Abstract:
Abstract This perspective outlines the theoretical basis for the presentation with the same name as the second part of this title, which was given at the III STEP conference in July 2005. It elaborates on the take-home message from that talk, which was to promote activity in children and adults with cerebral palsy and other central nervous system disorders. The author proposes that the paradigm for physical therapist management of cerebral palsy needs to shift from traditional or “packaged” approaches to a more focused and proactive approach of promoting activity through more intense active training protocols, lifestyle modifications, and mobility-enhancing devices. Increased motor activity has been shown to lead to better physical and mental health and to augment other aspects of functioning such as cognitive performance, and more recently has been shown to promote neural and functional recovery in people with damaged nervous systems. Although the benefits of fairly intense physical exercise programs such as strength training are becoming increasingly well recognized, few studies on the positive effects of generalized activity programs have been conducted in individuals with cerebral palsy. More research is needed and is currently under way to design and test the efficacy of activity-based strategies in cerebral palsy.

Abstract:
Emerging evidence suggests the immune system has a role in preventing cancer, and in advanced cancer evidence of immune dysfunction is widespread. This project focused on cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4), a key negative regulator of T cell activation found on dedicated regulatory T cells (Treg) and activated T lymphocytes, and asked whether modulation of immune control with anti-CTLA4 blockade led to significant anti-tumour activity. Clinical and laboratory investigation of anti-CTLA4 blockade using tremelimumab in a phase II trial of second-line therapy in advanced oesophageal and gastric adenocarcinomas was combined with an attempt to establish a suitable pre-clinical model based on therapeutic vaccination against the tumour associated antigen (TAA) 5T4.Eighteen patients received tremelimumab. Most drug-related toxicity was mild but there was a single death due to bowel perforation. Four patients had stable disease with clinical benefit; one achieved a partial response after eight cycles (25.4 months) and remains well on study after four years. Markers of regulatory phenotype, forkhead box protein 3 (FoxP3) and CTLA4, doubled transiently in CD4+CD25high lymphocytes in the first month after tremelimumab before returning to baseline. In contrast, CTLA4 increased in CD4+CD25low/negative lymphocytes throughout the cycle of treatment. Post-treatment expanded Treg expressed FoxP3 without interleukin-2 and their defining suppressive function was not abolished despite prolonged anti-CTLA4 blockade. De novo proliferative responses to TAA 5T4 (8 of 18 patients) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; 5 of 15) were detected. Patients with a post-treatment CEA proliferative response had median survival of 17.1 months compared to 4.6 months for non-responders (p=0.002). Baseline interleukin-2 release after T lymphocyte activation was higher in patients with clinical benefit and toxicity. Heterologous mouse 5T4 (m5T4) vaccination showed some evidence of weak therapeutic benefit, but all tumour models investigated had rapidly lethal kinetics. Specific m5T4 immune responses could be detected by serum antibody ELISA and IFN-gamma ELISPOT assays in naive animals but were lower frequency than published responses to h5T4, and were further attenuated in tumour-bearing animals. The addition of anti-CTLA4 blockade did not result in significant augmentation of m5T4 specific immunity after vaccination in non tumour-bearing animals and combination treatment was ineffective as therapy in this autologous model. Results are discussed in the context of emerging immunotherapeutics in melanoma and prostate cancer. In the absence of supportive data from the model system it would not be appropriate to pursue combination heterologous 5T4 vaccine with anti-CTLA4 blockade, but in view of the unusual durability of the best response to tremelimumab, and in vitro evidence of enhanced proliferative responses to relevant TAA, further investigation of drug activity may be warranted in metastatic gastric and oesophageal second-line treatment.

Physiological arousal is an important part of occupational therapy for children with Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) but therapists do not have a way to objectively measure how therapy affects arousal. We hypothesized that when children with SPD participate in guided activities within an occupational therapy setting, informative changes in electrodermal activity (EDA) can be detected using iCalm. iCalm is a small, wireless sensor developed at MIT that measures EDA and motion, worn on the wrist or above the ankle. Twenty-two children (ages 3-10) with a clinical diagnosis of SPD participated. EDA was measured from the backs of the children's ankles. Concurrent video recordings allowed for comparison of therapeutic activities and children's EDA. Overall, we measured 77 therapy sessions. All measurements were in-situ, during regularly scheduled therapy sessions. Statistical analysis describing how equipment affects EDA was inconclusive, suggesting that many factors play a role in how a child's EDA changes. Case studies provided examples of how occupational therapy affected children's EDA. This is the first study of the effects of occupational therapy's in-situ activities using continuous physiologic measures. The results suggest that careful case-study analyses of the relation between therapeutic activities and physiological arousal may inform clinical practice.

