▼ BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia is a chronic mental disorder presenting with psychotic and cognitive symptoms that lead to impairments in independent living and psychosocial functioning. Individuals with schizophrenia demonstrate cognitive deficits in areas of attention, executive functioning, memory, and language. Additionally, schizophrenia has been associated with impairments in activities of daily living (ADLs) such as toileting and the ability to feed one’s self and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) such as taking medication, financial management, communication, and transportation. METHODS: Twenty-six participants diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorders were recruited from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center’s Division of Translational Neuroscience of Schizophrenia’s IRB approved Database Registry for Psychotic Disorders and completed a neuropsychological test battery which included the Texas Functional Living Scale (TFLS) and University of California San Diego (UCSD) Performance-based Skills Assessment (UPSA). IBM SPSS Statistics (SPSS v. 19.0) was used to perform Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple regression analyses to identify which subscale(s) of the TFLS had the highest predictive ability for examining IADLs to create a possible short form and to identify which subscales of the TFLS long form have the strongest correlation to neurocognitive measures used in the study. The present pilot study used the Type I error rate at .10; a 90% confidence interval. RESULTS: Results of the analysis indicated that the Time and Money Calculation subscales of the TFLS long form significantly correlated with more neurocognitive measures than the UPSA. Specifically, these two subscales had a higher number of moderate to strong correlations with the neurocognitive measures compared to the UPSA. Results also indicated the TFLS short form to have a stronger correlation with the UPSA (r =.59, p < .003) compared to baseline correlations of the TFLS long form and the UPSA (r = .34, p < .112), which suggests that the Time and Money Calculations subscales of the TFLS can be used as a valid short form of the TFLS in the assessment of IADLS in schizophrenia. DISCUSSION: Overall, the short form of the TFLS appears to be a valuable addition to standard neuropsychological assessment batteries given its numerous correlations with neurocognitive measures. Results also suggest that the TFLS short form is a stronger measure for detecting IADL impairments compared to its original long form and the UPSA.

▼ Difficulties using the internet can represent a barrier to optimal daily functioning, particularly for older adults, who may experience age-related neurocognitive changes. While much of the research on aging and internet task performance has focused on information searching, internet transit planning and navigation may also be relevant for older adults. The current study examined the effects of older age on internet navigation skills using a novel transit planning paradigm, explored neurocognitive correlates of internet transit navigation performance, and assessed the potential benefit of brief experimental support designed to enhance internet transportation planning ability and performance. Participants included 40 older and 50 younger adults who completed three thematically interrelated transit internet navigation tasks via a live San Francisco Transit website. Regression analyses showed that older adults were less accurate and also slower to complete internet transit tasks compared to younger participants at the level of large effect sizes. Among all participants, internet transit speed and accuracy demonstrated small-to-medium positive associations with standard clinical measures of episodic learning and memory. For a fourth transit task, participants in each group were randomized into either a control condition or into a condition in which they received a brief experimental support session to facilitate the planning and execution of the task. A significant age by condition term was observed, whereby the planning supports were more beneficial in the younger group than in the older group. Findings suggest that older adults experience difficulties quickly and accurately using a transit website to plan transportation routes, which may be related to their ability to learn and recall information. Given the lack of efficacy of a brief, planning-based support strategy among older adults, future work might examine the potential benefits of effective learning and memory strategies (e.g., spaced retrieval practice, elaboration).

