This project assesses effects of four -week active rehabilitation combined with Vojta reflex stimulation on mobility of bed-bound seniors. Sixteen female patients were divided into two groups of eight members, i.e. tested group and control group. Both groups were put through training focused on self-support, maintaining or enhancement of range of movement, strengthening of weak muscle groups, stability training, practicing sitting up and lying down from sitting position, and walking in the high walking frame in the case of stronger patients. Besides that the tested group underwent Vojta reflex stimulation (global model of reflex turning), coordination and stability exercise and exercise with rehabilitation tools (elastic band, over ball, small ball, water bottle). In the beginning and in the end of the project the EMS (Elderly Mobility Scale), BI (Barthel Index), and MMSE (Mini-mental State Examination) scales were tested as well as ability to turn from back to side and stability in the sitting position. Statistical comparability of both groups was proved true in the beginning of the therapy by Mann-Whitney test. There was a noticeable tendency towards higher probability of enhancing measured scores in the tested group compared to the control group after the therapy. In case of the EMS this probability was...

Aim: The current study investigated a pattern of associations between executive functions and everyday functioning in a sample of schizophrenia patients with the aim to specify the ecological validity. The ecological validity as a specific form of external validity refers to the extent of the relation of the test outcome measures and patients' behaviour in everyday situations. Sample and methods: A sample of 77 patients (22 women and 55 men) with the diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, who met study inclusion criteria, was assessed with several executive function tests: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Trail Making Test B (TMT B), Phonemic Verbal Fluency Test and Semantic Verbal Fluency Test (VF), Similarities from Wechsler Adult Inteligence Scale (WAIS III), Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test in Boston Qualitative Scoring System (BQSS), and with rating scales for patients' behavior in everyday situations - Personal and Social Performance Scale (PSPs), newly developed clinical scale (CliSca), Interview for Assessment of Insight (SAI) and patients' self rating in Social Functioning Scale (SFS). Relationships between demografic measures and test outcomes were examined. Results: Verbal fluency tests did correlate significantly with the newly developed clinical scale that seems...

The practical significance of the work covers the recommended model for the development of Engineering English functional abilities... [to full text]

Over the last 30 years there has been a paradigmatic shift in the field of disabilities towards assessing individual support needs in relation to social and environmental context rather than individual deficits. The capacity of existing assessment instruments to assess support needs is limited because most were designed to assess individual deficits and thereby determine eligibility for funding and/or services. Some instruments have been designed to assess support needs but there are several problems associated with these instruments including, suitability for use in only one disability type, susceptibility to rater bias, and failure to account for variations in support needs over time. This thesis attempted to contribute to addressing these deficiencies by examining the characteristics that are most predictive of support needs for people with psychiatric and intellectual disabilities and the methods by which changes in such support needs could be predicted. Two studies were used to address these aims. The first considered samples of people with primary psychiatric disabilities (N= 561) and intellectual disabilities (N =168), who lived in Supported Residential Facilities. These participants were assessed in regards not only to standard demographic and disability characteristics, and also personal characteristics, including functional abilities, and support needs. The data were analysed using ordinal logistic regression to determine which better predicted support needs and, accordingly, which characteristics were most important to include in the assessment of support needs. Analysis showed that personal characteristics, such as functional abilities such as showering/bathing and budgeting explained much more variance in support needs than either demographics or disability characteristics. This suggests that, for support needs assessments to be accurately assessed, they should include evaluations of these personal characteristics even though they may require more time and resources to obtain than demographic and disability data. The second study in this thesis aimed to investigate