Leisure-time physical activity and artery lumen diameters: A monozygotic co-twin control study
2010
Exercise is thought to increase the diameter of the conduit arteries supplying the muscles involved. We studied the effects of a physically active vs inactive lifestyle on artery diameters in monozygotic (MZ) twin pairs discordant over 30 years for leisure-time physical activity habits. In a population-based co-twin control study design, six middle-aged (50-65 years) same-sex MZ twin pairs with long-term discordance for physical activity were comprehensively identified from the Finnish Twin Cohort (TWINACTIVE study). Discordance was initially defined in 1975 and the same co-twin remained significantly more active during the 32-year follow-up. The main outcomes were arterial lumen diameters …
Actividad física, barreras y beneficios en personas con ictus crónico: estudio transversal de encuesta
2019
Resumen Introduccion La actividad fisica (AF) es fundamental para la salud. Las secuelas producidas tras un ictus y otras barreras pueden interferir en la realizacion de ejercicio fisico (EF). Consecuentemente, podria variar la percepcion de sus beneficios. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el nivel de AF en funcion de la capacidad de deambulacion, y el grado de incapacidad que presentan los individuos con dichos caracteres, asi como las barreras y los beneficios en la practica de EF percibidos por estos. Material y metodos Se realizo un estudio transversal de encuesta en una muestra de personas con secuelas cronicas tras ictus. Se elaboro una encuesta que conto con un diario de ac…
Evidencia de la estimulación eléctrica neuromuscular distal en la recuperación del paciente tras ictus: una revisión sistemática
2016
Resumen Objetivo La estimulacion electrica neuromuscular (EENM) es una herramienta propuesta en la recuperacion del miembro superior tras ictus, pero se necesitan datos mas solidos sobre su aplicacion. Por tanto, nos planteamos valorar su efectividad, conocer los protocolos y las caracteristicas muestrales. Estrategia de busqueda Estudios publicados entre 1998 y 2013, en MEDLINE, PubMed, PEDro y CINAHL. Seleccion de estudios: se seleccionaron 35 ensayos clinicos aleatorizados, donde se aplico EENM distal tras ictus. Se evaluo su calidad metodologica mediante la escala PEDro. Sintesis de resultados Se analizaron las muestras y los protocolos de estimulacion, se valoro su efectividad frente a…

2018
La fonction d’equilibration repose sur l’integration de donnees sensorielles autorisant une regulation sensori-motrice des activites musculaires [1] , [2] , [3] . Les donnees relatives a l’evolution de notre corps dans l’environnement, utiles pour coordonner la posture et le mouvement, proviennent principalement de l’appareil visuel, de l’oreille interne et des capteurs de la somesthesie [4] , [5] . Cependant, la ponderation de ces entrees peut varier d’un individu a un autre, et en fonction des contraintes de l’environnement : ces variations constituent des preferences sensorielles [6] , [7] . Des situations particulieres, telles que la privation d’une de ces entrees suite a un accident, p…
L’évaluation systémique au service du diagnostic physiothérapique en gériatrie
2018
L’evaluation geriatrique de la fonction d’equilibration est habituellement realisee sous une visee fonctionnelle autorisee par de nombreux tests valides [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] . Cependant, ces differents tests ne permettent pas de determiner l’etiologie precise des troubles de l’equilibre et par consequent n’orientent pas le reeducateur dans son bilan diagnostic kinesitherapique. Une approche systemique a ete concue en reponse a cette problematique. Le « Balance Evaluation Systems Test » (BESTest), [7] propose par l’equipe de Fay Horak en 2010, evalue six sous-systemes essentiels dans le controle de l’equilibre. Dans une logique similaire, le raisonnement EquiMoG (Equilibre et Mo…
Estructura y propiedades métricas de un cuestionario para medir discapacidad en las actividades de movilidad en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obs…
2019
Resumen Objetivo El objetivo del estudio fue adaptar un cuestionario de discapacidad en actividades de movilidad (DIAMO-EPOC) incorporando escalas basadas en el marco conceptual de la Clasificacion Internacional del Funcionamiento, Discapacidad y Salud, y examinar su estructura, fiabilidad y validez en una cohorte de pacientes con EPOC. Metodos Un total de 137 pacientes con EPOC estable fueron reclutados. Se disenaron dos escalas de cuatro items cada una y se verifico su estructura mediante analisis factorial y de multirrasgo. Adicionalmente, se calcularon los indices de fiabilidad (consistencia interna y test-retest). La validez de constructo se analizo mediante grupos conocidos y la conve…
Effectiveness of unstable mini-boards to improve balance in institutionalised elderly people diagnosed with backward disequilibrium syndrome. Randomi…
2018
TITLE. Effectiveness of unstable mini-boards to improve balance in institutionalised old people diagnosed by Backward Disequilibrium Syndrome. Randomised controlled trial. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES. BDS is a postural disorder which implies a posterior shift of a person's centre of gravity regarding their base of support, which increases falling risks. This study aims to determine whether a specific protocol with the use of unstable mini-boards can improve balance and motion in institutionalised old people diagnosed with BDS. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Single-blinded, two-group, randomised controlled clinical trial. Patients were institutionalised adults, age between 68 and 97, diagnosed with Ba…
Client’s role and participation in stroke physiotherapy encounters: an observational study
2016
AbstractClient participation is a basic principle in rehabilitation encounters. Coping at home after stroke requires self-confidence and autonomy, which can be enhanced by active collaboration and knowledge sharing. Earlier studies show, however, that clients are not always offered the role of an active participant in physiotherapy practice. A contradiction remains between official rhetoric and clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interaction between the client and the physiotherapist in stroke rehabilitation sessions. Eight video-recorded treatment sessions were observed after an educational intervention that focused on client participation. Discourse analysi…
The Development and Initial Validation of a Short, Self-Report Measure on Social Inclusion for People with Intellectual Disabilities-A Transnational …
2021
Sport has been promoted as a means of increasing the social inclusion of persons with intellectual disabilities. Suitable tools for evaluating this claim are not readily available. The aim of this study was to develop a self-report tool for use by people with intellectual disabilities regarding the social inclusion they experience in sport and in the community. A three-phase process was used. In the first phase an item bank of questionnaire items was created and field-tested with 111 participants. Initial factor analysis identified 42 items which were further evaluated in Phase 2 with 941 participants from six European countries. Construct validity was established first through Exploratory …
Measuring trunk orientation with a CMOS camera: feasibility and accuracy.
2007
International audience; The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a new tool to objectively quantify trunk orientation at the bedside, especially dedicated to the measurement of the lateropulsion in acute and subacute stroke patients. We developed software to analyze 2D movement with a CMOS camera (Logitech Quickcam Pro 4000) and to calculate the orientation of a segment defined by two color markers. First, the accuracy, reproducibility and noise when measuring segment orientations were evaluated with the CMOS camera placed in different positions, and second trunk orientation was measured in static and in dynamic conditions both with a CMOS camera and with a gold standard 3D vid…
