RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Physical therapy and orthopaedic surgery are two common treatments for non-arthritic hip pain. Interdisciplinary evaluation across these disciplines may produce a more supportive treatment-planning process; however, the feasibility of such an evaluation remains unknown. HYPOTHESIS OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of an interdisciplinary evaluation with an orthopaedic surgeon and physical therapist for non-arthritic hip pain. STUDY DESIGN: Observational feasibility study of a randomized controlled trial. METHODS: Participants were randomized to an interdisciplinary (surgeon + physical therapist) or standard (surgeon) evaluation in a hip preservation clinic. Recruitment rate was recorded. Retention rate was calculated for all variables of interest. Enrollment and refusal reasons were recorded as patient quotes and categorized by a single grader. Time spent in clinic was compared across groups using Mann Whitney U tests (P ≤ 0.05). Study clinicians were interviewed, and responses were categorized based on pre-determined themes. RESULTS: Eighty-one percent of eligible patients enrolled over a 15-month recruitment period. Willingness(n = 16), urgency to resolve pain(n = 10), financial compensation(n = 1), interest in research(n = 42), physical therapy(n = 6), or multiple-provider care(n = 15) were participants' enrollment reasons; reason was not recorded for 22 participants. Time(n = 11), preference for single-provider care(n = 6), current physical therapy treatment(n = 1), and disinterest in physical therapy(n = 7) or research(n = 2) were refusal reasons of patients who did not enroll. Retention for primary variables of interest was 100% in both groups. Participants spent, on average, 23.5 min more time in clinic for the interdisciplinary evaluation compared to the standard (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: An interdisciplinary evaluation for patients with non-arthritic hip pain that included a physical therapist and orthopaedic surgeon in a hip preservation clinic was feasible and may better inform the treatment planning process.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: Ventral hernia repairs (VHR) are performed to restore the integrity of the abdominal wall. Fear of movement, or kinesiophobia, may develop in patients with ventral hernia due to pain and functional impairments, however it has not yet been objectively measured in this patient population. The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that in patients with ventral hernia awaiting surgical repair, higher levels of kinesiophobia would be associated with poorer mobility, abdominal core function, and quality of life. METHODS: Seventy-seven participants scheduled for ventral hernia repair were enrolled as part of an ongoing randomized controlled trial (NCT05142618). The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11) is an 11-item questionnaire that asks about fear of movement and physical activity restriction. Participants were split into groups based on their TSK-11 score (minimal, low, moderate to high). Primary outcome measures included the five-time sit-to-stand (5xSTS), Quiet Unstable Sitting Test (QUeST), and the Hernia-Related Quality-of-Life (HerQLeS) survey. A one-way ANOVA with a Bonferroni correction compared QUeST, 5xSTS, and HerQLes results between groups. RESULTS: Groups were significantly different on 5xSTS (minimal: 11.4 ± 2.6 s, low: 13.8 ± 3.1 s, moderate to high: 17.8 ± 9.8 s; p = 0.001) and HerQLes (minimal: 58.0 ± 27.8, low: 49.4 ± 22.0, moderate to high: 30.6 ± 25.3; p = 0.003) but not QUeST (minimal: - 2.8 ± 2.5, low: - 6.8 ± 10.0, moderate to high: - 5.5 ± 5.0; p = 0.16). CONCLUSION: Individuals with moderate to high kinesiophobia have worse pre-operative performance-based (5xSTS) and self-reported (HerQLes) function and quality of life than those with minimal and low kinesiophobia. Future research should examine the influence of kinesiophobia on post-operative outcomes as it may be a potent target for rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relation between accelerometer-measured physical activity and real-time pain in individuals with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). We tested the hypothesis that increased duration of high intensity activity would contribute to momentary increases in pain. DESIGN: Observational study. SETTING: Participants' natural, day-to-day environment. PARTICIPANTS: Population-based sample of 33 individuals with unilateral FAIS. Important eligibility criteria included no concomitant hip disorders or previous hip surgery. Key sociodemographic features include that all participants were required to have a smartphone. INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Duration and intensity of physical activity as measured by a waist-worn accelerometer, and instantaneous pain reported in real-time smartphone-based ecological momentary assessment surveys. Physical activity variables included each person's average sedentary time, light physical activity (LPA), and moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the 90 minutes proceeding all pain surveys as well as fluctuation in sedentary, LPA, and MVPA above or below average prior to each individual survey. RESULTS: Linear mixed models revealed that the significant predictors of pain included fluctuation in sedentary time (B=-0.031, P<.001), average LPA (B=0.26, P=.035), and the interaction between fluctuation in LPA and fluctuation in MVPA (B=0.001, P<.001). Fluctuation in sedentary time above a person's average was associated with lower pain, while average LPA and fluctuations above average in both LPA and MVPA were associated with higher pain. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that individuals with FAIS can engage in health-enhancing MVPA but should focus on avoiding concurrent increase above average in both high intensity and LPA in the same 90-minute period. Future work is warranted testing the efficacy of such an approach on pain. Additionally, given that high levels of LPA may arise from a host of socioeconomic factors, additional research is needed to disentangle the effect of LPA on pain in FAIS.

