Pełny tekst źródłaThis study addresses the situation of adults who become deafblind. To date, their everday lives have received little attention in the research literature. Of the few studies conducted many involve surveys, the findings of which present the characteristics of people who are deafblind such as their rates of employment, need for support, or use of equipment. There are also a small number of qualitative studies that have explored the effects of having dual sensory impairment, and particularly in relation to communication and psycho-social wellbeing. Important as these research efforts have been, there is little empirical information available about the everyday lives of people who become deafblind and their concerns, nor any systematic attempt to theorise their experiences. There are however many personal anecdotes typically presented at conferences or through community publications and newsletters. This project aimed to redress the gap in the literature by developing a theoretical framework to explain the everyday experiences of adult who become deafblind. In doing so, it built upon the research and anecdotal literature with an overall purpose of presenting, through rigorous research, the experiences of adults who become deafblind and to do so within the broader discourse on disability and disablism. The study was informed by the social relational understanding of disability developed within the Nordic countries. Grounded theory was the method of choice to examine the lives of adults who become deafblind from their own perspective.Participant observation was employed through direct engagement in shared experiences with adults who have become deafblind both at a social group and via an e-mail list group. Mulitple in-depth interviews were undertaken both face to face and by e-mail with a smaller group of eight participants.The core finding from this study is that people who become deafblind are rendered interactionally powerless in a society predicated on seeing and hearing. The powerlessness that they experience comes from having this dual impairment in a world in which being able to see and hear are expected both in the physical and social environment. The inability of people who become deafblind to 'know and be' in the world in the same way as others results in them feeling, and experienceing, interactional powerlessness. In response, people who become deafblind actively engage in trying to minimise or remove their powerlessness. They do so by working to negotiate a place in this hostile world. They adopt four interrelated strategies, namely, doing things differently, managing support relationships, survivings others' perceptions and presenting sides of self.This study, with its central tenet that interactional powerlessness drives ongoing attempts to negotiate a place makes a theoretical contribution to understanding the experience of becoming deafblind. The findings support the concept of disbaility as social relational. Disability is not the same as the sensory impairment, rather it is expressed in the organisation of personal relations in society which render some more powerful than others and in this case, some less powerful due to their inability to use the natural means of communication of hearing and sight. Moreover, the study findings propose that professionals working with people with this dual sensory impairment must endeavour to reduce their part in the hostile world by providing information about options and support available; recognising the complexity of these adults support requirements; and considering the link between psycho-emotional issues and disablism. Further research is needed to understand empirically and theoretically the relative contribution of personal relationships vis a vis organisational or structural relationships in disabling people who become deafblind.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe objective of this work is to analyze a discursive field of practices that grants deafness a status of linguistic and cultural particularity. For this purpose, ethnographic research was conducted in spaces characterized by the presence of gestural-visual communication systems normalized in the form of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). Research on historical aspects regarding deafness and integral disciplinary forms of LIBRAS was also undertaken. Following the course of deaf leaders in varied spaces was crucial in revealing a normativity in which deafness is affirmed and performed in terms of language and culture. At the same time, tensions, disputes and struggles are formed around this normativity. Identifying categories, such as deaf culture and deaf community, are constantly mobilized by professionals that act in defense of LIBRAS and are referenced primarily in terms of subjects classified as deaf. Ultimately, it was determined that deaf leaders occupy a prominent position in acting as spokespeople for the linguistic collective of LIBRAS speakers.

