Preferred Outcome Measures Used in Randomized Clinical Trials of Total Knee Replacement Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review.
2020
Objective To determine the most frequently used outcome measures in total knee replacement rehabilitation trials. Literature survey Systematic review of randomized trials searched in five databases: Web of Science, MEDical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System, Physiotherapy Evidence Database, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Methodology Trials were included if participants underwent total knee replacement rehabilitation and outcome measures were used to assess rehabilitation outcomes. A descriptive synthesis determined the frequency of using outcome measures and preferred assessment time points. Outcomes were classified into eight categories: patient- and clinician-reported function, perfo…
Balance control in aging: improvements in anticipatory postural adjustments and updating of internal models
2015
International audience; Postural stability of older subjects can be estimated during orthostatic equilibrium. However, dynamic equilibrium is also important to investigate risks of fall. It implies different interpretations of measures given by force plates. Same dependant variables (e.g. center of pressure displacement) cannot be interpreted the same ways depending of the type of equilibrium that is investigated. In particular, sways increases during dynamic equilibrium and before movement execution may reflect an improvement of feedforward control.
The meanings older people give to their rehabilitation experience
2006
Promoting older people's ability to manage at home is important both for themselves and for society, but few studies have explored whether geriatric rehabilitation actually meets the needs of this heterogeneous group. The purpose of this study was to investigate the meanings that older adults attribute to their geriatric rehabilitation experiences. A group of 27 older adults in inpatient rehabilitation were interviewed during the programme and after returning home. Semi-structured interviews were analysed using a qualitative method, which identified three categories of meaning. In the category ‘sense of confidence with everyday life’, rehabilitation was perceived as facilitating everyday li…
Interaction between clients and physiotherapists in group exercise classes in geriatric rehabilitation
2009
The aim of this paper is to explore how older people construct their interaction in group exercise classes in geriatric rehabilitation and what is their contribution to the interaction. Discourse analysis was employed and data, consisting of seven videotaped group-based exercise sessions, were collected from 52 older people (aged 66–93 years) and nine rehabilitation professionals in seven rehabilitation centres. Four discourse categories were found. In “taciturn exercising”, older people remained verbally silent but physically active. In “submissive disagreeing”, older people opposed the professionals’ agenda by displaying reluctant consent to proposals. In “resilient endeavouring”, older a…
Geriatrijas pacientu ar vecuma nespējas sindromu stacionārās rehabilitācijas perioda rezultātu izvērtējums
2018
Nosaukums: Geriatrijas pacientu ar vecuma nespējas sindromu stacionārās rehabilitācijas perioda rezultātu izvērtējums Problēmas raksturojums: Vecuma nespējas sindroms izraisa dažādu organisma sistēmu priekšlaicīgu novecošanos un samazina fizioloģiskās rezerves, palielina stacionārās ārstēšanas biežumu un pazemina dzīves kvalitāti, īpaši akūtu saslimšanu gadījumos. Mērķis: analizēt vecāka gadu gājuma pacientu, kuri pakļauti stacionēšanas riskam vai nespēj turpināt uzsākto akūtās saslimšanas ārstēšanu ambulatori, veselības stāvokli, ņemot vērā, vai viņi bija spējīgi atgriezties savā dzīvesvietā pēc rehabilitācijas noslēguma. Pētījuma metodes: funkcionalitātes izvērtējums tika veikts ārstēšana…
