The purpose of this study was to describe international perspectives concerning terms, definitions, and meanings of adapted physical activity (APA) as (a) activities or service delivery, (b) a profession, and (c) an academic field of study. Gergen’s social constructionism, our theory, guided analysis of multiple sources of data via qualitative methodology. Data sources were online surveys, APA literature, and expertise of researchers. Findings, with the identification of further considerations, were provided for each APA component to stimulate reflection and further inquiry among international professionals with diverse backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
The article provides a definitive analysis of the base concepts of the study of forming the readiness of future speech therapists to apply adapted physical exercises in future professional activities. Clarified the concepts of «speech therapist», «specialist», «professional speech therapist». Examined the concepts of «professional education», «professional training», «professional self-determination» as the components of the base concept «professional activity». The base concept of «adapted physical exercises» is explained through the key terms of «physical education», «adaptation», «exercise», «movement», «tone», «muscles»; clarified the concepts of «professional readiness» and «formation of readiness». The ultimate base concept of the study is formulated that «the readability of future speech therapists to apply adapted physical exercises in future professional activities» is interpreted as an integrated education that allows organizing corrective work with children of all ages with different speech disorders aimed at effectively overcoming speech disorders (or improvement I will become), consolidate and stabilize the results of corrective work in the future life of the child through the use of adapted physical exercises. The final base concept of the research is formulated that, «the readiness of future speech therapists to apply adapted physical exercises in future professional activities» is interpreted as an integrated formation/education that allows organizing corrective work with children of all ages with different speech disorders, aimed at effectively overcoming speech disorders (or improvement of well being), consolidation and stabilization formation of the results of corrective work in the future life of a child through the use of adapted physical exercises. One of the promising directions of our further research on this problem is the formation of the content of disciplines focused on the formation of readiness of future speech therapists to apply adapted physical exercises in future professional activities.

Full textAbstract:
Au regard de la littérature, il est bien identifié que l’obésité et le vieillissement altèrent les capacités de l’équilibre et de la marche des individus, altérations potentiellement associées à une plus grande difficulté à réaliser les activités de la vie quotidienne. Nous pouvons alors nous interroger sur les effets combinés du vieillissement et de l’obésité sur les capacités de l’équilibre et de la marche. Dans ce travail de thèse, nous avons, tout d’abord, montré que l’obésité présente une contrainte additionnelle sur les modifications des capacités de l’équilibre et de la marche liées au vieillissement, favorisant l’augmentation des limitations fonctionnelles chez une population âgée obèse. Ensuite, nous avons rapporté qu’un programme d’activités physiques adaptées basé sur des exercices d’équilibre, de renforcement musculaire et de motricité était une modalité de prise en charge efficace chez les personnes âgées obèses, permettant d’améliorer leurs capacités neuromusculaires au niveau des membres inférieurs, et par conséquent, leurs capacités d’équilibre et de la marcheIt is well recognized that obesity and aging impair individuals balance and walking abilities. These alterations are potentially associated with greater difficulty in performing activities of daily life. However, the magnitude of the effects on functional abilities of the combination of aging and obesity, as observed in obese elderly,requires further investigations. Through this thesis work, we, first of all, showed that obesity presents an additional constraint to age throughout the process of stabilization and walking in elderly. This aggravates the functional limitations in the obese elderly in activities of daily life. Then, we reported that an adapted physical activities program based on balance, muscular reinforcement and mobility exercices optimize balance and walking abilities of obese elderly in extreme situations likely by developing their neuromuscular capacities in the lower limbs

Full textAbstract:
L’évolution croissante de l’obésité n’épargne pas les adolescents présentant une déficience intellectuelle. Nos travaux reposent sur le principe d’une « recherche- action » avec pour but l’amélioration de la prise en charge des personnes en situation de handicap mental. Réalisées dans 5 instituts médico-éducatifs, notre première étude montre que plus de 40% des adolescents déficients intellectuels présentent un excès de masse grasse. Plus de 30% des adolescents rapportent un faible niveau d’activité physique et seule la moitié pratiquerait suffisamment d’activité physique pour lutter contre le développement de l’obésité. De plus, les adolescents les plus actifs présentent moins de risques de développer un excès de masse grasse. Leur faible niveau de condition physique observé est un facteur de risque élevé pour la santé. Pour ces jeunes présentant un handicap mental, cela constitue un « sur-handicap » qui peut accentuer la restriction de participation sociale et altérer la qualité de vie. Etre actif au quotidien permettrait de limiter les risques pour la santé, notamment de limiter le développement de l’obésité. De ce fait, un programme d’Activité Physique Adaptée a été proposé aux jeunes repérés en situation de sur-adiposité. Celui-ci a permis d’augmenter les temps de pratique d’activité physique et de stabiliser l’évolution du poids, tout en diminuant la masse grasse et le tour de taille. L’approche interdisciplinaire de cette recherche nous a permis de considérer l’évolution du concept de soi chez ce public spécifique et de constater qu’il n’était pas altéré par cette prise en charge visant le contrôle du poidsThe growing evolution of obesity has not spared children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities. Ours studies based on "research-action", with the aim of improving care for people with mental disabilities. Conducted in 5 specialized schools, our first study shows that over 40% of adolescents with intellectual disabilities have an excess body fat. More than 30% of adolescents report a low physical activity level, and only half reaches enough physical activity to avoid an excess of body fat. Moreover, the most active adolescents are less likely to develop an excess body fat. Their low level of physical fitness is a high risk factor to health. For these adolescent with intellectual disabilities, this is an "extra-handicap" which may increase the restriction of social participation and impair quality of life. Being active daily would reduce the health risks, including limiting the obesity development. Thus, we proposed an Adapted Physical Activity program to over-fatness adolescents. This program has helped to increase level of physical activity and stabilize weight, while decreasing fat mass and waist circumference. The interdisciplinary approach of this research has allowed us to consider the evolution of self-concept and to note that it was not altered by this weight management program

