Abstract:
Attitude is a multidimensional and complex notion that considerably empowers or limits the major life activities of humans. Health professionals’ attitudes toward people with disabilities are significant factors in the rehabilitation process. Soon after completing their coursework, the final-year students from health science meet the patients and rehabilitate them. This study accordingly aims to assess the attitude toward disability among final-year health science students before and after administering a disability-specific structured teaching program. A total of 243 final-year undergraduate health science students from medical, dental, physical therapy, pharmacy, laboratory sciences, radiology sciences, and nursing aged between 21 and 27 years participated in this study. This work employed the Scale of Attitudes Toward Disabled Persons (SADP) to measure attitudes among participants. The mean pre- and posttest SADP scores were 83.59 ± 15.45 and 107.83 ± 62, respectively ( p < .001). Students from medical, dental, physical therapy, and nursing showed significant positive attitudes toward disability compared with other students, whereas college students in the final year of health science generally had poor attitudes toward disability. The results indicate that the disability-specific structured teaching program is effective in improving the attitude toward disability among final-year health science students. Accordingly, the authors recommend modifying the disability-related content in the health sciences curriculum.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Simulation techniques are spreading rapidly in medicine. Suc h resources are increasingly concentrated in Simulation Laboratories. The MSRP-USP is structuring such a laboratory and is interested in the prevalence of individual initiatives that could be centralized there. The MSRP-USP currently has five full-curriculum courses in the health sciences: Medicine, Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, Nutrition, and Occupational Therapy, all consisting of core disciplines. GOAL: To determine the prevalence of simulation techniques in the regular courses at MSRP-USP. METHODS: Coordinators of disciplines in the various courses were interviewed using a specifically designed semi-structured questionnaire, and all the collected data were stored in a dedicated database. The disciplines were grouped according to whether they used (GI) or did not use (GII) simulation resources. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: 256 disciplines were analyzed, of which only 18.3% used simulation techniques, varying according to course: Medicine (24.7.3%), Occupational Therapy (23.0%), Nutrition (15.9%), Physical Therapy (9.8%), and Speech Therapy (9.1%). Computer simulation programs predominated (42.5%) in all five courses. The resources were provided mainly by MSRP-USP (56.3%), with additional funding coming from other sources based on individual initiatives. The same pattern was observed for maintenance. There was great interest in centralizing the resources in the new Simulation Laboratory in order to facilitate maintenance, but there was concern about training and access to the material. CONCLUSIONS: 1) The MSRP-USP simulation resources show low complexity and are mainly limited to computer programs; 2) Use of simulation varies according to course, and is most prevalent in Medicine; 3) Resources are scattered across several locations, and their acquisition and maintenance depend on individual initiatives rather than central coordination or curricular guidelines

Abstract:
Reduced levels of health-related quality of life (HRQL) post-stroke are an important issue to address in rehabilitation. Despite improvement in function over time, HRQL remains poor for many stroke survivors. This longitudinal study is aimed at estimating the extent to which physical performance, social, and psychological functioning influence HRQL.
Forty-three community-living persons with stroke were recruited to participate in a six-week intervention preceded and followed by a performance- and interview-based evaluation assessing different levels of disability and functioning. HRQL was measured by the VAS of the EQ-5D.
Regression models generated cross-sectionally demonstrated that physical performance, social, and psychological functioning explained up to 90% of the variation in HRQL. A GEE model revealed that, over time, only upper extremity functioning had a significant relationship with HRQL.
Much attention has already been focused on increasing physical performance in rehabilitation. However, clinicians should consider other components that affect HRQL directly or indirectly through physical performance. Only by treating the different components of functioning at various levels can HRQL be ultimately increased.