Abstract:

This thesis explored the potential of clay work and its symbolic representations as a means to facilitate the integration and individuation of the self in psychotherapy, using a Jungian theoretical framework. A case study methodology was used, to explore a long standing pattern of environmental failure and trauma in a 16 year old female. The Edward's clay work method was utilized to guide the use of the clay work and the discussion and exploration thereof. Central to the study was the importance of a search for meaning given to each clay piece, which was achieved through a dialectical interaction and mutual exploration between therapist and client.

Abstract:
This study was designed to determine the effectiveness of group activity therapy as a school based intervention with fourth and fifth grade preadolescents with learning disabilities experiencing behavior problems. The group activity therapy intervention followed humanistic principles and was designed to address the cognitive and social emotional needs of this population. The preadolescents were provided a variety of developmental appropriate materials and activities to encourage self expression and group interaction. The 24 volunteer preadolescents were randomly assigned to the experimental group (n=12) and to the control group (n=12). The treatment group preadolescents were divided into groups of three and participated in group activity therapy one hour per week for 12 weeks. The participants were assigned to groups according to individual needs and personality traits. The control group received no treatment during the study. Pre and post test data were collected from parents using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBC) and the Behavior Assessment Scale for Children (BASC). Analysis of Covariate (ANCOVA) was utilized to determine statistical significance between the treatment group and the control group on the post-test means for each hypothesis. In each case, the post-test specified in each hypothesis was used as the dependent variable and the pre-test as the covariate. Specifically, the preadolescents in the treatment group showed statistically significant decreases in total behavior problems on the BASC (p=.05) and decreases in internalizing problems on both the BASC and CBC (p=.03, p=.05, respectively). While not statistically significant, positive trends were noted on the CBC total behavior scale (p=.08) and on the CBC externalizing scale (p=.09). In addition, Cohen's d effect size was calculated for each hypothesis and post hoc analysis of the subscales to determine practical significance of the treatment on the experimental group when compared to the control group. A large treatment effect size was found on the BASC (d=.91) and CBC (d=.82) total behavior problems scales and on the BASC (d=1.03) and CBC (d=.90) internalizing problems scales. A moderate to large treatment effect size (d=.78) was found on the CBC externalizing problems scale and a medium treatment effect size (d=.53) was found on the BASC externalizing problems scale. Qualitative data was also examined to determine clinical significance of the intervention. This study determined that group activity therapy is an effective intervention for preadolescents diagnosed with a learning disability.

Abstract:
Skeletal muscle is spatially heterogeneous in muscle fibre type composition and microvascular supply. The capacity to quantify this heterogeneity in skeletal muscle is not routinely performed for it’s a laborious and time consuming technique. We have developed a high throughput data pipeline that utilises the simultaneous immunohistochemical labelling of muscle fibre type and microvascular supply, as an input for a semi-automated analysis software package that allows for the analysis of fine morphometric indices of fibre type composition and the interactions with microvascular supply. We have successfully shown that regional variation in fibre type composition impacts the functional characteristics of a muscle. After successful characterisation of regional heterogeneity in both structure and function we sought to establish their influence in physiological (adaptive) angiogenesis. Utilising animal angiogenic models we have shown that shear stress driven angiogenesis is principally a stochastic response that does not promote improved oxygen delivery when we analyse the spatial heterogeneity of the neovasculature. Conversely, skeletal muscle overload (abluminal stretch of microvasculature) increases the homogeneity of the oxygen supply area of the capillary bed, suggesting a tissue driven angiogenic response that is not evident in shear stress. Spinal cord injury induced rarefaction of the capillary bed attempts to maintain a homogeneous distribution of fibre size and capillary supply. The combination therapy of epidural stimulation and locomotor training can ameliorate the phenotypic change and rarefied capillary bed seen with spinal cord injury to that of intact levels. Endurance and resistance exercise have a largely similar global genomic response following a chronic training regime, which we are able to replicate in animal models of exercise through indirect electrical stimulation. The shear stress and muscle overload driven angiogenic response have distinctly different angiogenic pathways that contain no commonly expressed networks.