BACKGROUND: Patients with hip-related pain often fail to return to their desired level of activity following hip arthroscopy. Lasting biomechanics alterations may be one potential explanation. Dynamic joint stiffness assesses the mechanistic controls of the lower limb during high impact movements, and thus, may provide valuable clinical targets to improving movement and optimizing return to activity after surgery. METHODS: Twenty-five participants (13 females) with hip-related pain underwent 3D motion capture during a drop jump task before surgery and six months post-operatively. Nineteen healthy controls (9 females) were collected for comparison. Sagittal plane dynamic joint stiffness was calculated during the initial landing phase. Baseline and 6-month dynamic joint stiffness data were compared 1) between males and females with hip-related pain and 2) between individuals with hip-related pain and controls using Wilcoxon Signed-Rank and Mann Whitney U tests. Sexes were analyzed separately. FINDINGS: From baseline to 6 months post-operatively, females with hip-related pain demonstrated decreased dynamic ankle stiffness (2.26 Nm/deg. [0.61] to 1.84 Nm/deg. [0.43]) (p = .005) and males with hip-related pain demonstrated increased dynamic hip stiffness (2.73 [0.90] to 3.88 [1.73]) (p = .013). There were no differences in dynamic stiffness at any joint between individuals with hip-related pain at either timepoint when compared to controls (p ≥ .099). INTERPRETATION: Females and males with hip-related pain may demonstrate unique changes in dynamic joint stiffness after surgery, indicating return to activity may follow different trajectories for each sex. Additional work should examine the relationship between hip joint stiffness and treatment outcomes and identify additional movement-related rehabilitation targets.

BACKGROUND: Individuals with hip-related pain (HRP) commonly report pain with walking and demonstrate altered movement patterns compared to healthy controls (HCs). Individuals with HRP may attempt to reduce pain during walking by decreasing kinetics and joint forces at the hip through increased use of the ankle during pushoff. RESEARCH QUESTION: Do individuals with HRP have increased kinetics at the ankle and decreased kinetics at the hip during pushoff in gait compared to HCs, and do kinetic patterns differ between males and females with HRP? METHODS: This retrospective observational study included 42 individuals with HRP and 20 HCs. Participants completed overground gait trials at their self-selected speed while kinematics and kinetics were recorded through a motion capture system and force plates. Peak internal hip and ankle moments and hip flexion and ankle plantarflexion angular impulse during terminal stance were used in general estimating equations for comparison of group by limb interactions for males and females separately, as well as a comparison of males and females within the HRP group. RESULTS: Females with HRP demonstrated reduced hip flexion impulse on their involved limb (.070 Nm*s/kg*m) compared to female HCs (.083Nm*s/kg*m; p = .032), as well as reduced peak ankle plantarflexion moment (-.94Nm/kg*m) compared to their contralateral limb (-.99Nm/kg*m) and the involved limb of HRP males (-1.00Nm/kg*m) (p ≤ .007). There were no between-limb or between-group differences in hip or ankle peak moments or impulses in males. SIGNIFICANCE: Females with HRP show decreased kinetics at both the hip and ankle; these patterns were not identified in males. Future investigations should examine whether increasing ankle kinetics during pushoff reduces pain at the hip, as this may be a valuable clinical treatment strategy.