Abstract:
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease with an unpredictable course that impacts significantly on physical performance. Exercise or fitness has become an essential part of management and health promotion for persons with MS. The gold standard measure of exercise capacity (VO2peak) is the maximal exercise test, a graded test that involves an increase in workload until exhaustion is reached. Although this test is the most accurate measure of exercise capacity, it is not clinically useful. Therefore, the main objective of this cross-sectional study is to estimate the extent to which exercise capacity can be predicted by sub-maximal tests in persons with MS. By using data from several functional sub-maximal tests, a regression equation was formulated to estimate the exercise capacity of persons with MS. The results indicated that the modified Canadian Aerobic Fitness Test (mCAFT), grip strength and body weight explained 74% of the variability in VO2peak. Furthermore, MS literature has shown that health-related quality of life (HRQL) is greatly reduced in MS, as it impacts health perception and capacity to perform daily activities. Therefore, improving HRQL has become an important goal of all health care interventions. It is essential to evaluate and understand patients' own perceptions of the impact of symptoms on their overall health status and their well-being. Thus, the objective of the second manuscript was to estimate the extent to which physical capacity predicts perceived health status in persons with MS. Using multiple linear regression the following variables: sex, vitality, pain, smoking status, walking capacity, social functioning and cognition emerged as significant predictors of the outcome explaining approximately 50% of perceived health status. Significant interaction terms between sex and pain, as well as between sex and vitality were found, indicating that the contributions to perceive
La sclérose en plaques (SP) est une maladie chronique avec un parcours imprévisible ayant un impact significatif sur la performance physique. L'exercice physique est à présent une partie essentielle de la prise en charge et la promotion de la santé pour les personnes atteintes de SP. La mesure la plus élévée de capacité d'exercice est le test d'exercice maximal, étant un test à échelle qui implique une évolution des charges de travail jusqu'à ce que l'exténuation soit atteinte. Malgré que ce test demeure la mesure la plus precise d'évaluation de capacité d'exercice, il n'est cependant pas cliniquement utile. Par consequent, l'objectif principal de cette étude est d'estimer l'étendue à laquelle la capacité d'exercice peut être predite et ce avec un test sub-maximal sur une personne atteinte de SP. En utililsant l'information puisée de multiple test sub-maximal fonctionnel, une équation régressive peut être formulée pour estimer la capacité d'exercice du patient atteint de SP. Les résultats indiquent que les tests d'aptitude aérobique canadien modifié et de force de préhension ainsi que la masse corporelle explique 74% de la variation du VO2 peak. D'autant plus, le littérature sur la SP a démontrée que la qualité de vie relative à la santé (QVRS) est immensement réduite dû à la SP car cela a un impact direct sur la perception de la santé et la capacité de performer des activités quotidiennes. Donc, l'amelioration de la QVRS est devenue un but primordial dans toutes les interventions relatives aux soins de santé. Il est essentiel d'evaluer et comprendre comment le patient perçoit l'impact des symptomes sur son statut de santé général et son bien-être. Ainsi, l'objectif du second manuscrit est d'estimer l'étendue à laquelle la capacité d'exercice prédit la perception du statut de santé chez une personne atteinte de SP.

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:
The problem addressed is the significant lack of empirical research to describe the nature and extent of technology for use in physical therapy education (PTE). The goal was to facilitate the use of instructional technologies in accredited physical therapy (PT) courses. Computing technologies offer efficient, accessible methods for delivery of education as well as instructional formats with unique advantages for the allied health sciences. In order to facilitate the use of instructional technologies in accredited PT courses the nature and extent of current technology use in PTE are described. A description of technologies used for health professional education was extracted from the literature and used to develop a valid and reliable online survey instrument. An effort was made to survey all full-time faculty in the 200 Doctor of Physical Therapy programs accredited by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education. A 44% response rate was received from 904 faculty representing 193 programs. The results demonstrate that the technologies used most can be characterized as those that support cognition rather than content delivery. It is also apparent that a significant number of faculty are using technology for education while their self-assessment indicates that they have insufficient knowledge and skills to do so. Also, the findings indicate that many faculty have a limited knowledge of the technologies used in the locations where their students will receive clinical education and possibly gain employment following graduation. These results are discussed in detail. Seven recommendations are offered to facilitate diffusion of technology throughout courses offered in graduate PT programs.

