Background and Purpose: Depression is a biological based mental illness that can have lastingemotional and physical effects. It frequently goes unrecognized in primary care, but screening has beenshown to increase detection and can lead to improved outcomes when linked to adequate treatment. TheHamilton Rating Scale for Depression has been commonly used for the assessment of depression inclinical practice. A finding of the depression following Stroke, COPD, Neck pain, Back pain and OAknee indirectly affect prognosis of the rehabilitation which is documented in many literatures but howmuch it is affected in particular disease is still controversy. So keeping this in the view the objectiveof the study is to find out depression rate in clinical condition of Stroke, COPD, Neck pain, Back painand OA knee.Method: Thirty patients of subacute and chronic conditions (>3 months of duration) of COPD, Stroke,Back pain, Neck Pain and OA knee in each group were included for the study. The Hamilton Ratingscale for Depression was taken and the patient was categorized as mild, moderate and severe.Result & Conclusion: Prevalence of depression was higher in COPD (21.23 ± 8.21(SD)) and Stroke(19.53± 7.54 (SD)) patients compared to other clinical condition whereas severely depressed patientswere found in COPD and Back pain (19.53± 7.54 (SD)) groups.
背景与目的:抑郁症是一种基于生物学的精神疾病,它会对情绪和身体产生持久的影响。它经常在初级保健中被忽视,但筛查已被证明可以提高检测率,并且如果与适当的治疗相结合,可以改善结果。汉密尔顿抑郁症评定量表已被广泛用于抑郁症临床实践的评估。卒中、慢性阻塞性肺病、颈痛、背痛和OAknee后的抑郁间接影响康复预后,这一发现在许多文献中都有记载,但对特定疾病的影响程度仍存在争议。因此,考虑到这一点,本研究的目的是了解中风、慢性阻塞性肺病、颈痛、背痛和OA膝关节的临床抑郁率。方法:选取慢性阻塞性肺病、脑卒中、腰痛、颈痛、OA膝关节患者各30例(病程>3个月)作为研究对象。采用汉密尔顿抑郁量表(Hamilton Ratingscale for Depression),将患者分为轻度、中度和重度。结果与结论:COPD组(21.23±8.21(SD))和卒中组(19.53±7.54 (SD))抑郁发生率高于其他临床疾病组(19.53±7.54 (SD)), COPD组(19.53±7.54 (SD))抑郁发生率高于其他临床疾病组(19.53±7.54 (SD))。

Background: The rapid growth of the elderly population has resulted in a corresponding rise in thenumber of elderly individuals who experience disability during their lifetimes.Objective: The purpose of this study was to test the usefulness of four established clinical measures ofbalance, gait, and subjective perceptions of fear of falling as screening methods for referring communityindividuals living in residential care for detailed physical therapy evaluation and possible intervention.Methods: 50 elderly individuals living in two residential care for the elderly were tested on clinicalmeasures of balance and mobility. Their performance on these measures was compared with a physicaltherapist’s brief evaluation of disability and appropriateness for more detailed evaluation. The usefulnessof these tools as screening methods was determined by calculating validating levels using the physicaltherapist’s evaluation as a standard.Results: Thus, it can be analysed thatthe p < 0.0001 was kept as a highly significant reference value.Conclusion: This study concludes that screening for balance and gait in elderly stroke patients witha combination of components which mainly measures the balance and gait using the performanceoriented mobility assessment (POMA) scale gives the highest validity for the screening of strokepatients compared to the other scales.

Background: Romantic relationship satisfaction is defined as an interpersonal evaluation of thepositivity of feelings for one’s partner and attraction to the relationship. Relationship satisfaction ispositively related to life satisfaction and subjective well-being. The satisfaction and dissatisfactionin romantic relationship may contribute to different features such as loneliness, communication andcloseness in a relationship. So it is necessary for us to understand the prevalence of loneliness andcommunication in ones relationship and their level of satisfaction. The aim of the study is to assessthe level of satisfaction and dissatisfaction in romantic relationship and to find the degree of perceivedloneliness in romantic relationship.Methods: A total of 50 participants participated in the study, out of which 40% were male and 10% werefemale. Relationship Assessment Scale, Relationship Satisfaction Scale, UCLA Loneliness Scale wereused to assess the Relationship status, Relationship satisfaction and degree of Loneliness respectively.Findings of our study suggested that most of the participants had poor relationship status (80%); theywere extremely dissatisfied with their relationship (94%) and reported high degree of loneliness (68%).Conclusion: The study concluded that the poor is romantic relationship status the lonelier one will feel.Some of the common dissatisfying features in romantic relationships are worry about the relationship,worry about the future, a lack of time, conflict and stress, expectations and love from partner in therelationship doesn’t meet and these factors leads to feeling of loneliness. As an Occupational Therapistwe can intervene and plan out the strategies to decrease the level of loneliness and dissatisfaction inorder to improve the relationship.

Background: Stroke is one of the diseases affecting the nervous system which controls the lowerurinary tract. Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a broad term of subjective urinary tract symptomsand may vary according to the course of disease. The presence of Lower urinary tract dysfunction is anegative prognostic indicator for a variety of health and rehabilitation outcomes across the spectrumof care. This study was carried out to find whether severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction has aninfluence on functional status among ambulant stroke survivors.Methodology: 20 ambulant stroke survivors with the mean age of 68.55±8.02 were evaluated usingCore Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score to assess the severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction andBarthel Index to assess the functional status.Conclusion: This pilot study found weak negative correlation (r=-0.26) between Core lower urinarytract symptom score and functional status; however it was found to be statistically non-significant(p>0.05).

This study was carried out to find whether severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction has aninfluence on functional status among ambulant stroke survivors.Methodology: 20 ambulant stroke survivors with the mean age of 68.55±8.02 were evaluated usingCore Lower Urinary Tract Symptom Score to assess the severity of lower urinary tract dysfunction andBarthel Index to assess the functional status.Conclusion: This pilot study found weak negative correlation (r=-0.26) between Core lower urinarytract symptom score and functional status; however it was found to be statistically non-significant(p>0.05).","PeriodicalId":243536,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123336380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Functional community ambulation demands the ability to accomplish both mobility andcognitive tasks at the same time (dual-tasking). When gait and cognitive deficits are done concurrently,this is referred to as cognitive-motor interference. Some hypothesis says that Individuals with lowbalance confidence would have higher cognitive-motor interference, indicating a behavioral changeduring dual-task settings. The purpose of this study is to see if cognitive-motor interference is linked tostroke patients’ confidence in their balance.Methodology: The participants in this pilot trial were sub-acute and chronic community-dwelling strokesurvivors. The MFES questionnaire assessed balance confidence. Participants completed four 10-meterwalking trails to evaluate Cognitive-Motor Interference. Two of the walking trails were performedwithout any additional tasks, while the other two were completed with a concurrent cognitive challenge.Conclusion: A total of 30 people participated in this study, with a mean age of 64±7.7 years. Pearsoncorrelation discovered a statistically significant (p=<0.05) negative correlation (r=-0.202) betweenbalance confidence and CMI. This study found that balance confidence is not associated with cognitivemotor interference in stroke patients