▼ The continuous development in medical and healthcare sector has led the human civilization to have an increased life expectancy which in turn will lead to a higher than ever before population of elder people soon. This concept of world aging has spurred the development of healthcare services and facilities for the elderly population. There are a lot of daily activity and behavior monitoring systems that are built to promote independent living in people of age and aid in terms of health care to perform the basic activities of daily living. However, it has been observed that most of these systems uses either people or care takers to monitor the health and make their own judgements based on their own experience and intellect, or use sensors that are too complex, expensive, intrusive and/or unreliable. These problems have obstructed a lot for achieving convincible results in the healthcare monitoring applications. To deal with this issue, the proposed research designs a systematic framework of an intelligent mechanism that is low-cost, flexible, easy to install, robust and accurate for monitoring basic activities of daily living of elderly and assess their health status. Additionally, this model doesn’t raise concerns related to security, privacy and legal aspects which is a cause for growing concern these days. The model in this research focuses on monitoring functional health of the elderly based on the Katz index of ADL. It has been established that functional health is the dominant health classification because it depends on all mental health, physical health as well as the quality of life. A practical data acquisition strategy is established from sensor to collect data for appliance usage. The collected data is then analyzed and inference were drawn based on the habits and preferences of the occupant of the house (subject). A preliminary work plan for behavioral deviation detection and psychometric property testing is proposed. This research provides a guideline for developing health assessment instruments based on appliance usage data in healthcare monitoring applications for the elderly. Ultimately, the proposed system would be useful to improve elders’ quality of life by giving them freedom from the feeling of `being watched’, lower their healthcare cost and reduce their reliance on caregivers.

▼ This thesis, entitled 'Exploring everyday activities in relation to cognition and well-being in dementia: Implications for care interventions', is being re-submitted by the doctoral candidate Clarissa Marie Giebel for the degree of a PhD in Psychology at the University of Manchester, on June 8th, 2018. People with dementia (PwD) experience difficulties with cognition and instrumental and basic activities of daily living (IADLs/ADLs). Although both can have a detrimental impact on the PwD' and the informal caregivers' well-being, little evidence has explored the degree of everyday activity impairments in mild dementia and its relationship to cognition. Therefore, this thesis aimed to: (1) start preliminary development of a questionnaire examining everyday activity deficits that incorporates new areas of activities breaks these down into sub-tasks; (2) assess the relationship between everyday activity and cognitive function in mild dementia and (3) assess the relationship between everyday activity and PwD and caregiver well-being; and (4) to synthesise the findings to begin to explore opportunities for everyday activity interventions in mild dementia. A mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies were employed, involving questionnaire design, a cross-sectional postal survey, exploratory study design, narrative reviews, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analysed using primarily correlation and regression analysis, and qualitative data were analysed using thematic analysis. Review 1 highlighted a gap in the evidence on detailed IADL/ADL impairments in mild dementia and their cognitive underpinnings. No theoretical approach has so far captured these relationships, so the first step towards the creation of a theoretically-driven model was conceptualised. Exploring individual IADL deficits led to the development of the Revised Interview for Deteriorations in Daily Living Activities in Dementia 2, which highlighted variations in the initiative and performance of everyday activities (Study A, B, and C). Specifically, Alzheimer's disease showed fewer impairments than vascular or mixed dementia. Study B and C showed that nearly all activities were significantly associated with PwD and caregiver well-being. Examination of individual ADLs (Study D) indicated their different deterioration throughout dementia, whilst ADL performance was only in some instances significantly associated with quality of life across Europe. Study E showed different cognitive underpinnings for the initiative and performance of IADLs, such as medication management being associated with attention and executive function. Review 2 showed that little to no theoretical knowledge had been amalgamated into everyday functioning interventions for mild dementia and mild cognitive impairment. The Synthesis coalesced all findings into the meaningful development of future interventions, guided by a two-stage focus group with health professionals and informal caregivers. In conclusion, this thesis successfully achieved its four… Advisors/Committee Members: CHALLIS, DAVID DJ, Montaldi, Daniela, Challis, David.