Abstract:
Physical performance is a useful and complementary method of monitoring cancer and its impact. Patient self measurement of physical performance would be very useful. This study evaluated the reliability of self-measured Simmonds Physical Performance Task Battery (SPPT) among mixed cancer patients (stage I-IV). Eighty six adults participated. Performance on the SPPT was measured simultaneously by the patient and the practitioner. The procedure was repeated one week later. Intra-Class Correlation (ICC) coefficients showed that test-retest reliability and inter-rater reliability of self-measured performance for the seven SPPT tasks was good to excellent (ICC1, 1= 0.87-0.963 and ICC1, 2= 0.93-0.97, respectively). Except for the six minute walk, mean performance scores were systematically higher for patient compared to practitioner measures (p<.0005). Self measurement is reliable and patients should be instructed to measure and monitor their physical performance as an indicator of disease state. Patient and practitioner methods of measurement can not be used interchangeably.
La performance physique constitue une méthode utile et complémentaire pour le suivi du cancer et de son impact. Dans ce contexte, l'auto-évaluation de la performance physique par le patient serait très utile. L'étude a évalué la fiabilité de la batterie de tests de Simmonds pour l'auto-évaluation de la performance physique (SPPT) chez un groupe mixte de patients cancéreux (stade I–IV). Quatre-vingt-six patients adultes y ont pris part. La performance selon la batterie SPPT a été mesurée simultanément par le patient et le praticien. La procédure a ensuite été répétée une semaine plus tard. Les coefficients de corrélation intraclasse (ICC) ont démontré que la fiabilité test-retest et inter-examinateur de la performance auto-évaluée à l'égard des sept tâches de la batterie SPPT était de bonne à excellente (ICC1,1= 0,87– 0,963 et ICC1,2= 0,93–0,97, respectivement). Sauf pour la marche de six minutes, les scores moyens de performance se sont révélés systématiquement plus élevés chez les patients comparativement aux mesures du praticien (p<,0005). L'auto-évaluation est donc fiable et on devrait donner comme consigne aux patients de mesurer et de suivre leur performance physique en tant qu'indicateur de l'état pathologique. Toutefois, les méthodes de mesure – celle du patient et celle du praticien – ne peuvent être utilisées de manière interchangeable.

Abstract:
This thesis introduces a new paradigm that is designed to facilitate the performance of arm movements during gait rehabilitation. The main purposes of the thesis were to assess (1) the effects of performing arm movements using this paradigm on the coordination of upper and lower limbs, and (2) the effects of arm movements on lower limb kinematic and muscle activation patterns. Ten stroke and ten healthy subjects walked on a treadmill while swinging their arms naturally, and while holding onto handles that were either fixed in place or allowed to slide along horizontal handrails. Full-body kinematics were recorded, along with bilateral surface EMG from upper and lower body muscles. Arm-leg coordination patterns were unaffected by the use of the sliding handles, and performing arm movements influenced lower limb muscle activation. Overall, results support the inclusion of arm movements in gait rehabilitation protocols and, for patients who are unable to walk without any external support, the use of sliding handles appears to be a useful surrogate to natural arm swing.
La présente étude introduit une nouvelle approche qui facilite l'exécution du balancement des bras pendant la marche chez des patients. Les principaux objectifs de cette étude étaient d'évaluer (1) les effets de l'utilisation de ces poignées coulissantes sur la coordination des membres supérieurs et inférieurs lors de la marche, et (2) les effets du balancement des bras, avec ou sans poignées coulissantes, sur la cinématique et les patrons d'activation des muscles des jambes. Dix patients ayant subi un accident vasculaire cérébral et dix adultes en santé ont marché sur un tapis roulant en balançant les bras naturellement de chaque côté du corps ou en tenant des poignées qui étaient soient coulissantes ou fixes sur les barres d'appui latérales du tapis roulant. Les données enregistrées incluent la cinématique et l'activité électromyographique des muscles des membres supérieurs et inférieurs. Les résultats ont démontré que les patrons de coordination bras-jambe ne sont pas influencés par l'utilisation des poignées coulissantes. Le balancement des bras a influencé l'activation des muscles des jambes. Ces résultats soutiennent la proposition d'inclure le balancement des bras dans des protocoles de réadaptation à la marche. Également, pour les patients incapables de marcher sans support externe, l'utilisation d'un tapis roulant équipé de poignées coulissantes s'avère être un substitut intéressant à la marche avec balancement naturel des bras.