whether caregivers could predict changes in support needs over six-month periods accurately. Residents in supported accommodation with a primary psychiatric disability (N = 60; although some attrition among those with psychiatric disabilities), or primary intellectual disability (N = 57) and their caregivers were involved in this study. Caregivers were interviewed on three occasions at six-monthly intervals and asked to estimate any changes that they expected to occur in the next six months or that they believed had occurred in the preceding six months. Caregivers were also asked to complete two functional assessments for each resident at the three points in time. The functional assessments were used as the benchmark against which the accuracy of caregivers’ estimates was examined. Analysis found that caregivers were unable to predict accurately prospective changes in overall or specific support needs, nor were they able to report accurately such changes retrospectively. The results of this thesis contribute to the body of knowledge in the relatively new area of support needs assessment in terms of possible predictors of support needs and the assessment of changes in support needs. Recommendations for further research include; investigating some of the personal characteristics found to be predictors of support needs in greater detail and among other disability types, replication of these findings in other samples, and investigating ways to improve caregivers’ capacity to predict changes in support needs accurately. / Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Psychology, 2008

Magister Scientiae (Physiotherapy) - MSc(Physio) / Rheumatic disease is estimated to be one of the most disabling diseases in South Africa and the world. The most common rheumatic diseases are osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, gout and systemic lupus erythematosus. The symptoms of the disease include pain, stiffness, swelling, decreased function. The patient’s functional abilities are severely affected by the pain which in turn, leads to poor quality of life and adverse stress. As a result patients who suffer with one or with a combination of rheumatic disease will experience pain, stress, decreased functional abilities and poor quality of life. The physical properties of water and the therapeutic effects of hydrotherapy, make hydrotherapy an effective form of exercise available to physiotherapists in the treatment of rheumatic disease. The aim of the current study was to determine the effects of a hydrotherapy intervention on the pain, stress, quality of life and functional abilities in patients with rheumatic disease. A quantitative and qualitative research design was employed to meet the objectives. The quantitative aspect involved an A-B-A design and the qualitative part of the study compromised indepth interviews which took place after the intervention. The instruments used were the WHOQOL-BREF instrument, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Weekly Stress Inventory-Short Form (WSI-SF) and the Health Assessment Questionnaire. (HAQ). The sample consisted of 19 patients who were diagnosed with one or a combination of rheumatic disease. The study was conducted at the hydrotherapy pool at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. Within the study sample, the majority of the participants were female (84%) with osteoarthritis being common among the participants (53%). The mean age was 60 years. The intervention had a significant impact on pain reduction (p = 0.0001), quality of life (p<0.05). However, the impact of hydrotherapy on stress and the social relationship domain in quality of life was inconclusive. It is thus evident from this study that hydrotherapy as a treatment modality for physiotherapists can be used to impact on the pain, quality of life and functional abilities in patients with rheumatic disease. iv Keywords

Abstract The aim of this study was to compare the development of the psychiatric health care services, the views about what things can be regarded as good results in psychiatric health care and the factors affecting on them in Finland and in Greece. The study can be used as a point of reference when developing and comparing mental health indicators in and between the European countries. The psychiatric health care services in both the countries appeared to have gone through similar phases of development: isolation, psychopharmacal treatment, work and other activities, psychotherapies and finally, patient-oriented combination of all the methods. The number of psychiatric in-patient beds has decreased in mental hospitals and increased in general hospitals, and the number of rehabilitation and service homes has also increased. The data sets were collected by interviews and from written documents and statistical data sets concerning Finland and Greece (OECD health care data set 2000, European Commission 1997, 1999a, 1999b, 