Abstract:

Abstract According to the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, a functional capacity evaluation (FCE) measures an individual's physical abilities via a set of activities in a structured setting and provides objective data about the relationship between an impairment and maximal ability to perform work activities. A key distinction between FCEs and self-reported activities of daily living is that the former involve direct observation by professional evaluators. Numerous devices can quantify the physical function of a specific part of the musculoskeletal system but do not address the performance of whole body tasks in the workplace, and these devices have not been shown to predict accurately the ability to perform all but the simplest job tasks. Information about reliability has been proposed as a way to identify magnification and malingering, but variability due to pain and poor comprehension of instructions may cause variations in assessments. Structured work capacity evaluations involve a set of activities but likely underestimate the individual's ability to do jobs that involve complex or varying activities. Job simulations involve direct observation of an individual performing actual job tasks, require a skilled and experienced evaluator, and raise questions about expense, time, objectivity and validity of results, and interpretation of results in terms of the ability to perform specific jobs. To understand the barriers to return to work, examiners must supplement FCEs with information regarding workplace environment, accommodations, and demotivators.

Abstract:

Introduction In Brazil 23% of leprosy patients have some type of physical disability after discharge. The impact on the respiratory system and correlation with functional exercise capacity is still unknown. Objective To correlate the functional exercise capacity and pulmonary function in individuals with leprosy sequelae. Materials and methods We evaluated 20 subjects and 25 controls by sensory evaluation, muscle strength, graduate the grade of physical disability followed by pulmonary function tests with spirometry and manovacuometry, besides the functional exercise capacity through the six minute walking distance (6MWD). Results The majority (75%) of the subjects showed physical disability grade 1. The mean of the maximal inspiratory pressure were below than normal -71 ± 31 cmH20 and maximal expiratory pressure +89 ± 22 cmH20. Spirometric values presented measures within normal value. The functional exercise capacity found a reduced value with a distance of 404 ± 92m. Positive and statistically significant correlation between the inspiratory pressures with 6MWD (r = 0.49, p = 0.025) and, similarly, expiratory pressure (r = 0.53, p = 0.004). The same evidence is found in maximal respiratory pressures of individuals in grade 1 with significant correlations (r = 0.52, p = 0.036) and (r = 0.51, p = 0.042). Conclusion Individuals with leprosy sequelae had impaired respiratory muscle strength and functional exercise capacity. Maximal respiratory pressures are presented as an independent factor in the change in performance in the functional exercise capacity.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of an eight-week progressive resistance training programme on lower extremity strength, ambulatory function, fatigue and self-reported disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients (mean disability score 3.79-0.8). Eight MS subjects volunteered for twice weekly training sessions. During the first two weeks, subjects completed one set of 8 -10 reps at 50% of maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of knee flexion, knee extension and plantarflexion exercises. In subsequent sessions, the subjects completed one set of 10 -15 repetitions at 70% of MVC. The resistance was increased by 2 -5% when subjects completed 15 repetitions in consecutive sessions. Isometric strength of the quadriceps, hamstring, plantarflexor and dorsiflexor muscle groups was assessed before and after the training programme using an isokinetic dynamometer. Magnetic resonance images of the thigh were acquired before and after the exercise programme as were walking speed (25-ft), number of steps in 3 min, and self-reported fatigue and disability. Knee extension (7.4%), plantarflexion (52%) and stepping performance (8.7%) increased significantly (PB-0.05). Self-reported fatigue decreased (PB-0.05) and disability tended to decrease (P -0.07) following the training programme. MS patients are capable of making positive adaptations to resistance training that are associated with improved ambulation and decreased fatigue.