Pełny tekst źródłaThe objective of this thesis was to identify the orientations and strategies used with families at home visits that have helped their children with deafblindness or with multiple sensory impairment to develop skills in daily living activities. The theoretical basis refer to the characterization of the person with deafblindness and multiple sensory impaired, their difficulties with communication and participation; to the methodologies that guide the evaluation and organization of educational programs; to the characterization and needs of the families; to programs based on daily living activities. The participants were two students and their mothers enrolled in the Home Visit & Supported Families Program (Program AD & FA), of Ahimsa. The criteria to select the participants were: similarities in the characteristics due to etiology of the disability, Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) and behavior alterations caused by the late manifestations of the CRS; similarity of age group, young adults between 22 and 23 years old. To data collection there were performed 10 home visits to each family in the period of February to September 2009, in which daily living skills activities were developed and observations reports were made; towards the end of the visits semi-structured interviews were carried out with the mothers. The strategies that promoted the participation of the student were listed and the factors that either contributed or made difficult for mothers to promote or not the strategies, through analysis of the data collected in five steps: 1) creation of the tables to record behavior/participation and the communicative behaviors of students in the activities at the first home visit; 2) creation of the tables to record behavior/participation and the communicative behaviors of students in the activities at the last home visit; 3) discussion on the differences, evolution and other variations (presented in the participations and in communication, as well as in the acquisition of independence and autonomy) in the execution of activities, based on the tables of steps 1 and 2 and on the observations reports of the home visits; 4) analysis of reports and interview of the mothers pointing out the needs and expectations raised, the strategies that were used by the mothers that have improved the participation and communication of the students and the factors that led families to implement or not the strategies; 5) reflections on the data of the discussion from step 3 and the similarities and differences with the analysis of step 4. Data analysis showed the benefits in communication and participation of students in the daily living activities proposed during the home visits and day-by-day, in addition, it has showed which strategies brought better results during the performance of the activities and helped improve the participation of the students, as the adoption and use by mothers of: routine implementation and maintenance of sequences in the activities, organization of the activities done, organization of materials used, systematization and implementation of means of expressive and receptive communication. The research pointed out difficulties of families, to implement some orientations and strategies, due to matters related to health conditions and challenging behaviors of their children. The short period of time of the home visits, only 10 sessions, and the number of only two young adults and their mothers were limitations found in this research, pointing out the need to carry on with the studies with more data, more participants and more time for the research. Nevertheless, the researcher proposes to divulge these data through publications, 12 considering the lack of systematized and analyzed data on home visits of people with deafblindness and multiple sensory impairment.

Nas últimas décadas a Educação Inclusiva tem ganhado evidência por meio dos movimentos sociais, com várias conquistas de garantias legais que acenam com a possibilidade para uma melhoria na sua condição social, de estudo e de acessibilidade. Entretanto, as leis por si só, não são garantia de que seus direitos sejam respeitados, se esses direitos não forem trabalhados pela Educação. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo estudar as espécies olerículas para uso em horta sensorial, como apoio a formação continuada de professores que trabalham com alunos “normais” e com deficiência visual. Este estudo foi realizado no período de março a novembro /2014 em Cáceres – MT, na Escola Estadual Dr. José Rodrigues Fontes, uma escola da rede estadual de ensino que trabalha na perspectiva da Educação Inclusiva. Para fazer o experimento com as plantas foi implantada uma horta suspensa para o cultivo das hortaliças e, posteriormente, realizou-se a avaliação sensorial para conhecer o status afetivo. Nessa avaliação os colaboradores (cegos) faziam uma análise criteriosa de todas as estruturas morfológicas e da arquitetura das plantas, depois baseado nos escores da escala hedônica atribuíam os conceitos. Os resultados foram favoráveis, pois das 17 plantas avaliadas, 14 tiveram os conceitos máximo (gostei muito) e 03 o conceito gostei, baseado nesses conceitos pode-se concluir que todas as plantas despertaram a sensação de prazer nas pessoas. Ainda como resultado, foi construído um Guia Pedagógico como material didático com sugestões de atividades pedagógicas para o ensino de ciências utilizando das técnicas da ilustração científica para alunos videntes e, para alunos cegos foi construído pranchas em relevo das estruturas morfológicas das plantas e avaliadas pelos alunos com deficiência visual. Consideramos que os resultados foram favoráveis no que se refere às plantas avaliadas e servirão de subsídio para os professores no ensino de ciências voltados a trabalhar os conceitos da botânica, especialmente, aos trabalhos relacionados às estruturas morfológicas das plantas para os alunos da Educação Inclusiva.