Objective: To identify predictors of change in the physical and mental components of HRQOL following two chemotherapy cycles in patients with advanced NSCLC Methods: A secondary analysis of data on 47 subjects with advanced NSCLC before and after receiving two cycles of first-line chemotherapy was performed, using multiple linear regression. Predictors were pre-chemotherapy 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance, grip strength, one-minute chair rise repetitions, Schwartz Cancer Fatigue Scale (SCFS) score, Lung Cancer Subscale score and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment score. Outcomes were change in the physical and mental component summaries (PCS and MCS) of the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey. Results: Adjusted for age, gender and chemotherapy combination, pre-chemotherapy SCFS score and 6MWT distance significantly predicted change in MCS score (p<0.01). No significant predictors were found for PCS change. Conclusion: Clinical management of fatigue and physical function may be useful for HRQOL optimization in patients with advanced NSCLC undergoing chemotherapy.

Abstract:
Vision is arguably the most important sensory cue for the control of goal-directed locomotion. Optic flow, broadly defined as the pattern of light at the eye of a person moving through the environment, provides strong cues on the direction of locomotion, also known as heading. To date, most studies have only investigated the use of optic flow for heading in healthy young subjects. However, the capacity for visual processing can decline with advancing age or a neurological insult, such as stroke. These changes could impact on the control of heading and locomotion. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the role of optic flow in the control of locomotion in older adults and in stroke patients. In the first study, 2 groups of subjects (young: n=9, age 21.56 ± 3.20; old: n=9, age 66.11 ± 3.95) were instructed to walk straight in a virtual environment. As they progressed forward, the location from which the scene was expanding from, also know as the focus of expansion (FOE), was offset with a translation of 20° or 40° either to the left or right of the midline of the virtual scene. Young adults responded by displacing their centre of mass (CoM) mediolaterally in the direction opposite to the FOE shift, thus correcting their virtual trajectory so that they perceived walking straight in the virtual environment. In contrast, older adults showed very little trajectory corrections to the optic flow, resulting in large heading errors. In the second study, 10 young (age 23.49 ± 4.72) and 10 older adults (age 76.22 ± 3.11) were instructed to walk straight in a virtual environment where the FOE was gradually rotated until reaching 40° to the right or left at the end of the walking trial. Young adults displayed very small net heading errors in the virtual environment and responded by physically reorienting their heading and head in the direction opposite to the FOE rotation. Older adults showed similar responses, though they had smaller head rotations and slightly larger errors. Taken together, these 2 studies indicate that the effects of aging on the control of heading from optic flow are dependent on the type of flow presented and that the utilization of rotational flows while walking are less susceptible to aging than translational flows. In the third study, the same groups of healthy young and older adults (n=10 each) were tested on their ability to re-weight sensory information and maintain a straight heading in the physical environment while being exposed to rotational flows, as they walked at normal and fast walking speeds. Older participants made significantly larger heading errors than younger adults at normal walking speeds. Fast walking speed was found to improve the heading performance of young subjects but led to even larger heading errors in the older adults. This study suggests an increased reliance on visual cues for locomotor control in older adults who are less adept in visual reweighting. In the final study, a single-subject design was used to investigate the effects of stroke on the ability to use rotational optic flow cues while walking. Nine stroke patients were instructed to walk straight in a virtual environment with the FOE rotating 40° either towards the ipsilesional or contra-lesional side. Patterns of heading responses varied, with individuals having a history of neglect consistently showing heading larger errors than those without. The presence of persistent visuomotor deficits, particularly in far space, in stroke patients with a history of visuospatial neglect, is a novel finding of this thesis. In conclusion, central nervous system changes due to aging and stroke can impact the ability to use optic flow for the control of goal-directed locomotion. The underlying changes may pertain to the processing and/or integration of visual motion information.