Abstract:

Introduction: Osteoarthritis of knee is a progressive joint disease which produces pain, inflammation and destruction of joint which in turn leads to range of motion limitation and walking disabilities. Affection in physical functioning is determined not only by just activities involving lower limb capacity but also by the activities which require use of upper extremities. Hence in this study, 6MWD and no. of rings moved in 6 minutes were taken as an outcome measures for determining the exercise capacity. KOOS is a self-administered questionnaire which was used in its cross culturally adapted format for determining the functional disability in patients. Objectives: 1. To study correlation of exercise capacity with functional disability in patients with osteoarthritis of knee. 2. To study correlation of upper limb exercise capacity with lower limb exercise capacity in patients with osteoarthritis of knee. Methods: Cross sectional, observational study including 30 patients of either gender having unilateral osteoarthritis of knee conducted in a tertiary care hospital. Results: No. of rings moved in 6 minutes and global KOOS score showed no statistically significant correlation. 6MWD and global KOOS score showed no statistically significant correlation. 6 minute walk distance and 6 minute peg board ring test showed no statistically significant correlation. Conclusion: The study suggests that there is no correlation of exercise capacity with functional disability in patients with osteoarthritis of knee. Also, there is no correlation found between upper limb exercise capacity and lower limb exercise capacity in patients with osteoarthritis of knee. KEY WORDS: Knee osteoarthritis, Knee pain, squat depth, functional disability, cardiorespiratory endurance, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Quality of life.

Abstract:

Objective: to investigate the association between nutritional status and functional limitation and disability in an elderly population in southern Brazil. Methods: epidemiological, cross-sectional household-based study carried out with 477 elderly of both sexes (60 to 100 years). Body mass index (BMI) served to assess the nutritional status: underweight (BMI < 22 kg/m2) and overweight (BMI > 27 kg/m2). The sum score (0-5) obtained in three tests: "chair stand" and "pick up a pen" (measured by time) and standing balance (four static measurements) assessed the functional limitation. The disability was evaluated by the difficulty in performing one or more self-reported tasks related to basic activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs). Crude and adjusted analyzes (3 models) were carried out using Poisson regression; prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated. Results: crude analyzes showed a positive association between underweight and functional limitation (PR = 2.71, 95% CI = 1.63 to 4.51); overweight and disability in ADLs (PR = 2.20, CI 95% = 1.44 to 3.35); overweight and disability in IADLs (PR = 1.56, CI 95% = 1.20 to 2.03). The additional adjustments for gender, age, level of education, living arrangements, current work, cognitive function and number of morbidities reduced the strength of the associations, without changing the statistical strength. Conclusion: nutritional status is a factor that is independently and positively associated with functional limitation and disability. We recommend the use of this indicator to monitor the health of the elderly.

Abstract:

Objective: to investigate the association between handgrip strength and functional capacity in people with diabetes. Method: observational cross-sectional study with 168 participants seen at an outpatient clinic in Curitiba, Brazil, in 2019. Clinical, sociodemographic, and socioeconomic data were collected, and the following protocols were applied: World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule; Timed Up and Go; and dynamometry. For the analysis, multiple linear regression models were adjusted for the dependent variables related to functional capacity. Results: we observed mild disability, borderline functional mobility, and higher correlation between functional mobility scale and handgrip strength (r=-0.384; p < 0.01). Handgrip strength with other covariates explained less than 30% of the functional variability. Conclusion: these results contribute to the problem-solving of clinical practice in that they show that muscle strength and functional capacity should be considered in the evaluation of the patient in combination, making it clearer and more comprehensive.

Abstract:

Reduced functional capacity is a common characteristic of fibromyalgia (FMS). We aimed to investigate the relationship between functional status and body mass index (BMI) in a population with and without FMS. A pilot case–control study was performed in 34 women with FMS and 22 healthy controls which were classified according to their BMI. The main outcome measures were: Balance (MiniBestest, One Leg Stance Test), functional mobility (Timed up and Go), physical disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index), spinal range of motion (Spinal Mouse), level of physical activity at work (Leisure Time Physical Activity Instrument), and home and leisure time (Physical Activity at Home and Work). Statistical differences were observed between overweight/obese healthy controls and women with FMS for several indicators of functional capacity. FMS patients reported worse dynamic (p = 0.001) and static balance (right: p = 0.002, left: p = 0.001), poorer functional mobility (p = 0.008), and higher levels of physical disability (p = 0.001). Functional status is altered in FMS women compared to the healthy control group, independently of nutritional status; therefore, BMI is unlikely to play a main role in functional capacity indicators in postmenopausal FMS women. Only dynamic balance seems to reduce the obesity status in this population.