In recent decades, inclusive education has gained evidence through social movements with various achievements of legal guarantees waving with the possibility for an improvement in their social status, study and accessibility. However, laws alone are no guarantee that their rights are respected, if these rights are not worked for Education. This research aimed to study the greenery species for use in sensory garden to support the continuing education of teachers who work with students 'normal' and visually impaired. This study was carried out from March to November/2014 in municipality of Cáceres, Mato Grosso State; in a state school Dr. José Rodrigues Fontes a state school education working in the perspective of inclusive education. To make the experiment with plants was implemented a garden suspended for the cultivation of vegetables and later held the sensory evaluation to know the effective status. In this evaluation employees (blind) made a careful analysis of all morphological structures and plant architecture, then based on the scores of hedonic scale attributed the concepts. The results were favorable because of the 17 plants evaluated, 14 had the maximum concepts enjoyed and liked the concept 03, based on these concepts can be concluded that all plants have awakened the feeling of pleasure in people. Also as a result, a pedagogical guide was built as teaching material with suggestions of educational activities for teaching science using the techniques of scientific illustration for seers students and for blind students was built planks in relief of morphological structures of plants and evaluated by students visually impaired. We believe that the results were favorable with respect to the evaluated plants and will inform teachers in science education aimed at working the concepts of botany, especially the work related to morphological structures of plants for the students of inclusive education.

Pełny tekst źródłaEhlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is the clinical manifestation of hereditary connective tissue disorders, comprising several clinical forms. The EDS hypermobility type (EDSh) is characterized by generalized joint hypermobility and variable skin hyperextensibility, which both generate somatosensory impairment. Somatosensory system is, together with visual and vestibular systems, crucially involved in sensorimotor system functioning. The aim of this work was to understand the impact of impaired proprioception on perceptive and sensorimotor mechanisms underlying postural control in EDSh patients. Evaluation of postural control was structured around two approaches. The first one was indirect, and evaluated the sensory mechanism underlying vertical perception. The second one was direct, and used detailed stabilometric analyses to investigate postural control.The first objective of this work was to evaluate how somatosensory impairment affects the contribution of spatial frame of reference (allocentric, egocentric, and geocentric) to visual vertical perception. Two types of tests were conducted to assess the vertical perception with and without visual information (Rod and Frame Test, RFT; Subjective visual vertical, SVV). These two studies showed that somatosensory impairment reduces the contribution of egocentric frame of reference (body axis) to vertical perception. In response, patients increase their visual field dependence, and thus, use preferentially allocentric frame of reference. The second axis aimed to identify sensory strategies adopted by these patients and their repercussion on postural regulation mechanisms. To investigate this question, a thorough postural assessment was conducted, using sensory perturbation and dual-task paradigm, and linear and non-linear analyses. We observed that somatosensory impairment impacts muscular proprioceptive contribution to automatic regulation mechanism involved in postural control. These modifications in postural regulation induce an increase of active monitoring of postural sway. In response, EDSh patients develop a visual dependence, and produce adaptive strategies based on stiffening of corrective mechanisms acting in long term. Finally, two pilot studies were conducted to test the impact of proprioceptive remediation, somatosensory orthoses and sensorimotor rehabilitation program, on postural control of these patients. Both of these two therapeutic solutions seem to induce a beneficial effect on postural control. This effect is reflected by an improvement of postural stability when patients wore somatosensory orthoses, and an enhancement of postural efficiency in response to sensorimotor rehabilitation. However, results also indicate that the immediate effect induced by orthotic device of somatosensory substitution is limited, because it did not help to decrease visual dependency. Hence, these observations allowed us to identify the postural regulation specificities in EDSh patients, and, in a preliminary way, to observe how they change in response to therapeutic solutions based on sensory remediation

