Full textBackground Loss of the ability to independently perform tasks of basic ADL is a common problem in the care of institutionalized elderly. Loss of ADL function is a source of suffering and prolonged institutionalization. It is necessary to effectively counter the risks and develop the care a deeper insight of the experiences from patients with losses in their ADL function. Purpose To describe experiences of performing of ADL in hospital as described by institutionalized elderly with a loss of ADL function. Methods Qualitative interviews with eight elderly patients institutionalized at a Swedish university hospital. Results The participants had in general a positive opinion of the care they received and they felt that it improved the feeling of having lost some ADL function. They felt troubled about being dependent of someone else and getting help with private hygiene on the basis of its personal nature. The routines and the experience of stressed staff made the participants reluctant to make demands or ask for help. Conclusion The results of the study showed that there is a need to develop a person centered approach where patients at risk are identified and given opportunity to participate in the work to strengthen their ability to perform ADL independently.

CAPES
A insuficiência cardíaca (IC) é uma síndrome cardiovascular com impacto na saúde pública, leva a redução da capacidade funcional, limitando a execução de atividades de vida diária e de exercícios físicos. Considerada de grande importância, a capacidade funcional pode ser avaliada por uma variedade de instrumentos, tais como questionários e testes de campo, sendo o Teste de exercício cardiopulmonar considerado o padrão ouro. O Glittre ADL-Test, é um teste funcional submáximo que busca representar as atividades do cotidiano, uma vez que envolve um conjunto de tarefas comuns na vida diária. Esta dissertação está estruturada sob a forma de dois artigos originais. O primeiro artigo teve como objetivo avaliar e estabelecer um valor de diagnóstico para o Glittre ADL-Test em indivíduos adultos com Insuficiência Cardíaca, quando comparado ao padrão ouro. Foi realizado análise de acurácia do tempo de realização do Glittre ADL-Test em comparação com o VO2pico dado pelo TECP, utilizando o ponto de corte para o VO2pico de 16 ml/Kg/min a partir da classificação de Weber. O melhor ponto de corte encontrado foi de 258 segundos, com sensibilidade de 88,89% (IC 95%, 65,29-98,62) e especificidade de 70% (IC 95%, 45,72-88,11), com área sob a curva de 0,80 (IC 95% 0,66-0,94 e p 0,001). A prevalência encontrada no estudo para baixa capacidade funcional (VO2pico < 16 ml/Kg/min-1) foi de 47,3%, e para um TTotal maior que 258 segundos encontramos VPP de 72,73% (IC 95%, 49,78-89,2) e VPN de 87,50% (IC 95%, 61,65-98,4). A RV positiva para o ponto de corte de 258 segundos foi de 2,96 (IC 95% 1,49-5,90), e a RV negativa foi de 0,16 (IC 95% 0,04-0,60), resultando em um pós-teste positivo de 73% e negativo de 12%. O segundo artigo teve como objetivo investigar se o tempo necessário para realização do Glittre ADL-Test varia de acordo com a classificação de Weber para o VO2 pico, e sua correlação com a força muscular respiratória, função pulmonar e mobilidade diafragmática. O tempo médio de realização do Glittre ADLTest foi de 286,5 segundos, houve diferença significativa entre as classes A (254,1 segundos) e C (324 segundos) de Weber (p<0,05). O Glittre ADL-Test mostrou correlações significativas com a PImáx (r=-0,445 – p<0,01), com a PEmáx (r=-0,531 – p<0,01) e com a mobilidade diafragmática (r=-0,361 – p<0,05). Vinte e oito pacientes realizaram um segundo teste, na análise de reprodutibilidade, o ICC encontrado foi de 0,76 (IC 95% 0,17-0,91) e p<0,01. Conclusão: Os valores de sensibilidade, especificidade, VPP e VPN, mostraram que o Glittre ADL-Test é acurado na avaliação da capacidade funcional de pacientes com IC. É útil e pode ser usado na prática clínica, pois também se mostrou capaz de refletir a performance funcional destes indivíduos e apresentou correlação com a força muscular respiratória e mobilidade diafragmática.
Heart failure (HF) is a cardiovascular syndrome with enormous impact on public health, leading to reduced functional capacity in terms of both physical limitations to activities of daily living as well as the implementation of physical exercises. Considered of great importance, functional capacity can be assessed by a variety of instruments such as questionnaires and field tests, and cardiopulmonary exercise test considered the gold standard. The Glittre ADL-Test is a submaximal functional test that seeks to represent the daily activities, since it involves a set of common tasks in everyday life. This paper is structured in the form of two original articles. The first article was to evaluate and establish a diagnostic value for the Glittre ADL-Test in adults with heart failure when compared to the gold standard was carried out accuracy analysis of the Glittre ADLTest performance time compared to the data peak VO2 CPX by using the cutoff point for the peak VO2 of 16 ml/kg/min from the Weber classification. The best cutoff point was of 258 second, with a sensitivity of 88.89% (95% CI 65.29 to 98.62) and a specificity of 70% (95% CI 45.72 to 88.11) with an area under the curve of 0.80 (95% CI 0.66 to 0.94 and p 0.001). The prevalence found in the study to low functional capacity (peak VO2 <16 ml / kg / min) was 47.3%, and for TTotal greater than 258 seconds found PPV of 72.73% (95% CI, 49, 78 to 89.2) and VPN 87.50% (95% CI, 61.65 to 98.4). The positive LR to the cutoff point of 258 seconds, it was 2.96 (95% CI 1.49 to 5.90) and the negative LR was 0.16 (95% CI 0.04 to 0.60) resulting in a positive post-test of 73% and negative 12%. The second study aimed to investigate whether the time required to perform the Glittre ADL-Test varies according to Weber's rating for the peak VO2, and its correlation with respiratory muscle strength, pulmonary function and diaphragmatic mobility. The mean duration of the Glittre ADL-Test was 286.5 seconds there was a significant difference between the classes (254.1 seconds) and C (324 seconds) Weber (p <0.05). The Glittre ADL-Test showed significant correlations with MIP (r=-0.445 - p <0.01), with the MEP (r = -0.531 - p <0.01) and diaphragmatic mobility (r=-0.361 - p <0.05). Twenty-eight patients underwent a second test, the reproducibility of analysis, the ICC found was 0.76 (95% CI 0.17 to 0.91) and p <0.01. Conclusion: The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV, showed that the Glittre ADLTest is accurate in assessing the functional capacity of patients with HF. It is useful and can be used in clinical practice, he was also able to reflect the functional performance of these individuals and correlated with respiratory muscle strength and diaphragmatic mobility.