Darbe atlikta fizinę negalią turinčių asmenų socializacijos sampratos analizė, identifikuotos neįgaliųjų įsitraukimo į taikomąją fizinę veiklą problemos, atskleistas taikomosios fizinės veiklos poveikis neįgaliųjų gyvenimo kokybei teoriniu aspektu.
Iškelta hipotezė, kad neįgaliųjų dalyvaujančių sportinėje veikloje fizinio aktyvumo, pasitenkinimo gyvenimu ir požiūrio į savo negalią rodikliai yra geresni nei nedalyvaujančių neįgaliųjų.
Anketinės apklausos metodu buvo atliktas tyrimas, kurio tikslas – palyginti sportuojančių ir nesportuojančių fiziškai neįgalių asmenų gyvenimo kokybės rodiklius.
Tyrime dalyvavo 111 judėjimo negalią turinčių asmenų, patyrusių stuburo smegenų traumas.
Empirinėje dalyje analizuojamas taikomosios fizinės ir sportinės veiklos poveikis judėjimo negalią turintiems asmenims psichosocialinių funkcijų aspektu.
Svarbiausios empirinio tyrimo išvados:
1. Sportuojantys fizinę negalią turintys respondentai jaučia didesnį pasitenkinimą gyvenimu nei nesportuojantys. Fiziškai aktyvūs respondentai palankiau vertina savo psichinę sveikatą, be to sportuojančių apklaustųjų įtampą sukeliančių veiksnių rodikliai žemesni nei nesportuojančių.
2. Sportuojančių neįgaliųjų požiūris į savo negalią, kur kas palankesnis nei nesportuojančių. Fizine bei sportine veikla užsiimantys neįgalieji linkę labiau pasitikėti savo jėgomis, net ir tuomet kai jiems nesudarytos palankios sąlygos.

Full textAbstract:
Contexte : Les tests de marche de 6 minutes (TM6) et de stepper de 6 minutes (TS6) permettent d’évaluer et de suivre en routine la tolérance à l’effort des patients porteurs pneumopathies interstitielles idiopathiques fibrosantes (PII-f). En général, les programmes de réhabilitation respiratoire (RR), améliorent la tolérance à l’effort et la performance à ces tests, la qualité de vie et les symptômes chez les patients atteints de PII-f, qu’ils soient réalisés en centre ou au domicile des patients. Peu d’études rapportent un maintien des bénéfices de la RR plusieurs mois après la fin de celle-ci chez les patients PII-f.Objectif : L’objectif général de la thèse était d’évaluer comparativement les adaptations cardioventilatoires au TM6 et TS6 chez les patients PII-f à différentes étapes de leur prise en charge en RR (pré et post-RR). Nous avions également pour objectif majeur d’évaluer la faisabilité et l’efficacité d’un programme de maintenance réalisé dans des structures proposant des activités physiques adaptées (APA) proches du domicile des patients PII-f sur le maintien des bénéfices à six mois post-RR.Matériel et méthodes : L’ensemble des patients atteints de PII-f ont réalisé un programme de RR au domicile de 8 semaines. Durant la période de suivi post-RR, les patients avaient le choix de bénéficier d’un suivi en APA dans une structure extérieure au domicile (groupe APA) ou de continuer la pratique d’une activité physique régulière en autonomie (groupe contrôle). Pré et post-RR, nous avons mesuré la tolérance à l’effort (TM6 et TS6) avec mesure des paramètres cardioventilatoires, les fonctions pulmonaires, la qualité de vie, la dyspnée, l’anxiété/dépression et la motivation des patients. Ces évaluations ont été réalisées aussi après 6 et 9 mois de suivi post-RR.Résultats : Parmi les 21 patients PII-f recrutés, 19 PII-f ont réalisé le programme de RR et sont revenus pour l’évaluation après 6 mois de suivi. Le TM6 et le TS6 induisent des adaptations cardioventilatoires différentes chez les patients atteints de PID, notamment une réponse ventilatoire supérieure au TS6 susceptible de jouer un rôle important sur la moindre désaturation en O2 observée comparé au TM6. A la suite d’un programme de RR, nous avons observé une amélioration des capacités physiques chez les patients PII-f. De manière individuelle, cependant, 58% des patients ne s’amélioraient pas post-RR, et 32% ne continuaient pas de pratiquer régulièrement les exercices physiques recommandés post-RR. La mise en place d’un programme de maintenance dans différentes structures locales proposant des APA proches du domicile chez des patients PII-f est réalisable et permet d’optimiser le maintien des bénéfices post-RR, qu’ils soient répondeurs ou non-répondeurs à la RR.Conclusion : Nos travaux ont souligné l’importance du choix du test d’effort, de la typologie de la PII-f et de la sévérité de l’hypoxémie sur les adaptations cardioventilatoires à l’effort, les adaptations physiologiques et l’évolution de la tolérance à l’effort post-RR. De plus, nous avons constaté que la réalisation de programmes de maintenance en APA, en s’appuyant sur des structures locales est réalisable et favorise un maintien des bénéfices à long terme chez les patients PII-f. Ainsi, l’évaluation des freins à l’activité physique chez un tiers des patients PII-f qui reste non-observant et arrête la pratique d’exercices physiques post-RR, est ainsi d’actualité. De plus, étudier plus précisément les différents profils de patients PII-f (répondeurs/non-répondeurs) pourrait être intéressant afin de comprendre les mécanismes potentiellement responsables de l’absence d’amélioration des capacités physiques post-RR chez les patients non-répondeurs, qu’elle soit liée à la pathologie, la médication ou une éventuelle pathologie musculaire associéeContext: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and 6-minute stepper test (6MST) are routinely performed to measure and monitor exercise tolerance in patients with fibrosis interstitial idiopathic pneumonia (f-IIP). In those patients, exercise capacity, quality of life and symptoms are usually improved after a pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) program which can either be performed in a rehabilitation centre or at home.Aim: First, we aimed, to compare the cardio-pulmonary adaptations during a 6MWT and a 6MST in patients with f-IIP, before and after PR. We aimed to assess patients’ adhesion to physical activity maintenance programs which are offered and located near the f-IIP patient's homes. And their efficiency in maintaining benefits observed post-PR.Methods: All the f-IIP patients included followed a 8-week PR program at home. During the post-PR follow-up period, patients voluntarily chose to perform physical activity in a structure proposed by the investigator (APA group), or by themselves at home (control group). Before and after the PR program, we quantified the patient's exercise capacity (6MWT and 6MST) and measured cardiopulmonary parameters during both tests, pulmonary function at rest, quality of life, dyspnoea at rest and after each exercise, anxiety/depression and patients’ motivation. The same evaluations were repeated at 6 and 9 months post-PR.Results: Among the 21 recruited f-IIP patients, 19 finished the PR program and had an evaluation at 6 months post-PR. The 6MST was characterized by a higher minute ventilation compared with the 6MWT, and this may have contributed to the lower O2 desaturation also observed during the 6MST. Following the PR program, there was a mean improvement of exercise tolerance in f-IIP patients. However, among the patients, 58% showed no improvement in the 6MWT distance post-PR nor in the cardiorespiratory parameters during the test, and 32% did not continue to practise a regular physical activity post-PR. Finally, the individual support from the investigators for the patients to follow a maintenance program in local structures, near the f-IIP patient's home, probably contributed to their voluntary inscription in these programs, which allowed the patients to maintain the post-PR benefits, whether they patients initially responded to the PR program or not.Conclusion: Our works emphasized the importance of selecting an appropriate test, according to the fixed objective; of the f-IIP clinicopathological entities, and of the hypoxemia severity on exercise cardiorespiratory and physiological adaptations and changes of exercise tolerance post-PR. Moreover, we observed that patients from the APA group regularly attended the chosen physical maintenance program in local structures, which contributed to the maintenance the post-PR benefits in f-IIP. The evaluation of physical activity engagement barriers, that lead to the non-participation of a third of f-IIP patients to physical activities post-PR, remains to be conducted. Further studies should also focus on the explanation for the absence of improvement of exercise tolerance and cardiorespiratory parameters in about half of f-IIP patients post-RR, either due to their pathology, medication, or possible muscle disorders