Pełny tekst źródłaThis PhD dissertation focuses on the ways and means of the museum experience for visitors with visual or hearing deficiencies. For that matter, the aim is to grasp both the cultural mediation systems, the welcoming apparatus proposed by museums but also the experience lived by the visitors. This allows to touch upon the discourses then carried out regarding accessibility and difference. A field work was carried out in the museums of the region Île-de-France and through interviews with people with disabilities. The main objective was to bring out the way in which museums, through the devices they propose and by the discourses they carry and relay on accessibility, organize and reveal at the same time the social treatment of disability. Museums can be considered frameworks for analysis and for understanding identity trajectories, since the social processes giving a place and an identity to people are strongly perceptible in this institution. Moreover, the sensitive connection to environment and, in this case to the exhibits, is also conditioned by the museum. It therefore contributes to establish a self-image for the visitor, and thus to structure the visitor's journey. In addition, by also highlighting the ability of individuals to seize these elements to develop their identity trajectories, this work highlights the responsibility of the museum as an institution, which participates in the construction of social and personal identities

Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo com uma abordagem quase experimental, cujo objetivo geral foi analisar os efeitos das atividades psicomotoras para o equilíbrio em idosos com distúrbio cognitivo leve e os objetivos específicos foram identificar o déficit psicomotor nos idosos com Déficit Cognitivo Leve utilizando a Escala Motora para a Terceira Idade (EMTI) e a Escala de Tinetti; implementar atividades e exercícios psicomotores para o idoso com Déficit Cognitivo Leve visando a melhora dos fatores psicomotores com ênfase ao equilíbrio e marcha; comparar as condições psicomotoras dos idosos com Déficit Cognitivo Leve antes e após a implementação de atividades e exercícios psicomotores. A pesquisa foi realizada em um período de 4 (quatro) meses, com início em abril de 2014 e término em julho de 2014. Os sujeitos do estudo foram 43 idosos de duas instituições públicas, na faixa etária entre 64 a 88 anos, 86,04% do sexo feminino. O estudo desenvolveu metas que foram cumpridas de acordo com a Teoria do Alcance de Metas de Imogene King. Foi aplicado o MEEM (Mini Exame do Estado Mental) em todos os idosos para avaliação da memória. Para avaliar os parâmetros motores foi utilizada a Escala Motora para Terceira Idade (EMTI) e para avaliar o Equilíbrio e a Marcha, a Escala de Tinetti; foi utilizado também o Diário de Quedas do Idoso. As escalas foram aplicadas antes e após a implementação das atividades psicomotoras, que foram realizadas durante 10 (dez) sessões. Nos resultados, utilizou-se do software estatístico SAS versão 9.3.1, tal que primeiramente realizou-se uma análise descritiva dos dados, dividindo em primeira medida (primeira avaliação) e segunda medida (segunda avaliação). A avaliação do MEEM mostrou 15 (quinze), 34,88%, dos idosos avaliados apresentaram sinais sugestivos de déficit cognitivo. Resultados relacionados ao desempenho dos idosos nos parâmetros motores Motricidade Fina, Organização Espacial e Organização temporal, tanto na primeira como na segunda medidas apresentaram bons resultados e ficaram na classificação normal médio da EMTI. No entanto, na primeira avaliação, os parâmetros Motricidade Global, obteve média de 34,88 pontos, equivalente a classificação muito inferior; o Esquema Corporal com média de 76,46 pontos correspondeu a classificação inferior; e também o Equilíbrio com média de 79,81 pontos ficou na classificação inferior. Estes resultados corresponderam aos resultados do Equilíbrio e Marcha da Escala de Tinetti, que apresentou 22 (51,16%) idosos com média de 17,22 pontos e ficaram, segundo a escala, com alto risco para quedas. Os resultados destas escalas foram corroborados com os resultados do Diário de Quedas dos Idosos, onde 26 (60,47%) idosos sofreram 52 quedas, sendo que 33 (63,46%) quedas ocorreram por desequilíbrios e 31 (59,62%) quedas foram na rua. Na segunda avaliação após as atividades implementadas, os idosos apresentaram melhores resultados com mudança da classificação de acordo com os escores, exceto a Motricidade Global, que permaneceu na classificação muito inferior. No entanto, o Esquema Corporal mudou para a classificação normal baixo com média de 86,93 pontos, o Equilíbrio mudou da classificação inferior para normal médio com média de 92,37 pontos. O Equilíbrio e marcha da Escala de Tinetti apresentou aumento em seus escores e a maioria dos idosos, 28 (65,11%), ficaram com risco moderado para quedas segundo a escala. Concluiu-se com os resultados na segunda medida, que as metas foram alcançadas e a hipótese de que o exercício de estimulação psicomotora favorece o equilíbrio de idosos com distúrbio cognitivo leve foi confirmada