Clarke, Kerry. "Physical activity referral schemes : adherence and physical activity behaviour change." Thesis, University of Northampton, 2013. http://nectar.northampton.ac.uk/7483/.

Abstract:
It is well known that engaging in physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of developing non-communicable diseases and improves general health. However, at the time of this research, less than half of the UK population met the recommended levels of PA (DH, 2010). Physical activity referral schemes (PARS) are one of the interventions available in primary care (NICE, 2006a) for disease prevention and health improvement, despite a high dropout rate (Gidlow, 2005) and unknown long-term effectiveness (Pavey et al., 2011). The main aim of the four studies presented in this thesis was to explore the adherence and behaviour change towards PARS in Northamptonshire. The first study measured the long-term change in PA levels after participation in Activity on Referral (AOR). The key outcome was a significant increase in self-reported long-term PA levels (mean difference 1000 MET minutes/week) for 105 adhering participants from a total of 2228 participants. One in every 21 referred individuals self-reported an increase in PA at 12 months. To explore the high levels of non-adherence, an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA; Smith, 1996) was conducted with seven non-adhering AOR participants. The findings showed that being listened to at the point of referral, a range of positive experiences during the induction, alternative opportunities to increase activity, and potential to re-engage in PARS were some of the factors that enhanced adherence. Even though currently the key behaviour change measure for a PA intervention is an increase in PA, there is no gold standard self-reporting PA measure. Therefore, the third study was a comparison that tested the applicability of the new General Practice Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPPAQ) and the internationally validated International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The GPPAQ is recommended to be used as a screening tool by health professionals for the latest PARS called Let‟s Get Moving (LGM). There was a significantly weak association between IPAQ and GPPAQ. Hence, the GPPAQ is only recommended to be used as a PA screening tool and not for evaluating PA levels for PARS research studies. The final study was based on the new LGM physical activity care pathway which included a brief intervention using Motivational Interviewing (MI), a communication style that elicits the individuals‟ ambivalence regarding PA. Eight out of 21 participants self-reported a PA increase at 6 months and the MI used during the PARS was coded at beginner level. The two PARS included in this thesis were compared for adherence; LGM adherence was 65% compared to 23% AOR adherence at 3 months. In conclusion, this research has demonstrated that PA levels do increase for PARS participants in the long term, but the dropout rate can be concerning. By using a mixed-methods approach, the lived experience of participants enhances the understanding of reasons behind non-adherence. The comparative study involving LGM and AOR samples showed that interventions with elements of MI might be a better investment of commissioned resources.

Abstract:
Research shows that preadolescent females are more prone to negative self-perceptions than their male counterparts which places them at greater risk of developing mental health problems stemming from low self-image. The purpose of this randomized, controlled outcome study was to examine the effectiveness of group activity play therapy (GAPT) compared to an evidenced based social skills/self-esteem group. Participants were 29 fourth and fifth grade girls in two Title I schools in the southwest U.S. referred by teachers and school counselors as presenting with low self-esteem. Participants identified as 45% Latina, 38% Caucasian, 14% African American, and 3% Asian. Children were randomly assigned to either 16 sessions of GAPT (experimental group; n = 15) or 13 sessions of an evidenced based social skills/self-esteem group intervention (control group; n = 14). Results from a 2 (Group) by 3 (Times) repeated measures ANOVA indicated that, compared to the control group over time, the GAPT group reported statistically significant improvement in self-esteem with a moderate to large treatment effect. Teachers did not report a statistically significant difference between the two groups over time. However, teachers reported noteworthy improvement for children in both treatment groups, with generally stronger improvement for the GAPT group. Overall, results indicate that GAPT may be a promising school-based intervention for preadolescent females suffering with low self-esteem.

