Abstract

Evaluating responsiveness has an important role in design and interpretation of the interventional studies. The aim was to estimate the responsiveness and minimally important difference (MID) of postural performance measures following balance rehabilitation in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS, n = 38). Postural measures were evaluated at baseline and after 4 weeks intervention. Laboratory-based measures were center of pressure parameters. Clinically-based measures were Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Functional Gait Assessment (FGA); and walking measures 2 Minute Walk (2 MW), 10 Meter Timed Walk (10 MTW) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) performed under single and dual-task conditions. To evaluate responsiveness, we calculated the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) and the Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC). The optimal values for the MID were the cutoffs corresponding to the upper left corner of the ROC curve. The AUCs for mean and standard deviation of sway velocity were above the cutoff of 0.50 in most conditions. For the clinically-based measures, the highest AUCs were found for the ABC, and cognitive-2MW, followed by the BBS and 10 MTW. In this preliminary study, the most appropriate postural performance measures and the MID values for detecting meaningful changes in MS undergoing balance rehabilitation have been provided.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 June 2017.
All research outputs
#20,660,571
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies
#1,209
of 1,527 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#244,553
of 317,360 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Bodywork & Movement Therapies
#46
of 53 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,527 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.5. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,360 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 53 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