Hernia disease is one of the most common reasons patients seek surgical treatment, yet nearly 1 in 4 patients seeking ventral hernia repair in the United States suffer from chronic pain, disability, and diminished physical activity. The relationships between the anterior abdominal wall, lower back, diaphragm, and pelvic floor are critical in providing function and quality of life, yet management of hernia disease has been limited to surgical restoration of anatomy without taking into consideration the functional relationships of the abdominal core. Therefore, the primary goal of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of implementing physical therapy targeted to improving stability and function in this population. A secondary goal is to estimate whether pre-operative abdominal core function predicts responsiveness to physical therapy. This study is a registry-based randomized controlled trial (NCT05142618: Pilot Trial of Abdominal Core Rehabilitation To Improve Outcomes After Ventral Hernia Repair (ABVENTURE-P)). All participants will be randomized to one of two post-operative treatment arms: standard of care plus up to 16 sessions of physical therapy, or standard of care alone. Primary timepoints include pre-operative (baseline) and ten weeks after surgery, with intermediate or secondary timepoints 30 days, 6 months, and 1 year post-operative. At each timepoint, participants will undergo functional and patient-reported outcome testing. We will also collect data on retention rate and treatment adherence. An intention to treat approach is planned for all analyses, using all participants who were randomized and have available data at the 10-week timepoint. This is a pilot and feasibility trial, hence our goals are to establish safety and initial efficacy of the PT intervention, retention and adherence to both PT and control arms, whether pre-operative abdominal core function predicts responsiveness to PT, and to collect a large enough sample to power a future definitive multi-center randomized controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this systematic review and correlation meta-analysis was to identify factors associated with kinesiophobia in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and to identify interventions that may reduce kinesiophobia in individuals with PFP. METHODS: Seven databases were searched for articles including clinical factors associated with kinesiophobia or interventions that may reduce kinesiophobia in individuals with PFP. Two reviewers screened articles for inclusion, assessed risk of bias and quality, and extracted data from each study. A mixed-effects model was used to calculate correlations of function and pain with kinesiophobia using individual participant data. Meta-analyses were performed on interventional articles; Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation was used to evaluate certainty of evidence. Results were reported narratively when pooling was not possible. RESULTS: Forty-one articles involving 2712 individuals were included. Correlation meta-analyses using individual participant data indicated a moderate association between self-reported function and kinesiophobia (n = 499; r = -0.440) and a weak association between pain and kinesiophobia (n = 644; r = 0.162). Low-certainty evidence from 2 articles indicated that passive treatment techniques were more effective than minimal intervention in reducing kinesiophobia (standardized mean difference = 1.11; 95% CI = 0.72 to 1.49). Very low-certainty evidence from 5 articles indicated that interventions to target kinesiophobia (psychobehavioral interventions, education, and self-managed exercise) were better in reducing kinesiophobia than physical therapist treatment approaches not specifically targeting kinesiophobia (standardized mean difference = 1.64; 95% CI = 0.14 to 3.15). CONCLUSION: Higher levels of kinesiophobia were moderately associated with poorer function and weakly associated with higher pain in individuals with PFP. Taping and bracing may reduce kinesiophobia immediately after use, and specific kinesiophobia-targeted interventions may reduce kinesiophobia following the full intervention; however, the certainty of evidence is very low. IMPACT: Assessment of kinesiophobia in clinical practice is recommended, on the basis of the relationships identified between kinesiophobia and other important factors that predict outcomes in individuals with PFP.

The Academy of Orthopaedic Physical Therapy (AOPT), formerly the Orthopaedic Section of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), has an ongoing effort to create evidence-based practice guidelines for orthopaedic physical therapy management of patients with musculoskeletal impairments described in the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). This is an update to the 2014 Clinical Practice Guideline (CPG) for Hip Pain and Movement Dysfunction Associated with Nonarthritic Hip Joint Pain. The goals of the revision were to provide a concise summary of the contemporary evidence since publication of the original guideline and to develop new recommendations or revise previously published recommendations to support evidence-based practice. This current CPG covers pathoanatomical features, clinical course, prognosis, diagnosis, examination, and physical therapy interventions in the management of nonarthritic hip joint pain.

