Lower-extremity Dynamometry as a Novel Outcome Measure in a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Feasibility Trial of Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) for HIV-associated Myelopathy
Conclusion: We conclude that an adequately powered clinical trial of IVIG for HIVM would likely require a prolonged recruitment period and multiple participating sites. Lower limb dynamometry is a useful outcome measure for HIVM, which might also be useful in other HIV-related gait disorders. KEYWORDS: Dynamometry, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), myelopathy INTRODUCTION Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated myelopathy (HIVM) is a rare but well-described neurologic complication of HIV; it was first described early in the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic, and i...

The Acute Care Physical Therapy HIV/AIDS Patient Population: A Descriptive Study
This study was based on an analysis of an existing database compiled from 475 medical records of people living with HIV/AIDS admitted to an acute-care hospital in New York City in 2004. The characteristics of patients with HIV infection that received physical therapy were determined. Differences between patients with HIV infection that did and did not receive physical therapy, as well as predictors of receipt of physical therapy, were identified. The physical therapy subgroup (n = 69) had a mean age of 48.3 years, consisted of more men than women, and was predominately black, with public health insurance. Admissions were c...

Where and how does physical therapy fit? Integrating physical therapy into interprofessional HIV care.
CONCLUSION: The role of physical therapy in HIV is multidimensional and client-centered. This Framework can be used by rehabilitation professionals working with people living with HIV. Implications for Rehabilitation Participants living with HIV in this study experienced physical therapy as a means of addressing rehabilitation goals that positively influenced physical health and social participation. The role of physical therapy in HIV care is multidimensional and client-centered and can address health challenges in physical, social and psychological health domains. The presence and interaction of contextual factors includ...

Effects of Exercise Interventions on Aerobic Capacity and Health-Related Quality of Life in People Living With Hiv/Aids: Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The combined aerobic and resistance exercise was the highest ranked exercise intervention to improve peak VO2 and HRQoL. Combined aerobic and resistance exercise should be considered as a component of care for people living with HIV/AIDS.PMID:33704496 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzab092

Quality of Life and Self-Reported Lower Extremity Function in Adults with HIV-related Distal Sensory Polyneuropathy.
CONCLUSION: QOL and function are more impaired in individuals with HIV disease with DSP. The LLFI was more likely to capture limitation in function than the LEFS. Patients with DSP reported more frequent use of pain management resources. PMID: 24853912 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Self-Reported Disability in Persons With HIV-Related Neuropathy Is Mediated by Pain Interference and Depression.
CONCLUSIONS: In this sample of people with HIV, those with lower extremity peripheral neuropathy reported more severe disability, worse pain, and more depression symptoms than those without neuropathy. The relationship between peripheral neuropathy and disability may be mediated though pain interference and depression. IMPACT: Distal sensory polyneuropathy is a common comorbidity experienced by people living with HIV and frequently causes pain. This study can help providers direct care toward lessening disability experienced among people with HIV and peripheral neuropathy by targeting interventions for treatment of pa...

HIV Neuropathy–Associated Foot Drop, a Presenting Sign of HIV Infection, Resolving After Initiation of Antiretroviral Therapy: A Clinical Vignette
Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most frequent complaints in patients with HIV. Many complex syndromes exist, with the etiology being secondary to the disease process itself, antiretroviral medication, or immune reconstitution. However, isolated mononeuropathy is rare. In this case, we present a previously healthy man who complained of several months of worsening right foot drop that did not improve with physical therapy or lifestyle interventions. He had begun to use an solid ankle-foot orthotic on this right lower limb to minimize tripping and prevent falls. He had no other neuromuscular involvement or constitutional ...

A comparison of patient, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) to a new, alternative clinical question framework for search skills, search results, and self-efficacy: a randomized controlled trial.
Conclusion: When taught in an information literacy session, the new, alternative framework is as effective as PICO when assessing OT and PT students' searching skills. Librarian-led workshops using either question formulation framework led to an increase in information literacy self-efficacy post-instruction. PMID: 32256230 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Lived Experience of Managing HIV and Chronic Pain: Qualitative Interviews with Patients and Healthcare Providers
AbstractPeople living with HIV (PLWH) experience higher rates of comorbid chronic pain conditions compared to the general population. Managing HIV and chronic pain, two stigmatized health conditions, can exacerbate physical and psychological suffering. The current qualitative study was designed to increase our understanding of the experience of living with HIV and chronic pain. Twenty participants were recruited from a hospital-based immunology center to participate in individual in-depth qualitative interviews. The interviews focused on the experience of living with (or managing) chronic pain for PLWH. All interviews were...

Integrating Early Palliative Care for Patients With HIV: Provider and Patient Perceptions of Symptoms and Need for Services.
Abstract Increasingly clinicians are using palliative care to address the symptomatic and psychosocial effects of disease often missed by routine clinical care, termed "early" palliative care. Within an inner-city medical center, we began a program to integrate early palliative care into HIV inpatient care. Patient symptom burden and desired services were assessed and compared to provider perceptions of patient's needs. From 2010-2012, 10 patients, with a median CD4+ T-cell count of 32.5 cells/μL, and 34 providers completed the survey. Providers ranked their patients' fatigue, sadness, anxiety, sexual dysfunction...

Pharmacologic and Non-Pharmacologic Treatments for Chronic Pain Used by Patients with Pain, HIV, and Depression
The objective of this study was to understand pain treatment utilization, perceived efficacy, and differences in utilization by gender, clinic site, chronicity of pain, pain severity, and depression severity among people living with HIV (PLWH), chronic pain, and elevated depression symptoms. Participants included 187 PLWH at three HIV clinics in the U.S. Overall, 85% of participants reported taking a pain medication. One quarter (25%) reported non-pharmacological professional treatments for pain (e.g., massage, physical therapy), 60% reported mind –body treatments, including exercise, meditation, and yoga, and 62% report...