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail doctoral propose d’étudier les troubles de l’image du corps et les troubles psychologiques associés, chez des patientes anorexiques, comparées à des femmes sans trouble du comportement alimentaire (TCA), et d’examiner l’impact des facteurs socioculturels sur l’émergence de ces troubles, ainsi que l’influence d’un programme d’activés physiques adaptées (APA) sur leur régulation. L’étude 1 indique que l’insatisfaction corporelle des femmes sans TCA augmente significativement en fonction de l’âge et de la corpulence, démontrant de l’importance de l’image du corps sur la santé mentale des femmes dans nos sociétés occidentales. L’étude 2 montre que les patientes anorexiques ont une insatisfaction corporelle significativement plus importante, des scores d’anxiété physique sociale et de dépression significativement plus élevés, ainsi que des scores d’estime de soi globale et de soi physique globale significativement plus faibles que les femmes sans TCA, traduisant la coexistence de troubles psychologiques chez les patientes anorexiques. L’étude 3 révèle que les mécanismes de comparaison sociale et d’internalisation des messages sociaux sont significativement plus activés chez les anorexiques comparées aux femmes sans TCA. Toutefois, il apparaît qu’une amorce « idéal de minceur » n’a aucun effet significatif sur l’insatisfaction corporelle et la silhouette idéale, chez les deux groupes. Enfin, l’étude 4 montre que, même si le programme d’APA ne permet pas de réguler les troubles de l’image du corps et les troubles psychologiques, il n’interfère pas négativement dans le traitement thérapeutique de l’anorexie mentale. Ces différents résultats sont ensuite discutés, et des perspectives de recherche sont proposéesThe present doctoral research aims to investigate body image disturbances and associated psychological troubles, in patients with anorexia nervosa as compared to healthy controls, and to examine the impact of sociocultural factors on the emergence of the aforementioned troubles, as the effects of an adapted physical activity program (APA) on their regulation. Study 1 indicates that body dissatisfaction of women without eating disorders (ED) increases significantly according to age and shape, enlightening the role of body image in women’s health in Western societies. Study 2 shows that anorexics present significantly more body dissatisfaction and significantly higher scores of social physical anxiety and depression, but also a global self-esteem and a global physical self significantly lower, as compared to women without ED. Study 3 reveals that social comparison and social messages internalization are more relevant in anorexics than in women without ED. However, we observed no significant effect of thin ideal priming on body dissatisfaction and ideal body size in both groups. Finally, Study 4 shows that, even if APA program reveals no significant effect on body image disturbances and associated psychological troubles, it does not interfere negatively with the therapeutic treatment for anorexia nervosa. These results are then discussed and perspectives of research are presented

