Physical Activity in Adults With an Amputation as Assessed With a Self‐Reported Exercise Vital Sign

Abstract: Background Physical activity (PA) is important for the prevention and treatment of numerous chronic medical conditions. Individuals with a limb amputation face unique challenges for staying physically active. There are few studies evaluating PA of civilians with amputation in the United States. Objective To evaluate self‐reported PA in persons with an amputation in the outpatient setting using a standardized exercise vital sign (EVS) and correlate PA with demographic information, amputation characteristics, an… Show more

“…f Score was calculated by using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification codes (13) for 17 health conditions from the 3 years before the first clinic visit with PAVS recorded. A higher Charlson Comorbidity Index score is generally associated with increased age, comorbidities, and allcause mortality (11)(12)(13) b Patients reporting 0 minutes per week of physical activity consistently in all clinic visits were classified as consistently inactive; patients reporting ≥150 minutes per week of physical activity in all visits were classified as consistently active; patients who reported physical activity rates that did not fit the above 2 categories consistently for all visits were classified as inconsistently active (<150 min/wk). c χ 2 test for independence of variables.…”

“…Since some patients had more than one visit in which a physical activity vital sign was recorded, the following final categorization of the physical activity vital sign was used: “consistently inactive” if 0 min/week was reported in all visits; “consistently active” if ≥150 min/week was reported in all visits; and “inconsistently active” if between 1 and 149 min/week was reported or if activity level fluctuated between categories during repeat visits. This same categorization has been used in published studies on the physical activity vital sign in different patient populations 14 …”

“…10,11 It is widely used in the literature and is already implemented in multiple large healthcare systems, including Kaiser Permanente and Intermountain Healthcare. 12 It has also been validated against accelerometry data 11 and used in ethnically diverse populations, 13 in patients with limb amputation, 14 as well as in primary care clinics and specialty care settings. 15 The physical activity vital sign has not yet been implemented in MS specialty clinics.…”