La vision est sans doute l'information sensorielle la plus importante dans le contrôle de la marche. Le flux optique, qui peut être défini comme le patron de lumière dirigé sur la rétine quand une personne avance dans l'environnement, donne de puissantes indications quant à la trajectoire ou la direction de la marche. Le vieillissement et la présence de lésions neurologiques peuvent altérer la capacité à traiter les informations visuelles. Le but de cette thèse était d'explorer le rôle du flux optique dans le contrôle de la trajectoire de la marche chez les personnes âgées et les patients ayant subi un accident vasculaire cérébral (AVC). Dans la première étude, deux groupes de sujets (jeunes : n=9, 21.56 ± 3.20 ans; Âgés: n=9, 66.11 ± 3.95 ans) ont reçu pour instruction de marcher en ligne droite dans un environnement virtuel. Alors qu'ils avançaient, l'endroit à partir duquel la scène prenait de l'expansion, connu également comme le focus d'expansion (FE), a été déplacé latéralement pour atteindre une translation de 20° ou de 40° vers la gauche ou la droite par rapport à la ligne centrale de l'environnement virtuel. Les jeunes adultes ont répondu en déplaçant leur centre de masse médiolatéralement dans la direction opposée au déplacement du FE, corrigeant ainsi leur trajectoire de sorte qu'ils marchent en ligne droite dans l'environnement virtuel. Au contraire, les adultes plus âgés ont montré très peu de corrections en réponse au flux optique, résultant en de grandes erreurs de trajectoire. Dans la seconde étude, 10 jeunes adultes (âge 23.49 ± 4.72 ans) et 10 adultes âgés (âge 76.22 ± 3.11 ans) ont reçu pour instruction de marcher droit dans un environnement virtuel alors que le FE a été graduellement déplacé en rotation, jusqu'à l'obtention d'un angle de 40° vers la droite ou la gauche à la fin de l'essai de marche. Les sujets jeunes ont démontré des erreurs nettes de trajectoire très petites dans l'environnement virtuel et ont répondu en tournant et redirigeant la tête et le corps dans la direction opposée à la rotation du FE. Les adultes plus âgés ont répondu de la même façon, bien qu'ils aient eu moins de rotation de la tête et des erreurs légèrement plus grandes. Les résultats combinés de ces deux études indiquent que les effets du vieillissement sur le contrôle de la trajectoire à l'aide du flux optique sont dépendants du type de flux optique présenté et que l'utilisation du flux en rotation pendant la marche est moins sensible au vieillissement que celle du flux en translation. Dans la troisième étude, les sujets jeunes et âgés ont été testés quant à leur habileté à re-pondérer les informations sensorielles et maintenir une trajectoire rectiligne dans l'environnement réel alors qu'ils étaient exposés à des flux optiques en rotation, lors de la marche à vitesse confortable et rapide. Les sujets âgés ont fait de plus grandes erreurs de trajectoire à vitesse confortable que les sujets plus jeunes. Une vitesse de marche plus rapide a amélioré la performance des sujets jeunes mais a entraîné des erreurs de trajectoire plus grandes chez les adultes plus âgés. Dans la dernière étude neuf patients avec un AVC ont reçu comme instruction de marcher droit dans un environnement virtuel avec un FE se déplaçant à 40 ° de rotation vers le côté lésionnel ou contra-lésionnel. Les patrons de réponse se sont révélés variables, alors que les sujets ayant une histoire d'héminégligence ont constamment montré de plus grandes erreurs de trajectoire. La présence de déficits visuomoteurs persistants chez les sujets avec une historique d'heminégligence est une nouvelle découverte de cette thèse. En conclusion, les changements au système nerveux central causés par le vieillissement et la présence d'un AVC peuvent influencer la capacité à utiliser le flux optique pour contrôler la marche. Les changements sous-jacents pourraient être liés au traitement et/ou à l'intégration des informations de mouvement visuel.

