Abstract Background To assess responsiveness of five outcome measures at four different follow-ups in patients with SLAP II lesions the shoulder. Methods 119 symptoms and signs, MRI arthrography arthroscopic findings were included. The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), Oxford Score (OISS), EuroQol (EQ-5D3L), Rowe Constant-Murley (CMS) assessed baseline, 3, 6, 12 24 months. anal...

CONTEXT The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is commonly used to assess pain. Change in the NPRS across time can be interpreted with responsiveness indices. OBJECTIVE To determine the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) of the NPRS. DESIGN Single-group repeated measures. SETTING Outpatient rehabilitation clinics. PATIENTS Patients with shoulder pain (N = 136). MAIN OUTCOME ...

We wished to determine whether the refractory period after hypertonic saline (HS) challenge is due to mast cell mediator depletion. Therefore, the airway responsiveness to adenosine 5' monophosphate (AMP), which induces bronchoconstriction via mast cell histamine release, was determined after the inhalation of HS aerosol. Nine asthmatic subjects attended the laboratory on three occasions. On da...

BACKGROUND Bronchial responsiveness is known to be related to atopy, but the relative contribution of sensitisation to individual allergens in the UK, or whether serum total IgE is an independent risk factor, is unknown. METHODS A random sample of 1864 men and women aged 20-44 years, drawn from family health service registers in Cambridge, Ipswich and Norwich, was invited to answer a detailed...

The ability of topical timolol and epinephrine to decrease the 0-adrenergic responsiveness of the cornea and iris-ciliary body of albino and pigmented rabbits is reported. The time course of the decrease in responsiveness was determined by comparing in vitro, /?-adrenergic stimulated cyclic AMP synthesis in these tissues from in vivo drug treated and contralateral, untreated eyes. In the cornea...

BACKGROUND Disease-specific health status measures are characterized by higher responsiveness than generic measures and may be preferred in clinical trials. However, comparisons of responsiveness between various disease-specific measures have rarely been performed in asthma studies. STUDY OBJECTIVE We investigated and compared the responsiveness of health status scores in asthmatic patients d...

Background:The main goal of physiotherapy for patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) is to improve postural control and retain knee function. Therefore, clinicians need to use evaluative tools that assess postural changes during physiotherapy. To maximize the clinical utility of the results of these tools, the extracted measures should have appropriate psychometric prop...
