). Huit études avaient un score de qualité de 6-8/16, 7 études entre 9 et 12/16 et 3 études un score supérieur à 12/16. Par rapport à la simple tâche, la méta-analyse a montré une altération significative de la vitesse de marche, de la longueur et de la cadence des pas et des foulées et du simple et double appui en double tâche (p<0,05).

Discussion

Les paramètres spatio-temporels de la marche étaient systématiquement altérés lors de l’ajout de la tâche de texting, quelle que soit la population et les conditions de test. La qualité des études était toutefois modérée avec des modalités de test variables. Malgré les risques augmentés chez les personnes présentant des troubles moteurs, peu d'études ont été menées en condition pathologique.

Summary:

Abstract. The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of range of motion measurement via smartphone applications. This literature review included 26 articles after the selection process. The validity and reliability analysis showed good mean results (ICC or r >0.83). Thus, in clinical practice, photographic, goniometric and inclinometric smartphone applications can be used to measure joint angle, but with caution for cervical, hip and shoulder motions.