Abstract:
Children with CP are extremely heterogeneous in terms of etiology and clinical features. The diversity of symptoms among CP syndromes is a challenge for different branches of health research. Despite the efforts of many studies in examining rehabilitation strategies to improve upper limb (UL) function in children with CP, the confidence in the validity of these studies' evidence is still moderate to low. One limitation suggested is related to the type of outcomes used to measure improvement. Many are not sensitive enough to detect change (lack of responsiveness), are not age-related, and do not describe the movement quality. Movement quality concerns about movement performance or how well an activity is performed taking into reference normative data from typical populations. The assessment of movement quality in UL activities refers to the measurement of range of motion, hand trajectories, interjoint and intersegment coordination, muscle contraction patterns, and postural adjustments. The objective assessment of movement quality can be made by kinematic and kinetic analyses. The description of movement quality is important, because early brain injuries are more susceptible to 'maladaptative' plasticity, which might result in abnormal movement behaviors. The primary objective of this prospective single subject research design study was to determine the effect of two rehabilitation strategies in UL movement quality: arm constraint and trunk restraint, in the context of a modified constraint induced therapy (mCIT) and a task-oriented intervention, respectively. The UL movement quality was measured by kinematic analysis of a functional reaching task: a self-feeding simulation. Overall, the kinematic variables investigated are related to hand trajectories, arm angles and trunk forward displacement. Two clinical outcomes measuring UL movement quality were also used, the QUEST for the mCIT study, and the Melbou
Les enfants avec paralysie cérébrale (PC) constituent un groupe clinique fortement hétérogène, tant au point de vue de l'étiologie que des caractéristiques cliniques. Malgré les efforts de recherche qui ont été déployés dans plusieurs études pour examiner les stratégies de réadaptation visant l'amélioration de la fonction du membre supérieur chez les enfants avec PC, il demeure que la confiance démontrée envers la validité de ces résultats est encore de modérée à faible. Une des limites notées dans la littérature est reliée au type de variables qui sont mesurées : ces variables ne seraient pas assez sensibles pour détecter des changements ou ces études ne décriraient pas la qualité du mouvement. Cette évaluation objective de la qualité de mouvement peut être réalisée par l'intermédiaire d'analyses cinématiques ou cinétiques. La description de la qualité du mouvement est considérée primordiale, puisque des lésions cérébrales en bas âge sont plus susceptibles d'amener une plasticité « maladaptative » et donc d'engendrer des mouvements anormaux.Le premier objectif de cette recherche prospective à protocoles individuels est de déterminer les effets de 2 stratégies de réadaptation visant la qualité du mouvement du membre supérieur: la contrainte du bras et la restriction du tronc, réalisées respectivement dans le contexte d'une intervention par contrainte modifiée (mCIT) et d'une intervention orientée vers la tâche. Globalement, les variables cinématiques mesurées dans ces protocoles comprennent les trajectoires de la main, les angles articulaires du bras et le déplacement du tronc vers l'avant. Deux échelles de mesure cliniques reliées à la qualité du mouvement du bras ont aussi été utilisées : le QUEST (étude mCIT) et le Melboune assessment (intervention orientée vers la tâche).

Abstract:
While postural control during quiet stance can be enhanced by haptic input, the role of tactile cues on gait ability in healthy or neurological populations is not well understood. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of enhanced somatosensory input from (1) light fingertip touch and (2) cane use, on gait performance during level and slope walking in people post-stroke. Nine people post-stroke and 9 healthy individuals walked on a self-paced treadmill mounted on a motion platform while viewing a virtual scene. The experimental conditions were to walk level, up or down a 5° sloped surface: 1) without touch, 2) with light fingertip touch on a bar and 3) with an instrumented cane. Gait variability, expressed as the coefficient of variation of stride duration (CV), step width and gait speed were measured. Results reveal that light touch is an effective means of improving gait in people post-stroke. Light touch can be as effective compared to the cane even under the challenge of slope walking and may be more effective in downslope walking. Task specific (level, up and downslope) stabilizing strategies (use of either light touch or a cane) may offer specific gait improvements. These effects were not seen in the healthy controls.
Nous savons déjà que le toucher léger peut augmenter le contrôle postural en position debout mais les effets haptiques, lors la marche, chez une population saine ou neurologique, sont peu connus. L'objectif de cette étude est d'examiner l'ajout d'information somatosensorielle provenant 1) du bout d'un doigt et 2) d'une canne instrumentée sur la marche d'individus ayant subi un AVC. Neuf adultes post-AVC et 9 individus sains ont marché sur un tapis roulant, à une vitesse qu'ils contrôlaient eux-mêmes. Le tapis roulant était fixé sur une plate-forme mobile faisant face à une scène virtuelle. Les conditions expérimentales consistaient à marcher sur une surface plane, inclinée de 5° vers le haut ou vers le bas: 1) sans aucun toucher, 2) avec un toucher léger du bout d'un doigt sur un capteur spécialisé et 3) en utilisant une canne instrumentée. La variabilité de la marche, exprimée par le coefficient de variation de la durée du cycle de marche (CV), la largeur des pas et la vitesse étaient les paramètres étudiés. Les résultats ont démontré que le toucher léger est une façon efficace pour améliorer la marche sur les plans inclinés chez les personnes post-AVC et peut être plus efficace que la canne lors la marche sur un plan incliné vers le bas. Des stratégies spécifiques (toucher léger ou canne) peuvent donc améliorer la marche de façon différente selon la tâche (surface plane ou inclinée). Ces effets n'ont pas été observés chez les personnes saines.

