Effectiveness of postoperative home-exercise compared with usual care on kinesiophobia and physical activity in spondylolisthesis: A randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Progressive 12-month home-exercise starting 3 months postoperatively was not superior to usual care in decreasing kinesiophobia or increasing physical activity in spondylolisthesis.

Preoperative and postoperative psychologically informed physical therapy: A systematic review of randomized trials among patients with degenerative spine, hip, and knee conditions

“…Two independent reviewers assessed full‐text manuscripts of the remaining 42 articles for inclusion, excluding 30 full‐text articles that did not meet review inclusion criteria (Table S5). In total, 12 articles representing 10 unique studies met eligibility criteria (Abbott, Tyni‐Lenne, & Hedlund, ; Archer et al, ; Christensen, Laurberg, & Bunger, ; Ilves et al, ; Johansson, Linton, Bergkvist, Nilsson, & Cornefjord, ; Lindback, Tropp, Enthoven, Abbott, & Oberg, ; Monticone et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Berfelo, et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Vlaeyen, et al, ; Saw, Kruger‐Jakins, Edries, & Parker, ; Wibault et al, ). For the purposes of this review, results from related studies by Ostelo, Vet, Berfelo, et al (), Ostelo, Vet, Vlaeyen, et al (), and Wibault et al () were consolidated as these data were from the same sample and included different outcomes (Wibault et al, ) or outcomes measured at different time points (Ostelo, Vet, Berfelo, et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Vlaeyen, et al, ).…”

“…Two studies examined preoperative PIPT (Lindback et al, ; Saw et al, ), while the remaining eight studies included postoperative PIPT. PIPT delivery occurred via telephone in three postoperative studies (Archer et al, ; Ilves et al, ; Monticone et al, ) as opposed to in‐person intervention delivery. Two studies provided postoperative PIPT in isolation from other co‐interventions (Archer et al, ; Christensen et al, ).…”

“…Abbott et al () and Archer et al () provided the most comprehensive PIPT, including cognitive, behavioral, and psychoeducation components. Ilves et al () incorporated psychoeducation only. One study included peer support as a PIPT component (Christensen et al, ).…”

“…One study included postoperative physician advice to stay active as a comparator (Monticone et al, ). A home‐based exercise program was the primary comparison group in three studies (Abbott et al, ; Ilves et al, ; Johansson et al, ). Two studies included structured in‐person physical therapy (Christensen et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Berfelo, et al, ).…”

“…Nine studies assessed physical function or disability outcomes including the Daily Function Capacity Questionnaire (Christensen et al, ), Health Assessment Questionnaire—Disability Index (Saw et al, ), Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (Monticone et al, ), Neck Disability Index (Wibault et al, ), Oswestry Disability Index (Abbott et al, ; Archer et al, ; Johansson et al, ; Lindback et al, ), and Roland Disability Questionnaire (Ostelo, Vet, Berfelo, et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Vlaeyen, et al, ) (Table ). Ten studies assessed pain outcomes, including the Brief Pain Inventory (Archer et al, ; Saw et al, ), Low Back Pain Rating Scale (Christensen et al, ), Numeric Rating Scale (Monticone et al, ), and Visual Analog Scale (Abbott et al, ; Ilves et al, ; Johansson et al, ; Lindback et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Berfelo, et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Vlaeyen, et al, ; Wibault et al, ) (Table ). Seven studies assessed quality of life outcomes, including the European Quality of Life Questionnaire (Abbott et al, ; Johansson et al, ; Lindback et al, ; Saw et al, ) and the 12‐item (Archer et al, ) and 36‐item Short Form Health Survey (Abbott et al, ; Johansson et al, ; Lindback et al, ; Monticone et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Berfelo, et al, ; Ostelo, Vet, Vlaeyen, et al, ) (Table ).…”
