Abstract Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effect of exercise on anxiety in cancer patients using systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials. Methods For this study, three databases including PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library were searched by using keywords. In addition, a hand search was performed on Google Scholar. Mean and standard deviation were extracted from each study and then converted to Hedges’ g. Analyzes were performed using random-effects methods. Heterogeneity was assessed in studies using chi-squared and I 2. Result Finally, 31 randomized control trial studies were selected to enter the meta-analysis. Cancer patients who exercise are less anxious than controls and the Hedges’ g was equal to –0.37 (CI –0.55 to –0.19; p < 0.001). Discussion It is necessary to consider the issue of necessary interventions for anxiety in treatment protocols and interventions for cancer patients, and exercise in the meantime can be beneficial.

Abstract Sling mobility training consists of passive and active exercises in slings suspended from the ceiling. We report the effects of music-based sling mobility training for patients with Parkinson’s disease over a one-year follow-up period. Four participants with Parkinson’s disease, aged 64 to 80 years participated in this study. All participants underwent music-based sling mobility training five times per week for one year. The outcome measures included the Part III of the unified Parkinson’s disease rating scale (UPDRS-III), Berg balance scale, 10-meter walk test, 6-minute walk test (6MWT), modified Barthel index (MBI), and Parkinson’s disease questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39). After six months of training, all four participants showed noticeably improved scores for all tests. Furthermore, gains were maintained after one year of training. These findings suggest that music-based sling mobility training might be helpful in enhancing physical performance, activities of daily living, and quality of life in individuals with Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract Aim This study investigated the effect of a rhythmic sling mobility exercise program on cognitive and functional ability in community-dwelling older adults with dementia. Methods Forty patients with dementia were allocated into either the experimental group (n1 = 21) that performed the rhythmic sling mobility exercise program while listening to their favorite popular music, or the control group (n2 = 19) that performed daily routine activities. The intervention was performed for an average of 1 hour 5 times a week for 4 months. Results There were changes between the pretest and post-test values of cognition and functional ability between the two groups that indicate significant improvement, with medium to large effects size (d) (MMSE: −0.548; GS: −0.842; BBS: −1.700; 10MWT: −0.656; and MBI: −1.303). Conclusion These findings suggest that the rhythmic sling mobility exercise program may be used to improve cognitive and functional recovery in community-dwelling older adults with dementia.

Abstract Aim To explore the implications of digital use on the wellbeing of older people during the pandemic. Method 33 adults aged 70 and above responded to an online and phone survey, a communication technology usage questionnaire, and the Personal Wellbeing Index-Adult (PWI-A). A Spearman test determined the correlation between frequency of communication technology usage and wellbeing. Results A significant medium correlation (r=.488, p=.004) was found between frequent digital communication usage and a higher average score on the PWI-A. Significant correlations were found between frequent technology use and health satisfaction (r=.377, p=.03), a sense of personal security (r=.404, p=.02), and a sense of future security (r=.597, p≤.001). Of all the communication platforms, video calls and emails yielded the most significant positive correlations with personal wellbeing. Conclusion Results suggest that frequent users of communication technology felt greater levels of wellbeing and life satisfaction during the pandemic than non-frequent users.

Abstract Aims 1) Gain insight into PA prescription by United States-based physical therapists treating patients 50 years and older, and 2) Explore the contextual factors that impact PA prescription. Methods We integrated ethnographic study data, including a questionnaire, observations, and semi-structured interviews. Results Our nine participants with 24.7 years (SD= 11.6) of clinical experience completed frequent PA assessments, but PA prescription was inconsistent. The following themes helped explain the participants’ clinical decisions: 1) treatment prioritization; 2) physical therapists’ intentions of addressing PA; and 3) contextual factors that impact treatment and treatment prioritization (e.g., experience, beliefs, concerns related to PA prescription, and work environment). Conclusions Most participants did not address PA among adults 50 years and older. Due to the importance of performing regular PA, it is vital for physical therapists to reflect on their PA prescription. Organizations and health service researchers need to implement strategies that address the PA prescription barriers.

Abstract Aims The present review was aimed to indicate the existing effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) use in stroke patients with shoulder symptoms. Methods The literature search was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) databases. The quality assessment was accomplished using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. A narrative synthesis was conducted to present the results. Results Thirteen studies were included in the study. The contribution of the KT to internal and external range of motion (ROM), specifically flexion and abduction, was emphasized. KT’s additional advantages to reducing pain, spasticity, and increasing motor function (including electromyography findings) were highlighted. Function scores and stroke staging of the individuals were improved with reducing the severity of the subluxation and a more stable shoulder joint. Conclusion The present systematic review reported the positive effects of KT on shoulder pain, spasticity, passive-ROM, active-ROM, and motor function in individuals with stroke.

Abstract Aim: Describe the 3- and 6-month outcomes and perceptions of older adults who participated in a HOP-UP-PT clinical trial. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to HOP-UP-PT participants to garner frequency of self-reported falls, healthcare utilization, perceptions of interventions, and fiscal considerations 3- and 6- months after program completion. Results: 76 total respondents, mean age 77 (SD = 7) years and 75% female. A fall was reported by 12% and 16%, additional therapy needs by 16% and 17%, and hospitalization by 3% and 6% at the 3- and 6-month encounters, respectively. Respondents agreed or strongly agreed to positive benefits of the HOP-UP-PT interventions as follows: exercise (71%, 69%), wearable activity monitor (59%, 59%), automated blood pressure monitor (78%, 87%), and improved nutrition (48%, 41%). Respondents were willing to contribute 10% of program cost and 93% supported insurers covering the cost gap. Conclusion: HOP-UP-PT participants had positive outcomes and perceptions in after program participation.

Abstract Objective The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of exercising on a vibratory platform on older adults’ lower limb performance, muscle activation and balance. Design A total of 44 volunteers exercised on a vibratory platform. For half of them (random assignment), the platform vibrated at 40 Hz with 4 mm displacements and for the other half, the platform was off. Lower limb isokinetic performance, neuromuscular activity and balance were assessed before and after exercise protocol. Results A significant increase was observed in 3 of the 4 dynamometric variables evaluated along with increased soleus muscle activation, with no difference between the groups. Conclusion Squatting exercises had immediate effects on neuromuscular performance, muscle activation and balance. However, whole body vibration did not magnify the effects of squatting exercises on older adults. Clinical Trials NCT03356418.

Abstract Aims To clarify associations between changes in going out after lifting a stay-at-home order and decrease in higher-level functional capacities among older adults with impairments. Methods This study was conducted using questionnaires completed by people registered in two day-service facilities and a nursing station. A baseline survey was conducted during Japan’s declaration of emergency for the coronavirus disease 2019, and follow-up surveys were conducted in 4, 8, and 12 months after the declaration was lifted. We performed binary logistic regression analyses to clarify the above associations Results There were significant associations between Δ sum of purposes of going out and the decrease in higher-level functional capacities in 4 months (OR 0.57) and in 8 months (OR 0.47). Conclusions Increasing the sum of purposes of going out after lifting a stay-at-home order was associated with lower odds for a decrease in higher-level functional capacities in 4 and 8 months.

We performed binary logistic regression analyses to clarify the above associations Results There were significant associations between Δ sum of purposes of going out and the decrease in higher-level functional capacities in 4 months (OR 0.57) and in 8 months (OR 0.47). Conclusions Increasing the sum of purposes of going out after lifting a stay-at-home order was associated with lower odds for a decrease in higher-level functional capacities in 4 and 8 months.","PeriodicalId":45387,"journal":{"name":"PHYSICAL & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY IN GERIATRICS","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44192634","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}