OBJECTIVE: To identify subgroups of individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries based on patient characteristics, self-reported outcomes, and functional performance at baseline, and to associate subgroups with long-term outcomes after ACL rupture. METHODS: A total of 293 participants (45.7% male, mean ± SD age 26.2 ± 9.4 years, days from injury 58 ± 35) were enrolled after effusion, pain, and range of motion impairments were resolved and quadriceps strength was at least 70% of the uninvolved limb. Mixture modeling was used to uncover latent subgroups without a prior group classification using probabilistic assignment. Variables include demographics, functional testing, and self-reported outcome measures. Radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis (OA; i.e., Kellgren/Lawrence grade of ≥1) in the involved knee at 5 years after injury was the primary outcome of interest. Chi-square tests assessed differences in the presence of radiographic OA in the involved knee between subgroups at 5 years after ACL rupture. Secondary outcomes of interest included radiographic OA in the uninvolved knee, return to preinjury sport by 2 years, operative status, and clinical OA (classified using Luyten et al criteria) at 5 years. RESULTS: Four distinct subgroups exist after ACL rupture (younger good self-report, younger poor self-report, older poor self-report, older good self-report) with 30%, 31%, 47%, and 53%, respectively, having involved knee OA. The percentage of radiographic OA was not significantly different between the groups (P = 0.059). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of OA in all subgroups is highly concerning. These results suggest there are unique subgroupings of individuals that may guide treatment after ACL rupture and reconstruction by providing support for developing a patient-centered approach.

BACKGROUND: Hip-related pain describes femoroacetabular impingement syndrome, acetabular dysplasia, and other hip pain conditions without clear morphological features. Movement strategies in this population, notably sex-related patterns, are poorly understood and may provide insights into why females report more pain and worse function. This study examined the sex-related differences during a drop vertical jump task between those with hip-related pain and healthy controls. METHODS: Patients with hip-related pain and healthy controls completed five repetitions of a drop jump while their kinematics and kinetics were recorded using a motion capture system and force plates. Hip, knee, and ankle joint angles and external joint moments during landing were used in general estimating equations for comparison of group by sex by limb interactions. Time series data were further investigated using statistical parametric mapping. FINDINGS: Females with hip-related pain had 9.1° less hip flexion (P = .041) and 9.2° less knee flexion (P = .024) than healthy females, and 8.3° less knee flexion than male counterparts with hip-related pain (P = .039). Males demonstrated 1.4° less hip flexion on the affected side compared to their uninvolved side (P = .004). Statistical parametric mapping results showed significant differences in knee flexion angle for females with hip-related pain compared to healthy females (P = .042). There were no significant differences in hip, knee, or ankle moments. INTERPRETATION: Females with hip-related pain showed kinematic patterns distinct from healthy controls. Sex may be an important variable of interest in characterizing movement impairments in this population and movement impairments may be an appropriate target for intervention for these patients.

Kinematic and kinetic changes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and reconstruction (ACLR) have been fundamental to the understanding of mechanical disrupted load as it contributes to the development of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. These analyses overlook the potential contribution of muscle activity as it relates to the joint loading environment. Males and females classified as non-copers present with unique knee kinematics and kinetics after ACL injury. The purpose of this study was to perform sex-specific analyses in these individuals to explore muscle activity timing during gait after ACL rupture. Thirty-nine participants (12 females, 27 males) were enrolled. Muscle activity during gait was evaluated before and after pre-operative physical therapy, and six months after ACLR. Surface electromyography data were evaluated to determine timing (e.g., the time the muscle activity begins ('On') and ends ('Off')) for seven muscles: vastus lateralis and medialis (VL, VM), lateral and medial hamstrings (LH, MH), lateral and medial gastrocnemius (LG, MG), and soleus (SOL). General linear models with generalized estimating equations detected the effects of limb and time for muscle activity timing. Males presented with more limb asymmetries before and after pre-operative PT in the VL On (p < 0.001) and Off (p = 0.007), VM On and Off (p < 0.001), and MH off (p < 0.001), but all limb differences resolved by six months post ACLR. Changes in muscle activity in males were pervasive over time in both limbs. Females presented with no interlimb differences pre-operatively, and only involved limb VL off (p = 0.027) and VM off (p = 0.003) and the LH off in both limbs (p < 0.038) changed over time. Our data indicate that inter-limb differences in muscle activity across time points and changes in muscle activity timing over the course of physical therapy were sex specific. Males presented with more inter-limb differences in muscle activity across time points, and females presented with fewer asymmetries before and after pre-operative physical therapy. These data support that sex-specific adaptations should be taken into consideration when assessing biomechanical changes after ACLR.