Full textAbstract:
La grossesse chez la femme peut avoir des répercussions sur la santé physique (SP), la qualité de la vie (QV), et conduire à certaines limitations lors des activités de la vie quotidiennes (AVQ).Dans un premier temps, nous confirmons la fréquence assez élevée des douleurs chez la femme sédentaire durant la grossesse. Ces douleurs sont associées à une diminution de la QV et de la SP conduisant à des effets défavorables voire risqués sur la réalisation de certaines AVQ telle que la traversée d’une rue. En post-partum (PP), ces douleurs ont perduré avec toujours un effet négatif sur la QV et la SP. Dans un deuxième temps, nous abordons l’association entre les douleurs et un changement de la motricité sportive en PP. Ces effets négatifs de la grossesse menacent la vie sportive de la femme restée sédentaire durant la grossesse. Ainsi, elle ne réalise plus le geste du coup droit au tennis, utilisé comme paradigme, de la même manière. Dans un troisième temps, nous proposons un programme de renforcement musculaire centré sur le tronc pour contribuer à contrecarrer les effets négatifs. Les effets de ce programme semblent prometteurs et globalement plus importants que ceux des autres programmes de la littérature. Les femmes actives durant la grossesse ont une intensité nettement plus faible de douleurs, leur permettant de préserver une meilleure SP et une meilleur QV, conduisant à plus de facilité et moins de prise de risque lors de cette même tâche de traversée de rue. Le maintien de l’effet de notre programme est également mise en évidence en PP avec toujours une intensité des douleurs plus faible et une bonne QV et SP. Le geste technique de tennis (coup droit) en PP montre que les femmes sportives et actives durant la grossesse réalisent ce geste, de la même manière que sans grossesse. Enfin, nous avons montré que les effets de la grossesse sont peu différents chez les femmes sportives ou non lorsqu’il s’agit d’une grossesse sédentaire. De même, les effets de notre programme, durant la grossesse, sont globalement similaires sur des femmes déjà sportives ou nonThe pregnancy in women can affect physical health (PH), quality of life (QoL), and lead to some limitations in activities of daily life (ADL). Firstly, we confirm the high frequency of pain in sedentary women during pregnancy. These pains associated with a decrease in PH and in QoL leading to adverse effects or risks in the achievement of some ADL such as crossing a street. In post-partum (PP) period, these pains persisted with always a negative effect on the QoL and PH. Secondly, weconsider the association between pain and changes in motor function in a sportive gestural in women in PP period. These negative effects of pregnancy threaten the sporting life of the woman which remained sedentary during pregnancy. Thus, she does not realize the forehand in tennis, used as a paradigm, in the same manner. Thirdly, we propose a strengthening general program centered on the trunk to help counteract the negative effects. The effects of this program are promising and generally more important than those of other programs in the literature. Active women during pregnancy have a significantly lower intensity of pain, enabling them to preserve a better PH and a better QoL, leading to more ease and less risk-taking during this same task crossing street. Maintaining the effect of our program is also evidence in PP, always with lower pain intensity and a better QoL and PH. The technical gesture in tennis (the forehand) in PP shows that the sportive and active women during pregnancy realize this gesture, in the same manner as without pregnancy. Finally, we showed that the effects of pregnancy are only slightly different in sportive or non-sportive women when it is a sedentary pregnancy. Similarly, the effects of our program, during pregnancy, are overall similar in women already sportive or not

Full textAbstract:
En s'achevant, la Seconde Guerre mondiale révèle le désastre humain qu'elle va laisser derrière elle (Jean-Pierre Rioux, 1980). En effet, tout est à reconstruire : le pays, les corps, les esprits. Logiquement, les années suivant l’immédiat après guerre connaissent un « temps fort de santé » (Didier Nourrisson, 2002). Dans une société où se multiplient les classifications des déficiences dans une logique opposant le normal au pathologique, la Direction Générale de l’Éducation Physique et des Sports (DGEPS) institue les « groupes d'aptitudes » qui perdureront après plusieurs décennies. Les élèves, après un relevé minutieux de certaines mensurations corporelles et de leurs performances physiques, sont ainsi classés dans un groupe où leur sera dispensée une éducation corporelle jugée adéquate à leurs besoins. Mon objet d'étude a pour but de mettre en lumière comment, dans les conceptions et les pratiques, les publics scolaires considérés comme « vulnérables » corporellement vont être pris en charge par l’Ecole et plus particulièrement comment les acteurs de l'éducation physique (EP) vont se mobiliser pour proposer une offre culturelle le plus souvent inédite. Au cours de cette période, la vulnérabilité ne désigne pas un groupe uniforme. En effet, l’élève vulnérable peut être qualifié par les acteurs de l’institution scolaire de différentes manières en fonction de la période considérée : déficient, inapte, handicapé ou encore dispensé. Par là, le vocabulaire choisi nous renseigne sur la vision et les représentations de l’enfance et de l’adolescence en fonction de ce qui relève de la norme ou du hors norme. Quelles innovations les enseignants d'EPS vont-ils entreprendre pour promouvoir chez ces élèves une culture corporelle plancher depuis la Seconde Guerre mondiale ? Au cours de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle, comment s'opérationnalise le contrôle des corps (Michel Foucault, 1975) des élèves fragiles et/ou en situation de handicaps ? Sur quelle(s) normalité(s) médicale(s) se fondent les acteurs de l'époque pour orienter les élèves vers une « bonne » santé (physique et psychique) en fonction de critères précis ? Dans l'école des aptitudes, le traitement différencié (ou non) des élèves ne pouvant pas suivre l’EP traditionnellement dispensée ne s’accompagne-t-il pas d’une forme de violence symbolique et/ou explicite ? Pour construire cette recherche, je vais utiliser des archives concernant l’éducation physique et la rééducation physique. Ainsi, les Archives nationales de Pierrefitte-sur-Seine et de Fontainebleau (quand le site rouvrira), les Archives du musée du sport (Nice) et celles du musée de l’éducation (Rouen) seront consultées. A une plus petite échelle, les Archives de la région alsacienne (départementales, hôpital de Strasbourg, etc.) me permettraient d’appréhender la question de l’EP des jeunes déficients à une échelle plus localeAs it comes to an end, the Second World War reveals the human disaster that the conflict is going to leave behind (Jean-Pierre Rioux, 1980). Everything must be rebuilt : bodies, minds, and the whole country. Logically, the years following the immediate after-war period experience a “health highlight” (Didier Nourrisson, 2002). In a society in which the classification of disabilities, in a logical order that opposes the normal to the pathological, the Direction Générale de l’Education Physique et des Sports (DGEPS) institute “aptitude groups” that will last for several decades. The pupils, after a meticulous summary of some of their body measurements and physical displays, are thus classified into a group where they will be taught a kind of physical education (PE), considered as the most appropriate to their needs. The goal of my studies is to highlight how, in the concept and the facts, pupils considered as “weak” physically speaking will be taken care of by the School and especially how the actors of the PE system will get together to make a cultural offer, mostly unprecedented. Through this period, the word vulnerability doesn’t concern the same group. Indeed, pupils who are vulnerable can be classified by the actors of the school institution in different ways, according to the period chosen : deficient, unfit, disabled or exempted. By that, the vocabulary chosen tells us about the vision and the representations of childhood and adolescence in accordance with what belongs to the norm or the nonstandard. What innovations are Physical Education teachers going to choose to promote a low-limit physical culture from the Second World War ? During the second half of the 20th century, how is the control of the bodies “operated” (Michel Foucault, 1975), as far as weak or disabled pupils are concerned ? Upon which medical “normality” do the actors of the time base their ideas to lead the pupils toward “good” health (physical and psychological), according to precise criteria. In the school of aptitudes, the fact that pupils that could not follow the traditional physical education course had a balanced treatment (or not) raises the issue of a symbolic and/or explicit violence. In order to build my research, I will use archive papers about physical education and physical reeducation. That is to say the “Archives nationales” from Pierrefitte-sur-Seine and Fontainebleau (when the site will open again), the “Archives du musée du sport” (located in Nice) and the archive papers from the “Musée de l’éducation” (in Rouen). From a smaller-scale point of view, the Archives from the Alsace region (department, Hospitals of Strasbourg, etc) would allow me to better understand the question of Physical Education for the young disabled at a more local scale

