“…Responsiveness determined by the AUC was good, although the SDC and MIC were quite high (45/248 and 37/248, respectively). Our SEM of 16.2 is similar to that found by Benhissen et al, but the MIC reported by them is lower (26/248) [44]. This might be explained by a different method to determine the ROC cut-off point or actual differences in MIC, e.g.…”

Background Musculoskeletal complaints of arm, neck, and shoulder (CANS) can lead to loss of work productivity. To assess the functional consequences of impairments in work, patient-reported outcomes can be important. The Hand Function Sort (HFS) is a 62-item pictorial questionnaire that focuses on work task performance. The aims of this study were the cross-cultural adaptation of HFS into HFS-Dutch Language Version (HFS-DLV) (Part I) and determining construct validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, responsiveness and floor/ceiling effects of HFS-DLV (Part II). Methods I: Translation into Dutch using international guidelines. II: Construct validity was assessed with Spearman’s correlation coefficients between the HFS-DLV and the Dutch version of the QuickDASH, PRWHE, PDI, RAND-36, NRS-pain, and work ability score. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s α and reliability by a test-retest procedure. A global rating scale of change was used after 4–8 weeks of hand therapy to determine responsiveness. Results I: Forty patients were included, and no items were changed. II: 126 patients with hand, wrist, and/or forearm disorders classified as specific or nonspecific CANS. Six predefined hypotheses (50%) were confirmed. Cronbach’s α: 0.98. Test-retest reliability: ICC of 0.922. AUC of 0.752. There were no floor/ceiling effects. Conclusions I: Translation process into the HFS-DLV went according to plan. II: For construct validity, the presumed direction of correlations was correct, but less than 75% of hypotheses were confirmed. Internal consistency was high, suggesting redundancy. Reliability and responsiveness of the HFS-DLV were good. HFS-DLV can be used in research or clinical practice for Dutch patients with CANS, to evaluate self-reported functional work ability.

“…To determine between-group difference, the data were analyzed by analysis of covariance (using ANCOVA and entering the pre-intervention values as covariates in the statistical model) and independent t-tests. Estimated MCID of the CVA and SA was calculated by the distribution method that uses effect size (EZ) obtained from partial eta squared values, standard deviation (SD), and standard error of measurement (SEM) according to this formula [ 37 ].…”

Establishing minimal clinically important difference for effectiveness of corrective exercises on craniovertebral and shoulder angles among students with forward head posture: a clinical trial study

Background Previous studies have addressed the effects of different exercises and modalities on forward head posture (FHP), but the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the effect of exercises on FHP remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of selective corrective exercises (SCEs) on the craniovertebral angle (CVA) and shoulder angle (SA) in students with FHP and to establish MCID for these angles. Methods In this randomized clinical trial study, a total of 103 second-grade male students with FHP were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. CVA and SA of participants were measured before and after the 8-week selective corrective exercise program (including strengthening and stretching exercises). The photogrammetric method was used to measure CVA and SA. MCID value was calculated for CVA and SA using the distribution method. Results The results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of CVA (F = 89.04, P = 0.005, Effect size = 0.47) and SA (F = 18.83, P = 0.005, Effect size = 0.16). After eight weeks of selective corrective exercises, the MCID values of CVA and SA were 1.40° and 1.34°, respectively. Conclusion This study revealed that the selective corrective exercises might lead to postural correction of students having FHP problem. Results further indicated that a corrective exercise program would be considered beneficial if it increased CVA and SA values at least 1.40 and 1.34 degrees, respectively.