BACKGROUND: The abdominal core is comprised of the diaphragm, abdominal wall, and pelvic floor, and serves several important functions for balance, movement, and strength. Injury to this area, such as hernia, can have substantial impact. The Quiet Unstable Sitting Test involves individuals seated on the rounded surface of a BOSU® balance trainer placed on top of a force plate and situated on a flat, elevated surface. METHODS: An ordinal Quiet Unstable Sitting Test core stability score was calculated from center of pressure measurements, with 0 representing "normal" and < 0 indicating worsening stability. Hernia-Related Quality of Life survey summary scores were assessed (higher scores indicating better quality). FINDINGS: A developmental cohort of 32 was used to establish reliability and normative values for the Quiet Unstable Sitting Test. A control group of 32 participants (43.7 ± 16.2 yrs., BMI 29.0 ± 4.9, 66% Female) was then compared to 21 patients with hernia (56.2 ± 12.5 yrs., BMI 29.2 ± 6.3, 24% Female). Hernia patients had median composite score of -2 and median quality of life score of 66, versus median Quiet Unstable Sitting Test of -0.5 and median quality of life of 93 for controls (p ≤ 0.01). Quality of life and Quiet Unstable Sitting Test scores were not correlated (p > 0.05). INTERPRETATION: Hernia patients demonstrated significantly worse core stability and quality of life. These assessments were independent of one another across the entire population, indicating each measure's unique constructs of patient function. Core stability can be reliably measured in a clinical setting and may help with patient activation and rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) has been associated with worse hip function for persons with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Reports are limited to surgical populations and based on the presence or absence of LBP, regardless of pain severity. OBJECTIVES: To report the prevalence of clinically significant LBP for persons with FAIS; compare demographics, pain, and function between those with and without clinically significant LBP; and evaluate relationships between hip function and both LBP-related disability and LBP severity. We hypothesized that participants with LBP would be older, have higher body mass index (BMI), and report worse groin pain, longer symptom duration, and worse hip function. We hypothesized that worse LBP-related disability and LBP severity would be related to worse hip function. DESIGN: Observational cross-sectional study. SETTING: Hip preservation clinic. PARTICIPANTS: 158 persons with FAIS. INTERVENTIONS: n/a MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Visual analog pain scales (VAS 0-100) were used to categorize participants with (≥30) and without (<30) clinically significant LBP. Age, sex, BMI, pain severity and duration, and hip function (33-item Hip Outcome Tool [iHOT33]) were compared between those with and without clinically significant LBP. Correlations were evaluated between the modified Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and iHOT33, ODI and groin pain severity, LBP severity and iHOT33, and LBP and groin pain severity. RESULTS: Sixty percent of participants reported clinically significant LBP (n = 95). These participants reported worse iHOT33 scores (mean difference: 10.1 points) than those without clinically significant LBP (p = .001). Worse ODI scores were associated with worse iHOT33 scores (P < .001; ρ = -0.74). Significant relationships were also observed between (1) ODI and groin pain, (2) LBP and iHOT33, and (3) LBP and groin pain, but the magnitudes of these correlations were weak (ρ ≤ 0.36). CONCLUSIONS: Clinically significant LBP is highly prevalent in persons with FAIS and is associated with worse hip function. Worse LBP-related disability, but not LBP severity, was strongly associated with worse hip function.