▼ Chronic pain is a widespread problem, especially in the older population, and can affect various aspects of daily living. At a time when it has been acknowledged that the population is increasingly ageing, research regarding the effects of chronic pain on the daily living of older adults is essential. Furthermore, the development of innovative technology is changing the way that much research is being conducted, and can lead to the retrieval of novel information, using a fresh approach. The adoption of this technology in the field of chronic pain research has the potential to examine various aspects of the daily living of older adults living with chronic pain using a different approach to previous research. This study is underpinned by a Critical Realist ontology and Hermeneutic epistemology and follows a Generic Qualitative Research methodology (Caelli, et al., 2003). The aim of the study was not to generalise the findings but to gather a deep theoretical description of the outcomes and offer an explanation of these findings based on an analysis of the multiple research methods used within the study. This study had two main aims and was split into two sections according to the aims. Firstly, Part A of this study aimed to explore a range of day-to-day patterns and experiences of functioning in older adults suffering from chronic pain. Part B aimed to explore the usability, acceptance and experience of the technology used to measure functioning as part of the first aim of this study. Part B also aimed to look at the practicalities the participants were faced with when using the technology. A mixed methods design was used for Part A in which 15 older adults (65+) living with chronic pain (pain >3 months) took part in an in-depth study lasting seven days. As well as the 15 core participants that took part in the study, two older adults (65+) without chronic pain and two younger adults (<65) with chronic pain took part in the study in order to provide some insight into the effects of either pain, or age, on functioning. Part A used four data collection techniques to gather data upon the daily functioning of older adults with chronic pain; the Daily Reconstruction Method diary (Kahneman, Krueger, Schkade, Schwarz, Stone, 2004), the Sensecam (also known as the Vicon Revue, Vicon©), the LifeShirt (Vivometrics Inc) and a semi-structured interview. However, although the LifeShirt was validated, as part of this PhD, and used throughout the study, the gathered data was not analysed due to multiple problems with the data. The Daily Reconstruction Method, Sensecam and the semi-structured interview were each analysed separately before the results of the Daily Reconstruction Method and Sensecam were integrated into the themes derived from the semi-structured interviews. The integrated results led to the development of two themes, each with sub-themes; ‘effect on daily living’ and ‘managing pain and functioning’. The themes from Part A highlighted the way in which pain affected functioning and the modifications to daily functioning…

▼ This study examined the relationship between five neurocognitive domains, including memory, visual-spatial skills, executive functioning, language, and attention, and three instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), (financial management, medication management, and driving), as well as three basic activities of daily living (ADLs), including dressing, feeding, and grooming. Subjects were community dwelling older adults diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) ranging in severity from mild to severe. Correlation and regression models were used to analyze the relationship between neurocognitive domains and self-care activities. All of the neurocognitive domains were significantly but mildly correlated with declines in IADLs, and all of the neurocognitive domains, except memory, were significantly but mildly correlated with ADL decline. None of the regression models, except driving, produced significant results. The hypotheses were based on the belief that overlap occurs between declines in cognitive domains and self-care skills. The results of this study support the assertion that global cognitive decline occurs followed by declines in IADLs and later declines in ADLs. Thus, instead of specific neurocognitive domains predicting decline in individual self-care skills, this research indicates that the degree of severity of cognitive decline is predictive of impairments in IADLs or ADLs with milder global impairment predicting IADLs and more pronounced decline predicting declines in ADLs. Degree of severity may have been more predictive because while individuals vary in cognitive symptom presentation, the course of AD always progresses from mild to more severe. The role of over-learning also potentially impacted the results of the study. Individuals learn and daily practice ADLs at a young age causing them to require less higher level cognitive skills (over-learned). Since over-learned IADLs require less higher level cognition, they were preserved longer in AD course, thus declining after global cognitive impairment. Clinicians need to thoroughly assess the degree to which an individual has over-learned a task in order to make the most accurate recommendations. If an individual has milder global decline, IADLs are likely to be impaired, and if an individual has moderate global decline with memory reaching a floor, ADLs are likely to be impaired.

