Full textAim: The aim was to investigate how the symptoms in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus was changed from diagnosis to revisit three months postoperatively, in two different groups, one who had waited shorter and one who had waited longer than six months for surgery. In addition, to examine how the recovery looked like in each group and examine whether the symptoms at the revisit differed between the groups. Method: Journal review. 40 patients were divided into two groups, those who had waited shorter (group 1) respectively longer than six months (group 2). The patients had normal pressure hydrocephalus with no underlying cause, had not earlier undergone surgery with a shunt and were 40 years or older. Hydrocephalus variables (gait, balance, incontinence, Rankin and Mini Mental State Examination) were analyzed with non-parametric statistics. Results: Group 1 showed improvement of gait and balance variables from diagnosis to return visit. For Group 2, no difference could be seen. In group 1 there was a greater recovery than in group 2. At the return visit there was no difference in symptoms between the groups. Conclusion: A more rapid treatment with a shunt may be favorable for the patient’s symptoms and recovery.

Full textPatients with idopatic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) that are investigated och treated with shunt surgery may improve their walking ability and health related quality of life after surgery. There is limited knowledge regarding the investigation that leads to shunt surgery at Karolinska University Hospital, and how the surgery affects walk ability and health related quality of life, in patients with iNPH. The study investigated the differences regarding gait ability as well as health related quality of life, among patients with iNPH, before and three months after surgery. The study included 118 patients with iNPH, that underwent shunt surgery. The patients performed walking tests and estimated their health related quality of life, before and three months after surgery. The patients had a significant better walking ability after surgery. No clinical significant difference was seen regarding health related quality of life. Patients with suspected iNPH who were investigated and treated with shunt surgery at Karolinska University Hospital, had a better walking ability and a higher health related quality of life after surgery. Idopatic normal pressure hydrocephalus, gait, gait ability, health related quality of life, shunt surgery.

Full textBackground: It has been noticeable that some patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) find the expected result of shunt treatment not achieved and they report detoriation at postoperative follow-up even though standardized tests do not show results in that direction. It has also been shown that rehabilitation possibilities for patients varied, ranging from structured rehabilitation periods, e.g. at geriatric rehabilitation units to basically no rehabilitation at all. Objective: To describe what expectations patients with iNPH have on treatment with shunt and how they view their own role in the rehabilitation process. Method: A quality, descriptive design with manifest and inductive approach. The data collection was done by semi-structured interviews with seven patients with iNPH preoperative. Results: There was consensus among informants regarding the expectations on the result of shunt treatment. The expectations concerned the symptom triad (gait-and balance disturbance, urgency bladder and cognitive dysfunction) which often occurs in iNPH. Varied descriptions were given on how the symptoms had affected the informants. There was also an opinion among the informants that they had own responsibility for the rehabilitation process and suggestions were given on what they could contribute with in the process but also different obstacles for performing physical activities were described. Conclusion: Expectations on shunt treatment results need to be discussed with the patient (sometimes together with a relative) prior to shunt treatment, already when the patient is offered a shunt operation and also on the day before operation when the patient is in the neurosurgery clinic. The rehabilitation process also needs to be discussed with the patient before the shuntoperation as well as early postoperative. This is probably very important in order to achieve as optimal treatment results as possible.

Full textBakgrund. CoGNIT är ett datoriserat testbatteri för kognitiv bedömning som används vid diagnos och behandling av patienter med idiopatisk normaltryckshydrocefalus (INPH). Sjukdomen orsakar bland annat symptom som demens. Till skillnad från andra sjukdomar med liknande symptom, som Alzheimers, kan INPH motverkas. CoGNIT utförs av en patient före och efter dränering av cerebrospinalvätska. Om en förbättring av patientens kognitiva förmågor upptäcks efter dräneringen, shuntoperaras patienten och alla symptom minskas. Testbatteriet är långt och tråkigt, vilket gör det svårt för personer med kognitiva nedsättningar att slutföra. Syfte. Syftet med denna studie är att omarbeta CoGNIT med noggrant utvalda speldesignelement och analysera hur prestation och användarupplevelse påverkas av förändringen. Om användare presterar bättre i en spelifierad miljö kommer validiteten av insamlad data att förbättras eftersom datan borde bättre återspegla deras kognitiva förmågor. Ett annat mål är att introducera spelifiering till det medicinska området. Metod. Speldesignelement valdes ut och utformades baserat på dess lämplighet för äldre och med de funktionsnedsättnigar som INPH-patienter har i åtanke. En spelifierad prototyp utvecklades och testades med friska individer mot originalversionen i ett experiment. Effekterna av spelifiering på prestation undersöktes genom att jämföra poängvärden från båda versionerna av testet. Deltagarna fyllde också i ett frågeformulär som "proxy" för testets målgrupp, vilket innebär att frågorna besvarades med hur deltagarna förväntade sig att en kognitivt nedsatt person hade svarat. Svaren användes för att undersöka effekten av spelifiering på användarupplevelsen. Resultat. Den spelifierade versionen av CoGNIT visar en förbättring i testsegmenten som utvärderar uppmärksamhet, psykomotorisk hastighet, exekutiva funktioner och fingerfärdighet, men en försämring i segmenten som utvärderar minne. Resultat från frågeformuläret indikerar att den spelifierade versionen upplevs mindre dramatisk, mer lekfull, mindre "testliknande" och mindre tråkig jämfört medden icke-spelifierade versionen. Detta visar att de tillagda spelelementen påverkar användarupplevelsen som önskat. Slutsatser. En övergripande positiv inverkan på både prestanda och användarupplevelse från spelfiering fastställs. Den negativa effekten på minnestesterna kunde inte bedömas vara en orsak av spelifiering i sig.