2000, 2001, World Health Organization 1996a, 1996b, 2001a, 2001b). In Finland 44 workers and decision-makers were interviewed within the area of one hospital district, and in Greece, 35 workers were interviewed in two psychiatric hospitals. The qualitative data sets were analyzed with methods of content analysis. The international and national quantitative data were analyzed for similarities and differences. The frame for the comparison was outlined based on the literature and the results of the interviews. In both countries, good results in psychiatric health care included well-being, functional abilities, service capacity and economy. Well-being in both the countries meant alleviation of the symptoms of the illness and satisfaction of the basic physical, psychic and social needs. In Finland patients' positive feelings were emphasized, while in Greece, the value of of equal rights for sick and healthy people was underlined. Functional abilities included the ability to take care of one's everyday life. In Greece the long-term mental patients needed to relearn the skills of daily living, while the Finnish system emphasized patients' ability to use the skills they had but did not use because of their illness. Adequate service capacity in Greece meant the accessibility of the services close to each person's place of residence, while in Finland possibilities to get information and guidance about matters concerning oneself and one's relatives were considered especially important. Economy meant the relationship between the costs and the results. In Greece patients needed sufficient pensions to be able to live outside the hospital. In Finland the challenge was to produce sufficiently high-quality services with the available resources. The factors affecting good results were related to the patient/client and his/her relatives, the health care staff, the methods of treatment, the organization of the system of care and the society in question. The importance of the patient's family, the professional skills of the staff, and the availability of both outpatient and inpatient treatment and medication were emphasized. / Tiivistelmä Tutkimuksessa vertaillaan psykiatrisen terveydenhoidon kehitystä sekä käsityksiä hoidon tuloksellisuudesta ja siihen vaikuttavista tekijöistä Suomessa ja Kreikassa. Tutkimusta voidaan käyttää yhtenä esimerkkinä kehitettäessä psykiatrisen hoidon indikaattoreita ja maiden välisiä vertailuja Euroopassa. Tulosten perusteella psykiatrisessa terveydenhoidossa on havaittavissa molemmissa maissa tietyt kehitysvaiheet: eristäminen, lääkitys, työ ja toiminta, psykoterapiat, ja viimeisimpänä edellä mainittujen potilaslähtöinen yhdistäminen. Sairaalapaikkojen määrä psykiatrisissa sairaaloissa on vähentynyt ja yleissairaaloissa lisääntynyt molemmissa maissa ja kuntoutus- ja hoitokotien määrä on lisääntynyt. Aineisto koottiin haastatteluilla, kirjoitetuista asiakirjoista sekä tilastotiedoista psykiatrisesta terveydenhoidosta Suomessa ja Kreikassa (OECD health care data set 2000, European Commission 1997, 1999a, 1999b, 2000, 2001, World Health Organization 1996a, 1996b, 2001a, 2001b). Suomessa haastateltiin 44 työntekijää ja päättäjää yhden sairaanhoitopiirin alueella, Kreikassa 35 kahdessa sairaalassa. Laadullinen aineisto analysoitiin sisällönanalyysimenetelmällä. Kvantitatiivisesta, kansallisista ja kansainvälisistä lähteistä kootusta aineistosta etsittiin samankaltaisuuksia ja eroavuuksia. Vertailun viitekehys muodostettiin kirjallisuuden ja haastattelujen tulosten perusteella. Psykiatrisen terveydenhoidon tuloksellisuus on molempien maiden tiedonantajien mukaan hyvää oloa, toimintakykyä, palvelukykyä ja taloudellisuutta. Hyvä olo tarkoittaa sairauden oireiden lieventymistä ja psyykkisten, fyysisten ja sosiaalisten perustarpeiden tyydyttymistä. Suomessa korostettiin potilaan myönteisiä tunteita, kreikassa ihmisarvoa samanlaisin oikeuksin kuin muillakin ihmisillä. Toimintakyky sisältää kyvyn huolehtia jokapäiväisen elämän vaatimista tehtävistä. Kreikassa pitkään sairastaneilla oli tarve opetella uudelleen alusta jokapäiväisen elämisen taitoja, Suomessa korostettiin sairauden vuoksi käyttämättömänä olevan osaamisen elvyttämistä. Palvelukyky tarkoitti Kreikassa palvelujen saatavuutta läheltä asuinpaikkaa, Suomessa tiedon ja ohjauksen saamista itseä ja läheisiä koskevissa asioissa. Taloudellisuus tarkoittaa kustannusten ja tulosten välistä suhdetta. Kreikassa potilaiden tulee saada parempia eläkkeitä kyetäkseen asumaan sairaalan ulkopuolella, Suomessa haasteeksi koettiin hyvän hoidon mahdollistaminen olevilla voimavaroilla. Tuloksellisuuteen vaikuttavat tekijät liittyivät potilaaseen/asiakkaaseen ja hänen läheisiinsä, hoitavaan henkilökuntaan ja hoitomenetelmiin, hoidon organisointiin sekä yhteiskuntaan, jossa eletään. Molemmissa maissa korostettiin potilaan läheisten merkitystä, henkilökunnan ammattitaitoa, hoitopaikkoina sekä avo- että sairaanhoitoa ja lääkehoitoa.

