Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of online self-management program and on-site task-related training for people with early stage Parkinson's disease. people with early stage of Parkinson's disease (age range: 45-70 years) will be randomly assigned into the following three groups: control group, online self-management program group and on-site task-related training group.The control group will receive no treatment during the experimental period. For the other two groups, participants will receive the intervention twice a week, one hour per session and 12 sessions in total. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. the potential impact of motor and non-motor symptoms on activity participation and quality of life for people with early stage of Parkinson's disease (PD). 2. compare and examine the the effectiveness of online self-management program and on-site task-related training for people with early stage Parkinson's disease on activity participation and quality of life.
This study is entitled Quality of Life for Carers through a Person-Centred Technological Solution, whose acronym is TechQoL4Carers. The goal of this pilot study is to develop an innovative technological solution (TechQoL4Carers) to improve the Quality of Life (QoL), occupational balance, impact of care, self-management of health, and empowerment of informal caregivers of older people or people with disability. The main question it aims to answer is: Will the routine use of TechQoL4Carers platform have a positive impact on the daily life of informal caregivers? The study will examine these variables in a specific way: QoL, impact of care and burden, occupational balance, health self-management, and empowerment. Informal caregivers will participate in a participatory process of development, testing and validation of the technological platform TechQoL4Carers. At the beginning and end of the study, participants will be asked to answer questionnaires to capture their perspective on the central variables of the study and on the utility and usability of the technology. Then, for three months, participants will: - use TechQoL4Carers platform on their mobile phone or computer, - wear the Xiaomi Smart Band 7/8, - provide weekly reports of health and care related quality of life, - and receive personalized recommendations and training materials. At the end, they will also participate in an in-depth interview on the impact of the project on their daily activities.
The study aims to determine the benefits of a web-based documentation and advice for elderly people and their caregivers. It is a randomized controlled trial with two arms (intervention, control). While the participants will be supported by a web-based application within the intervention, they will receive standard care only in the control. In addition, a follow-up until the end of the study will be realized.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of virtual reality on rehabilitation for the patients after a major amputation. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does the virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation improve the life quality of patients (i.e. lesser pain, better spirit)? - Does the virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation improve the daily life function of the patients? Participants will received a virtual-reality-assisted rehabilitation on the second postoperative day for ten days. The rehabilitation would be carried out two times per day and 30 minutes per training.
The study was planned as a block randomized controlled experimental study. In order to calculate the sample size needed in our study, a pilot study will be conducted and a priori power analysis will be made based on the results of this study. E-mobile application will be used as data collection tool. The research will be carried out with 2 groups as application (mobile application) and control (standard care).
Swallow and dual-task are a current issue and there are few studies on this subject. These studies have shown that as a result of dual-task interaction, swallowing is affected by attention and cognitive capacity, and dual-task negatively affects swallowing performance. But, studies include simple cognitive tasks and are not suitable for daily living activities. There is no study that compares all visual, auditory and motor dual tasks during swallowing and considers the effects on liquid, thick and solid foods similar to daily living activities. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of visual, auditory and motor dual-task on swallowing and chewing function in healthy young adults. As a result of the study, the dual-task that has the most impact on swallowing and chewing function will be determined, and visual, auditory and motor performance changes will be revealed as well as swallowing and chewing functions. It is planned that the results obtained will guide the rehabilitation of swallowing disorder with further studies on dual-task exercises.
The aim of our study is to verify the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of B-GYA.
The objective of this project is to pilot test an ADL (activities of daily living)-enhanced program as an adjuvant therapy to usual home health rehabilitation to improve patient outcomes. The project will compare the ADL-enhanced program plus usual care with usual care using an RCT design in home health patients.
The proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated the effect of acupuncture treatment on the functional capacity (FC) and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) patients receiving maintenance dialysis. A total of 60 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients undergoing hemodialysis (HD) from a dialysis centre (Portugal), were randomly assigned to acupuncture, sham and control group.
The study investigated a six-week randomized controlled trial study in a small cohort of 16 family caregivers of individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. Family caregivers used assistive technology in the form of visual mapping software on smart devices in the experimental condition to support their care recipients in carrying out activities of daily living. Family caregivers in the control condition viewed educational videos about dementia care on their devices in supporting their individuals. The intervention was implemented for a total of 6 weeks. The investigators hypothesized that compared to the caregivers using educational videos, the caregivers using assistive technology will report improved quality of life and completion of activities of daily living for their care recipients, all the while reducing caregiver's burden and stress.
