“…However, one extra item would raise the score to a roughly estimated (17.8/11) Â 12 ¼ 19.4, which also lies in the mentioned range. Van der Ploeg et al 5 found much higher scores in 46 participants with a disability (74.9 MET h day À1 ) (Figure 2). This might be explained by the inclusion of people with less severe disabilities such as chronic pain, whiplash and back disorders.…”

“…The expectation was that the PASIPD would correlate better with activity data measured by accelerometry, however, low correlation coefficients (r ¼ 0.30) were found in non-wheelchair-dependent persons with a physical disability. 5 Weak-to-moderate relationships between the PASIPD total score and the physical capacity parameters were found. Although the expectation was that those with a high activity level measured by the PASIPD would have a better fitness, these variables do not measure exactly the same concepts and correlation coefficients will not be very high.…”

“…This might be explained by the inclusion of people with less severe disabilities such as chronic pain, whiplash and back disorders. 5 In general, low PASIPD scores are found in people with a disability taking the maximal score into account (182.5-199.5 MET h day À1 dependent on the number of items included). The internal consistency of the PASIPD was weak (Cronbach a ¼ 0.63) 10 in our group with SCI.…”

Study design: Cross-sectional study. Objectives: To evaluate the physical activity scale for individuals with physical disabilities (PASIPD) in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Setting: Eight Dutch rehabilitation centers with a specialized SCI unit. Methods: The PASIPD was examined by comparing group scores of people with different personal (age, gender and body mass index) and lesion characteristics (level (paraplegia/tetraplegia), completeness, time since injury (TSI)) in 139 persons with SCI 1 year after discharge from in-patient rehabilitation. Relationships between PASIPD scores and measures of activities (wheelchair skills, Utrecht Activity List, mobility range and social behavior subscales of the SIP68) and fitness (peak oxygen uptake, peak power output and muscular strength) were determined. Results: Persons with tetraplegia had significantly lower PASIPD scores than those with paraplegia (Po0.02). Persons with longer TSI had lower PASIPD scores than persons with shorter TSI (Po0.03). PASIPD scores showed moderate correlations with activities (0.36-0.51, Po0.01) and weak-tomoderate correlations with fitness parameters (0.25-0.36, Po0.05). Conclusion: In a fairly homogeneous group of persons with SCI, 1 year after in-patient rehabilitation, the PASIPD showed weak-to-moderate relationships with activity and fitness parameters. There seems to be a limited association between self-reported activity level and fitness in people with SCI.

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a birth defect that involves congenital joint contractures in two or more joints including the limbs, spine, and jaw. The purpose of our study was to identify long-term outcomes of adults with AMC. We recruited 177 participants from over 15 countries, making this the largest international study of adults with AMC. Participants provided demographic information including living situation and mobility and completed two standardized outcome measures, of quality of life and physical activity, using an online survey format. The data were compiled and descriptive analyses were performed. The study group consisted of 72% females and a mean age of 39 years. Over 90% of participants had upper and lower limb involvement, 35% had scoliosis or lordosis while 16% had jaw problems. Participants had an average of nine (0-70) surgeries at the time of the study. The majority (75%) of respondents lived independently of family members (on their own or with a partner). Participants were nearly three times more likely to have a graduate degree than the general US population. Participants reported lower physical function scores than the general US population; however, they reported similar or higher scores for the other quality of life domains of the SF-36. They were considerably less physically active than able-bodied individuals. Half of participants experienced chronic back pain and 60% reported joint pain. Additionally, almost half of the participants took regular pain medications.

The cardiorespiratory response and physiological determinants of the assisted 6‐minute handbike cycle test in adult males with muscular dystrophy

Introduction: The assisted 6‐minute cycle test (A6MCT) distance was assessed in adults with muscular dystrophy (MD). Methods: Forty‐eight males, including those with Duchenne MD (DMD), limb‐girdle MD (LGMD), fascioscapulohumeral MD (FSHD), and Becker MD (BMD), as well as a group without MD (CTRL), completed handgrip strength (HGS), lung function [forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC)], body fat, and biceps thickness assessments. During the A6MCT, ventilation (Ve), oxygen uptake (Vo 2), carbon dioxide (Vco 2), and heart rate (HR) were recorded. Results: A6MCT and HGS were lower in MD than CTRL subjects. FEV1, FVC, and biceps thickness were lower in MD than CTRL; lower in DMD than BMD, LGMD, and FSHD; but were not different between BMD, LGMD, and FSHD. A6MCT correlated with HGS, FEV1, FVC, body fat, Vo 2, Vco 2, HR, and Ve (r = 0.455–0.708) in pooled BMD, LGMD, and FSHD participants. Discussion: A shorter A6MCT distance in adult males with MD was attributable to HGS and lung function. The A6MCT is appropriate for assessment of physical function in adults with MD.