Abstract:

Klasifikacijos pagrindinis tikslas - užtikrinti lygiavertį neįgaliųjų plaukikų su skirtingoms fizinėmis negalėmis dalyvavimą varžybose. Lygiavertiškumo įvertinimas yra labai sudėtingas procesas, dėl to vis dar tęsiasi mokslininkų diskusijos ieškant naujų tyrimo metodų, kaip išanalizuoti ir objektyviai įvertinti skirtingos negalios plaukikų galimybes dalyvauti neįgaliųjų plaukime. Tyrimo objektas – skirtingų fizinių negalių neįgalieji plaukikai. Dėl vis besitesinčios diskusijos apie klasifikacijos problemas ir išsamesnių tyrimų trūkumo, funkcinės plaukimo klasifikacinės sistemos tyrimai išlieka aktualūs ir reikšmingi. Dėl to, kad mažai tyrinėtas neįgaliųjų požiūris į klasifikacijos sistemą ir netyrinėtas treniruočių poveikis skirtingos negalios plaukikų rezultatams buvo suformuluotos tokios hipotezės: • skirtingos fizinės negalios plaukikų požiūris į klasifikacijos sistemą turėtų būti teigiamas; • skirtingos fizinės negalios tipo, bet tos pačios klasės plaukikų aerobinio pajėgumo rodikliai ir plaukimo rezultatai turėtų būti panašūs. Šio darbo tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti ir įvertinti skirtingos fizinės negalios tipo plaukikų požiūrį ir galimybes dalyvauti neįgaliųjų plaukime, aerobinio pajėgumo rodiklių ir plaukimo rezultatų kitimo aspektais. Šiam tiksliu pasiekti buvo iškelta keletas uždavinių: 1. nustatyti ir įvertinti neįgaliųjų plaukikų požiūrį į klasifikacinę sistemą ir galimybes dalyvauti plaukime; 2. nustatyti ir įvertinti aštuonių savaičių trukmės treniruočių įtaką...

Sport classification systems help to ensure that competition is equitable and individuals who, do so because of training and talent and not because their disability happens to be less severe then their opponents. For international competition the system changes. Since the late 1980”s international swimming for athletes with disabilities has used a functional classification system. It was a lot of proble in this disability system. Disability swimming is a complex social system with many individual actors interaction with each other to fulfill specific functions that are necessary to optimize disability swimming as a viable part of the disability sport movement. The purpose of this study was to determine of physical disable swimmer side and possibilities have a good result. Hypothesis of the research: • Sport classification system mast to help the person with different physical disable in the game; • the person with different physical disable in the same S4 class capacity mast to be the equable.

Abstract:

Aquesta tesi avalua l'existència de diferencies per gènere en la relació entre discapacitat i mortalitat, i aspectes metodològics en l'anàlisi de supervivènciad'estudis de gent gran. Es van utilitzar les dades provinents d'una cohort de 1.315 subjectes amb edats superiors o iguals a 65 anys que van ser seguits durant un periode de 8 anys. La discapacitat es va mesurar mitjançant la capacitat que declarava l'individu per dur a terme activitats de la vida diària bàsiques.
La discapacitat va evolucionar al llarg del temps empitjorant amb l'edat, però una proporció no menyspreable va ser capaç de recuperar-se. Es van observar diferències per gènere en l'evolució de la discapacitat: les dones tenien més dificultats en recuperar la seva capacitat funcional un cop esdevenien discapacitades. La força de l'associació entre la discapacitat i la mortalitat disminuia a edats avançades. Es van trobar diferencies per sexe: les dones depenents mostraven un risc de morir més alt que el homes depenents.
Polítiques de salut dirigides a dones discapacitades haurien de ser implementades degut a la proporció més elevada de dones discapacitades, la probabilitat menor que tenen de recuperar la capacitat funcional, i el risc de morir més elevat que presenten comparat amb homes dicapacitats.
This thesis evaluates the existence of gender differences in the relationship between disability and mortality, as well as methodological aspects of the survival analysis for elderly studies. Data from a cohort of 1,315 subjects aged 65 years and older followed-up 8 years was used. Disability was assessed by self-reported difficulty to perform basic activities of daily living.
Disability evolved over time worsening with age, but a non-negligible proportion was able to recover. There were gender differences in the evolution of disability: women were less able to regain functional capacity once they become disabled. The strength of the association between disability and mortality decreased in the older ages. But differences by gender were found: dependent elderly women showed a higher risk of dying compared to dependent men.
Health policies focusing on disabled women should be implemented, due to the higher proportion of disabled women, the lower probability of regaining functional capacity, and their higher risk of dying compared to disabled men.