BACKGROUND: Physical therapy and hip arthroscopy are two viable treatment options for patients with nonarthritic hip pain (NAHP); however, patients may experience considerable decisional conflict when making a treatment decision. Interdisciplinary evaluation with a physical therapist and surgeon may better inform the decision-making process and reduce decisional conflict. OBJECTIVE: To identify the extent to which an interdisciplinary evaluation between a surgeon, physical therapist, and patient influences treatment plans and decisional conflict of persons with NAHP. DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Hip preservation clinic. PARTICIPANTS: Adults with primary NAHP. INTERVENTIONS: Participants were randomized to receive a standard (surgeon) or interdisciplinary (surgeon+physical therapist) evaluation. Surgeon evaluations included patient interview, strength and range-of-motion examination, palpation, gross motor observation, and special testing. Interdisciplinary evaluations started with the surgeon evaluation, then a physical therapist evaluated movement impairments during sitting, sit-to-stand, standing, single-leg stance, single-leg squat, and walking. All evaluations concluded with treatment planning with the respective provider(s). OUTCOME MEASURES: Treatment plan and decisional conflict were collected pre- and postevaluation. Inclusion of physical therapy in participants' postevaluation treatment plans and postevaluation decisional conflict were compared between groups using chi-square tests and Mann-Whitney U tests, respectively. RESULTS: Seventy-eight participants (39 in each group) met all eligibility criteria and were included in all analyses. Sixty-six percent of participants who received an interdisciplinary evaluation included physical therapy in their postevaluation treatment plan, compared to 48% of participants who received a standard evaluation (p = .10). Participants who received an interdisciplinary evaluation reported 6.3 points lower decisional conflict regarding their postevaluation plan (100-point scale; p = .04). The interdisciplinary and standard groups reduced decisional conflict on average 24.8 ± 18.9 and 23.6 ± 14.6 points, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Adding a physical therapist to a surgical clinic increased interest in physical therapy treatment, but this increase was not statistically significant. The interdisciplinary group displayed lower postevaluation decisional conflict; however, both groups displayed similar reductions in decisional conflict from pre- to postevaluation. This study also demonstrated the feasibility of an interdisciplinary evaluation in a hip preservation clinic.

CONTEXT: Low mental health scores, depression, and anxiety are associated with worse pain and functional outcomes after hip arthroscopy for patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Preoperative screening of psychosocial factors such as self-efficacy, kinesiophobia, and pain catastrophizing may further aid in identifying patients at risk for poorer outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To compare preoperative function and psychosocial factors between patients with and those without elevated postoperative pain 3 months after hip arthroscopy for FAIS. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: University health center. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-one individuals with FAIS (41 women, 10 men; age = 37.6 ± 12.3 years, body mass index = 27.1 ± 4.1 kg/m2). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Preoperatively, participants completed the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), 12-Item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) for hip pain at rest and during activity. Three months postoperatively, they completed the PSEQ, TSK, PCS, iHOT-12, and VAS. Preoperative scores were compared between those with (VAS ≥ 3) and those without (VAS < 3) elevated postoperative pain using Mann-Whitney U tests, and odds ratios were calculated to determine the odds of having elevated postoperative pain and lower postoperative function. RESULTS: Participants with elevated postoperative pain at rest and during activity had worse preoperative psychosocial health (P ≤ .04). Those with elevated postoperative pain at rest had worse preoperative function (P < .001). The odds of having elevated postoperative pain at rest were 45 times and 4.5 times higher for those with low self-efficacy and high pain catastrophizing, respectively (P values ≤ .03). The odds of having elevated postoperative pain during activity were 7.1, 6.2, and 3.5 times higher for those with low self-efficacy, high kinesiophobia, and high pain catastrophizing, respectively (P values ≤ .04). The odds of having lower postoperative iHOT-12 scores were 7.5 and 14.0 times higher for those with high kinesiophobia and pain catastrophizing, respectively (P values ≤ .03). CONCLUSIONS: Poor preoperative psychosocial health increased the odds of elevated pain and worse function 3 months after hip arthroscopy for FAIS. This is a first step in identifying the psychosocial factors that may contribute to poorer long-term hip arthroscopy outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to describe movement impairments for persons with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome and their association with function, treatment recommendations, and treatment plans. METHODS: This report is a secondary, observational analysis of a clinical trial dataset in which participants received an interdisciplinary evaluation from a surgeon and physical therapist. The therapist documented frontal and sagittal plane movement impairments across 6 functional tasks. Associations between number of impairments in each plane and function (33-item International Hip Outcome Tool [iHOT33]) were evaluated using Pearson or Spearman correlations. Joint provider recommendations (physical therapist and surgeon) and participant-reported treatment plans were dichotomized based on the inclusion of physical therapy or not. Logistic regressions were used to examine the effects of (1) iHOT33, total movement impairments, and previous physical therapist treatment on joint provider recommendation and (2) these same variables along with joint provider recommendation on participant treatment plan; prevalence ratios and 95% CIs were reported for significant contributors. RESULTS: Thirty-nine participants demonstrated an average iHOT33 of 35.0 (SD = 19.5) and presented with a median 5 frontal and 3 sagittal plane impairments. More frontal plane impairments were associated with worse iHOT33 scores. Twenty-seven participants received a joint provider recommendation that included physical therapy; no significant contributors to these recommendations were identified. Twenty-four of the 27 participants with a physical therapist recommendation included physical therapy in their treatment plan. Two additional participants did not receive a physical therapist recommendation but included physical therapy in their plan. Joint provider recommendation was the only significant contributor to the participant-reported plan (prevalence ratio = 7.06; 95% CI = 3.25-7.97). CONCLUSION: Persons with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome displayed clinically observable movement impairments that were associated with worse function. Joint provider recommendations strongly influenced participants' treatment plans to pursue physical therapy. IMPACT: Physical therapists contribute new information to surgical examinations regarding movement. Joint recommendations from the physical therapist and the surgeon can influence patients' decisions to pursue physical therapy.

