The purpose of this study was to develop the scoring system for the Seating and Mobility Script Concordance Test (SMSCT), obtain and appraise internal and external structure evidence, and assess the validity of the SMSCT. The SMSCT purpose is to provide a method for testing knowledge of seating and mobility prescription. A sample of 106 therapists and 15 spinal cord injury experts contributed to the development of the scoring system. Validity evidence was obtained using 15 seating and mobility experts, 10 orthopedic experts, and 66 therapists with varying levels of seating and mobility expertise. Proxy measures of clinical expertise were used for external validity evidence since no criterion measures exist. The SMSCT was found to differentiate between seating and mobility experts' and orthopedic experts' intervention subtest scores (p = 0.04). The proxy measure of clinical expertise, seating and mobility hours/week, was found to predict SMSCT intervention scores (p = 0.002). The internal structure of the SMSCT may include evidence of reduced item performance but satisfactory convergent and discriminate evidence by construct definition. Although the SMSCT may be a promising approach for measuring seating and mobility expertise, limitations exist in the corrected content. Future application of the SMSCT should only be used after further development of the tool occurs.

Change in spinopelvic mobility 3 months after THA using a direct anterior approach.
Orthop Traumatol Surg Res
January 2025
Orthopaedic Department, Croix St Simon Hospital 125 rue d'Avron, 75020 Paris, France.
Introduction: Spinopelvic kinematics, reflected by the change in spinopelvic tilt (ΔSPT) from a standing position to a flexed seated position, has been associated with the risk of prosthetic impingement and hip dislocation. Some studies have suggested changes in spinopelvic mobility after total hip arthroplasty (THA), but none have explored changes in mobility in the first three months following THA using a direct anterior approach.
Hypothesis: Our hypothesis was that changes in spinopelvic mobility occur in the first 3 months postoperatively, leading to increased hip mobility and increased spinopelvic kinematic abnormalities.
Validity and Reliability of Kinovea for Pelvic Kinematic Measurement in Standing Position and in Sitting Position with 45° of Hip Flexion.

The anatomy of the pelvis may obscure differences in pelvic tilt, potentially underestimating its correlation with clinical measures. Measuring the total sagittal range of pelvic movement can serve as a reliable indicator of pelvic function. This study assessed the inter- and intra-examiner reliability of the Kinovea version 0.

Clin Orthop Relat Res

Naval Medical Center San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a well-recognized cause of hip pain in adults. The hip-spine relationship between the femur, pelvis, and lumbosacral spine has garnered recent attention in hip arthroplasty. However, the hip-spine relationship has not been well described in patients with FAI.

Department of Orthopaedics, Kyoto City Hospital, Kyoto, Japan.
Aims: Overall sagittal flexion is restricted in patients who have undergone both lumbar fusion and total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, it is not evident to what extent this movement is restricted in these patients and how this influences quality of life (QoL). The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which hip-lumbar mobility is decreased in these patients, and how this affects their QoL score.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a treatment option for osteoarthritis of the knee. After undergoing TKA, patients can be treated with continuous passive motion (CPM); however, inconsistent results have been reported on the effectiveness of CPM as part of a rehabilitation strategy. This discrepancy may be due to the difference between the set-arc of CPM and real arcs of knee motion.
