P 042 - Gait complexity quantified using inertial measurement units in children with cerebral palsy
2018
Abstract Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have gait impairments, and their gait is affected by concurrent tasks. We used inertial measurement units (IMU) to quantify CP-related gait complexity alterations, and identify effects of dual tasks on gait variability from 12 children with CP and 23 typically developed (TD) controls. The data were collected for normal and dual-tasks (motor; carrying a tray, cognitive; word naming) during walking. Step duration and adjusted multiscale entropy (MSE) index were computed. In overall, children with CP had shorter step duration and greater gait complexity than TD. Gait complexity was higher in vertical direction during the cognitive than normal and moto…
"Nykyään sitä on oppinut arvostaa" : nuorten, joilla on CP- vamma, kokemuksia pitkäaikaisesta fysioterapiasta
2012
Pro gradu- tutkimukseni tarkoituksena on ymmärtää ja kuvata nuorten, joilla on CP- vamma, kokemuksia pitkäaikaisesta fysioterapiasta fenomenologis- hermeneuttisen tutkimusasetelman kautta. Tutkimus liittyy laajempaan Jyväskylän yliopiston koordinoimaan Potilasohjaus fysioterapiassa – projektiin ja sillä on tutkimuslupa HUS:n eettiseltä toimikunnalta. Tutkimukseen osallistui 10 nuorta, joilla on ollut fysioterapiaa pienestä lapsesta lähtien, 16-22 -vuotta. Aineisto kerättiin avoimien yksilöllisten haastattelujen avulla ja analysoitiin Spiegelbergin (1982) ja Laineen (2010) aineistoanalyysimenetelmän kautta. Tutkimukseen osallistuneiden nuorten merkityskokonaisuuksina ilmenivät: fysioterapia …
Toimintaterapeuttien ja vanhempien yhteistyö toimintaterapiassa lapsille, joilla on CP-oireisto
2017
Tutkimuksessa selvitettiin toimintaterapeuttien ja vanhempien välistä yhteistyötä Kelan järjestämässä vaikeavammaisten kuntoutuksessa lapsille, joilla oli CP-oireisto. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin aineistoa, joka oli kerätty Kelan kuntoutuksen avopalveluja tuottaneilta toimintaterapeuteilta vuosina 2008–2009. Aineisto kerättiin The Measure of Processes of Care for Service Providers -itsearviointimittarilla (MPOC-SP), jolla kysyttiin palveluntuottajilta, kuinka paljon he olivat toteuttaneet asiakaslähtöisiä toimintatapoja yhteistyössään lasten vanhempien kanssa. Tämän tutkimuksen aineisto analysoitiin SPSS-ohjelmalla. Tutkimuksen tuloksina oli, että lasta kuntouttavista toimintaterapeuteista 92 …
A comparative study between Chinese and Finns : communication accommodation and values exchange in grandparent and grandchild communication
2017
This study explores differences and similarities between grandparent-grandchild (GP-GC) communication in China and Finland. GP-GC communication and relationship has been understudied for decades since scholars in family communication domain have been focusing on relationships among other family members. The culture of the residents of China, the origin of Confucianism, is isolated from that of other East Asian nations. In view of dramatic socioeconomic development, examining how the traditional GP-GC relationship within the family has changed is valuable. On the other hand, Finland possesses a culture with contrasting traits. Characterized by individualism, Finns are prone to focus primaril…
Spelling in Finnish : the case of the double consonant
2021
Because of its regularity, it is relatively easy to learn to read and spell in Finnish. However, a specific hurdle in spelling acquisition seems to be the doubling of consonant letters. In this study on consonant letter doubling spelling in Finnish children (91 Grade 1 and 191 Grade 2 children), we asked two questions. First, are items with double consonant letters (e.g., “kissa” [ˈkisːɑ] ‘cat’) indeed harder to spell than single consonant items (e.g., “kisa” [ˈkisɑ] ‘contest’)? Second, is consonant doubling harder for stop consonants (e.g., “takki” [ˈtɑkːi] ‘coat’) than for continuant consonants (e.g., “kissa&rdq…

Co-participatory multimodal intergenerational storytelling : preschool children’s relationship with modality creating elder inclusion
2021
The COVID-19 crisis has highlighted elderly people as a vulnerable and excluded community, and connecting to the younger social media generation requires a shift in intergenerational storytelling performance. Recent research on multimodality has emphasized its benefits for the interactional process in storytelling. This study examines three aspects of storytelling – participation, multimodality, and emotional interaction – and uses co-creation and multimodal discourse analysis to investigate two questions: (1) To what extent can intergenerational storytelling benefit older people’s community engagement? (2) In a globalized world, how do children’s relationships with modalities create new l…
A family based tailored counselling to increase non-exercise physical activity in adults with a sedentary job and physical activity in their young ch…
2011
Abstract Background Epidemiological evidence suggests that decrease in sedentary behaviour is beneficial for health. This family based randomized controlled trial examines whether face-to-face delivered counselling is effective in reducing sedentary time and improving health in adults and increasing moderate-to-vigorous activities in children. Methods The families are randomized after balancing socioeconomic and environmental factors in the Jyväskylä region, Finland. Inclusion criteria are: healthy men and women with children 3-8 years old, and having an occupation where they self-reportedly sit more than 50% of their work time and children in all-day day-care in kindergarten or in the firs…
Lessons from Remote School and Work
2021
In autumn 2021, Covid-19 still has effect on our daily living and our possibilities to conduct everyday life practices such as work and studies. Current realities of ‘new normality’, based on remote work and restrictions of social activities, for example, are grounded on the vast changes that occurred when the pandemic began. In this text we take a look back to the period of school closures in Finland, and their effect on families’ daily practices related to children’s well-being and school work. We explore the impacts of remote school to learning opportunities to find ways to utilize the new, good practices of remote school also in the future. At the same time, we emphasize the significanc…
Relational analysis and the ethnographic approach : constructing preschool childhood
2021
This article elaborates the relational ontology in an ethnographic study. The aim is to seek relational construction of preschool practice and how children’s positions are constructed in it. The study is based on the understanding that ethnography and relational sociology share the idea that society emerges through repeated relations. The ontological thinking of relational sociology is applied in a micro-level analysis of three episodes from a Finnish preschool. We propose that relations appear in every single ethnographical episode and that carefully analysed repetitive relations can reveal a stabilised organisational structure. The analysis shows how the position of one child is structuri…