This is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental approach, whose general objective was to analyze the effects of psychomotor activities for balance in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment and specific objectives were to identify the psychomotor deficit in the elderly with mild cognitive deficit using the Scale motor for the Elderly (EMTI) and the Tinetti scale; implement activities and psychomotor exercises for the elderly with Mild Cognitive Deficit aimed at improving the psychomotor factors with emphasis on balance and gait; compare psychomotor conditions of elderly people with Mild Cognitive Deficit before and after the implementation of activities and psychomotor exercises. The survey was conducted over a period of four (4) months, starting in April 2014 and ending in July 2014. The study subjects were 43 elderly two public institutions, aged between 64 and 88 years, 86, 04% female. The study developed goals that were performed in accordance with the Scope of the Theory of Imogene King Goals. The MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) in all the elderly to assess memory was applied. To evaluate the motor parameters we used the Motor Scale for the Elderly (EMTI) and to assess the balance and the March, the Tinetti Scale; we used the Elderly Falls Journal. The scales were applied before and after the implementation of psychomotor activities, which were performed for 10 (ten) sessions. In the results, we used the SAS statistical software version 9.3.1, such that first carried out a descriptive analysis of data, sharing in a first step (first evaluation) and second measurement (second evaluation). The assessment of the MMSE was 15 (fifteen), 34.88% of the sample respectively showed signs suggestive of cognitive impairment. Results related to the performance of the elderly in the parameters Motricity Thin engines, Space Organization and temporal organization, both in the first and second measurements showed good results and were in the normal average rating of EMTI. However, the first evaluation, the Global Kinetics parameters obtained an average of 34.88 points, equivalent to much lower rating; the Body Scheme averaging 76.46 points corresponded to a lower classification; and also the balance with an average of 79.81 points was in a lower classification. These results corresponded to the results of Balance and Gait Tinetti Scale, which showed 22 (51.16%) elderly with an average of 17.22 points and were, according to the scale at high risk for falls. The results of these scales were corroborated by the results of the Seniors' Falls Gazette, where 26 (60.47%) elderly suffered 52 falls, of which 33 (63.46%) decreases occurred by imbalances and 31 (59.62%) falls were in the street. In the second evaluation after the implemented activities, the elderly showed better results with rating change according to the scores, except the Global Mobility, which remained much lower rating. However, the Body Scheme moved to low normal rating with an average of 86.93 points, the balance changed the lower rating for average normal with an average of 92.37 points. The Balance and Gait Tinetti Scale showed an increase in their scores and most elderly, 28 (65.11%) were at moderate risk for falls under the scale. Concluded with the results in the second measure, which targets have been achieved and the hypothesis that the psychomotor stimulation exercise favors the balance of elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment was confirmed

Pełny tekst źródłaA presente dissertação foi desenvolvida a partir da necessidade de repensar o ensino de Geografia para alunos com deficiência visual no que tange ao conceito de paisagem. Para isso, o objetivo principal foi a criação de materiais didáticos sensoriais utilizando as experiências vividas pelos alunos do Instituto Benjamin Constant (IBC), na paisagem que estas compõem. Também foi necessária uma reflexão sobre a educação especial e inclusiva no mundo e no Brasil e hoje, particularmente no Brasil, com uma perspectiva inclusiva, pois a legislação teve um grande avanço. Apresentar o IBC e como este se organiza como centro de referência também foi de suma importância, uma vez que se faz necessário um resgate histórico do ensino de Geografia nessa instituição centenária e pioneira, visto que os primeiros materiais didáticos táteis utilizados no ensino desses alunos estavam ali. A metodologia utilizada pelos professores é um diferencial a partir do momento em que as diferentes linguagens são utilizadas para desenvolver o ensino de Geografia no IBC, e por meio de seus relatos possibilitou que esse conhecimento fosse apresentado e resgatado. A Geografia é construída a partir de situações de aprendizagem que vão além da sala de aula. Dessa forma, a utilização de recursos didáticos sensoriais irá somar no processo de ensino e aprendizagem, possibilitando a construção de uma paisagem multissensorial. Então, por meio de atividades sensoriais, foram construídos materiais que pudessem auxiliar os alunos na compreensão do conceito de paisagem e possibilitem a utilização dos sentidos. Para isso, o referencial teórico da pesquisa foi pautado em Tuan (2012) e Soler (1999), considerando acercar essa paisagem multissensorial. Assim, pensar uma educação geográfica significativa independente do aluno e da realidade que o cerca é muito importante na sociedade inclusiva.

