The Effect of an Individualized Education Intervention versus Usual Care on Pain following Ambulatory Inguinal Hernia Repair

Sawhney, Monakshi 19 December 2012 (has links)
Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is a common ambulatory surgery procedure performed in Canada, after which many patients experience moderate to severe pain. Limited research has been found that examines interventions to reduce pain following ambulatory surgery, and none specifically for patients undergoing IHR. This trial evaluated the effectiveness of an individualized Hernia Repair Education Intervention (HREI) for patients following this ambulatory surgery. Participants (N= 82) were randomized to either the intervention or usual care group pre-operatively in the pre-admission clinic. The HREI included a booklet about managing pain and face-to-face session to discuss its content, and two telephone support calls (before surgery and 24 hours after surgery). The primary outcome was WORST 24 hour pain intensity on movement on post-operative day 2. Secondary outcomes included pain intensity at rest and movement, pain–related interference with activities, pain quality, analgesics taken, and adverse effects at post-operative days 2 and 7. At day 2, the intervention group reported significantly lower scores for all pain intensity outcomes, including WORST 24hr pain on movement (t (df) = 4.7 (73), p< 0.001), WORST 24 hr pain at rest (t (df) = 3.8 (73), p < 0.001), pain NOW at rest (t (df) = 3.3 (73), p = 0.001) and on movement (t (df) = 3.4 (73), p = 0.001). Also on day 2, pain-related interference scores for the intervention group were lower than the usual care group but not significantly different with the bonferroini correction (t (df) = 2.1 (73), p=0.04). The intervention group took significantly fewer opioids on day 2 (t (df) = 3.0 (73), p=0.004). Although there were no differences in any of the pain or interference outcomes on day 7, 36% (n=26) of the total sample reported moderate-severe pain at day 7. Constipation was the adverse effect identified most often, by both groups, on both days 2 and 7.This intervention was effective at post-operative day 2 but revisions need to be made to the intervention to assess for outcomes over a longer period of time.

Development and Evaluation of the iWalker: An Instrumented Rolling Walker to Assess Balance and Mobility in Everyday Activities

Tung, James 01 September 2010 (has links)
The rollator is a mobility aid commonly used to facilitate balance and mobility for individuals with cardiorespiratory, musculoskeletal, or neurological deficits. Despite its popularity, there are also reports of adverse effects related to walker use linked to increased fall risks. Studies examining the effectiveness and consequences of rollator use have employed standard laboratory-based measurement methods that rely on performing specific tasks within a short time period and under controlled conditions, potentially limiting generalization to mobility in the everyday context. An instrumented rolling walker (iWalker) was developed as an ambulatory measurement tool applicable to the assessment of balance outside of the lab or clinic for assistive device users. The iWalker autonomously collects measurements of the upper and lower limb behaviour related to balance, walker kinematics, and video of the immediate spatial environment. The design and development of the iWalker is first described, followed by two studies characterizing the involvement of the upper limbs for balance in standing and walking that served to address gaps in the literature and evaluate the utility of the upper limb measures. Overall, the upper limbs can become the primary effectors of balancing forces when lower limb capabilities are compromised. When lower limb involvement was experimentally constrained, the upper limbs became the primary effectors of balance control in healthy, young adults. In older adults, individuals demonstrating the highest upper limb usage during walking were associated with the largest reduction in frontal plane stepping parameters (i.e., step width). A third study evaluated the applicability of the iWalker to assess everyday mobility in a series of in-patients recovering from neurological injury (i.e., stroke, traumatic brain injury). Patients demonstrated significantly different upper limb balancing behaviour in everyday situations compared to in-laboratory assessments. Furthermore, the iWalker captured behaviours that may be precursors to falling, such as collisions, stumbling and lifting the assistive device. The implications of these studies on assessing the effectiveness of rollators and feasibility of using the iWalker in follow-up efforts are discussed.