▼ Rationale: The neurotoxic effects of comorbid HIV infection and substance use disorders (HIV/SUD) preferentially impact the fronto-striatal regions of the brain, leading to increased disruption of higher-order executive functions. Poor insight into such neurocognitive deficits (impaired metacognition) tracks with executive dysfunction and is associated with errors in everyday life. We evaluated the efficacy of a brief Metacognitive Training module for neurorehabilitation of HIV/SUD individuals.Design: A between-subjects, randomized design was used to examine the effectiveness of Metacognitive Training among HIV/SUD individuals with current executive dysfunction. To determine the efficacy of the Metacognitive Training compared to an executive strategy (Goal Management Training, GMT), 90 HIV/SUD participants were randomized to: 1) active control (n=30); 2) executive strategy only (i.e., GMT; n=30); or 3) Metacognitive Training plus executive strategy (Meta+GMT; n=30). Following the study condition, participants completed a complex instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) task (Everyday Multitasking Test, “Everyday MT”); additionally, in-vivo metacognitive abilities regarding IADL task performance were evaluated. Results: There was an increasing tendency for better Everyday MT performances across study conditions (Control≤GMT≤Meta+GMT) that approached significance (ps<0.08). Pairwise differences indicated the GMT or Meta+GMT trainings demonstrated small (d=0.20-0.24) benefits in Everyday MT performance compared to the control condition (ps<0.11). HIV/SUD individuals who completed the GMT (in addition to the Meta or not) had significant, medium-sized enhancements in Everyday MT performances compared the control condition (ps<0.05; ds=0.38-0.41); the effect of these enhancements became even larger among those who had poorer dual-tasking capacities prior to training and completed the GMT (ps<0.04; ds=0.83-1.04). Regarding metacognition, although there was no significant study group effect on Global Metacognition, Online Awareness (one of the two components of global abilities) showed a significant positive trend across training condition (Control≤GMT≤Meta+GMT; p=0.04). Among the skills comprising Online Awareness, a tendency toward more elaborate Task Appraisals was observed among HIV/SUD individuals who completed either the GMT or Meta+GMT (versus control; ps<0.07, ds=0.21-0.27). Those who completed the GMT (in addition to the Meta or alone) demonstrated medium, significant benefits of GMT on Task Appraisals compared to the control condition (p=0.01; d=0.50).Conclusions: Our experimental design demonstrated meaningful benefits of a brief GMT executive strategy for everyday multitasking and metacognition among HIV/SUD individuals. Ours are among the first findings supporting a compensatory neurorehabilitation tool in HIV+ individuals and/or substance users.

▼ Introduction. A key component in preserving mobility and independence in later years is maintaining the fitness capacity needed to perform normal everyday activities such as lifting and carrying objects, climbing stairs, getting in and out of transportation vehicles, and walking far enough to do one’s own shopping and errands (Paterson & Warburton, 2010). Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to determine any differential effects of exercise on the physical fitness of older adults with different levels of physical function. The secondary aim was to observe and compare the exercise habits of these functionally diverse older adult women. Specifically, the amount of time spent exercising was considered in relation to levels of physical fitness. Methods. A convenience sample of 30 women (n = 30, mage = 69 years) recruited from the YWCO in Athens, Georgia completed participation in this study. Two groups of participants (high n=13, mod/low n=17) were formed according to their physical ability to live independently as determined by the Composite Physical Function (CPF) scale for the first study. Two groups (n=15 and n=15) were formed according to the amount of time they spent engaged in exercise for the second study. Results. Study 1 The results of the 3 X 2 mixed ANOVA statistical analysis showed no significant interaction effect for time*group for any of the six subtests (chair stand, arm curls, 2-min step, chair sit &reach, back scratch, and 6-ft up & go) of the SFT. Study 2 Statistical analysis showed a significant interaction effect for time*group for the 8-foot Up & Go test. Conclusions. Community-based exercise programs offering a variety of exercise types to people with varying levels of functional ability, can be useful in maintaining or improving fitness and independence. Second, these programs may also be capable of improving the self-efficacy of lower functioning older adults toward performing daily tasks. Additionally, self-report instruments such as activity logs may be useful to track and gain an understanding of the exercise habits of older adults.