<p>Uvod: Ko&scaron;arka je naizmeničan, dominantno anaerobni timski sport koji igraju sportisti na različitim nivoima. Iako je primarno američki sport, ko&scaron;arka je ubrzo postala i međunarodni, a danas gotovo da nema zemlje u kojoj se ne igra. Razlog za podizanje svesti o ko&scaron;arka&scaron;koj igri je taj &scaron;to je to dru&scaron;tvena igra čijim upražnjavanjem se može zadovoljiti niz sociolo&scaron;kih, fiziolo&scaron;kih, psiholo&scaron;kih i mnogih drugih aspekata. U trenažnom procesu, samo pravilnim izborom trenažnih programa, raznovrsnosti trenažnih sadržaja, izborom trenažnih metoda i sredstava rada može se očekivati razvoj svih kretnih, funkcionalnih i drugih sposobnosti ko&scaron;arka&scaron;a. Prethodno navedeno utiče na izbor vežbi koje će biti primenjene na sportiste odnosno ko&scaron;arka&scaron;e, a koje su osnovno sredstvo u trenažnoj tehnologiji za prevođenje sportiste iz nižeg u vi&scaron;i nivo sportske forme.<br />Cilj: Cilj istraživanja je da se kroz odabranu bateriju testova ustanovi efekat zadatog tretmana na transformaciju morfo-funkcionalnih, motoričkih i specifično motoričkih sposobnosti studenata ko&scaron;arka&scaron;a sprovedenog u pripremnom delu sezone (predtakmičarski ili bazični deo).<br />Metodologija: Uzorak ispitanika činio je ukupno 95 studenata mu&scaron;kog pola, Severoistočnog federalnog univerziteta u Jakutsku (Rusija) koji broji oko 20000 studenata pretežno iz azijatskog dela sveta. Uzrast ispitanika je od 18-23 godine gde je prosečna starost 20.841.26 godina. Naveden uzorak je metodom slučajnog uzorka podeljen u dve grupe: prva grupa je bila eksperimentalna (N=45), dok je druga grupa bila kontrolna (N=50). Eksperimentalna grupa je realizovala eksperimentalni plan i program. Kontrolna grupa je realizovala &bdquo;Op&scaron;ti program treninga ko&scaron;arka&scaron;kih performansi&ldquo; koji se primenjuje u KK&ldquo;Borac&ldquo; iz Čačka.<br />Za svaku dobijenu varijablu izračunati su centralni i disperzioni parametri. Za procenu normalnosti distribucije svih varijabli primenjen je Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. U cilju utvrđivanja razlika u morfo-funkcionalnim i motoričkimi specifično motoričkim sposobnostima studenata ko&scaron;arka&scaron;a u inicijalnom i finalnom merenju između kontrolne i eksperimentalne grupe primenjena je multivarijatna analiza varijanse (MANOVA) i univarijatna analiza varijanse (ANOVA). Struktura razlika između grupa i hijerarhija antropometrijskih i motoričkih varijabli na inicijalnom i na finalnom merenju utvrđena je primenom Diskriminativne analize. Stvarni efekti eksperimentalnog i kontrolnog tretmana, na finalnom merenju utvrđeni su uz pomoć univarijatne analize kovarijanse (ANCOVA) i multivarijatne analize kovarijanse (MANCOVA).<br />Rezultati: Rezultati multivarijatne analize varijanse ukazuju da u sistemu primenjenih varijabli postoje statistički značajne razlike između kontrolne i eksperimentalne grupe na finalnom merenju u varijablama za procenu morfolo&scaron;kih karakteristika (p = .000), funkcionalnih sposobnosti (p = .000), motoričkih (p = .000) i specifično motoričkih sposobnosti (p = .000). Rezultati diskriminativne analize (p = .000) ukazuju da postoji jasno definisana granica između subuzoraka kada su u pitanju varijable za procenu morfolo&scaron;kih karakteristika (p = .000), funkcionalnih sposobnosti (p = .000), motoričkih (p = .000) i specifično motoričkih sposobnosti na finalnom merenju. Primenom ANOVA analize utvrđeno je da postoje statistički značajne razlike između subuzoraka studenata ko&scaron;arka&scaron;a u varijablama za procenu morfolo&scaron;kih karakteristika i u varijablama za procenu funkcionalnih sposobnosti ispitanika. ANOVA je takođe potvrdila statistički značajne razlike u varijablama za procenu motoričkih i specifično motoričkih sposobnosti. Statistički značajne razlike u gore navedenim varijablama je uočena u korist eksperimentalne grupe.<br />Putem MANCOVA analize utvrđena je statistički značajna razlika između eksperimentalne i kontrolne grupe studenata ko&scaron;arka&scaron;a u sistemu primenjenih varijabli za procenu morfolo&scaron;kih karakteristika ispitanika (p=.000), za procenu funkcionalnih sposobnosti (p=.000), za procenu motoričkih sposobnosti (p=.000) i za procenu specifično motoričkih sposobnosti ispitanika (p=.000) na finalnom merenju, na kraju primenjenog eksperimentalnog tretmana u korist eksperimentalne grupe. Rezultati diskriminativne analize (p = .000) ukazuju da postoji jasno definisana granica između subuzoraka kada su u pitanju varijable za procenu morfolo&scaron;kih karakteristika (p = .000), funkcionalnih sposobnosti (p = .000), motoričkih&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (p = .000) i specifično motoričkih sposobnosti na na kraju primenjenog eksperimentalnog tretmana.<br />Zaključak: Kako je uočena statistički značajna razlika u celom ispitivanom prostoru, može se zaključiti da postoji statistički značajan efekat eksperimentalnog tretmana na određene morfolo&scaron;ke karakteristike, funkcionalne, motoričke i specifično motoričke sposobnosti ispitanika. Efekti eksperimentalnog tretmana na ko&scaron;arka&scaron;e su bili bolji od efekata konvencionalnog ko&scaron;arka&scaron;og treninga.