Filter by:Lower Limb Amputations (LLAs) are a substantial burden on the Canadian health services with nearly 50,000 cases reported between 2006 and 2011. To address the challenging nature of a LLA (e.g., decreased mobility, pain, depression), patients need to go through extensive rehabilitation programs. Effective self-management programs can help those with LLA to monitor their own condition and improve their quality of life. However, a lack of self-management programs, a limited healthcare budget, and a decrease in quality of services (e.g. shorter lengths of stay for inpatients and rapid movement to outpatient services) pose further challenges for patients with LLA. Self-management programs can be provided to clients through online mobile technologies (e.g., tablet) and offer accessible, low-cost, and potentially augmentative rehabilitation after discharge, in both urban and rural areas. To address these needs, an online educational and training platform for individuals with LLA called, Self-Management for Amputee Rehabilitation using Technology (SMART) was designed and developed. SMART focuses on LLA education, prosthetic limb management, and weekly support of peers. It is monitored by a trainer through a website. SMART will be evaluated in men and women with LLA aged 50 years and over, admitted to prosthetic rehabilitation throughout BC and ON. SMART has the potential to influence a client's post-LLA needs with direct (e.g., individual's health) and indirect (e.g., healthcare utilization) benefits. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of SMART in community dwelling older adults with unilateral, above or below, knee amputation.
The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy of a modified version of the behaviour management technique Latent inhibition in combination with Er:YAG laser for achieving reduction of dental anxiety in paediatric dental patients. The main objectives are to compare dental anxiety felt during the laser and conventional dental treatment. The outcomes will be dental anxiety assessment by a self-reported anxiety during treatment in both group as well as measurement of heart rate dynamics during the procedures.
This study will examine the effects of a school based exercise intervention programme on the behaviour and fitness levels in children with autism.
The present study aimed to determine whether infants disorders of regulation of states are associated with perinatal anxiety, and further to explore the efficacy of the behavioral intervention in enhancing positive interactions between mothers and their infants and thus ameliorating infants' disorders of regulation of states.
Wellness Rx is a 6 class prescription for a healthier lifestyle developed for people in Lake County at all levels of health including those struggling with chronic disease. The classes are running across the community at all times. It is designed for patients that could benefit from healthy diet, exercise, and other healthy lifestyle modifications. For those participants attending the classes, they have the option of engaging in this evaluation. For those that do, participants will answer questions about their current lifestyle, their and their previous history. They will register attendance at each class and answer questions about their perception of the class. Then at 45 days and 90 days the participants will revisit the same baseline lifestyle questionnaires. As participants attend classes, and complete questionnaires, they'll unlock grocery credits from online food store ThriveMarket, a basket of fresh produce from the local farmers market and local fitness classes to help you towards your goals. The use of these credits will be tracked through the 90-day point.