▼ Dementia represents a series of degenerative diseases known to cause a decline in cognitive functioning. A significant yet understudied type of dementia is frontotemporal dementia (FTD), characterized primarily by deficits in executive abilities and language. There is, particularly, little data regarding the daily functional abilities of FTD patients. The current study aimed to detail patterns of activities of daily living, using an observation-based test, and neuropsychological performance of patients with FTD. Thirteen participants with FTD were administered the Direct Assessment of Functional Status (DAFS). Fourteen subscales of the DAFS, designed to assess areas of orientation, communication, transportation, shopping, and financial skills were assessed. Each task within the subscales is observed and rated objectively by the researcher who scores participants on their performance; higher scores are equivalent to better performance. DAFS subscale scores were then converted to percentage correct responses for each subscale. FTD and 57 normal age and education-matched controls also completed a battery of cognitive tests designed to assess major cognitive domains, which included the Digit Span, CVLT, WCST, FAS and Rey-O. FTD patients' raw neuropsychological test scores were converted to z-scores using control participants' mean and standard deviation measures in order to create comparable units of measurement. The results revealed no significant differences between the neuropsychological z-scores for the FTD. However, a significant difference in ADL performance across groups, with NC outperforming those with FTD on nearly all areas of ADL performance was found. Within group analyses revealed that tasks related to recall, recognition and executive functioning were particularly difficult for those with FTD. Overall results support prior research in stating that those with FTD will be outperformed by normal controls on tasks related to ADL functioning. However, what this study specifically identifies is that within the range of deficits characterized through the DAFS scores, there are areas of ADL performance which are significantly more challenging for those with FTD in relation to not only age matched controls, but within their own patterns of deficits.

▼ Individuals with heart failure (HF) have lower cerebral blood flow (CBF) and oxygenation at rest, and lower cerebral oxygenation at peak exercise, likely due to insufficient cardiac output and poor respiratory function; however, no studies have examined the effects of low intensity activity such as are common of activities of daily living, on cerebral hemodynamics in individuals with HF. We recruited 10 individuals with HF (aged 78±4 years, 7 men, LVEF 20- 61%), and 13 healthy age-matched controls (aged 79±8 years, 4 men, LVEF 52-73%) to examine the cerebral hemodynamic response to quiet standing and walking. Participants completed 3 transitions; 1) supine to 3-minutes standing, 2) sitting to 3-minutes walking at a self-selected slow pace, 3) sitting to 3-minutes walking at a self-selected normal pace. Portable finger plethysmography measured central hemodynamics, portable capnography measured partial pressure end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2), portable transcranial Doppler ultrasound measured cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV), and near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measured cerebral oxygenation. Participants with HF had lower cardiac index (Qi), compared to control participants during seated and supine rest (P < 0.001), quiet standing (P < 0.001), and normal and slow pace walking (P = 0.006). Participants with HF had an attenuated Qi response during walking compared to control participants (group x speed interaction: P = 0.008), suggesting a poor cardiac response to low intensity activity. Cerebral oxygenation was lower in participants with HF during seated and supine rest (P = 0.020), quiet standing (P = 0.034), and normal and slow pace walking (P = 0.004), compared to control participants. Repeated-measures correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between Qi and cerebral oxygenation across exercise challenges (quiet standing, as well as slow and normal pace walking). Interestingly, there was a significant negative relationship between Qi and cerebral oxygenation (rrm = -0.53, P< 0.001) in the participants with HF, whereas there was a significant positive relationship (rrm = 0.35, P = 0.003) in the control participants. This was likely the consequence of ineffective blood flow redistribution, which has been previously documented during exercise in individuals with HF; however, this finding in the present study is particularly problematic as the experimental conditions (quiet standing and walking) are extremely common during daily living. Sustained cerebral desaturation experienced repeatedly during daily function may manifest as ischemic damage in cerebral tissue with adverse clinical outcomes. In particular, cerebral desaturation during standing and low intensity activity may partially explain poor exercise tolerance and cognitive impairment previously reported in individuals with HF.