Metodologia: Neste estudo participaram 22 indivíduos, do sexo feminino e masculino, com mais de 50 anos de idade e com diferentes condições visuais. Para avaliar as oscilações posturais, utilizou-se um sistema de centrais inerciais. Os participantes realizaram 5 testes de equilíbrio, tendo sido colocada uma venda a todos os participantes para retirar o estímulo visual. Resultados: A comparação entre o grupo DV e NV apenas revelou diferenças significativas no Tandem Preferido (Tandem Pre). Dos três componentes avaliados, o ântero-posterior foi o que registou mais oscilação. Conclusão: Os participantes com DV apresentam melhor equilíbrio no teste Tandem Pre. Para a amostra estudada, os testes de Tandem revelaram-se mais desafiantes na avaliação do equilíbrio em indivíduos com DV.
Aim: To evaluate balance in Visual Impairment (VI) and sighted (NV) people during the execution of different assessment tests and to verify if the applied tests were appropriate for the assessment of balance in subjects with VI. Methodology: The study included 22 individuals, both male and female, aged above 50 years and with different visual conditions. To assess postural oscillations, a inertial measurement system was used. Participants performed five balance tests, and all participants were blindfolded to remove the visual input. Results: The comparison between VI and NV groups showed significant differences in the Tandem Preferred (Tandem Pre). Between the three assessed components, the anteroposterior was the most unstable. Conclusions: VI participants evidenced better balance in the test Tandem Pre. In general, the Tandem tests revealed more challenging in the assessment of balance in VI individuals.

Pełny tekst źródłaBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: While it is well known that sensory impairment is indicative of poor outcome following stroke, we do not know its true prevalence nor do we understand how brain lesions influence sensory impairment or how sensory impairment influences functional status. The current project analyzed an existing de-identified database to address three specific aims: 1) To determine the prevalence of impairments of absolute and just noticeable difference sensory thresholds in chronic stroke, 2) To determine the relationship of specific lesion characteristics to impaired sensory thresholds in chronic stroke, and 3) To determine the correlation between impaired sensory thresholds and functional status in the chronic phase of stroke. METHODS: Absolute and just noticeable difference sensory thresholds were assessed for eleven perceptual continua spanning five sensory domains in 110 subjects (76 normal controls, 21 with right hemisphere lesions, 13 with left hemisphere lesions). Lesion volume and subtraction analysis were performed with the MRIcroN software. RESULTS: Subjects with right hemisphere lesions had a greater percentage of failures on threshold assessments that subjects with left hemisphere lesions (p=0.004) and normal control subjects (p<0.0001). Subjects with right hemisphere lesions had greater severity of impairment on threshold assessments than subjects with left hemisphere lesions (p=0.003) and normal control subjects (p<0.0001). Lesion volume was not correlated with impaired sensory thresholds, instead lesions of the caudate nucleus were common to subjects with a high percentage of failures on threshold assessments. Impaired sensory thresholds correlated with stroke severity as defined by the NIHSS (r=0.39, p<0.03) and transfer scores on the Barthel Index (r=-0.55, p=0.02).

