Description
Summary:Daviet J-C, Preux P-M, Rebeyrotte I, Lacroix P, Dudognon P, Munoz M, Salle J-Y. Reliability of transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement on the back of the hand and complex regional pain syndrome after stroke. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2004;85:1102–5. To verify the reproducibility of measurement of transcutaneous oxygen tension (TcP o 2) on the back of the hand in control subjects and stroke patients in the assessment of the complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS I). Case series study. Physical medicine and rehabilitation department at a university hospital. Eighteen control subjects, 30 stroke patients without CRPS I, and 12 stroke patients with CRPS I. Not applicable. TcP o 2 was measured on the back of hands on 2 consecutive days using a polarographic technique. The reproducibility was evaluated by using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and the coefficient of variation. In the controls, the values of TcP o 2 were not reproducible, with an ICC of .51 (95% confidence interval [CI], .23–.72). Similarly, in the hemiplegics with and without CRPS I, TcP o 2 was not reproducible, with an ICC of .43 (95% CI, −.15 to .74) and .69 (95% CI, .45–.84), respectively. The differences between the 2 upper limbs were even less reproducible in each population. Measurement of TcP o 2 on the hand using our procedure did not seem to be sufficiently reproducible for application to a pathology such as CRPS I.
