Background: Mental health problems in the workplace are an important issue globally, and return-to-work (RTW) programs for people on sick leave because of mental health problems are being developed. However, participants' situations and states are various and there are few assessment tools.

: Background and Objectives: A knee - ankle - foot orthosis (KAFO) has been clinically used for individuals with stroke, but its effect is still unclear. This study was to evaluate the immediate effects of a KAFO on the standing reach of individuals with subacute stroke. Method: This study adopted a cross-sectional experimental design. A total of 31 inpatients with subacute stroke (mean age, 66.5 ± 14.4 years; mean poststroke interval at admission, 26.2 ± 10.1 days) were enrolled in the study. The func tional reach test (FRT) was used to measure the standing reach of the participants with or without a KAFO. The participants were divided into the following groups on the basis of the results of FRT without a KAFO: group 1 comprised patients who were unable to reach without a KAFO (n = 22), and group 2 comprised patients who had the ability to reach without a KAFO (n = 9). Results: In group 1, the proportion of participants who could reach with a KAFO significantly increased ( p = 0.002). In group 2, the mean standing reach with a KAFO (25.4 ± 6.7 cm) was significantly longer than that without a KAFO (20.3 ± 7.0 cm) ( p = 0.021). Conclusion: The use of a KAFO may immediately improve the standing reach of individuals with subacute stroke. Results show that a KAFO may be an effective device for improving standing reach and can be used to develop rehabil itation programs for individuals with subacute stroke.

Objective: The influence of myoelectric hand training on the ability of amputees to operate a prosthetic hand has not been fully verified. This study aimed to investigate the effects of single-handed and dual-handed tasks on the ability of amputees to use a myoelectric prosthetic hand in training. Method: The subjects were unilateral transradial amputees (n=12). The training effects of each task were measured by assigning the myoelectric hand prosthesis users to two groups and conducting a crossover study: one group performed the single-handed task first followed by the dual-handed task, and the other group did the opposite. The Southampton Hand Assessment Procedure (SHAP) score was used to assess the subjects’ ability to control the myoelectric prosthetic

: Introduction: Peer support programs are mainly studied by hospitals and medical professionals, and further research is needed on their impact on quality of life (QOL). The purpose of this study was to investigate the type of community-based peer support program that is effective for improving the QOL of cancer survivors. Method: A systematic review was performed using the following procedures: (1) randomized controlled trials aimed at improving QOL were searched from PubMed and Igaku Chuo Zasshi, (2) papers that met the inclusion criteria were selected, and (3) the papers were assessed for quality by using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials. Results: Results showed that four studies met the eligibility criteria, and three of them showed statistically significant improvements in QOL. The peers instructed in programs were breast cancer survivors who had been diagnosed one to three years earlier. Furthermore, peers received special training for approximately eight hours per session for a total of two to seven days before providing support to the participants. Conclusion: Few programs have been fully applied in Japan. In terms of program effectiveness and risk of bias, pro grams that include obtaining support and managing activities that affect mood may be effective. Furthermore, the im portance of taking enough time to help cancer survivors trust each other and provide support according to the patient’s wishes and available community resources was demonstrated.
引言:同伴支持计划主要由医院和医疗专业人员进行研究，其对生活质量(QOL)的影响有待进一步研究。本研究的目的是探讨以社区为基础的同伴支持计划对改善癌症幸存者生活质量的有效性。方法:采用以下方法进行系统评价:(1)从PubMed和Igaku Chuo Zasshi中检索旨在改善生活质量的随机对照试验，(2)选择符合纳入标准的论文，(3)使用修订后的Cochrane随机试验风险偏倚工具对论文进行质量评价。结果:4项研究符合入选标准，其中3项研究的生活质量有统计学意义的改善。在项目中接受指导的同龄人是乳腺癌幸存者，他们在一到三年前就被诊断出来了。此外，在为参与者提供支持之前，同行们接受了每次约8小时的特殊培训，共计2至7天。结论:在日本很少有项目得到充分应用。就项目的有效性和偏见风险而言，包括获得支持和管理影响情绪的活动的项目可能是有效的。此外，花足够的时间来帮助癌症幸存者相互信任，并根据患者的意愿和现有的社区资源提供支持的重要性得到了证明。
