“…Reliability of the EP-AAT was investigated by calculating Cronbach’s α for each bias-score with the individual bias-scores per picture. Internal reliability of the alcohol-appetitive bias (10 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.38), alcohol-positive bias (10 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.46), alcohol-negative bias (10 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.43), appetitive bias (10 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.44), positive bias (10 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.20), and negative bias (10 items, Cronbach’s α = 0.48) was fairly poor (46) but not unusual for implicit reaction time tests (47, 48). …”

Mechanisms Underlying Alcohol-Approach Action Tendencies: The Role of Emotional Primes and Drinking Motives

2014

The tendency to approach alcohol-related stimuli is known as the alcohol-approach bias and has been related to heavy alcohol use. It is currently unknown whether the alcohol-approach bias is more pronounced after emotional priming. The main aim of this study was to investigate whether positive and negative emotional primes would modulate the alcohol-approach bias. For this purpose, a new contextual emotional prime-approach avoidance task was developed, containing both negative and positive emotional primes. Explicit coping drinking motives were expected to be related to an increased alcohol-approach bias after negative primes. Results of 65 heavy and 50 occasional drinkers showed that the alcohol-approach bias was increased in both groups during negative emotional priming. This appeared to be due to slower alcohol avoidance rather than faster alcohol approach. This change in alcohol-approach bias was positively related to explicit enhancement drinking motives and negatively related to alcohol use-related problems. A stronger alcohol-approach bias in heavy compared to occasional drinkers could not be replicated here, and coping drinking motives were not related to the alcohol-approach bias in any of the emotional contexts. The current findings suggest that both occasional and heavy drinkers have a selective difficulty to avoid alcohol-related cues in a negative emotional context. Negative reinforcement may therefore be involved in different types of drinking patterns. The influence of emotional primes on alcohol-related action tendencies may become smaller when alcohol use becomes more problematic, which is in line with habit accounts of addiction.

“…Higher scores indicate greater levels of kinesiophobia than lower scores. The Function in Sitting Test 16 was used for this patient because of her low level of function. The Function in Sitting Test is a 14-item performance-based measure of sitting balance that requires the therapist to rank the patient on a scale of 0 (dependent) to 4 (independent) for each task.…”

“…The highest score possible is 56, indicating independence, and the lowest score is 0, indicating maximal assistance required. 16 Finally, the supine to sit item of the University of Rochester Acute Care Evaluation 17 was performed. The University of Rochester Acute Care Evaluation is a performance-based assessment that her medications or received any medical care for more than a year secondary to lack of insurance and fi nancial diffi culties.…”

Engagement in exercise for people with Parkinson’s: What is meaningful?

Whilst it is suggested that exercise is integral in the management of Parkinson’s, there is minimal literature exploring this population’s perceptions about exercise, and how these perceptions relate to standardised physical outcome measures. This mixed method study explored participants’ views on an exercise programme which was offered as part of an intervention in a randomised controlled trial for people with Parkinson’s. Participants in the intervention group (n = 21) received an exercise programme and a cognitive enrichment programme while the control group (n = 20) continued with usual care. Semi-structured, face to face, audio-recorded individual or group interviews were undertaken with the intervention group and data analysed thematically. Quantitative data extracted from the clinical trial included the 6 Minute Walk Test and the mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (mini-BESTest). The themes: ‘Having trust in professional guidance’, and ‘An understanding and supportive environment’ contributed to the overarching theme of ‘A sense of individual empowerment’. Together the themes demonstrated meaningful holistic benefits gained by participants, which differed from the non-statistically significant quantitative results from the clinical trial. Small group tailored exercise effectively addressed multiple cornerstones of health in people with Parkinson’s, creating an overall sense of individual empowerment. This study also suggests that research may overemphasise reporting of standardised physical outcomes to the detriment of what participants perceive as meaningful outcomes.

Development and Validation of the Function In Sitting Test in Adults With Acute Stroke

Abstract: The 14-item FIST is reliable and valid in adults following acute stroke. Studies of intra- or intertester reliability and evaluative validity studies including applications to other patient populations with sitting balance dysfunction are now necessary.