Abstract:

Physical inactivity, a modifiable risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) both in persons with intellectual disability (ID) and non-ID, is considered the fourth leading cause of death in the world. Long-term regular participation in physical activity is associated with a reduced risk for CHD. Literature currently lacks evidence on the effect of long-term physical activity on the functional capacity and risk factors for developing CHD in persons with ID. The purpose of this study was firstly, to determine the effect of a long-term physical activity intervention on the risk factors associated with developing CHD and secondly the effect of a combined aerobic and resistance physical activity intervention on the functional capacity of persons with ID. A cohort of seventy-four (74) participants living in a care facility in Potchefstroom, South Africa, participated in this study, a seven-year follow-up physical activity intervention study. To determine the effect of a seven-year combined aerobic and resistance exercise intervention programme, data was collected in 2006 and in 2013. At baseline (2006) and end (2013), a CHD risk profile was determined by means of a questionnaire and physical assessment. The physical assessment included resting blood pressure, peripheral glucose and cholesterol measurements, and body composition by means of body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) and body fat percentage derived from skinfold measurements. Cardiorespiratory fitness was assessed by means of the adapted sub-maximal YMCA bicycle ergometer protocol from which a physical work capacity (PWC) was calculated. The participants followed a structured physical activity intervention two days per week for at least 45 minutes for a seven year period. The exercise intervention consists of cardiorespiratory exercises, muscle stretches and muscle endurance exercises. All data analyses were performed with SPSS 22.0 (IBM SPSS Statistics, Armonk, NY) statistical analysis software programme. The descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviations) as well as frequencies were calculated to describe the characteristics of the participants and the point prevalence of the CHD risk factors. General Linier Model analyses were applied to determine the significant changes in CHD risk factors measured from baseline to end with adjustment for baseline measurements. McNemar exact test indicated significant changes in the point prevalence of the CHD risk factors from baseline to end. The relationship between the changes in the cardiorespiratory fitness and the measured risk factors were performed with a partial correlation analysis adjusting for age in 2013. The level of significance was set at p ≤ 0.05. The results indicate that the prevalence of inactivity decreased with 50% after the seven-year intervention program. Prevalence of age as a risk factor for developing CHD increased significantly post-intervention from 10% to 18%. Body mass decreased significantly in men (1.25 ± 5.43 kg) and increased significantly in women (0.15 ± 6.83kg). BMI changes reflect changes in body mass of the participants. Body fat percentages increased both in men (2.98%) and in women (0.95%). A significant increase in systolic blood pressure (6.2 ± 10.1 mmHg) for men and diastolic blood pressure (6.35 ± 10.42 mmHg) for women was found. Physical work capacity in both male (1.90 ± 0.73 watt/kg) and female (1.55 ± 0.43 watt/kg) participants decreased to 1.43 ± 0.45 watt/kg and 1.14 ± 0.46 watt/kg respectively during the intervention period. Although a correlation between changes in PWC and the risk factors for CHD was found, none of the correlations was significant when adjusted for age in 2013. The conclusion drawn from this study is that a long-term physical activity intervention in a population with ID reduced the point prevalence for physical inactivity and overweight and obesity, in spite of a decrease in cardiorespiratory fitness. The changes in cardiorespiratory fitness did not relate to the changes observed in the risk factors of CHD.

The purpose of this study was to explore the Mach Drills play curriculum involved in health-related physical fitness and functional physical capacity of special education school students with moderate or severe intellectual disability. The subjects of this research is based on 26 students with moderate or severe intellectual disability of Special Education in New Taipai City, among them 14 in experiment group and 12 in control group. Experiment group received the Mach Drills play curriclum for 6 weeks, 5 times a week and 30 continuous minutes each time, whereas the control group does not implement any physical training. A dependent t-test was run to analyze the differences of health physical fitness and function physical capacity before and after training. The result showed that after the 6 weeks' Mach Drills play curriculum, the experimental group performed better than the control group in all of the measured items; The performance of health physical fitness and functional physical capacity all above the average level (p<.05). The analysis was based on Analysis of Covariance(ANCOVA) for figuring out the difference for health physical fitness. On health physical fitness, the results indicated that the cardiopulmonary fitness, body mass and flexibility unable the average level (p>.05). The muscle and muscular endurance above the average level (p<.05).The analysis was based on Analysis of Covariance(ANCOVA) for figuring out the difference for functional physical capacity. On functional physical capacity, the results indicated that walk, up and down stairs, walk a straight line heel and toe and standing on one foot above the average level (p<.05). The Mach drills play curriculum appeared to be an effective method for training students with moderate or severe intellectual disability in physical fitness and function physical capacity.