A doença de Parkinson (DP) é uma doença crônica e progressiva do SNC caracterizada pela perda progressiva (regional), acima de 60%, dos neurônios dopaminérgicos, que acomete principalmente o sistema motor. A perda desses neurônios acarreta diminuição progressiva da dopamina, ocasionando o surgimento dos principais sinais/sintomas que são: tremor de repouso, bradicinesia, rigidez muscular e instabilidade postural. Esses sinais/sintomas podem diminuir a capacidade de indivíduos com DP em movimentar-se normal e independentemente, alterando sua qualidade de vida. A atividade física tem se mostrado essencial para prevenir e reabilitar problemas de saúde e até proteger contra a perda das células neuronais. Para tanto, foram realizados 2 estudos. O Estudo 1 pretendeu observar os efeitos de uma programa de atividade física generalizada (PAFG) na mobilidade funcional na realização das AVDs de indivíduos em estágios iniciais da DP. Vinte e um indivíduos com DP em estágios de 1 a 2 da escala da Hoehn e Yahr iniciaram o treinamento e somente doze indivíduos com DP (65,92 ± 7 anos) foram reavaliados. O Estudo 2 verificou os efeitos de um programa de exercícios de manutenção (PEM) na mobilidade funcional na realização das AVDs de indivíduos em estágios mais avançados da DP. Dez indivíduos com DP em estágios de 1 a 3 da escala da Hoehn e Yahr iniciaram as atividades e somente oito (71,13 ± 8 anos) foram reavaliados. Foram analisadas as seguintes variáveis para ambos os estudos: 1) variáveis de controle: clínicas, o acometimento da doença e o estado mental; funcionais: equilíbrio funcional e as capacidades funcionais; nível de atividade física e a qualidade de vida; 2) variáveis dependentes: tempo gasto e número de passos no desempenho motor das tarefas Timed “Up and Go” (TUGt e TUGp) e Postural Locomotion Manual (PLMt e PLMp) antes e após os programas de...
The Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic and progressive illness of central nervous system. It is characterized by gradual loss (regional), over 60% of dopaminergic neurons, which mainly affects the motor system. The loss of these neurons causes a progressive reduction of dopamine with the appearance of the main signs/symptoms: rest tremor, bradykinesia, muscle stiffness and postural instability. These signs/symptoms may reduce the ability of PD individuals in moving independently, changing their quality of life. The physical activity is essential to prevent and rehabilitate health problems and to protect against the loss of neural cells. Two studies were designed and developed. The Study 1 aimed to observe the effects of a multimode physical activity program (MPAP) on the functional mobility of individuals in initial stages of PD to perform the DLAs. Twenty one individuals with PD in Stages 1 to 2 of Hoehn & Yahr scale started the MPAP and only 12 (65.92 ± 7 years of age) were reevaluated. The Study 2 verified the effects of a maintenance exercises program (MEP) on the functional mobility of individuals in advanced stages of PD to perform the DLAs. Ten individuals with PD in Stages 1 to 3 of Hoehn & Yahr scale initiated the program and only 8 (71.13 ± 8 years of age) were reevaluated. We analyzed the following variables in both studies: 1) control: anthropometric; age; clinical stage (Hoehn & Yahr scale and Unifiyng Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale), the mental state (Mini-Examination Mental State); functional: balance (Functional Balance Berg) and the functional capacities (flexibility, coordination, agility/balance, strength and endurance) through the AAHPERD; physical activity (Baecke Modified for the Elderly) and the quality of life (WHOQOL-Focus questionnaire) level; 2) dependents variables: time spent and number of steps in the motor performance of the Timed Up and Go (TUG)...