Pełny tekst źródłaThe human central nervous system (CNS) can be subject to multiple dysfunctions. Potentially due to physical lesions (e.g.: spinal cord injuries, hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke) or to neurodegenerative disorders (e.g.: Parkinson’s disease), these deficiencies often result in major functional impairments throughout the years.As an alternative to usual therapeutic approaches, functional electrical stimulation (FES) of preserved muscles enables to assist individuals in executing functional movements in order to improve their daily life condition or to help enhancing rehabilitation process.Despite major technological advances in rehabilitation engineering, the complexity of the musculoskeletal system and the technological constraints associated have led to a very slow acceptance of neurorehabilitation technologies.To promote usability and adaptability, several approaches and algorithms were studied through this thesis and were experimentally validated in different clinical and pathological contexts, using low-cost wearable sensors combined to programmable stimulators to assess and control motion through a patient-centered approach

Pełny tekst źródłaThe number of people living with disabilities is rising with the ageing of the population, leading to an increased need in proxy' help (or from "third partie"). Preventive approaches to delay disability or increase disability-free life expectancy are needed. In that respect, it is essential to study proxies'role in ageing, to identify risk factors of disability, and to analyze the effect of combinations of risk factors on risk of disability.The first aim of this PhD thesis was to study the contribution of proxies in cohorts of older people. The second aim was to analyze the association between disability and cumulative sensory impairments or health behaviours.The study population consisted in a subpopulation of the E3N cohort of women born between 1925 and 1930. Data were self-reported and/or reported by a proxy. Disability was defined as a limitation in at least one of the eight instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) scale.Results supported the interest of proxy involvement in epidemiological studies, particularly in those dealing with ageing. Indeed, most proxies corroborated the perception of the elderly women about their ability to perform IADL. In the study of risk factors of disability, having a dual sensory impairment was associated with higher short-term incidence of disability. Moreover, not adhering to the recommendations in the five studied health behaviours was associated with an increased risk of disability ten years later, in a dose-dependent manner.This work contributes to highlight the usefulness of proxies in large epidemiological studies, and to enhance knowledge about risk factors of disability. It suggests tracks of targeted actions to improve the quality of life of older people, and to increase their disability-free life duration

Background: Sensory impairment include visual impairment, hearing impairment, and language impairment. Some of the learning processes affect their learning performance due to their impairment. The phenomenon of bullying has always been noteworthy in campus issues. It is pointed out that people who suffer from bullying will affect their mental health and life satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to understand whether the academic performance of adolescents with sensory impairment and post-graduation job / school transition will be affected by bullying experience. Objectives: (1) To understand the situation of bullied experience of adolescents with sensory impairment (2) to understand the effects of bullied experience on the academic performance of adolescents with sensory impairments of different grades (3) to understand the experience of bullied on job/school transition of the adolescents with sensory impairment. Methods: In this study, a longitudinal study design was conducted using the “Special Needs Education Longitudinal Study Database”(SNELS). The analysis of data from the 98, 100, and 101 years of the special education database will explore whether adolescents with sensory impairments suffer bullying at school, and whether their academic performance and job / school transition will be affected. Results: (1) Adolescents with sensory impairment have suffered more from relationship bullying and verbal bullying during high school. Their academic performance was more common than that of ordinary students; (2) the academic performance of adolescents suffering from physical bullying during the fist year of high school period and suffering relationship bullying during the third year of high school is poor; (3) the first grade of high school suffered from bullying has no significant effect on the status of transition after graduation, but sexual harassment during the third year resulted in a lower chance of a smooth transition. Conclusions: Adolescents with sensory impairment are generally poor in academic performance during high school, and suffer bullying experience, which will negatively affect their academic performance, and adversely affect their transition. Students with a good parent-child relationship haav a positive impact on academic performance; Students with better family incomes have lower chances of successful transition.