▼ ABSTRACT • Background: Patients with stroke might show deterioration performance during their follow-up treatments in comparison with their motor capacity at the moment they were discharged from a rehabilitation centre. Monitoring of daily-life performance by stroke survivors at home is essential for optimal aftercare. Therefore a system (INTERACTION) which monitors Activities of Daily Living (ADL) performance was developed. INTERACTION consists of clothing and footwear in which sensors are processed. These sensors measured kinetics and kinematics by using force sensors and inertial motion sensors. Problem is that there are at present no objective measures to quantify or objectify daily-life activities. Currently, daily-life activities are measured by subjective questionnaires and a-specific clinical tests. Knowledge about the relationship between patients' daily-life performance, daily-life questionnaires and a-specific clinical tests of Walking Ability (WA) is necessary before INTERACTION can be used at home. • Aim: The aim of the pilot study is to investigate the relation between INTERACTION and patient's ADL performance, ADL questionnaires and a-specific clinical tests which consists of ADL activities focused on WA. • Methods: An explorative cross-sectional pilot study was used to determine the relationship between patient's ADL performance (climbing stairs), ADL questionnaire (Barthel Index), a-specific clinical tests consists of ADL (Berg Balance Scale, Timed Up and Go test and 10 Meter Walk Test) and INTERACTION (foot position (X,Y), Centre of Mass). All clinical tests, ADL performance and the questionnaire will be correlated by a newly developed static and dynamic balance measure, measured with INTERACTION. The degree of correlation is calculated by using of the Spearman’s Rank correlation and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. • Results: 8 patients [M=6/W=2, age 66.3 ±SD 7.8] participated in the study. The correlation between static balance and separate components of the Berg Balance Scale varied from -0.4954 to -0.7829. The correlation between dynamic balance and10 Meter Walk Test, Timed Up and Go test, climbing stairs and the dynamic items of the Berg Balance Scale varied from 0.4039 to 0.5191. There was a correlation of 0.5294 between the average of static balance, dynamic balance and quasi static balance to the Barthel Index. • Conclusion: This pilot study found a moderate to strong correlation between patient's ADL performance, ADL questionnaires and a-specific clinical tests focused on WA and INTERACTION.

▼ With aging there is a decrease in a person’s ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) which may be most effectively addressed using training patterns that are biomechanically similar to ADL. Since aquatic exercise offers the opportunity to provide resistance with a high level of safety, the pool may afford the ideal environment for ADL-specific training in an aging population. Purpose: The purpose of this investigation was to compare a traditional aquatic exercise program (TRAD) to an aquatic program tailored to target ADL (ADLspec). Methods: Eighteen independently living individuals (68.7 + 7.5 years) were randomly assigned to a TRAD or ADLspec aquatic exercise group. The exercise groups attended 1 hr exercise sessions, 2 times per week for 8 weeks. ADL ability was assessed using the short version of the Continuous-Scale Physical Functional Performance Test (PFP-10); while strength and power were assessed using the 30s arm curl and 30 sec. chair stand tests. Results: Mixed design ANOVAs revealed a significant group x time interaction for floor sweep time with the ADLspec group outperforming the TRAD and control (CON) groups (p = .043). Additionally, the ADLspec group improved the pan weight and scarf time components of the PFP-10 (p < .020), while the TRAD group improved pan time and laundry time (p < .046). Both training groups showed similar improvements for jacket time, grocery weight, and 6-min walk, (p < .046). The ADLspec and TRAD groups also made similar improvements in upper and lower body strength, as well as lower body power across time, (p < .043). A student’s t-test revealed the TRAD group spent more time exercising during the hour session than the ADLspec group (p < .05). Conclusion: The results indicate that performing an ADLspec aquatic exercise program can increase performance of ADL that require more complex sequential movements; however, ADL more dependent on fitness may be better addressed using a TRAD intervention. These results can be helpful when designing a periodized aquatic training program to increase independence in older persons. Advisors/Committee Members: Joseph F. Signorile, Arlette Perry, Wesley Smith, Bernard A. Roos.

