Objective: To compare rehabilitation outcomes based on anterior hip arthroplasty for patients with and without post-operative surgical precautions.Methods: Sixty-eight consecutive patients' medical records were retrospectively reviewed. Main outcome measures included total admission and total discharge functional independence measure (FIM) scores, FIM gain, FIM gain per day, and length of stay (LOS).Results: Group 1, n=31, included patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation without post-operative surgical precautions. Group 2=37, included patients admitted to inpatient rehabilitation with post-operative surgical precautions. No statistically significant differences were observed between the groups at admission for age (Group 1 mean age=66.74 years; Group 2=67.30 years; F=0.014, p=811) and admission FIM scores (p=.866), suggesting groups were similar at admission. At discharge, both groups made similar progress related to overall FIM gain (p=. 679) and discharge FIM scores (p=.864). There was a statistically significant difference between the groups for LOS with the no-precaution group demonstrating approximately a 3-day shorter stay (Group 1=8.97 days; Group 2=11.73 days; F=0.195, p=0.012). This finding translated into improve FIM efficiency for Group 1 with statistically significant differences observed for Motor FIM gain per day for Group 1=2.83 and for Group 2=2.0 (F=17.275, p=0.007) and Total FIM gain per day with Group 1=2.90 and Group 2=2.07 (F=15.318, p=.006).
Conclusion:Both groups made similar progress during inpatient rehabilitation with respect to overall FIM gain and discharge FIM scores. The no-precaution group made gains within a shorter timeframe reflecting improve efficiency with rehabilitation outcomes for the no-precaution group.
of 1.8 (95% CI, 1.3-2.3) symptoms of a maximum 22 with a severity of 3.0 (95% CI, 1.9-4.1) (maximum possible 132). The most commonly reported symptoms were trouble falling asleep (n¼34, 21%), fatigue (n¼29, 18%), neck pain (n¼28, 17%), and nervousness/anxiety (n¼28, 17%). The mean immediate memory score was 14.6 (95% CI, 14.5-14.7) of a maximum 15 and the mean delayed recall score was 4.0 (95% CI, 3.9-4.2) of a maximum 5. The concentration examinations, repetition of digits backwards and months in reverse order, were completed with 74% and 91% accuracy, respectively. Participants averaged maximum orientation and coordination scores. Conclusions: This study provides normative baseline values for the SCAT3 among collegiate and professional American football players. Our findings suggest the presence of few reported symptoms at baseline and high proficiency on the orientation, memory, concentration, and coordination components of the SCAT3. These data may be used to guide clinicians when making return-to-play decisions for injured athletes in the absence of individual baseline tests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