</p> / <p>Introduction: Basketball is an alternate, dominant anaerobic team sport that plays athletes at different levels. Although it is&nbsp; the US primarily sport, basketball soon became international, and today there is almost no country in which it is not played. The reason for raising awareness about the basketball game is that it is a social game whose practice can satisfy a range of sociological, physiological, psychological and many other aspects. In the training process, only the correct selection of training programs, variety of training contents, choice of training methods and training tools can be expected to develop all the locomotional, functional and other abilities of basketball players. The aforementioned influences the selection of exercises that will be applied to athletes or basketball players, which are the basic instrumentality in the training technique for translating an athlete from a lower to a higher level of sports form.<br />Objective: The aim of the research is to determine the effect of the given treatment on the transformation of the morpho-functional, motor and specific motor skills of basketball players conducted during the preparatory part of the season (pre-competitive or basic part) through the selected battery of tests.<br />Methodology: The sample of respondents consisted of a total of 95 male students, Northeastern Federal University in Yakutsk (Russia), which has about 20000 students predominantly from the Asian region. The age of the respondents is from 18-23 years, where the average age is 20.841.26 years. The sample was randomly divided into two groups: the first group was experimental (N = 45), while the second group was control group (N = 50). The experimental group realized the experimental plan and program. The control group realized the &quot;General Basketball Performance Training Program&quot;, which is being applied in BC &quot;Borac&quot; from Cacak.<br />For each obtained variable, the central and dispersion parameters. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to estimate the normal distribution of all variables. In order to determine the differences in the morpho-functional, motor and specific motor skills of basketball students in the initial and final measurement between the control and the experimental group, a multivariate variance analysis (MANOVA) and a univariate variance analysis (ANOVA) were applied. The structure of differences between groups and the hierarchies of anthropometric and motor variables on initial and final measurement was determined using the Discrimination Analysis. The actual effects of experimental and control treatment were determined at the final measurement using a univariate covariance analysis (ANCOVA) and multivariate covariance analysis (MANCOVA).<br />Results: The results of the multivariate analysis of variance indicate that in the system of applied variables there are statistically significant differences between the control and the experimental group at the final measurement in variables for estimating morphological characteristics (p = .000), functional abilities (p = .000) .000), motor skills (p = .000) and specific motor skills (p = .000). The results of the discriminant analysis (p = .000) indicate that there is a clearly defined boundary between subunits when it comes to variables for assessing morphological characteristics (p = .000), functional abilities (p = .000), motor (p = .000) and specific motor skills in final measurement.<br />Using ANOVA analysis it was determined that there are statistically significant differences between subsamples of students in variables for evaluation of morphological characteristics and variables for assessing the functional abilities. ANOVA also confirmed statistically significant differences in variables for assessing motor abilities and specific motor skills. In the above mentioned variables statistically significant differences were observed in favor of the experimental group.<br />The MANCOVA analysis showed a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group of basketball students in the system of applied variables for assessing the morphological characteristics of the respondents (p = .000), for assessment functional abilities (p = .000), for the assessment of motor abilities (p =. 000) and for the assessment of the specific motor abilities of the subjects (p = .000) at the final measurement, at the end of the applied experimental treatment, in favor of the experimental group. The results of the discriminant analysis (p = .000) indicate that there is a clearly defined boundary between subunits when it comes to variables for assessment morphological characteristics (p = .000), functional abilities (p = .000), motor (p = .000) and specific motor abilities, at the end of the applied experimental treatment.<br />Conclusion: As a statistically significant difference was observed in the entire study area, it can be concluded that there is a statistically significant effect of experimental treatment on certain morphological characteristics, functional, motor and specific motor abilities of the respondents. The effects of experimental treatment on basketball players were better than the effects of conventional basketball training.</p>
