Filter by:Children and young people with movement difficulties such as Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) report that traditional therapies are highly repetitive and labourious. This influences enjoyment and participation in regular therapy programmes and may result in reduced adherence to therapy or exercise regimes, limiting effectiveness. This study will build on the team's previous work to explore the potential use of Virtual-Reality (VR) technologies in rehabilitationÍž particularly systems that can be used at home to increase accessibility and reduce need to attend clinics for therapy. During the co-production events of the VR4REHAB Inter Regional North West Europe (NWE) funded programme in 2018, young people desired the use of commercial games for therapeutic purposes. This work has enabled connections between affordable computer technologies: the Raspberry Pi, VR headsets and freely available commercial games. This 2-Phased project is therefore exploring the potential of commercially available virtual reality (VR) systems consoles and games for use in rehabilitation programmes. The Investigators hope to gain information on: 1. Whether commercially produced VR games can provide a motivating environment to support adherence to therapy 2. Whether it is possible to improve reaching and grasp-release hand movements through this method 3. Gain an understanding of the ages of children and young people most likely to benefit from home-based VR therapy User evaluation and performance data and therapist evaluations will be collected and compared to baseline data to provide information on usability, accessibility, acceptability and adaptability.
The goal of this pilot study is to establish the feasibility and initial efficacy of the combination of phentermine and topiramate for adolescents and young adults who require additional risk reduction after bariatric surgery. This study will use a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded design to evaluate an adjunctive 12-week intervention of phentermine + topiramate + standard of care vs. placebos + standard of care 6 months after bariatric surgery, among 12 to 24 year olds who don't achieve expected weight loss or who remain severely obese (n=10 total).
Symptom interference is common for survivors of young adult cancer (aged 18-39 at diagnosis) and impacts their abilities to achieve normative life goals (e.g., education, careers, independence, romantic/social relationships) as well as adhere to recommended follow-up care. Assistance with symptom management has been rated by young adult survivors as an important and unmet healthcare need; however, skill-based symptom management interventions have typically been tested among older cancer survivors and have not targeted the unique developmental needs of those diagnosed as young adults. The proposed research advances the health and wellbeing of young adult cancer survivors by creating a developmentally appropriate hybrid in-person/mHealth behavioral symptom management intervention which addresses variables (i.e., symptoms and symptom interference) consistently linked to significant social, economic, and health burden.
The purpose of this study will be to provide undergraduate students information about skin cancer risk and prevention. The study will last between 2-3 months. Everyone in the study will be asked to answer questionnaires and receive education about skin cancer risk factors and prevention. We will follow-up with participants by phone, text messages or e-mail in between study visits Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups, the group will be in is decided by chance. Participant will either be assigned to: - A group that gets advice about what causes skin cancer and how to prevent it - A group that gets this advice and provides a saliva sample to receive personalized skin cancer risk genetic testing results - A group that gets this advice and receives a personalized photo that shows existing skin damage - A group that gets this advice, receives genetic testing results, and receives a personalized photo.
Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with cancer have to deal with a relatively segmented organization of care between pediatric and adult medicine structures in France. However, the third french Plan Cancer 2014-2019 helped in the recognition of the specificities of the AYA affected by cancer and allowed the creation of specific structures in some care units in France, whose primary goal is the preservation of the social link. Indeed, peer relations contribute to access to quality social support, which is an important variable in patient adjustment with cancer. The adolescents that perceive higher social support report less psychological distress and exhibit higher adaptation scores. It nevertheless happens that AYA experience negative social support, often from friends because of contact reduction during the disease. Patients can then elect to turn towards non-intimate relations such as support groups. The main risk when a AYA with cancer defines a sick peer as one bringing him quality social support is the installation of a sense of guilt, for example, when a young person is confronted with disease negative progress or with peer death. The more an adolescent identifies with the deceased, the more he is able to consider his own mortality. AYA units are developing in France, creating a community of sick adolescents. These communities are precious for AYA and allow information and experience sharing, a feeling of reduced isolation and a greater emotional closeness with peers suffering from the same disease. How is social support from peers and close friends perceived by these young people in AYA units and through the social networks? What can the consequences of the evolution of peer disease be on AYA? What is the impact of the mourning of sick peers on these young people? What are the predictors?
The goal of the proposed study is to examine whether a single session of training in regulation of craving (ROC-T) affects alcohol drinking. The study will consist of (1) a basic screening (phone and/or online) and an in-person visit, to determine eligibility and conduct pre-intervention baseline assessments; (2) a training (ROC-T) visit, (3) a post-intervention assessment visit, and (4) 1-2 phone/online follow-up assessments. The study will take up to 10 hours of the participants' time.
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Tai chi exercises on balance and body awareness in younger adults. Forty-two healthy subjects between the ages of 18-25 who do not have any restriction to exercise participate in our study. After recording the sociodemographic characteristics of the subjects, static and dynamic balance and body awareness will be evaluated. Kinesthetic Ability Trainer will be used to assess static and dynamic balance and body awareness will be evulated with Body Awareness Questionnaire. All assessments will be done before and 12 weeks after the tai chi exercise. Tai-chi training will be performed as a group exercise. Duration for tai chi exercise will be 60 minutes for 2 days per week totally 12 weeks.
Objectives: This study aims to explore families' representations and strategies about their teenagers or young adults involved in the radicalisation process and use these findings to build specific tools to help professionals provide family support.
Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer have many needs for supportive care that differ from younger and older patients.This includes age-appropriate psychological support for management of distress, as well as supports for the social isolation many AYAs experience. One intervention that may provide AYAs with cancer improved psychosocial support, as well as increased physical strength, is physical activity. This feasibility project aims to evaluate the safety, feasibility and acceptability of a physical activity training in AYAs with cancer delivered via a socially interactive videoconferencing platform.
The investigators aim to measure the impact of a rehabilitation program in congenital cardiology in terms of health related quality of life. The orginality of the rehabilitation program consists in its design : initial hospitalizationfor a short period of time (5 days) at the rehabilitation center, followed by 11 weeks of rehabilitation at home under the supervision of a specialized sports trainer.