Among the aged population, the incident of cognitive impairment is rapidly increasing with age. Therefore, it is becoming an important issue in health care to provide relevant activities for elderly patients with cognitive impairment that can help moderate the negative impact of this disease. Earlier studies have shown the following two facts. Firstly, among the nursing home residents, the factor of age is significantly correlated with their cognitive and depressive symptoms and has an influence on their quality of life. Secondly, early detection of a patient’s cognitive impairment can lead to an early therapy or intervention with nonpharmacological (non-drug) treatment, which can help delay the degeneration of cognitive impairment and provide positive effects to the patient’s verbal and emotional expressions. Accordingly, this study is aimed at the investigation of how the use of sensory-stimulating group activities would improve the cognitive and depressive symptoms of nursing home residents with mild cognitive impairment. This study is based on a pre-test and post-test experiment with the participation and cooperation of two elderly nursing homes. A total of 38 patients qualified for this study were selected from the nursing homes and randomly divided into two groups: an experimental group and a control group, both with 19 patients. The experimental group then underwent a series of one-hour sensory-stimulating group activities once in a week and consecutively for eight weeks. These group activities were designed as an intervention plan for the experimental group by using everyday objects that are familiar to the patients and also by using therapeutic communication techniques that were learned from social workers. The objective was to provide a variety of sensory stimulations to the five senses, namely sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. By contrast, the control group were involved only in participating routine institutional activities and receiving care and get-well wishes. The results showed that the two groups had no significant difference in basic demographic data and had an average age of 84.16 years with a standard deviation of 5.33 years. For both groups, the post-test of cognitive symptoms showed that p=.957 (p>.05), which was below significance. For the experimental group, the score of GDS-s was reduced from 4.11±3.247 to 2.79±2.123, indicating an improvement on their depressive symptoms. By contrast, for the control group, the score of GDS-s was increased from 5.84±3.905 to 6.33±4.446, indicating a worsening of their depressive symptoms. The post-test of GDS-s showed that t=-3.121 and p=.005 (p<.05), which was above significance. For both groups, the respective differences between the pre-test and post-test of cognitive and depressive symptoms were p=.669 and p=.092 (p>.05), both of which were below significance. Accordingly, it can be seen that the sensory-stimulating group activities tend to improve the depressive symptoms of the nursing home residents. Therefore, it can be considered to prolong the duration of the intervention by increasing the number of weeks or the number of times in each week for the activities, with the purpose of raising the level of significance after intervention. It is hoped that this study can serve as a reference for the planning of cognitively-stimulating activities for the nursing home residents.
"Utilising sociodrama as therapeutic intervention to address the sensory integration development of adolescents who present with intellectual impairment". Thesis, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10210/14118.
Pełny tekst źródłaThis research was done in response to the need of educational psychologists to intervene on a sensory integration level as it affects learning and behaviour, which falls within the scope of practice of educational psychologists in South Africa. The research study aimed to explore the research question: how sociodrama could be used as a therapeutic intervention to address the sensory integration of adolescents who present with mild intellectual impairment. The study is situated in the interpretivist-constructivist paradigm, using sociocultural theory as theoretical framework. I therefore commenced with the research with the assumption that the six participants each had their own cultural stories and background within which they functioned, and that they could learn from one another in the sociodramatic group setting. The sociodrama sessions were conducted at a school for learners who presented with mild learning impairments. The participants of the research study attended the bridging class of the school, where the focus is on basic literacy and mathematical skills. Thirteen sociodrama sessions were conducted, where the focus was on the development of sensory integration skills. A qualitative research approach was followed and a case study design was chosen for the inquiry. Data collection included the use of sensory profiles, a background questionnaire, context observation, participant observation, visual journals, reflections, video-recordings and an interview with the educator. I utilised the steps suggested by Braun and Clarke (2006) to thematically analyse the qualitative data and to identify themes. The aim of the research study was to firstly be of benefit to the research participants, creating sociodramatic opportunities through which their sensory integration skills could be developed. The research inquiry furthermore aimed to contribute to the field of educational psychology as it allowed for the development of knowledge on sensory integration and provides a unique therapeutic approach to develop sensory integration skills in adolescents who present with mild intellectual impairment.

Somatosensory input was required for accurate motor performance and for new motor skill learning. In humans, above motor threshold peripheral nerve stimulation resulted in an increased excitability of the motor pathway to the stimulated body parts. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether peripheral sensory afferents was essential in facilitation of motor pathway by electrical stimulation. Eight subjects with sensory impairment following SCI and nine healthy subjects were recruited. Motor evoked potentials (MEP), silent period(SP) elicited by 120% motor threshold transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and H-reflex elicited by median nerve stimulation were recorded on flexor carpi radialis (FCR) muscle before, during, immediately and 30 minutes after repetitive electrical stimulation (25 Hz, on/off=800ms/ 800 ms) on median nerve. In healthy subjects, the averaged amplitude of MEP increased to 154±29% of initial (P=0.01) after repetitive electrical stimulation. This increment became statically non-significant 30 min after the stimulation stopped. In subjects with SCI, the MEP did not change. The H-reflex and low frequency depression ratio did not change in both subjects. We concluded that the sensory afferent input was essential to facilitate the corticomotoneuronal excitability during peripheral nerve stimulation.
