“…Direct waiting times were compared using a two-sided t -test. The CSS was analyzed item by item because its unidimensionality has been questioned, 18 , 21 using a two-sided Mann–Whitney U test. The QPS was analyzed using a two-sided Wilcoxon signed-rank test.…”

Background:Waiting is common in health care, delays intervention, and has negative effects on satisfaction with services.Objectives:To evaluate effects of a modified walk-in system, where patients were invited consecutively from the waiting list to attend the clinic on a walk-in basis, on waiting times, services, and work environment.Study design:Parallel-group trial.Methods:In all, 1286 consecutive patients in need of shoe insoles were randomized to waiting lists for modified walk-in (n = 655) or a scheduled appointment (n = 631). Seven staff members also participated.Results:The median indirect waiting time to first appointment was 40 days shorter for modified walk-in (135 days) than for scheduled appointment (175 days; p < 0.001); 17% of those randomized to modified walk-in did not attend the clinic compared to 6% for scheduled appointment (p < 0.001). Mean direct waiting time in the waiting room was 9.9 min longer for modified walk-in than for scheduled appointment (p < 0.001). Patients attending modified walk-in or a scheduled appointment reported similar levels of satisfaction with services. Staff reported more support from co-workers with modified walk-in than with scheduled appointment (p = 0.041).Conclusion:The modified walk-in can reduce indirect waiting times without any substantial worsening of direct waiting times, service quality, or work environment. Studies are needed to investigate why many patients drop out from modified walk-in.Clinical relevanceA modified walk-in system can cut the queues and create more timely interventions by reducing indirect waiting times. This system can therefore be recommended in secondary-care prosthetic and orthotic clinics to reduce patients’ suffering from their health condition.

“…To create a new tool measuring the construct of mobility in people with LLA using a prosthesis, the starting point was the revised version of the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire -Mobility Section (PEQ-MS12/5), a recently proposed scale composed of 12 items rated with a 5-level scale (5). Based on the results of our previous studies (5)(6)(7) and clinical experience, the expert committee decided to change the wording of 2 items of the PEQ-MS12/5 (adding more detail), simplify the wording of the 5 response options (from 0 = unable, to 4 = no problems), and add to its 12 items 2 new items of higher difficulty (in order to allow better measurement of the "high performer" group of more mobile persons with LLA): "Walk up to two hours" and "Run one block", selected from the modified Lower Extremity Functional Status module of the Orthotics and Prosthetics Users' Survey (8). The resulting item set evaluated mobility capabilities as perceived by the patient when using the lower limb prosthetic devices.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESAssessing patient satisfaction with orthosis (PSwO) is a key point for clinical practice to increase a patient’s adherence to therapeutic programs and reduce orthotic-related costs. The Client Satisfaction with Device (CSD) module of the Orthotics and Prosthetics Users’ Survey (OPUS) is one of the most widely-used questionnaires for assessing PSwO, but its validated version in the Arabic language is lacking. The objective of this study is to generate and psychometrically validate an Arabic version of the CSD (CSD-Ar).DESIGN AND SETTINGSThis is a cross-sectional study, conducted during February to June 2013 at 2 inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation departments in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.PATIENTS AND METHODSTranslation of CSD-Ar was carried out according to the guideline recommendations of Linacre. A convenience sample of 100 orthotic-user patients with various conditions (59% men, mean age 36 years) completed the CSD-Ar. Data were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis followed by Rasch analysis.RESULTSFactor analysis confirmed the unidimensionality of the CSD-Ar. Rasch criteria for the functioning of rating scale categories were fulfilled. All items showed an adequate fit to the Rasch model. The person separation reliability was .75 and Cronbach alpha .83. There was a borderline local dependency between items 1 (“My device fits well”) and 3 (“My device is comfortable throughout the day”).CONCLUSIONThe internal construct validity of the CSD-Ar in Arab patients with various types of orthotics has been confirmed. This study provides a useful starting point for the use of this outcome measure in Arabic-speaking countries.

Validity evidence for a modified version of the Orthotics and Prosthetics Users’ Survey

Abstract: This study supports the validity of a modified version of OPUS for persons using different P&O devices, but also reveals limitations to be addressed in future studies. OPUS could be useful in clinical rehabilitation and research to evaluate P&O outcomes.
