Filter by:Palliative care aims to improve the quality of life for patients and families who are affected life-threatening, incurable disease. The care should be person-centred, but it is not entirely clear how this is best achieved. The Institute for Palliative Care, Lund, has developed the Swedish Palliative Care Guide (S-PCG) which support for a person-centred approach throughout the palliative care process. The aim of this study is to implement the Swedish Palliative Care Guide (S-PCG) part 2 at Residential Facilities and evaluate functionality, effect and patient benefit in clinical use.
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the relationship of gait speed with dynapenic or sarcopenic obesity in community-dwelling older people. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is slow walking speed related to overweight in older people in the community? - Is slow walking speed related to dynapenic obesity in older people in the community? - Is gait speed related to sarcopenic obesity in older people in the community? Participants will answer a clinical interview to obtain sociodemographic data and will perform the following clinical tests: (1) 10-meter walk test, (2) Anthropometric measurement; (3) Handgrip dynamometry test, (4) Standing dynamometry test and (5) Physical functionality questionnaires.
This randomized controlled trial aims to determine feasibility and acceptability of of VR-physical therapy modules for surgical patients undergoing breast or axilla surgery in order to prepare for and recover from surgery.
The researchers will conduct observations, interviews, and focus groups with clinicians, staff and patients of the Perioperative Optimization of Senior Health (POSH) clinic, which conducts preoperative comprehensive geriatric assessments (pCGA) at UW Health to understand clinic processes and potential areas for improvement. The goal is to (1) create a process map describing clinic workflow and (2) redesign the process with healthcare providers and patients/families.
The effectiveness of assessing postoperative outcomes in eldely patients undergoing major abdominal surgery through the Frailty Scale and Katz Activities of Daily Living evaluation is investigated in individuals aged 65-85. The secondary objective is to determine the prevalence of frailty in patients undergoing surgical procedures.
The goal of this prospective, single site, interventional randomized control trial is to treat age related health conditions in adults older than 65 years and functional independence. The main question of the study is to answer the effectiveness of notification on activity, sleep, and nutrition based on wearable device Fitbit recorded data for the improvement of health conditions including intellectual property and physical function, compared to usual care. Participants in the intervention arm will be given a Fitbit Charge 5 device and asked to wear this for the duration of the study, including during sleep. The study intervention will run for 6 months. Notifications will be issued using a monitoring software in Japanese, and issued automatically to participants. Participants in the control arm will be given a routine care and health-related information. Researchers will compare cognitive performance, muscle mass and physical activity between the two groups to see if the notification based on Fitbit data would promote the health conditions of older adults.
Study Significance: This proposed investigation is designed to examine the feasibility of an exercise-based intervention to reduce frailty in people living with MS. The proposed research will be the first to establish the feasibility of targeting frailty in pwMS and will begin to examine the dynamic nature of frailty in MS. These advances will pave the way for planned prospective studies toward effective targets for diagnostics, and rehabilitation of frailty in MS.
Depending on the YASAM project which was established to home-visit evaluate community-dwelling older adults (80 years of age and over), we aimed to determine the prevalence (prevalence) of geriatric syndromes (dependence, frailty, malnutrition, depression, dementia, comorbidity burden, polypharmacy) in these individuals and to determine possible changes in the follow-up of the patients during the 2-year follow-up period. (HEAVEN trial)
The purpose of our work; To investigate the effect of frailty on balance and fall risk in individuals with type 2 diabetes.The reason why participants the investigators invited to the study is participants diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes.During the research, a questionnaire form (age, gender, educational status, etc.) in which participants demographic information will be recorded for evaluation purposes and a consent form for participation in the study will be filled. Standardized Mini Mental Test will be applied. Then fragility will be evaluated with the Fried Fragility Index. Fall assessment will be assessed with the Fall Risk Self-Assessment Scale and balance assessment will be made with the Tinetti Balance. participants will not need to spend a long time for all assessments. The time required for the assessment will be around 30 minutes.
This is a pilot, feasibility study and the purpose of this study is exploratory. The goal is to provide the PI and study team with data using metabolomics that can be used to: a) demonstrate an ability to use such data in a future grant application; b) obtain data that determines the relationship between changes in physical function (objective and subjective) and potential metabolites.
