“…These results are consistent with prior research indicating that physical limitations are associated with mental health problems, irrespective of agreement between caregivers and care recipients 57,58,59 . Therefore, increased functional limitations could indicate that caregiving activities are more intensive, which may alter prior relationship dynamics and strain the relationship between PLHAs and their caregivers.…”

“…31e35 One possible explanation of our results is that slow gait speed and depressive symptom form a vicious cycle whereby slow gait induces depressive symptoms; namely, difficulty walking results in decreased physical activities and a restricted living space, which subsequently result in a loss of social support and isolation and eventually leads to depressive symptoms and depression. 36 In contrast, depressive symptoms can then lead to physical dysfunction by feelings of discouragement and hopelessness, which reduce people's willingness to attempt tasks that they are otherwise capable of performing. 37 Subsequently, this decrease in physical activities and life space restriction might lead to physical function decline, eventually leading to slow gait speed.…”

Study Design Clinical measurement Purpose The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) v1.2 Upper Extremity (UE) item bank was recently developed in response to research demonstrating UE function to be a separate domain from general physical function as measured with PROMIS instruments. In particular, the PROMIS v1.2 UE item bank assesses upper extremity physical function in patients with hand and upper extremity conditions. Though validation on a general sample was conducted prior to its release, the psychometric properties of the PROMIS v1.2 UE item bank have not been fully evaluated in specific populations. This study assesses the performance of the PROMIS v1.2 UE within the UE orthopaedic patient population. Methods A total of 1,197 adult patients presenting to a tertiary orthopaedic clinic specializing in hand and upper extremity conditions were administered the PROMIS v1.2 UE items and three other PROMIS scales. Descriptive statistics of patient demographics and item raw scores were performed, as well as Rasch analysis of the PROMIS v1.2 UE item bank. Results The PROMIS v1.2 UE item bank fits a unidimensional Rasch model. It demonstrated adequate reliabilities, item local independence and model fit. There was essentially no issue with gender differential item functioning. The test items mostly targeted low levels of function, thus revealing large ceiling effect. Conclusions The PROMIS v1.2 UE item bank is a useful clinical assessment tool with good psychometric properties that can be implemented in clinical settings. Consideration should be given to supplemental testing for patients at higher levels of function with other legacy tests until the ceiling effects of the PROMIS v1.2 UE item bank are addressed.

Depression, anxiety and physical function: exploring the strength of causality

Abstract: It is essential to prevent lower levels of physical function as this is likely to lead to onset of depression and anxiety over time.
