Abstract:

In addition to theory testing, researchers have also examined if exercise interventions serve to enhance psychological constructs such as self-esteem and behavior such as functional fitness, activities of daily living (ADL), and physical activity. The purpose of this chapter is to review the physical activity (PA) intervention research and offer criticisms and future research directions. Laboratory PA interventions have been effective at increasing physical capacity, muscular strength, walking ability, and reducing body weight, stress, depression, and pain. However, laboratory research has bee

Abstract:

Similar to most musculoskeletal diseases, ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has the potential to impact physical functioning and work ability. Physical functioning refers to the ability to move to accomplish a task, and includes activities such as self-care, mobility, and doing chores. Physical functioning provides the foundation for the ability to work. Both physical functioning and work ability can be impacted by specific aspects of AS, as well as by barriers in the environment. Although patients with AS tend to have fewer functional limitations than patients with other rheumatic diseases, most pa

Abstract:

Children with cerebral palsy have major motor impairments that lead to reduced fitness and physical activity levels. Increased energy cost of walking in combination with reduced aerobic fitness induces high levels of physical strain that can lead to fatigue complaints and limited physical activity. To assess fitness, adapted laboratory and field exercise tests with good reliability and validity are available for both ambulant and wheelchair-using children with cerebral palsy. Children with cerebral palsy show increased sedentary time and low physical activity levels which relate to increased r

Abstract:

Mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU are commonly immobilized for prolonged time periods due to factors that include the underlying illness, encephalopathy, or sedation. In this setting, severe ICU-acquired weakness is common and may represent both a cause and consequence of immobilization. Physical and occupational therapy is feasible in ICU patients, even very early during mechanical ventilation. This intervention requires a coordinated effort between physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and the physical/occupational therapy team. Early physical and occupational therapy can lea

Abstract:

Bones are multifunctional passive organs of movement that supports soft tissue and directly attached muscles. They also protect internal organs and are a reserve of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. Each bone is covered with periosteum, and the adjacent bone surfaces are covered by articular cartilage. Histologically, the bone is an organ composed of many different tissues. The main component is bone tissue (cortical and spongy) composed of a set of bone cells and intercellular substance (mineral and organic), it also contains fat, hematopoietic (bone marrow) and cartilaginous tissue.

Abstract:

Chapter 7 elucidates the relationships between the structure and functioning of aquatic ecosystems at high altitude through the description of material cycles and food webs. Following the landscape continuum model, material cycling is profoundly influenced by the physical structure of the waterscape (e.g. vegetation cover); as a result a great diversity of energetic pathways characterize high altitude waterscapes, along an autotrophy–heterotrophy gradient. Similarly, high altitude aquatic food webs embrace a great diversity of trophic compartments, feeding strategies, and processes (trophic ca

Chapter 35 gives an understanding of the role of exercise in the functional assessment and clinical management of children with neuromuscular diseases, especially for children with CP and PMD. Current knowledge about exercise capacity and training possibilities with respect to the different fitness components (aerobic power, anaerobic power, muscular strength) will be described as well as the level of physical activity and training recommendations. Practical advice and suggestions are given on how to build up and execute an adapted programme for physical activity, sports, and exercise. Data wi

Abstract:

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability throughout the world, particularly among young adults, affecting untold numbers of women of childbearing age. TBIs can disrupt almost any aspect of physical, cognitive, and/or emotional functioning, potentially complicating a woman’s ability to conceive, carry, and deliver a healthy child. For women who are already pregnant and sustain a TBI, medical stabilization of the mother and management of risk of further injury to the fetus are priorities. For women with a previous history of TBI, comprehensive assessment and optima

Abstract:

This chapter reviews the literature on quality of life and functional impairment in body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and discusses important lines of future research. Quality of life and psychosocial functioning are often poor in individuals with BDD. This is the case across multiple domains, including social, occupational, academic, and physical functioning. BDD symptoms often directly interfere with a person’s ability and willingness to engage in activities of daily living. Individuals with BDD frequently have high levels of social avoidance, which interferes with the development and maintenan

Abstract:

While drugs play a key role in reducing disease activity, non-pharmacological therapies are crucial in maintaining function, flexibility, and quality of life. Therefore, non-pharmacological therapy remains a key component in the optimal management of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), even in the era of biologics. Regular physical therapy allows patients to capitalize on the benefits of drug therapy and maintain optimal functional ability. Self-management and education strategies, supported by patient-support groups, facilitate independence and quality of life in chronic diseases. A proportion o

The consultation liaison psychiatrist frequently encounters questions of decision-making capacity for hospitalized geriatric patients. This trend will only continue as the population ages and questions about the ability of aging patients to make medical decisions and broader life decisions arise more and more frequently. Consultation liaison psychiatrists tasked with determining these capacities may be faced with a duality of roles: responsibility to the patient but also protective obligations imposed by laws and regulations.

Abstract:

This ground-breaking history of the UK Women’s Liberation Movement explores the individual and collective memories of women at its heart. Spanning at least two generations and four nations, and moving through the tumultuous decades from the 1970s to the present, the narrative is powered by feminist oral history, notably the British Library’s Sisterhood and After: The Women’s Liberation Oral History Project. The book mines these precious archives to bring fresh insight into the lives of activists and the campaigns and ideas they mobilised. It navigates still-contested questions of class, race,
