Filter by:This randomized control trial (RCT) aims to test the effect of a 12 weeks tailored behavioral intervention on stroke survivors living in the community and compare the results to a control group of stroke survivors participating in standard care. The intervention's purpose is to lower the time spend with sedentary behavior and raise the level of physical activity in stroke survivors throughout their everyday life. The intervention contains two motivational interviews with a focus on goal setting, action planning, motivation, fatigue management, and general information on life after stroke. The primary outcome for behavior change is objectively measured physical activity using an activity tracker (ActivPal4 Micro) and secondary glycohemoglobin and changes in quality of life.
Physiotherapy is a discipline which englobe not only the rehabilitation of physical pathologies but also their prevention. That is why this study pretends to upgrade this part of the physical therapy specialty while prove new therapies using innovation technologies in people with any physical neurological disease. The main problem that this study pretends to solve is the necessity of develop new activities to improve quality of life and integration in people with any physical neurological disease. People with any neurological disease used to present visual problems, pain, fatigue, functional dependence, and a bad quality of life and it appears that exercise habits could improve all these deficiencies. However, how could people with any physical neurological disease participate in an integrated way in nowadays physical activities? The main objective of this study is to prove the effectiveness on visual acuity, quality of life, pain decreasing, functional independence and fatigue of physical therapy modalities in people with any physical neurological disease. The experiment will take part with 128 participants, divided equally in control and experimental groups. Both are going to receive adapted yoga sessions but only experiment group is going to test oculomotor therapy. Descriptive investigation would take part at the end of the intervention to analyze all results.
This projects studies the role of tai chi exercise and wearable fitness trackers to promote physical activity in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) survivors.
The investigators are assessing acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility of the adapted GameSquad-DS intervention using validated scales alongside qualitative data among young adults with Down Syndrome. Specifically, the investigators will assess mins/wk of Ring-Fit Adventure played, attendance at 30 min. virtual health coaching sessions, semi-structured interviews, participant retention, and intervention safety measured as number of adverse events.
Chronic diseases are the leading health problem in Brazil and Canada. Such diseases share common risk factors in common, such as physical inactivity, poor diet, and smoking. This context requires a comprehensive approach to change these behavioural risk factors, aiming at the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the prevention of diseases. Although Brazil and Canada have significant differences, particularly in terms of socioeconomic factors, some similarities in the health domain allow both countries to mutually benefit from an exchange of knowledge. For instance, the newest version of Canada's dietary guidelines has incorporated several aspects presented in the pioneering evidence-based dietary guidelines for the Brazilian population, launched in 2014. Similarly, Brazil can greatly benefit if the country follows the Canadian lead in prioritizing investment in physical activity initiatives. The present project aims to verify the effectiveness of a Canadian program to change health behaviours, specifically physical inactivity, poor diet, and smoking, adapted for Brazilians. The project consists of a 12-week randomized controlled trial, based on education and behaviour change techniques focusing on physical activity, healthy eating habits, and smoking cessation. Pre-, post, and 3-month follow-up health and fitness assessments will evaluate respectively the initial condition of the participants, eventual changes and if the changes persist.
This study was planned within the scope of the call titled "Non-communicable diseases risk reduction in adolescence and youth (Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases - GACD)" with identity number HORIZON-HLTH-2022-DISEASE-07-03. The purpose of this project; is to determine the effect of the Metaverse-Based Healthy Life Program to be developed in the project to support youths in decreasing future risks of developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and in gaining healthy lifestyle behaviors (HLBs).