Abstract:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic progressive neurological disease afflicting mostly young adults in North America, predominantly women. MS has little effect on life span but significant effect on quality of life. Despite the known benefits of exercise, evidence shows that persons with chronic disabling conditions such as MS are less physically active. Considering this, a deeper understanding of persons with MS and their exercise engagements and concerns is a crucial first step. The first part of this thesis presents existing evidence and methodological issues associated with randomized controlled trials estimating the effects of exercise interventions among persons with MS. The second part identifies current exercise engagement, preferences, and barriers of 417 community-dwelling ambulatory persons with MS. A subset of this group participated in the semi-structured interviews and provided their feedback on the design of an exercise approach. This information was used to design the next phase of the project - a pilot randomized controlled study trial evaluating the feasibility and efficacy of the Multiple Sclerosis Tailored Exercise Program (MSTEP). The development of MSTEP is also demonstrated in the third part of the thesis. The fourth and last part presents two cases from people completing all phases of the MSTEP protocol. The results of the studies show that exercise preferences and barriers may be associated with one's decision to be physically active or inactive. The available data from the on-going pilot study of the MSTEP presents evidence supporting its feasibility (and some level of efficacy) from both the participants' and the scientific point of view. Furthermore, the favorable nature of the qualitative information obtained from the participants as well as the absence of reported injuries, accidents, or extreme fatigue due to exercise, both amplify our confidence in the MSTEP and its ability to promote active living and good health in this community.
La sclérose en plaques (SP) est une maladie neurologique progressive qui afflige principalement les jeunes adultes en Amérique du Nord et majoritairement les femmes. La SP a peu d'effet sur la durée de vie, mais a un effet significatif sur la qualité de vie. Bien que les bénéfices de l'exercice soient connus, il a été démontré que les personnes atteintes d'une maladie chronique, telle que la SP, sont physiquement moins actives. Considérant ces faits, une compréhension profonde des personnes atteintes de SP, de leur engagement face à l'exercice et de leur préoccupation représente une première étape cruciale. La première partie de cette thèse présente les preuves existantes ainsi que les problèmes méthodologiques associés aux études contrôlées randomisées qui mesurent l'effet des interventions impliquant l'exercice chez les personnes atteintes de SP. La seconde partie identifie les engagements actuels face à l'exercice, les préférences ainsi que les barrières de 417 personnes atteinte de SP vivant dans la communauté ambulatoire. Un sous-groupe de cette population a participé à des entrevues semi-structurées et ont donné leur avis sur l'élaboration d'un programme d'exercices. Cette information a été utilisée pour le développement de la phase suivante de ce projet – un projet pilot contrôlé randomisé évaluant la faisabilité et l'efficacité d'un programme d'exercices personnalisés pour la SP (« Multiple Sclerosis Tailored Exercise Program (MSTEP) ». Le développement du MSTEP est aussi démontré dans la troisième partie de cette thèse. La quatrième et dernière section présente le cas de deux participants ayant complété toutes les phases du programme MSTEP. Les résultats des études démontrent que les préférences ainsi que les barrières de l'exercice peuvent être associées avec la décision de chacun d'être physiquement actif ou non. Les données disponibles sur l'étude pilote en cours portant sur le MSTEP présentent des résultats supportant sa faisabilité (et un certain niveau d'efficacité) tant sur le point de vue des participants que celui scientifique. De plus, la nature favorable des informations qualitatives recueillies de la part des participants ainsi que l'absence de blessures rapportées, d'accidents ou d'extrême fatigue dû à l'exercice, amplifient notre confiance dans le MSTEP et sa capacité de promouvoir une vie active et une bonne santé dans cette population.

Abstract:
Physical activity (PA) has numerous benefits for cancer survivors, but limited research exists on PA interventions in young adult cancer survivors. Outdoor adventure therapy is a potential method of increasing PA in this demographic. The primary purpose of this non-randomized parallel group study was to determine whether the outdoor adventure camp experience (vs. wait list control) would increase participants’ PA levels immediately following the 7-day camp, as well as three months later. Secondary aims examined correlates of greater PA, including pre-post camp changes in sedentary behavior, exercise self-efficacy, environmental change self-efficacy, perceived barriers to exercise, physical activity enjoyment, and physical activity variety. Sixty-six control and 50 intervention participants were given validated quantitative questionnaires at baseline, 1 week (end of camp) and at the 3-month follow-up. Repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (RMANOVA) was used to compare group changes over time. Using intent to treat analysis, adjusting for age, gender, age at diagnosis, and baseline minutes of PA per week, there was a significant difference (p=.0001) in minutes of PA per week between groups at both 1 week and 3 months. Bonferroni adjusted post-hoc analysis indicated that, relative to baseline, the intervention group had significantly (p=.0001) greater increases in PA at both 1 week (577 minutes vs. 9 minute increases) and 3 month follow-ups (133 minute increases vs. 75 minute decreases; p=.001) respectively. Significant intervention-related improvements were also observed in TV viewing hours/week (p=.001), hours sitting/week (p=.001), “Excuses” score of the Perceived Barriers to PA questionnaire (p=.04), Enjoyment of Structured Activities (p=.04), and PA Variety (p=.0001) at 1 week but not at the 3 month follow-up. No significant effects were observed for changes in exercise self-efficacy, environmental change self-efficacy, or the other subscales scores. In conclusion, outdoor adventure therapy has the potential to increase PA levels in cancer survivors both immediately following camp, as well as long-term. However, effects tend to wane after camp termination. Future research should explore the relationship between correlates of PA and PA levels in outdoor adventure therapy camp participants and methods to promote sustained PA after camp termination.