Full textBackground: Hip fracture among elderly is a common reason for patient admission to orthopedic wards. Being treated in a hospital as an elderly patient is associated with adverse health effects, as it affects their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL). ADL is fundamental for patients to manage at home without support from caregivers. During hospitalization this ability needs to be assessed in order to create the right nursing measures to maintain the patients ADL, as well as strive for these activities to be performed independently. Aim: Identify which measures can promote elderly patients to maintain ADL after undergoing hip surgery. Method: A general literature study was used to answer the purpose. Results: The results are comprised of four themes: "Early mobilization", "Person-centered rehabilitation", "Support for optimizing nutrient intake” and “The usage of measuring instruments”. To examine ADL, several measurement scales were used that provided information about the patient's starting point and the effect of rehabilitation. Patients who were mobilized early after surgery had a reduced risk of complications and thus the patient had a greater opportunity to regain their personal ADL ability. Well-trained staff provided person-centered care and clear information, which meant that the rehabilitation plan is followed. Additional information about the patient's nutritional intake needed to be obtained in order to optimize rehabilitation, as the patients suffered from insufficient nutritional supply. Conclusion: To help the patient to maintain ADL during the care period, continuous person-centered information from the care staff is needed, when the staff is well trained, there is a better opportunity for patient involvement. This can encourage the nursing measures to be performed and followed by the patient. Nutritional intake needs to be identified and observed in order for the patient to get enough nutrition and get the most out of the rehabilitation.

Full textI detta kandidatexamensarbete behandlas utvecklingen och konstruktionen av ett mjukt exoskelett för den mänskliga handen. Syftet med projektet är att undersöka vilken typ av exoskelett som passar bäst för att hjälpa användaren med aktiviteter i det dagliga livet, samt hur detta exoskelett kan konstrueras för att förstärka greppet i handen. Prototypen ska även vara bärbar och inte skada användaren. Den nödvändiga teorin presenteras, följt av konstruktionen av den slutgiltiga prototypen. Syftet med projektet uppfylls och resulterar i ett flexibelt, portabelt och säkert exoskelett som kan hjälpa användaren med aktiviteter i det dagligalivet. Dock är denna prototyp begränsad till att endast inkludera styrning av tummen och pekfingret, och prototypenkan således i framtida arbeten utvecklas till att inkludera samtliga fem fingrar på den mänskliga handen.