Full textAbstract:
Adolescents with chronic illness, particularly when accompanied by debilitating, painful, and/or fatiguing symptoms, face challenges that are disruptive to their normal physical, psychological, and social development. The Children’s Health and Illness Recovery Program (CHIRP) is an evidence-based program specifically designed to address the skills needed by adolescents with chronic illnesses to become more confident and independent in coping and managing their illness and lifestyle. The flexible 12-session format of CHIRP can be administered with individual teens and their families or conducted in teen groups with a parallel parent group component. CHIRP integrates and adapts effective treatment components from behavioral family systems therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, coping strategies intervention, interpersonal psychotherapy, assertiveness training, among others, into therapeutic activities in the companion CHIRP Teen and Family Workbook. This CHIRP Clinician Guide provides detailed instructions for implementing the manualized treatment protocol in the workbook. CHIRP was developed from both a careful review of the evidence-based literature on treatments for adolescents with chronic physical illness and the authors’ more than six decades of combined experience in helping children and families improve their quality of life and independence while coping with a chronic illness. Clinical outcome data on teens who have completed CHIRP demonstrate significant improvement in independent functioning and reduction in symptoms of fatigue and chronic pain; longitudinal data suggest these improvements not only persist but that teens continue to make gains on these factors beyond the completion of treatment, allowing them to pursue meaningful life goals as they transition to young adulthood.

People with rheumatoid arthritis can find it painful, tiring, and frustrating to perform their daily activities, work, family and social responsibilities, and leisure. While drug therapy has improved outcomes, many still experience limitations in their daily lives. Occupational therapy aims to: improve clients’ abilities to perform their activities and participate in their social roles; reduce pain and fatigue; improve or maintain physical function; improve or maintain psychological status; help people self-manage their condition successfully and adapt to changes in their lifestyle; achieve a healthy work and personal life balance. People with participation restrictions have poorer psychological and physical outcomes. Helping people participate in their roles, as and when they wish to, is an important part of rehabilitation to maximize clients’ quality of life. Occupational therapists use a wide range of educational, physical, social, psychological, and work-related interventions to help people live their lives as successfully as possible.

Accessibility is an important element in the life of those who have certain limitations, such as the physically disabled and visually impaired people. However, one of the greatest challenges for this group is to find paths and areas adapted to their limitations while performing their daily activities, since not all environments they explore have these characteristics. Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) and the crowdsourcing technique appear to be quite useful to develop solutions to overcome these challenges, since these techniques are naturally cheap as they rely on human sensors as the main agent of information delivery. In this chapter, we discuss how these techniques can help mitigate accessibility problems and present some existing research and applications in the field.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual exchanges (VEs) based on synchronous video communication allow learners to benefit from online intercultural experiences with a high degree of interactivity (Wang, 2004). Video conferencing tools allow synchronous audio-visual and non-verbal communication as in Face-To-Face (FTF) situations (Kock, 2005), although synchronous video communication differs from FTF communication because participants are not in the same physical space during interactions. However, technological restrictions during interaction can be compensated by media users as they adapt their communication behaviour (Walsh, 2018). This is the case of the present study which analyses the use of the video camera by learners to support oral communication with the visual information present in their physical spaces. For this purpose, 50 video-recorded intercultural activities carried out by 30 pairs of undergraduate students in Spain, Ireland, Mexico, and the United States were analysed through observation techniques. Results show how Visual Supported Actions (VSAs) are a new digital non-verbal communication which supports intercultural communication in the Foreign Language (FL), blurring the contextual physical restrictions of video conferences. Moreover, the study shows that VSAs are a new way of online Self-Disclosure (SD), a process of communication through which one person reveals information about themselves to another (Sprecher et al., 2013).

Museums have now been using social networks for nearly twenty years. While they began by engaging in activities characteristic of web 1.0, they have come to learn how to adapt to the new digital landscape. They are now fluent in the language and conventions of each social media platform and post content on a daily basis. The 2005 Faro Convention is partially responsible for urging museums to develop these new online strategies. The present chapter examines how large institutions are capable of generating daily content that is both multiform and attractive, but which barely encourages the exchange of experiences and opinions between users. Interestingly, it is in the local heritage-based cyber communities that we find the creation of authentic educommunicative spaces that are even capable of moving action from the digital realm of social media into the physical world.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents an epistemological reading of knowledge evolution in software engineering (SE) both within a software project and into SE theoretical frameworks principally modeling languages and software development life cycles (SDLC). The article envisages SE as an artificial science and notably points to the use of iterative development as a more adequate framework for the enterprise applications. Iterative development has become popular in SE since it allows a more efficient knowledge acquisition process especially in user intensive applications by continuous organizational modeling and requirements acquisition, early implementation and testing, modularity,… SE is by nature a human activity: analysts, designers, developers and other project managers confront their visions of the software system they are building with users’ requirements. The study of software projects’ actors and stakeholders using Simon’s bounded rationality points to the use of an iterative development life cycle. The later, indeed, allows to better apprehend their rationality. Popper’s knowledge growth principle could at first seem suited for the analysis of the knowledge evolution in the SE field. However, this epistemology is better adapted to purely hard sciences as physics than to SE which also takes roots in human activities and by the way in social sciences. Consequently, we will nuance the vision using Lakatosian epistemology notably using his falsification principle criticism on SE as an evolving science. Finally the authors will point to adaptive rationality for a lecture of SE theorists and researchers’ rationality.