Abstract:
The inactivation of factors VIII:C, V:C and fast acting TPA inhibitor by activated Protein C indicates that oral anticoagulation is more than simple reduction of prothrombin complex activity. To investigate these changes, six patients were studied after stopping oral anticoagulant treatment. Protein C activity and C antigen, Factors VIII:C, VIII:vWFAg, V:C, V:Ag, X:C, VII:C, fibrinogen and TPA activity were measured during long-term nicoumalone therapy (duration of therapy 8-96 months, mean 28 months), and after discontinuation on days 2, 4, 8, 10, 15, 30 and 42.The INR on the last day of therapy ranged between 2.0 - 3.3, (mean 2.6). Protein C activity and antigen and factor X became normal by day 8; factor II by day 10. Factor VII activity peaked on day 8, falling to resting levels by day 30. Factor VIII parameters remained high throughout, whereas Factor V antigen showed no significant change. Factor V activity was not quantifiable untill day 8 because of non-parallelism (? PIVKA effect), but was higher on day 8 than day 42 (p < 0.002 paired “t” test) . The higher levels of factor V activity could be protein C dependent, but the high factor VIII appears unrelated. Fibrinogen levels were higher on coumarin treatment (p < 0.05 paired “t” test) and took 30 days to fall to resting level. The effect of Protein C on TPA inhibitor would be expected to increase the activity of TPA, but this activity remained unchanged. Raised fibrinogen levels did not, therefore, appear to be mediated by the effect of protein C on fibrinolysis. Fibrinogen levels in plasma influence ADP induced platelet aggregation which is known to be increased in patients receiving coumarin drugs. In conclusion, patients on coumarin treatment, in addition to showing a reduction in protein C activity, also have higher fibrinogen levels and increased platelet aggregability all of which may be undesirable.

Abstract:
This project aims to appraise evidence of the effectiveness of various practices on reducing stress, anxiety, and depression among parents of infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The project contains six research articles from both national and international journals. Study designs include one meta-analysis, one randomized controlled trial, one small scale randomized controlled trial, one prospective phase lag cohort study, on pretest-posttest study, and one mixed-methods pretest-posttest study. Recommendations for effective interventions were based on best evidence discovered through quality appraisal and study outcomes. All interventions, except for educational programs and Kangaroo Care, resulted in a statistically significant reduction of either stress, anxiety, and/ or depression. Family centered care and mindfulness-based intervention reduced all barriers of interest. There is strong and high-quality evidence for the effect of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on depression, moderate evidence for the effect of activity-based group therapy on anxiety, and promising evidence for the effect of HUG Your Baby on stress.

Abstract:
[Extract from Executive Summary] To enhance sustainability and foster resilience within Scotland’s inshore fishing communities an effective system of collecting and sharing relevant data is required. To support business decisions made by vessel owners as well as informing fisheries managers and those involved in marine planning it will be vital to collect a range of information which will provide a robust understanding of fishing activity, the economic value of the sector and its importance within local communities. The SIFIDS Project was conceived to assist in attaining these goals by working alongside fishers to develop and test technology to automatically collect and collate data on board vessels, thereby reducing the reporting burden on fishers. The project built upon previous research funded through the European Fisheries Fund (EFF) and was designed to deliver a step change in the way that inshore fisheries in Scotland could be managed in cooperation with the industry. The project focussed on inshore fishing vessels around Scotland, where spatio-temporal information on the distribution of vessels and associated fishing effort is data deficient. The whole project was broken down into 12 highly integrated work packages. This is the integrated report for work packages 2A and 2B, entitled’ Development and Pilot Deployment of a Prototypic Autonomous Fisheries Data Harvesting System’ (2A) and ‘Investigation into the Availability and Adaptability of Novel Technological Approaches to Data Collection’ (2B).
