Feasibility of an eight-week dance-based exercise program and its effects on locomotor ability of persons with functional class III rheumatoid arthritis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The main objectives of this experimental case series were to evaluate the feasibility of a modified dance-based exercise program with low ground impacts in persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) functional class III and to describe its effects on locomotor ability. The relationship between 3 locomotor tests and their responsiveness also were addressed. METHODS: Ten female subjects participated in an 8-week exercise program. Locomotor ability was measured before and after the program using the 50-foot test of walking time, the 6-minute test of walking distance, and the locomotion biomechanical analysis. RESULTS: All subjects showed a high compliance (92.5% presence at sessions) over the 8 weeks of exercise without any aggravation in disease status. They were able to train efficiently at moderate intensity up to 25 minutes. Significant improvements were found in locomotor ability, with a higher responsiveness measured by the locomotion biomechanical analysis, followed by the 6-minute gait test and the 50-foot gait test. Inconsistent relationships between tests suggested that different locomotor abilities are required during tests. CONCLUSION: These results support the feasibility of a modified dance-based exercise program for persons with severe RA. With high levels of responsiveness, the detailed biomechanical analysis and the 6-minute gait test are recommended for the assessment of locomotor ability.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
