Abstract:

The key assumption of public transport is the overall accessibility for all its users. Lack of adjustments or only partial adjustments of the touristic transport infrastructure to the needs of elderly and disabled persons constitutes a barrier for their free mobility. The study aims to formalize measures to improve public transport activities by identifying the problems of the disabled and the elderly while traveling. The article presents an assessment of the current state and recognizing the most important problems of the physically disabled and elderly persons in the mobility in the city using public transport. The research part of the article attempts to assess the availability of solutions in public transport for the physically disabled and elderly persons. For practical simplification, the article focuses on the mass transport implemented by the only possible means of this type of transport for the research is a bus.In line with the predefined criterion, one city from the region of Bielsko-Biała was included into the research – city Szczyrk. In the article, the diagnostic survey was used as the best research method. The basic technique for collecting the empirical data was the open participating observation using the observation sheet. The basic research was complemented by the direct survey of disabled persons with various levels of disabilities to achieve intended results.The research concluded that the mobility of disabled persons in the transport processes was assessed positively despite multiple difficulties and obstacles caused by their limited mobility and the lack of transport infrastructure adjustments (bus stops or information systems).

Abstract:

Objective.To examine the frequency of impaired spinal mobility in patients with chronic back pain of short duration and to compare it with the frequency of impaired spinal mobility in patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), possible SpA, and no SpA.Methods.The SpondyloArthritis Caught Early (SPACE) cohort includes patients with chronic back pain (≥ 3 mos, ≤ 2 yrs, onset < 45 yrs). Spinal mobility was assessed with lateral spinal flexion, chest expansion, cervical rotation, occiput-to-wall distance, and lumbar flexion. Hip mobility was assessed with intermalleolar distance. Mobility measures were defined as impaired if below the 5th percentile reference curve from general population, adjusted for age and height when appropriate. Proportions of patients categorized with impaired mobility were examined with chi square.Results.In total, 393 patients with chronic back pain were included: 142 axSpA, 140 possible SpA, and 111 no SpA. Impairment in ≥ 1 mobility measure was present in 66% of all patients. The most frequently impaired mobility measure was lateral spinal flexion (40%), followed by chest expansion (22%), cervical rotation (18%), intermalleolar distance (17%), lumbar flexion (15%), and occiput-to-wall distance (11%). No statistically significant differences in proportion of patients with impaired spinal mobility were found between patients with axSpA and the other subgroups in any of the tests.Conclusion.Two out of 3 patients with chronic back pain of short duration had impaired spinal mobility compared to the general population. Impaired spinal mobility occurs as often in patients with early axSpA as in other forms of chronic back pain.

Abstract:

he paper is aimed at the design of a mobility assistive device to help the visually impaired. The traditional use of a walking stick proposes its own drawbacks and limitations. Our research is motivated by the inability of the visually impaired people to ambulate and we have made an attempt to restore their independence and reduce the trouble of carrying a stick around. We offer a hands-free wearable glass which finds it utility in real-time navigation. The design of the smart glasses includes the integration of various sensors with raspberry pi. The paper presents a detailed account of the various components and the structural design of the glasses. The novelty of our work lies in providing a complete pipeline for analysis of surroundings in real-time and hence a better solution for navigating during the day to day activities using audio instructions as output.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and Objectives: Anticholinergic drugs are commonly prescribed in older adults despite growing evidence of their adverse outcomes. We aimed to improve knowledge about deleterious effects of anticholinergic drugs on both cognition and mobility, in particular whether there is a threshold value for the number of anticholinergic drugs or for the anticholinergic burden leading to mobility or cognitive impairment. Methods: 177 community-dwelling individuals aged 55 years or over, with a fall history in the previous year, took part in the study. Anticholinergic drugs were identified using the Anticholinergic Drug Scale (ADS), and global cognition and mobility were assessed using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Time-Up-and-Go (TUG) test, respectively. Results: ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) curve analysis indicated that consumption of a single anticholinergic drug per day was a risk factor for impaired MMSE (p < .05) and TUG scores (p < .05). There was also a cut-off of anticholinergic burden of one for impaired MMSE scores (p < .05). Logistic regressions showed that impaired cognition induced by anticholinergic drugs were independent of confounding factors including comorbidities, while impaired mobility would be influenced by age and cardiac comorbidities. Conclusion: Daily consumption of a single anticholinergic drug, regardless of its anticholinergic burden, impairs both cognition and mobility community-dwelling seniors. Alternative solutions to anticholinergic drug prescription should thus be considered whenever possible.

Abstract:

Abstract- Visually impaired is a general term to describe the condition of a person experiencing disability to their sense of sight. Due to the disability, the process of orientation and mobility of the people with visually impairment is inhibited. Therefore they try to increase their sensitivity of other senses like sense of touch, sense of smell, and sense of hearing to obtain information from the surrounding physical environment. PSBN Wyata Guna is a residential for the visually impaired, as the physical environment it must have physical elements that can provide information which affect effectivelly to the orientation and mobility of the visually impaired. The purpose of this study is to find out what physical elements in the environment of PSBN Wyata Guna that affect the orientation and mobility of the visually impaired and how effective the influence of these elements.This study use qualitative descriptive methods by mapping the behavior of fourteen respondents (person-centered mapping) who do orientation and mobility in the physical environment of PSBN Wyata Guna. Physical environments are classified based on elements that define the space, ie horizontal and vertical planes, which is, tactile pavements, materials differences, Ramps, steps, corridor columns, ceramic walls, shrubs, and hand railling. Observations held on Saturday and Sunday in the morning-afternoon when most of visually impaired do their activities outside the dorm.The result of this research shows that people with visual impairment in the environment of PSBN Wyata Guna use the physical environment to obtain information for their orientation and mobility. This orientation and mobility activity is mostly affected by tactile pavements, ceramic walls, and Ramps. Shrubs and hand railling have less role to the orientation and mobility of the visually impaired. Thus, it can be concluded that the physical environment of PSBN Wyata Guna is influential in the orientation and mobility of the visually impaired.

Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to describe and compare various methods of recovering atrophied fast-twitch skeletal muscle following long-term impaired physical mobility. An animal model was used to study morphological adaptations of atrophied plantaris muscles to the effects of 28 days of hindlimb suspension (HS) followed by either sedentary recovery or run training during a 28-day recovery period. Significant atrophy, demonstrated by decreased mean fiber area (MFA,mm2), occurred during the 28-day period of HS. However, run training following long-term atrophy induced by HS did not result in the high levels of frank muscle damage and type IIC fibers previously reported in slow-twitch soleus muscle following longterm (28 days) atrophy.

Abstract:

Impaired vocal fold motion may result from cricoarytenoid joint fixation, bilateral vocal fold paralysis, or interarytenoid scarring. Traditional surgical techniques have focused on lateralization or resection of the arytenoid for airway improvement. This paper discusses 3 cases of bilateral reduced vocal fold motion of neurogenic cause treated with posterior cricoid grafting to cause a wider resting position of the vocal folds and arytenoids. Airway improvement occurred in all. The voice results have been encouraging. Advantages of this procedure are that the vocal folds are symmetric, there is no vocal fold or joint scarring, and the larynx remains a candidate for electrical pacing when that becomes available. Acoustic and aerodynamic voice results are presented. The results should be considered preliminary.

Abstract:

Most accidents occurring at medical institutions treating elderly patients with mobility impairment are bedsores and fall accidents. One of the reasons for this high rate of accidents is the lack of nursing personnel. In order to aid caregivers in nursing elderly patients who are not able to move about freely, in this paper, we propose a design and implementation of a smart bed. In this bed, several pressure sensors are deployed underneath the mattress cover to consider both peoples’ standard physical characteristics and the specific body parts where bedsores commonly occur. To manage the pressure ulcer area and to prevent falls, the body area is divided into three vertical areas and three horizontal areas. Each microcontroller unit manages pressure-sensing information in one of the body regions divided horizontally. In this study, a real-time pressure-sensing algorithm is presented that is capable of deciding on the possibilities of bedsores and falling accidents by considering both the intensity and the duration of pressure of specific body parts. Our experimental results demonstrate that a prototype smart bed works well for several human models of various heights and weights.

Abstract:

This paper presents a new insight into the limitations experienced by older people with reduced vision in daily life activities. With an ageing population, increasing numbers of Dutch people are affected by visual impairment. In contrast to other European countries, occupational therapists in the Netherlands do work with this specific group, but little research has as yet been conducted in this field. This study explores in detail the mobility experiences of 10 older people with a visual impairment. Each participant was interviewed twice; the data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using Giorgi's method of empirical phenomenology. The participants' severely limited mobility clearly influenced their occupational choices, space and independence, with a particularly negative change in activities of daily living. They attended fewer social activities and became more dependent on assistance, which made them anxious. Visual impairments were often misunderstood by others and the absence of facial recognition was experienced as a severe barrier to social interaction. Some specific difficulties that visually impaired older people may experience are now more transparent, which might inspire occupational therapists in other countries to work in this field.

Abstract:

PurposeTo sufficiently fulfill the travel potential of people with mobility impairments (PwMIs), this study aims to propose a valuable supplement to facility/service accommodation by hospitality/tourism businesses by identifying and purposefully cultivating the superior motivation types for empowering PwMI’s travel pursuits despite challenges. To this end, the study proposes a self-determined versus controlled motivation subdivision to the predominant travel motivation typologies, with its practical value, theoretical value and application feasibility verified.Design/methodology/approachTo ensure the verification reliability across challenge travels, the study adopts an extreme groups design for data collection. Qualtrics surveys situated in two resort-package scenarios contrast in facility/service accommodation levels are paired with two US PwMI groups contrast in travel capabilities. An unconventional mix of analytical information and seemingly unrelated regressions are adopted for data analyses.FindingsSelf-determined motivations are found as the superior facilitators of PwMI’s challenging resort-travel pursuits, confirming the practical value of the proposed motivation subdivision. The theoretical value is verified given the subdivision’s significant explanatory power for resort-travel attitude and behavioral intentions, after controlling for travel purpose fulfillment. It is also feasible to achieve the targeted cultivation of self-determined motivations by supporting the basic physiological needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness.Practical implicationsThe study’s context-based findings on the effective motivational mechanisms for PwMI can guide hospitality/tourism businesses to improve PwMI-targeted marketing effectiveness and efficiency.Originality/valueKey theoretical contributions include expanding the explanatory power of travel motivation typologies, enhanced integration of self-determination theory into travel motivation conceptualization and more accurate reflection of the widespread presence of social factors in travel motivations.