Abstract:

Artigo I: A atividade física (AF) tem demonstrando inúmeros benefícios para a saúde, sendo fundamental a sua prática regular por pessoas com Dificuldade Intelectual e Desenvolvimental (DID), apesar da tendência para a inatividade física. Esta revisão sistemática objetiva analisar o estado de arte da AF das pessoas com DID, em Portugal. Diversas bases de dados foram pesquisadas, e a avaliação metodológica dos estudos foi realizada pela Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies. Dos 8740 estudos iniciais, apenas 6 corresponderam aos critérios pré-estabelecidos, com um total de 145 participantes, sendo apenas um classificado como moderado e os restantes como fortes. É visível a escassez de estudos, apesar dos existentes reportarem a importância da AF na saúde, bem-estar e qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com DID. A implementação de programas de AF estruturados revela melhorias na capacidade aeróbica, bem como na capacidade funcional, funcionamento executivo, força muscular e composição corporal de praticantes com DID de AF, quando comparado com os pares sedentários. As evidências a nível nacional ainda são escassas, recomendando-se a aposta na investigação com amostras mais representativas e significativas para a implementação de programas, em diversos contextos ajustados e validados.
Article I: Despite all the positive evidences from the physical activity (PA) engagement, sedentarism still appears as one of the risk factors for the low health indexes presented by persons with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This systematic review aims to present an overview of the state of art about the PA engagement of persons with IDD in Portugal. Several databases were researched and the Quality Assessment Tool for Quantitative Studies was used for the methodological evaluation of the studies. Results: Of the 8740 studies initially found, six corresponded to the established criteria, with a total of 145 participants. The lack of scientific evidences is still a concern in Portugal. Nevertheless, the studies analyzed reported the PA engagement’ importance in health, wellbeing and quality of life of this subgroup. Structured PA programs improves aerobic capacity, as well as functional capacity, executive functioning, muscular strength and body composition of PA practitioners (with IDD) when compared to sedentary peers. The need for more research with more representative and significant samples, covering all age groups with IDD and support needs is one of the recommendations for more adjusted practices.
Artigo II: A relação positiva entre atividade física (AF), funcionalidade, saúde e qualidade de vida (QdV) apesar de referida na literatura internacional, caracteriza-se pela escassez de evidências nacionais na área. Embora as competências motoras não concorram para o diagnóstico de DID, parece haver uma correlação significativa entre proficiência motora e desenvolvimento cognitivo-funcional, pelo que o objetivo deste artigo é analisar o efeito de um programa de AF adaptada ao nível da capacidade adaptativa, proficiência motora e QdV de 8 adultos com DID, entre 26 e 61 anos (40±6.32), institucionalizados. As versões Portuguesas das escalas Comportamento Adaptativo, Pessoal de Resultados, Fullerton e o teste de proficiência motora de Bruininks-Oseretsky foram aplicadas em três momentos: baseline (antes do programa), final (após o programa) e retenção (após um mês sem o programa). Os dados da baseline permitiram planear o programa, de 20 semanas com sessões bissemanais de 50minutos, considerando o perfil individual e interesses dos participantes. A comparação inter e intragrupos ao longo do tempo foi analisada pelos testes Mann-Whintey e Wilcoxon Os resultados indicam melhorias da capacidade funcional, aptidão física, comportamento adaptativo, competências psicomotoras e QdV, evidenciando a necessidade de intervenções adequadas e regulares de AF com adultos com DID.
Article II: The positive and linear relation between physical activity (PA), functionality, health and quality of life (QOL) although evidence-base at international terms, still lacks of evidence in Portugal. Although motor competences are not an intellectual disability’ diagnosis criteria, they show a strong correlation with cognitive and functional development. Therefore, our goal is to analyze the effects of an PA program on adaptive behavior, motor proficiency and QOL of 8 adults, between 26 and 61 years (40±6.32), with intellectual disability, all institutionalized, aiming to provide further insight into the role PA plays in health, status of this subgroup. The instruments applied were the Portuguese versions of: Adaptive Behavior Scales, Personal Outcomes Scale, Bruininsky-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency and Fullerton scale. All measures were applied twice before the program (baseline), after the program (final) and one month after (retention). The baseline data allow the planning of an adjusted, 20-weeks program, with 2 sessions per week (of 50 minutes each). Intra and intergroup comparison were analyzed through Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. Results showed improvements in some adaptive domains, fitness and functional capacity, psychomotor competences and QOL of the participants. Our findings call for tailor-made interventions to improve PA levels among adults with intellectual disability.

