Filter by:De Morton Mobility Index is recommended for the evaluation of mobility in the evidence-based guidelines, in patients in intensive care units. The aim of our study is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the De Morton Mobility Index in patients hospitalized in the respiratory intensive care unit.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary, multimodal approach aiming to improve surgical outcomes. This study compares the length of hospital stay of patients undergoing single-level posterior lumbar arthrodesis and treated with the ERAS protocol with the hospital stay of patients treated according to the standard protocol.
Aims and Objectives: This study was conducted in order to determine the factors that affected the early mobilization after surgery of patients who had undergone knee and hip arthroplasty. Background: Early mobilization in knee and hip arthroplasty is still not at the desired level, and it is among the most frequently overlooked nursing practices. Desing: This study is descriptive and cross-sectional. STROBE checlist was used to compile the study's report. Methods: The universe of the study consisted of a total of 80 patients who were hospitalized between 07 November 2017 and 21 September 2018 in the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic of a State Hospital to undergo knee or hip arthroplasty, and who met the inclusion criteria. The sample of the study consisted of 60 patients who were in the universe of the study, who met the inclusion criteria and who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study.
The purposes of this study is to examine balance, muscle strength, and mobility in relation with non-motor symptoms (NMSs) in patients with Parkinsosn's Disease (PD). NMSs have been shown to be the key determinant of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and have a greater effect on HRQoL compared to motor symptoms.Despite a growing literature on NMSs, there are few data on the association between NMSs and motor phenotypes of PD, and they have usually focused only on specific domains of NMSs, such as cognition, mood/anxiety issues, or sleep disorders. When literature is examined, there is no study which examines balance, muscle strength, and mobility in relation with NMSs in patients with PD.For all these reasons, we think that balance, muscle strength, mobility, and NMSs in patients with PD are worse than those of the healthy individuals and that there is a relationship between NMSs and motor symptoms.
Prematurely born children (PC) have academic difficulties related to poorer attention capabilities. Additionally, they often show excessive mobility, quoted as agitation. Some consider it could be related to poorer postural control and impaired perception of gravity vertical. But, this excessive mobility could also be an unconscious way for PC to improve their attention performance. The aim of this study is to evaluate the interdependence between postural and cognitive activities in school age PC versus term born children (TC). First, the performance of PC and TC at the Attention Network Test for Children will be analyzed with the use of a mobile versus a classic school chair. Secondly, participants will have to position a stick vertically to measure their perception of vertical gravity. Finally, the spontaneous postural activity of PC and TC (evaluated by the center of pressure displacement) will be studied during the execution of three different attention tasks at different levels of difficulty. Success rate and reaction time will be analyzed for all attention tasks. Moreover, center of pressure displacement calculation will allow evaluation of infants' spontaneous mobility, the precision of their postural control and the attention allocated to their posture.
Mobility is a crucial factor for independence and quality of life in older people. However, the majority of those in retirement homes are not physically active to maintain mobility and independence. The aim of the cluster randomized controlled bestform trial in 20 retirement homes (1:1 randomization) is to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal exercise program for older people living in retirement homes in comparison to usual care over 6 months. Within the intervention facilities, the participants will take part in a physical activity program over 6 months (2 times a week à 45 min) consisting of machine-based strength, coordination and endurance training. Criteria of effectiveness are changes in physical function (primary endpoint: Change of Short Physical Performance Battery Score after 6 months) and the following secondary endpoints: mobility and balance, rate of falls, cardiometabolic risk factors, myocard function, quality of life and lifestyle factors (nutrition, physical activity), assessed by medical assessments, physical performance tests and various questionnaires after 3 and 6 months. Follow-up data will be collected after 18 and 30 months (questionnaire).
The project focuses on supporting home care in the post-hospitalization period (Home Health Phase), and then further optimizing the older Veterans' recovery of mobility and physical activity in the transition back to the home/community (Follow-up Phase).
The proposed study will investigate the feasibility of using the Wake Forest Real-time Location System (RTLS) in monitoring patient movement during their in-hospital postoperative recovery. The study will involve patients who have undergone surgery requiring inpatient admission to the surgical ward. Actual patient movement will be monitored during their postoperative recovery and compared with data recorded by the Wake Forest location system. In this small pilot study, a subgroup of participants will be randomized to two cohorts, continuous walking and interval walking. Tolerability of the varied walking intensity will be measured.
The overall objective is to evaluate objective dual-task turning measures for use as rehabilitative outcomes and as tools for return-to-duty assessments in individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).This project consists of three goals examining the I) Diagnostic Accuracy, II) Predictive Capacity, and III) Responsiveness to Intervention of dual task turning measures in individuals with mTBI. The investigators hypothesize that objective measures of dual-task turning will have high diagnostic accuracy, predictive capacity, and responsiveness to intervention in people with mTBI.
Objectives: Specific mobility programs can delay the functional decline in people with dementia (PwD) and help to preserve their abilities of daily living. Respite care is a common used short time inpatient service (max. 4 weeks of stay) to support dementia care arrangements. Within the DESKK project, a concept is developed which complements and optimizes dementia-specific respite care through a mobility program and a counseling program. As one part of the DESKK study, it is the aim to develop and implement a time effective and evidence based mobility program for PwD in respite care which can be individually adapted on PwD needs and preferences. It includes a short "homework-program" for caring relatives to facilitate ongoing mobility training of the PwD after returned back home. Methods: A pilot based, quasi-experimental evaluation study is conducted in a specialized respite care facility for PwD. The concept was developed on the basis of a comprehensive literature research, study visits at existing counseling programs as well as expert workshops with practitioners and scientists. To evaluate the implementation process, qualitative data are collected by single und group interviews. Quantitative data are collected using validated instruments to assess mobility and cognitive function of PwD. A mixed methods triangulation approach will be used to aggregate qualitative and quantitative data. Discussion: It is expected that the RC concept will be suitable and understandable for the staff, so that it can be implemented in the RC facility. As a result of the mobility program, the physical abilities of the PwDs should improve. Similar, the burden of the caregivers should be reduced by combined effects of the counselling program and the higher mobility level of the PwD. The whole DESKK concept, including a systematic counseling program for caring relatives, which is not part of this presentation, will be described in form of a practice friendly website to get disseminated into clinical routine after its successful evaluation.