Full textAbstract:
This paper resumes the main ideas to develop different sets of questionnaires based on renewable energy research equipment to improve online learning in engineering education. These educational activities, on the one hand, promote the connection between technological and education environments and, on the other hand, improve the motivation for studying theoretical and practical issues. The implementation of the proposed teaching and learning tasks will contribute to integrate students with different motivation and attitudes since the use of the close physical equipment for questionnaires development has an evident educational benefit when using it as a study model. The evolution of technological environments to educational units involves a functional Disassembly/Analyze/Assembly conversion to different modules adapted to specific subjects, the link with the theoretical knowledge, and finally, the questionnaire construction. The combination proposed offers the following positive results in master or grade studies: the effectiveness of competences training is improved, the students experimental work progresses significantly and the students’ motivation for better theory comprehension is more intensively developed. The use of these kind of questionnaires as educational tools is not new and their advantages are well known: the quick feedback results and the systematic data collection to support the educational proposal effectiveness, among others. Nevertheless, this tool has become a necessity with the massive use of online education. In summary, promoting the evolution of engineering education to online techniques and the use of renewable energy research equipment to promote the students’ vision on social necessities are two examples of educational goals stated in this paper.

Abstract Belgoprocess started the industrial decommissioning of the main process building of the former EURO-CHEMIC reprocessing plant in 1990, after completion of a pilot project in which two buildings were emptied and decontaminated to background levels. The remaining structures were demolished and the concrete debris was disposed of as industrial waste and green field conditions restored. Decommissioning involves the removal and decontamination of equipment from each cell, the decontamination of the cell walls, ceilings and floors, and the dismantling of the ventilation system. These activities are followed by a complete monitoring in order to obtain the unconditional release of the remaining structures. In the earlier days, concrete walls with limited in depth contamination, were decontaminated using commercially available pneumatic hand scabblers. In addition, 3-headed, 5-headed and 7-headed hand-operated floor scabblers have been used. The pneumatic powered machines have adapted dust extraction systems around the scabbier heads. To improve the working conditions for the operators, and to increase capacity, scabblers have been progressively automised. Operation efficiency was significantly improved when shaving machines were introduced, using a diamond tipped rotary head, designed to give a smooth surface finish, which is easier to measure. The use of these machines resulted in a higher efficiency and a 30% reduction of secondary waste production. It also reduced the physical load to the operators due to the absence of machine vibration. The paper gives an overview of the specific efforts that have been put in improving the techniques for the decontamination of concrete surfaces at the decommissioning of the Eurochemic reprocessing plant in Dessel, Belgium.

In 2016 24th International Conference on Nuclear Engineering. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/icone24-60901.
Full textAbstract:
In hazardous industrial activities such as in nuclear facilities, High Efficiency Particulate Air filters (HEPA filters) are essential to ensure the containment of airborne contamination. Most of the filters used in ventilation networks are pleated, in order to offer a larger surface of filtration. For industrial risks likely to lead to an important release of particles (e.g. fire), predicting the evolution of the pressure drop of pleated filters is very important, in order to anticipate any dysfunction, failure or breaking of these devices. Pressure drop variations are linked to airflow rate variations and to clogging process of the medium by airborne particles. Thus, the airflow pattern in a pleat channel is essential for optimizing the filter design and enhancing its lifetime. Particles are transported by the airflow and deposited at the filter surface; hence, the geometry of the dust cake (shape and location) is partially determined knowing the velocity streamlines. The present paper focuses on the characterization of airflows in a clean HEPA filter. The difficulty to perform fine measurement on a real scale filter led us to develop an experimental device, consisting in the reproduction of a single pleat, identical to a real pleat constituting industrial filters. The small dimension of the pleat makes the velocity measurement difficult to establish. That is why μ-PIV method has been adapted to measure the velocity field inside the filter for different filtration velocities at the first moments of the experiment, in order to avoid the impact of clogging by particles used to seed the flow. These particles are DEHS droplets 0.01 < St < 0.05. In the future, these well-characterized airflows will be the basis for CFD computation of particle transport and deposition inside the pleats. Ultimately, the aim is to develop or upgrade physical models predicting the pressure drop evolution of pleated filters, during clogging process in accidental situations.

MOOC Camps have been used as a successful blended alternative to more traditional MOOCs (totally online). A “camp” here means “an informal gathering of learners working together to discuss new ideas and concepts” (Sowell, 2019). MOOC Camps combine the positive aspects of MOOCs, such as high-quality of professional development and low cost for participants with the advantages of using the “camps”, such as adaptation to the local context and a simpler way of promoting interaction among participants, who consequently feel highly motivated to complete the online course (Cardoso, 2020). The aim of this presentation is to consider the effects of the physical distance imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic in the MOOC Camps been offered by an extension and research project developed at a public university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (CEALD/UERJ) in partnership with the American Government (RELO-Brazil) since 2019. The main objectives of these MOOC camps are: (a) to promote language and methodology development; and (b) to build stronger communities of teachers and teachers-to-be, by giving them the opportunity of sharing their experiences. However, in 2020, due to the pandemic, the camp had to be adapted to a remote mode, using a web-conference platform. Therefore, this action-research study compares and contrasts the MOOC Camp participants’ feedback given before the pandemic with their responses to the activities developed during the pandemic. In this way, the idea is to understand how the adaptations we were forced to make have influenced the development of the camps and possibly affected participants’ interest. The discussion considers some of the advantages and drawbacks of adopting the remote mode for the camps, and a better understanding of some theoretical concepts, such as: blended learning (Gruba et al., 2016); blended MOOCs (Albó et al., 2015; Orsini-Jones, 2018, 2019), online interaction (Silva, 2014), and education in the pandemic context (Liberali, 2020).