Abstract:

RESUMO: Objectivo: O presente estudo tem como principal objectivo a caracterização da vulnerabilidade individual em pessoas idosas residentes na comunidade. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo não experimental, exploratório, quantitativo, e transversal numa amostra probabilística de aleatorização simples (n=213). A vulnerabilidade individual foi avaliada com recurso ao instrumento Vulnerable Elders Survey 13 e as restantes variáveis sócio-demográficas por questionário, ambas por via telefónica. Resultados: A amostra era predominantemente feminina, com uma maior prevalência das pessoas com 75 ou mais anos, viúvas, sem escolaridade, maioritariamente a viverem sós e mais de com um rendimento mensal igual ou inferior a 485€. Relativamente à vulnerabilidade, numa amostra aleatorizada de 213 pessoas, apenas 15 não apresentavam vulnerabilidade, avaliada pelo Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 (VES-13). Das 198 pessoas vulneráveis, correspondendo a 93% da amostra, 164, ou seja, 77% deste grupo, tinham uma pontuação total igual ou superior a 7 em 10, revelando um grau elevado de vulnerabilidade. Conclusão: As variáveis preditoras da vulnerabilidade são a idade, quanto maior a idade maior a vulnerabilidade, e o ser-se viúvo. As variáveis preditoras da dificuldade na realização das actividades físicas (AF) são a idade e pessoa isolada em alojamento colectivo. Para as actividades de vida diária (AVD), as variáveis que demostram ser preditoras são a idade, pessoa isolada em alojamento colectivo e residir em agregado familiar de casal de idosos.----------------------- ABSTRACT:Objective: The present study has as its principal objective the characterization of individual vulnerability in community-dwelling older people. Methodology: This is a non-experimental study, exploratory, qualitative, quantitative, and cross-sectional in a probabilistic sample of simple randomization (n=213). Individual vulnerability was assessed using the instrument Vulnerable Elders Survey 13 and the other socio-demographic variables by questionnaire, both by telephone. Results: the sample was predominantly female, with a higher prevalence of persons with 75 or more years, widows, without education, mostly living alone and most of all with less than or equal to 485€ per month. Concerning vulnerability, in a random sample of 213 people, only 15 doesn´t present vulnerability, evaluated by the Vulnerable Elders Survey-13 (VES-13). Of the 198 people vulnerable, accounting for 93% of the sample, 164, i.e. 77% of this group, had a total score equal to or greater than 7 in 10, revealing a high degree of vulnerability. Conclusion: The predictors of vulnerability are the age, where higher the age means greater vulnerability as well as being a widow. The predictors of the difficulty in physical activities are old age and isolated persons in collective accommodation. For the activities of daily life, the variables that demonstrate as being predictors are old age, isolated persons in collective accommodation and living in elderly couple.

Abstract:

Mental health professionals frequently participate in the disability application process. Standards and requirements for a finding of disability may vary considerably from one context to another. A disability carrier may request that a mental health professional perform an independent medical examination. This chapter discusses the concepts of work capacity, functional impairment, and disability as they apply to disability evaluations performed for the most common types of disability insurers (Social Security, workers’ compensation, and private insurers), as well as work-related evaluations involving the Americans with Disabilities Act, fitness for duty and return to work, and disability in the context of litigation. Ethical issues in performing disability evaluations are addressed, including differences in the roles of the treating clinician and the independent forensic evaluator and management of situations where the evaluator’s opinion differs from that of the claimant and the claimant’s attorney.

