A patient-centered qualitative evaluation of meaningful change on the NSAA and PUL in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by Aviva Gillman, Teofil Ciobanu, Louise Barrett, Evan W. Davies, Alexander P. Murphy, Alex Johnson, Jessica Mills, Phoebe Heinrich, Krystian Przydzial, Bethany Ewens, Gerrit Vandenberg, Stefan Cano, Anna Mayhew

“…There is limited published qualitative evidence on what constitutes a meaningful change on either instrument. The aim of this study is to understand meaningful change in functional abilities as measured by the NSAA and PUL at different ability levels from the perspective of individuals with DMD, caregivers of individuals with DMD, and clinicians.MethodsThe study utilized a non-interventional, descriptive, cross-sectional qualitative design consisting of 69 semi-structured interviews, including individuals with DMD (n = 18), caregivers of individuals with DMD (n = 51), and neuromuscular physiotherapists (n = 2) to understand meaningful change on the NSAA and PUL.ResultsThe results for both instruments indicated that: (i) items that are meaningful differ based on ability level; (ii) maintaining function in lower and upper limbs is the ultimate goal; (iii) meaningful change is often reported in relation to gain or loss of specific function, as opposed to number of total points on the scale; and (iv) losing one scale point corresponds to either a partial or full loss in function and activity, which has differing impacts on daily life.ConclusionThe perception of meaningful change in DMD as measured by the NSAA is influenced by ability levels and ambulatory function, with participants describing their need to maximize certain abilities, maintain function, and retain independence. …”

Influence of Wheel-Rail Contact Point Changes on Force-Measuring Wheelset Measurement and the Compensation Method by CHEN Chunjun, DENG Qian

“…The validity of the wheel-rail force measurement compensation scheme considering wheel-rail contact point position changes is verified through simulation analysis. ［Result & Conclusion］After adding the U.S Grade V track irregularity spectrum excitation, the maximum offset of the wheel-rail contact point position is 17.53 mm, and the maximum relative error of the vertical force reaches 22.85%; after adopting the proposed measuring compensation method, the maximum relative error of the wheel-rail vertical force decreases to 8.02%, and the measurement accuracy is significantly improved. …”