▼ Fibromyalgia (FM) is a pain disorder that involves a variety of symptoms including painful joints, fatigue, muscle stiffness, and sleep disturbances. Cognitive symptoms are also a hallmark of FM, which result in difficulties with thought articulation, concentration, and mental fatigue. There is a gap in research substantiating increased levels of sensory defensiveness symptoms in individuals with FM and the effects in daily life. Currently, only one research study has provided evidence of increased sensory sensitivity across multiple modalities in individuals with FM. The purpose of this research was to determine whether women with FM had increased levels of sensory defensiveness in daily life when compared to pain free age matched women. This research also examined whether women with FM had decreased quality of life (QOL) and participation in daily occupations. Lastly, this study investigated if there was a relationship between sensory defensiveness, participation in typical patterns of daily activities, and QOL. This study was a quantitative, multi-group, quasi-experimental comparison design. Participants were recruited from South Central Wisconsin and Northern California. A total of 20 women participated in the study, 11 in the control group and 9 in the FM group. The data was collected through the following three distinct questionnaires and one activity: Medical Outcome Survey-Short Form 36 (SF-36), Adult/Adolescent Sensory Profile (AASP), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and the Activity Card Sort (ACS). Data was analyzed using two-tailed t-Test and Pearson's r Correlations. Women in the FM group reported significantly more symptoms for sensory defensiveness and participation in fewer daily activities than the control group. Women with FM reported decreased QOL when compared to the control group. Symptoms of sensory defensiveness were moderately, but not significantly, correlated with participation in daily activities. Increased symptoms of sensory defensiveness were strongly correlated with reports of poorer mental health scores in women with FM. Advisors/Committee Members: Julia Wilbarger, PhD, OTR/L.

▼ Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) account for more than 4.5 million physician visits annually in the United States and are a primary source of shoulder pain and dysfunction. Approximately 250,000 rotator cuff repair surgeries are performed each year, and the success rate of repair is variable with 20% to 65% resulting in a re-tear. RCT is a tear of one or more of the rotator cuff tendons (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis). While the tear is often considered to be an injury to the tendons, and is consequently treated as such, there is evidence that the structural and mechanical properties of the injured rotator cuff tendons, remaining intact tendons and glenoid cartilage are affected by RCTs. However, despite the fact that glenohumeral (GH) capsule is a primary passive stabilizer of the shoulder joint, the biomechanical consequences of RCTs on the GH capsule have not been well defined. Further, the kinematics of the normal shoulder joint have been shown to be different than that of a shoulder with an RCT, indicating a possible change in the loading condition of the shoulder. Together, the changes in kinematics of the shoulder after RCT and alteration in shoulder stability may contribute to the poor success rate associated with RCT repairs. It is therefore important to know how the changes in kinematics due to RCTs affect the mechanical state of the GH capsule and its contribution to shoulder joint function and stability. The objective of this in vitro study was to (1) quantify the strain distributions of the GH capsule for two functional tasks (forward reach and functional pull), and (2) identify how this strain distribution is affected by RCTs. To perform the biomechanical testing, a 6 degree-of-freedom actuator was developed from a 5-axis computer numerical control (CNC) machine to replicate shoulder motion in cadaveric specimens. The human shoulder joint (humerus-capsule-scapula, n=5) was mounted into the CNC machine and the kinematics of four tasks was replicated: forward reach and functional pull from subjects without an RCT (controls), and the same two tasks from subjects with an RCT. Gleonhumeral capsule strain was measured using digital image correlation by applying a random speckle pattern on the anterior and posterior regions of the GH capsule. High-speed camera images of the capsule were recorded during the experiments, and processed to calculate the dynamic strain along the medial-lateral and superior inferior directions. For both healthy forward reach and functional pull, the strain distributions were inhomogeneous throughout the capsule and the peak strain occurred at the most extreme position of the task. During forward reach, the peak strain (0.610 +/ 0.177) occurred near the fully extended reach position (44% of cycle) while it occurred at the end of the functional pull (0.416 +/ 0.157, 49% of cycle). For both tasks, the peak strain was most often found at either the humeral or glenoid insertion. Both anterior and posterior sides of the capsule were under the biaxial tension… Advisors/Committee Members: Kersh, Mariana (advisor), Kersh, Mariana (Committee Chair), Wagoner Johnson, Amy J.