Full textAbstract As one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, Australia has a high proportion of minority communities. However, its ageing population, particularly within these ethnic minorities, faces a range of barriers or difficulties in gaining access to and using health and aged care services. This study aims to identify the acculturation factors that affect the health status of Iranian-born elderly immigrants to Australia and their utilisation of health and community aged care services. The results of this study will be of value to Iranian elders, their families, and Australian aged health care service providers. The findings could also contribute towards enriched multicultural policy and improved social fairness, access to services, and equity for the aged from different ethnic backgrounds. 302 Iranian migrants aged 65 years who had lived in the Sydney Metropolitan area for at least six months were surveyed via a written questionnaire, face-to-face interviews, and telephone interviews. The results were analysed using SPSS and then compared to the findings from a 1999 survey of NSW elderly. The results indicate that Iranian migrants suffer higher levels of psychological distress and are more limited in their physical functioning than the general population of older Australians. They are in greater need of assistance with activities of daily living, have a lower sense of wellbeing, and are far less likely to utilise aged care services. Iranian migrant who do not speak English at home experience these disadvantages to an even greater extent English language proficiency was the only acculturation factor found to affect whether Iranian elderly utilised health and community aged care services, while ability to engage in activities of daily living (ADL) was the only health variable associated with their utilisation of community supportive aged care services. This variable did not predict the use of community aged care services in the broader sample of NSW respondents. Since limited proficiency in English placed elderly Iranian migrants at greater health risk and impeded their access to necessary assistance, the findings suggest that they would clearly benefit from English classes and from access to health and community care services and information regarding these services in the Farsi language.

Full textO Activities daily living questionnaire - ADLQ foi elaborado para avaliar atividades b?sicas e instrumentais em pacientes com a doen?a de Alzheimer. O objetivo principal deste estudo consistiu em realizar a tradu??o do ADLQ para a l?ngua portuguesa, adapta??o transcultural e an?lise das suas propriedades psicom?tricas. A amostra foi composta por 60 pacientes e os respectivos 60 cuidadores. O estudo iniciou-se com a tradu??o do instrumento pela t?cnica de retrotradu??o associada ao m?todo bil?ng?e. A vers?o traduzida foi respondida pelo cuidador e o Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) aplicado ao paciente. A an?lise psicom?trica foi realizada atrav?s da validade das medidas do instrumento. Os resultados verificaram uma correla??o inversamente significativa (r=-0,793;p<0,05) entre os instrumentos avaliados, com uma explica??o da vari?ncia total de 62%. A coer?ncia interna do instrumento foi realizada atrav?s da correla??o com os resultados do MEEM sugerindo uma vers?o condensada do ADLQ. Avaliando-se atrav?s do teste t para amostras correlacionadas, as m?dias do ADLQ-vers?o traduzida e vers?o condensada n?o apresentaram diferen?as significativas, demonstrado assim que a simplifica??o do instrumento n?o alterou os valores do n?vel de depend?ncia funcional observados. A an?lise fatorial realizada atrav?s da rota??o Varimax indicou seis dimens?es. Atividades como; comer, vestir-se, banho, necessidades fisiol?gicas, tomar comprimidos, participa??o em grupos, administrar finan?as, manusear dinheiro, locomover pela vizinhan?a, usar telefone, compreens?o, dentre outras, s?o os mais importantes preditores da capacidade funcional, no grupo estudado. Atividades com desempenho pouco comum a ambos os sexos, e no desempenho de pap?is sociais enquanto g?nero na sociedade brasileira (afazeres dom?sticos, consertos e manuten??o em casa), na amostra estudada, n?o demonstraram ter import?ncia na determina??o da capacidade funcional com o paciente com a Doen?a de Alzheimer. O presente estudo disponibiliza uma nova ferramenta de avalia??o funcional, visando contribuir para a mensura??o mais cuidadosa do estado funcional do paciente por todos os profissionais da ?rea da sa?de