Abstract:
AbstractThis paper presents data and analysis from survey research conducted by the Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center on Information and Communications Technology Access for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Access for Community Living, Health and Function (LiveWell RERC) on the perceptions and attitudes of clinical professionals in rehabilitation medicine regarding mobile health (mHealth) and mobile rehabilitation (mRehab) practices, techniques and technology in the United States. The analytical focus of this paper is on two key survey questions related to specific barriers and opportunities (most critical use-cases) for adopting mHealth/mRehab interventions. We present response data to these two questions segmented by clinical specialty – physical, occupational, speech and recreation therapy – to identify possible variation between and among these rehabilitation professions. This analysis provides a detailed map of the terrain of clinician expectations and experiences for the adoption and implementation of mHealth/mRehab interventions in the United States, and possibly other countries. Results show substantial support for mRehab interventions and technologies across all four clinical specialties. The most frequently identified barriers to effective use of mobile and internet technologies to support patients remotely focused on patients (ability to learn and use the technology, and internet access), not clinicians. The was more variability among clinical specializations regarding best use-cases. Tracking patient adherence to prescribed activities and supporting patients in the home and community were the most frequently cited best use cases across the whole sample.

Abstract:
The main objective of this study was to design a new tool to explore the perception of professionally-related ethical values in Health Sciences undergraduate students. For this purpose, 24 conversational interviews, as well as an extensive literature review, were initially employed. Then, five ethical values were selected: respect for the patient, altruism, empathy, responsibility for my actions, and lifelong learning. Next, twenty cases with ethical dilemmas were created with protagonists pertaining to four degrees in the Health Sciences: Nursing, Dentistry, Physical Therapy, and Medicine. These cases were examined by professionals from these fields and presented to a sample of students to analyze their functioning. Our results indicate that the cases are easy to understand as most cases were identified correctly. Interestingly, students reported “respect for the patient” as the most important ethical value. The least important value was “altruism.” This new tool adds a practical perspective based on clinical cases with real-life dilemmas. Further studies are needed to continue exploring this topic.

Abstract:
The British Academy was asked by the Government Office for Science to produce an independent review on the long-term societal impacts of COVID-19. This report outlines the evidence across a range of areas, building upon a series of expert reviews, engagement, synthesis and analysis across the research community in the Social Sciences, Humanities and the Arts (SHAPE). It is accompanied by a separate report, Shaping the COVID decade, which considers how policymakers might respond. History shows that pandemics and other crises can be catalysts to rebuild society in new ways, but that this requires vision and interconnectivity between policymakers at local, regional and national levels. With the advent of vaccines and the imminent ending of lockdowns, we might think that the impact of COVID-19 is coming to an end. This would be wrong. We are in a COVID decade: the social, economic and cultural effects of the pandemic will cast a long shadow into the future – perhaps longer than a decade – and the sooner we begin to understand, the better placed we will be to address them. There are of course many impacts which flowed from lockdowns, including not being able to see family and friends, travel or take part in leisure activities. These should ease quickly as lockdown comes to an end. But there are a set of deeper impacts on health and wellbeing, communities and cohesion, and skills, employment and the economy which will have profound effects upon the UK for many years to come. In sum, the pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities and differences and created new ones, as well as exposing critical societal needs and strengths. These can emerge differently across places, and along different time courses, for individuals, communities, regions, nations and the UK as a whole. We organised the evidence into three areas of societal effect. As we gathered evidence in these three areas, we continually assessed it according to five cross-cutting themes – governance, inequalities, cohesion, trust and sustainability – which the reader will find reflected across the chapters. Throughout the process of collating and assessing the evidence, the dimensions of place (physical and social context, locality), scale (individual, community, regional, national) and time (past, present, future; short, medium and longer term) played a significant role in assessing the nature of the societal impacts and how they might play out, altering their long-term effects.