BACKGROUND: An increasing body of information suggests that preoperative physical activity level can impact postoperative outcomes. We sought to investigate this relationship in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair (VHR). METHODS: The Abdominal Core Health Quality Collaborative registry was used to identify patients undergoing a VHR between 2013 and 2019. Patient-reported preoperative exercise level was used to stratify the study population into 4 groups: none (no reported exercise), sporadic (once a month), moderate (once per week), and intense (more than once per week). Multi-variate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the impact of preoperative exercise frequency on postoperative outcomes, including complications, hospital readmissions and length of stay. Changes in quality of life and pain from baseline to 30-days postoperatively were assessed using the Hernia-Related Quality of Life Survey and National Institutes of Health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 3A Pain Scale. RESULTS: A total of 2,994 patients were included in the study, out of which 1,519 (50.7%) patients reported no preoperative exercise, 662 (22.1%) sporadic exercise, 467 (15.6%) moderate exercise, and 346 (11.6%) intense exercise. A total of 1,253 patients (19.2%) experienced a postoperative complication, out of which 249 (3.8%) had a surgical site infection. After multi-variable analysis and adjusting for demographics, comorbidities, and hernia characteristics, increasing exercise frequency (versus no reported exercise) was associated with significantly lower odds of experiencing any postoperative complication (sporadic: odds ratio 0.70; P = .008; moderate: odds ratio 0.62, P = .006; intense: odds ratio 0.67, P = .04), as well as lower odds of readmission (sporadic: odds ratio 0.04; moderate: odds ratio 0.40; intense: odds ratio 0.03; P = .01). Exercise level was not associated with length of stay (sporadic: P = .36; moderate: P = .19; intense: P = .95). No significant differences were found in changes in quality of life or pain from baseline to 30-days after surgery (Hernia-Related Quality of Life Survey, P = .24; National Institutes of Health Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 3A P = .14). CONCLUSION: Patients reporting greater exercise frequency before surgery demonstrated decreased risk of complications and readmission after undergoing ventral hernia repair. Increasing preoperative exercise participation through targeted prehabilitation programs may be a viable way for patients to reduce complications associated with VHR and improve their postoperative recovery.

CONTEXT: Low mental health scores, depression, and anxiety are associated with worse pain and functional outcomes following hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Pre-operative screening of psychosocial factors such as pain catastrophizing, self-efficacy, and kinesiophobia may further aid in identifying patients at-risk for poorer outcomes. OBJECTIVE: Compare pre-operative function and psychosocial factors between patients with and without elevated post-operative pain three-months following hip arthroscopy for FAIS. DESIGN: Prospective cohort Setting: University health center Participants: 51 individuals with FAIS (41F/10M; age:37.6±12.3years; BMI:27.1±4.1kg/m2) Outcome measures: Pre-operatively participants completed the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), 12-Item International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS) for hip pain at rest and during activity. Three-months post-operatively, participants completed the PSEQ, TSK, PCS, iHOT-12 and VAS. Pre-operative scores were compared between those with (VAS≥3) and without (VAS<3) elevated post-operative pain using Mann-Whitney U tests, and odds ratios were calculated to determine the odds of having elevated post-operative pain and lower post-operative function. RESULTS: Participants with elevated post-operative pain at rest and during activity had worse pre-operative psychosocial health (p≤0.04). Those with elevated pain at rest had worse pre-operative function (p≤0.001). The odds of having elevated post-operative pain at rest were 45 times and 4.5 times higher for those with low self-efficacy and high pain catastrophizing (p≤.03).
