The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about in inspiratory muscle training on cardiorespiratory capacity, pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, sports skills, and quality of life of wheelchair rugby athletes. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are the wheelchair rugby athletes show better results in cardiopulmonary assessment tests in safety and effort, in the post- inspiratory muscle training period, when compared to their results in the pre-inspiratory muscle training period? - Is inspiratory muscle training capable of increasing ventilatory capacity at rest and during exertion? Participants will be evaluated through questionnaires, laboratory and field tests, such as: - Pulmonary function (spirometry), - Inspiratory muscle strength (manovacuometry), - Cardiorespiratory capacity under exertion (cardiopulmonary exercise test), - Wheelchair rugby specific skills (Beck Battery) - Quality of life (WHOQOL-DIS) .
Disability in daily living activities (ADL) is a typical issue among nursing care residents. The goal of this study was to look at the geriatric syndromes that cause incapacity in nursing home residents.
The STRIVE Before Surgery Trial evaluates three pragmatic elements (recruitment, adherence, and follow-up) associated with participating in a home-based multimodal prehabilitation program supported through an online platform. Half of the participants will be randomized into the prehabilitation group, while the other half will be randomized into the control group.
The purpose of this study is to work with a community engagement group to develop and pilot a protocol for a virtual reality exergaming program for children with special needs at a high school.
Research problem and specific questions: Health-related habits influences mental and physical health. Still, screening and treatment of health-related habits, which can help to remedy health problems, is not done at all or very superficially. National guidelines emphasize the importance of prioritizing health-related habits, but there is a lack of implemented models. To solve this, the investigators have developed a transdiagnostic, interprofessional material intended for several care settings. Study 1: Is LEV a feasible intervention in different healthcare contexts? Study 2: A functional roadmap to healthier habits: A thematic analysis of themes form the functional analysis of unhealthy and healthy lifestyle behavior in adults with disabilities This study will use data from study 1.
Physical inactivity is an increasing problem in the general population in society. However, in people with disabilities, inactivity is even more frequently reported. Physical activity on prescription (PAP) is a well-established method to enhance physical activity. The prescribed physical activity can be activities such as walking, cycling, swimming, or gardening, and should be performed over a longer period. In children with cerebral palsy, PAP has shown to be feasible to increase participation in physical activity and to reduce sedentary behaviour, and the habilitation services in the Region of Skåne have decided to offer PAP to all children and youth with disabilities. It is of great importance to study these interventions when applied on a broader group of patients than previously studied. The aim is to study the effects of an individualised and health-enhancing intervention in physically inactive people with autism, intellectual and physical disabilities. Also, the cost-effectiveness of PAP will be studied. 60 physically inactive children, aged 8- 17 years, and 20 adults, with autism, intellectual or physical disability will be included. The participants are recruited by their clinical physiotherapists, who also will be carrying out the PAP-intervention. The self-selected physical activity/activities may either be a physical activity organized by a club and/or an everyday activity such as walking a dog or riding a bicycle to school. Each participant fills in an activity logbook. Motivational interviewing will be used to support the participants. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure can be used to identify what activities the participants are motivated to do, and to detect changes in the participants' perception of their performance of the activity. Quality of life will be monitored. Physical activity will be measured through the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and a movement monitor (accelerometer). Study specific questionnaires will be filled in regarding costs and background information. Data on health care use of the participants will retrospectively be collected and studied using the health care database in Region Skåne. Data will be collected at 3 months prior to the intervention, just before the intervention starts, when the intervention is finished, and at 6, 12 and 24 months after the intervention. The study has been approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority.
This study aims to develop and validate the Italian version of the modified Barthel Index (mBI-Italian), through the following steps: - translation of the mBI into Italian, by using the froward-backward translation approach, to produce a pre-final mBI-Italian - pre-pilot testing of the pre-final mBI-Italian in a sample of ten health professionals (physicians and physiotherapists), ten subjects who had a stroke, and 10 caregivers, i.e. subjects who take care of a person who had a stroke. All participants will be asked to judge the clarity of each item of the scale, including scoring instructions - evaluation of the metric properties (internal consistency, inter- and intra-rater reliability, validity and responsiveness) of the final mBI-Italian in a sample of subjects admitted to the Don Gnocchi Foundation in Florence for rehabilitation after stroke
This study aims to develop and validate the Italian version of the Motricity Index (MI-Italian), through the following steps: - translation of the MI into Italian, by using the forward-backward translation approach, to produce a pre-final MI-Italian - pre-pilot testing of the pre-final MI-Italian in a sample of ten health professionals (physicians and physiotherapists), who will be asked to judge the clarity of each item of the MI, including scoring instructions, to produce a final MI-Italian - evaluation of the metric properties (internal consistency, inter- and intra-rater reliability, validity and responsiveness) of the final MI-Italian in a sample of subjects admitted to the Don Gnocchi Foundation in Florence for rehabilitation after stroke.