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by systemic manifestations that result in significant limitation of functional capacity and hence the individual's ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs). Objective: to investigate the physiological response induced by the Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) and to compare with the physiological response induced by the six-minute walk (6MWT) in patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. Methods: 15 patients with COPD aged 66 ± 8 years and with forced expiratory volume in one second of 40.0 ± 18.3% predicted were evaluated. Patients underwent spirometry before and after bronchodilator, anthropometric and body composition, London Chest Activity of Daily Living scale (LCADL) and Medical Research Council (MRC). On two different days, separated by one week, two exercise protocols were performed in random order: 6MWT and TGlittre. Patients had also their physical activity in daily life (AFVD) monitored on two consecutive days. The Shapiro-Wilk test of normality was used to assess data distribution. To compare the physiological response between 6MWT and TGlittre was used the paired t test or Wilcoxon. The coefficient of Pearson or Spearman was used to verify the association between variables. The level of significance was 5%. Results: The time spent in TGlittre correlated with the distance walked on 6MWT (r= -0.82, p <0.01). Patients spent 52.9 ± 13.9% of the monitored time in sitting position, 19.6 ± 5.7% standing, 14.6 ± 12.4% lying and 12.9 ± 4.7% of the time walking The time in sitting position was correlated with both the performance in TGlittre and in 6MWT (r= 0.56 and r = -0.60, respectively, p <0.05). There were no differences between the physiological parameters measured at baseline of TGlittre and 6MWT (p>0.05). Patients achieved a VO2 of 1258.2 ± 317.8 and 1176.5 ± 364.8 ml/min at the end of TGlittre and 6MWT, respectively (p> 0.05). The VO2 showed a plateau from the third lap in TGlittre and from the third minute in 6MWT. The VO2 measured at the end of TGlittre correlated with the VO2 measured at the end of 6MWT (r= 0.85, p <0.01). All physiological variables measured at the end of TGlittre were similar and correlated with those measured at the end of 6MWT. Conclusions: TGlittre is able to induce a metabolic, respiratory and cardiovascular response similar to those induced by TC6min.
A doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) caracteriza-se por manifestações sistêmicas significativas que resultam na limitação da capacidade funcional e consequentemente, na capacidade do indivíduo de realizar as suas atividades de vida diária (AVD). Objetivo: investigar a resposta fisiológica induzida pelo teste de AVD-Glittre (TGlittre) bem como comparar à induzida pelo teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6min) em pacientes com DPOC. Método: participaram 15 pacientes com DPOC com idade de 66 ± 8 anos e volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo de 40,0 ± 18,3% do previsto. Os pacientes foram submetidos à espirometria pré e pós broncodilatador, avaliação antropométrica e de composição corporal, escala London Chest Activity of Daily Living (LCADL) e Medical Research Council (MRC). Em dois dias diferentes, separados por uma semana, dois protocolos de exercício foram realizados em ordem randomizada: TC6min e TGlittre. Os pacientes realizaram ainda a monitoração das atividades físicas na vida diária (AFVD) em dois dias consecutivos. O teste de normalidade Shapiro-Wilk foi utilizado para avaliar a distribuição dos dados. Para comparar a resposta fisiológica entre o TGlittre e o TC6min foi utilizado o teste T pareado ou Wilcoxon. O coeficiente de correlação de Pearson ou Spearman foi utilizado para verificar a associação entre as variáveis. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: o tempo despendido no TGlittre correlacionou-se com a distância percorrida no TC6min (r= -0,82; p<0,01). Os pacientes permaneceram 52,9 ± 13,9% do tempo monitorado na posição sentada, 19,6 ± 5,7% em pé, 14,6 ± 12,4% deitados e 12,9 ± 4,7% do tempo caminhando. O tempo sentado correlacionou-se tanto com o desempenho no TGlittre como no TC6min (r= 0,56 e r= -0,60, respectivamente; p<0,05). Não foram observadas diferenças entre os parâmetros fisiológicos basais mensurados no TGlittre e no TC6min (p>0,05). Os pacientes atingiram um VO2 de 1258,2 ± 317,8 e 1176,5 ± 364,8 ml/min ao final do TGlittre e do TC6min, respectivamente (p>0,05). O VO2 estabilizou-se a partir da terceira volta no TGlittre e do terceiro minuto no TC6min. O VO2 final do TGlittre correlacionou-se com o VO2 final do TC6min (r= 0,85; p<0,01). Todas as variáveis fisiológicas mensuradas no final do TGlittre foram similares e apresentaram correlação com as mensuradas no final do TC6min. Conclusões: o TGlittre é capaz de induzir uma resposta metabólica, ventilatória e cardiovascular similares às induzidas pelo TC6min.

Full textThe overall aim was to study and gain knowledge about what it means to live with muscular dystrophy and to study rehabilitation from the patient's perspective, among adults with muscular dystrophy in three Swedish counties: Örebro, Östergötland and Norrbotten. The thesis comprises two qualitative and three quantitative studies. Thirty interviews about illness experience were subjected to content analysis and 37 interviews about perceived support in rehabilitation were analysed according to phenomenological guidelines. Data were also collected by the Assessment of Problem-focused Coping (APC), the ADL Staircase, the Self-report ADL, the Mental Adjustment to Cancer Scale, the Sickness Impact Profile, the Psychosocial well-being questionnaire and the Quality of Life Profile. The APC was developed for assessment of problem-focused coping and also covers questions concerning the extent to which activities are experienced as problems and satisfaction with activities. The result shows that the experience of illness is largely similar in the three diagnostic groups (proximal MD, Myotonic muscular dystrophy, Myopathia distalis tarda hereditaria). The persons reported many restrictions of everyday activities, most often in mobility and transportation. Over half were dependent on other people in activities of daily living, and the illness was experienced mainly as having negative consequences for everyday life. A lower quality of life may be partly explained by a reduced capacity for activities. Problem-focused coping was used only to a limited extent, and 'Fighting spirit' was the dominant coping strategy. Rehabilitation was experienced as very valuable, particularly the education about the muscle disease, technical aids, grants and physical training. Over a five-year period, disability and quality of life of the study participants deteriorated significantly, and the dependence on other people increased.