Nowadays, Information and Communication Technologies play an important role in the teaching-learning process. Universities have incorporated different platforms specifically designed to educational institutions; among others Moodle and Sakai are being used in Spanish Universities. In particular, the Universitat Politècnica de València has adopted the PoliformaT platform, adapted from Sakai. It consists on different tools that facilitate the teaching and learning processes and the teacher–student communication. It enables teachers to improve their instructional design and it is of key importance in blended learning and flipped classroom approach. Lessons is a specific tool available in PoliformaT, which enables the organization of the different educational resources. It combines lecture slides, video lectures (from the teacher or from others sources), exams (quizzes, self-/peer-assessment), tasks and so on. The extensive use of the online platform in the daily learning of the subject, by several teachers and different student groups, needs to pay special attention to the resources organization. In contrary case, the subject platform can become a mess, losing its usefulness. In this paper, the utilization of Lessons by students in two first course subjects at the Universitat Politècnica de València is studied. The teachers of physics of the Aerospace Engineering Degree and electricity of Electronic and Automatic Engineering Degree have designed the course activities by means of the Lessons tool. There are important research questions related to the Lessons tool: how often, when, and how students access to the different contents?, do they think it is useful? At a second level, one can be asked if student perceptions are related to learning outcomes. We will use students' learning tracks, student’s survey and scores to answer these questions.

Full textAbstract:
It is well known that bone adapts to changes in its mechanical environment and that this adaptation is controlled at the cellular level through the coordinated actions of osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. Osteocytes make up over 90% of all bone cells [1], and are hypothesized to be the mechanosensors in bone [2] that mediate the effects of bone loading through their extensive communication network. The application of force to the skeletal system produces several potential stimuli for osteocyte function including hydrostatic pressure, fluid flow-induced shear stress, and bone tissue strain. Previously, the basis used for studying the stimulatory effects of mechanical strain on bone cell biological responses in vitro has been the direct measurement of bone strain in humans during various physical activities [3,4]. The limitation of applying this strain magnitude data to cells in vitro, however, is that the in vivo strain gage measurements represent continuum measures of bone deformation. Clearly, at the spatial level of bone cells, cortical bone is not a continuum and microstructural inhomogeneities will result in inhomogeneous microstructural strain fields; local tissue strains will be magnified in association with microstructural features [5,6]. It is unclear as to how much of these magnified strains will be directly transmitted to the osteocyte itself. Additionally, if the osteocyte has the ability to alter its perilacunar environment [7], it is unknown what effect do these changes have on the strain that is transmitted to the osteocyte and cell process.

Covid-19 which emerged in Wuhan province of China, evolved into a global pandemic within a short time has had social and economic effects besides its influence on public health.
Research has shown that during the pandemic, besides health sector, manufacturing, tourism and education sectors have been affected adversely. In addition to its sectoral repercussions, the changes it has caused on working life should also be taken into consideration. In parallel with the practices in many other countries, our country has taken measures in order to slow down the spread of the virus and the to minimize the number of employees in the same working place such as distance working and rotated working in public and private sectors and etc.
Due to physical isolation requirements during the pandemic period, individuals have got to know new practices and concepts such as virtual shopping, distance education and have tried to adapt themselves to them.
Individuals who actively take part in working life have also been encountered with concepts such as distance working and rotated working. All foundation and enterprises have strived for taking the measures of hygiene stipulated by the public authority while trying to ensure the adaptation process takes place with efficiency and without loss of workforce. In both public and private sectors, online meetings, conferences and activities etc. and non-spatial life style and working system have become a part of individuals’ lives.
This study is aimed at coming up with a future projection by handling the effects of COVID-19 pandemic has caused on working life.

Full textAbstract:
Reverse Engineering methods are becoming more and more important in product development processes in cases without CAD models or modified physical objects. For numerical calculations of scanned components, using, for instance, the Finite Element Method (FEM) to look at strength or vibration characteristics, we need the previously scanned data, obtained via Geometric Reverse Engineering, to be converted into CAD surface data, a Finite Element-meshing and a determination of material parameters and constraints. Tremendous effort must be expended in the course of performing repeated Geometric Reverse Engineering and FE-meshing, which must be done when there are iterative, largely local changes in real geometry (such as when incorporating forming dies) or in the case of topologically similar objects, which must be scanned again and again. This project is aimed at the generation of new calculation models using an appropriate adaption of existing FE meshes (made using a CAD model, for example) or FE meshes previously created with the help of scan data through the retention of intelligent meshing (constraints, material, element type etc.). In terms of their topology, these new meshes should adapt themselves to changes in geometry. Time-consuming Geometric Reverse Engineering, as well as re-meshing, can thus be bypassed. Product development cycles frequently proceed in an iterative manner. Repetition of process steps is intended to improve the product in order to achieve an optimum result in design and dimensioning. The goal of these research activities is to reduce the process steps from 3D scan data to FE-meshing, in particular in development cycles. The paper introduces the project’s concept, its initial results, and further steps.

At the moment, the world is in an unprecedented state of shock and uncertainty. Many countries are actively taking all possible measures to minimize the spread of COVID-19, adapt to the new norms by staying at home and maintaining a social distance when going out. The purpose of this study is to understand how people perceive, understand the new situation and cope with the crisis. There are significant changes in the way of life, new rules are introduced very often, which will probably have to be followed for a long time. We created a 2-part survey: 1) an inventory about stress level and its causes evaluation, changing behavior, in the current situation, trust in power, etc. based on international projects (Fancourt, 2020; Jachimowicz, 2020); 2) coping flexibility scale. The study was conducted online (27.03.20–12.04.2020). The sample of 248 voluntary participants aged 20 to 77 years (av. age 36.06, SD = 13.42) have taken place 33 % men, and 67 % women; the majority have their own family (60 %) and a job. While it is known that isolation can affect mental health, there has never been a situation where so many people have had to remain physically separated from others. Results. At the beginning of the study self-isolation in Russia was only introduced, but the participants` responses (in ascending order) already indicated stress: 1. Poor appetite or overeating 38.31 %; 2 Sleep problems 42.47 %; 3. Little interest / enjoyment in activities 46.37 % 4. Melancholy, depression, or hopelessness (half of participants); 5. Feeling tired, having low energy (more than half of the sample). The work is going on, and it would be important to find out what can help protect people from the negative effects of stress, fear, and isolation.