Abstract:

Spinocerebellar Ataxia (SCA) is an autosomal dominant disease with progressive decline towards functional capacity. Although studies had shown that there are various SCA types, physical medicine and rehabilitation approach would focus mostly on functional aspects in each individuals. Analysis through International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health would assist clinicians to identify activity and participation aspects of SCA, mostly revolves around mobility function. Good correlation of mobility with quality of life was also reported, and thus it is only natural that this becomes the main focus of rehabilitative intervention. Approximately one hour physical exercise session focusing on postural control and balance was proven to be effective in improving disease related measurement tool, functional capacity, and quality of life. These benefits could be improved through newer therapies such as exercise games and virtual reality, virtually creates a rapidly changing environment, thus providing training through anticipatory actions. It is speculated that neuroplasticity through self-recognition of errors are the main physiology of recovery in SCA. Finally, it could be seen that rehabilitation intervention remains to be a cornerstone in current ataxia therapy, with goals of achieving exercise gains while alleviating the natural functional decline of the disease.

Abstract Abstract: Good health is important for employment at older ages. However, little is known about how health-related functional abilities interact with occupational demands to shape work capacity. Using new data, we quantify individuals’ functional abilities, combine that information with occupation-specific ability requirements, and create new measures of individuals’ potential occupations and earnings. We find that average functional abilities, potential occupations, and potential earnings decline only slightly with age, indicating that many Americans maintain work capacity into their late 60s. Gaps in work capacity by race/ethnicity and gender are small, suggesting health is not a major driver of observed earnings disparities. However, gaps in work capacity by education are large and increase with age, suggesting diminished prospects for working longer among those with less education. Although work capacity among Black respondents improves across cohorts, today’s middle-aged white Americans have lower work capacity than those now at retirement age, suggesting rising rates of work disability as these cohorts age.

Abstract:

Intelligence is the general mental capacity that involves reasoning, planning, solving problems, thinking abstractly, comprehending complex ideas, learning efficiently, and learning from experience. Intellectual disability (previously termed “mental retardation”) shows significant cognitive deficits (IQ score of below 70, i.e., two standard deviations below the mean of 100 in the population) and also significant deficits in functional and adaptive skills. Individuals with intellectual disability meet with various challenges in every span of life. The chapter tries to highlight some of the areas that are related to the concerns for the people with intellectual disability.

Abstract:

The progressive ageing of populations leads to a high burden of elderly patients with cardiac disease and is associated with comorbidities, cognitive/psychological deterioration, disability, social deprivation, and frailty. All these conditions complicate the clinical course of cardiac disease and worsen the outcome. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR), as a multidisciplinary intervention, improves mortality, morbidity, re-hospitalization, physical function, and quality of life in adult patients after acute cardiac events. Older patients without clinical complexity can follow a CR programme slightly different from that for middle-aged patients, mainly based on aerobic training, with similar functional improvement. CR for elderly cardiac patients with comorbidities, sarcopenia, or frailty should be based mainly on strength exercise integrated with aerobic and balance training, but the most appropriate exercise programme has yet to be defined. Future studies should test whether interventions tailored to the presence and severity of frailty are effective in improving specific outcomes, with particular reference to functional capacity, physical function, health-related quality of life (HQoL), disability, frailty, hospitalization, and institutionalization.

Abstract:

Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability in the United States and the third most frequent cause of death, following diseases of the heart and cancer [1]. Of the more than 700,000 Americans who experience a stroke each year [1], two-thirds survive [2]. Currently there are more than five million stroke survivors in the U.S. [1], many of whom have long-term motor and sensory impairments, especially in the arm and hand [3]. Studies report that 69% of patients who were admitted to a rehabilitation unit following stroke have mild to severe upper extremity dysfunction [4], and only 14% to 16% of stroke survivors with initial upper extremity hemiparesis regained near-complete motor function [3,4]. Chronic deficits following stroke are especially prevalent in the hand and therefore diminish the capacity to grasp [5]. Hand grasp has great functional importance for performing activities of daily living. The impairment in grasping significantly lowers stroke survivors’ functional independence.