▼ The increasing population of elderly people has been one of the characteristics of this moderncentury. This ever-increasing population of elderly people is predicted to outnumber thepopulation of youths and caregivers in a few years’ time. Old age is mostly associated with anumber of problems like memory issues, cognitive disabilities, disorganized behavior and manymore, quite often leading to Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and other forms of disabilitieswhich cause problems for elderly people to accomplish their daily routine activities.This increased need for healthcare and daily care services that is associated with old age, causesa huge burden on the world economy to sustain and meet the needs of elderly people worldwide.To ensure that these varying needs of elderly people arising from their differing diversities aremet, and they have a better quality of life, it is essential for modern day technologies to adaptaccording to the specific needs of individual users and develop an assisted living environmentthat can improve both physical and mental wellbeing and foster independent living of olderadults in the context of their day to day goals and tasks.The integration of Affect Aware Technologies with Activity Centric Computing in the contextof Human-Computer Interaction and Internet of Things (IoT)-based technologies holdsimmense potential to act as a long-term solution to address these ever-increasing needs forelderly care. This serves as the primary interest for this research work. In this work, aFramework for a Context Aware Adaptive Intelligent Assistant for Activities of Daily Living(ADLs) has been proposed. This framework integrates methodologies for complex activity recognition, user performance augmentation for respective activities and complex activityrecommendation, based on the users affective state and daily routine. The ability of thisframework to adapt according to the dynamic needs of specific users and help them have betteruser experiences in the context of ADLs is aimed to address the above-mentioned needs ofelderly care and contribute towards healthy aging in place to sustain and foster an improvedquality of life for older adults in the context of their day to day goals.This proposed framework has been tested on 21 different complex activities from three differentuser interaction datasets and the results are presented and discussed. A comparative study isalso included that discusses the superiority of this framework for modelling “specific users”over the traditional approaches of designing systems for “average users” - which quite oftenfail to address the varying needs of specific users arising from universal diversity.The results presented in this work discuss the ability of this Proposed Adaptive IntelligentAssistant to act in a personalized manner and help elderly people perform ADLs in the contextof a smart and connected IoT-based environment with a high degree of accuracy and reliability.Several potential applications of this framework are also discussed which uphold the relevancefor… Advisors/Committee Members: Han, Chia (Committee Chair).

▼ Background: Existing homelessness research focuses on psychological and social aspects of this experience. There is limited literature focusing on the daily occupations of those who are chronically homeless, and particularly during the transition to becoming housed. Purpose: This research was carried out in 3 Phases. Phase I aimed to synthesize the current literature contributing to an understanding of occupational transition during the process of becoming housed among homeless persons. Phase II aimed to develop an understanding of the experience of occupational engagement of chronically homeless persons in a medium-sized city in Ontario, Canada. Phase III aimed to develop an enhanced understanding of the experience of occupational engagement of chronically homeless persons as they made the transition to becoming housed. Method: Phase I used a scoping review methodology (Arksey & O’Malley, 2005) to explore existing literature contributing to an understanding of occupational transition during an exit from homelessness. Interpretive phenomenology guided Phases II and III, which involved gathering data through semi-structured interviews with 12 participants who were chronically homeless (Phase II), and 11 participants with a history of chronic homelessness who had recently become housed (Phase III). Data collected in Phases II & III were analyzed using a modified version of the method suggested by Colaizzi (1978). Results: Phase I uncovered the relative paucity of literature focusing on the occupations of homeless persons as they exit homelessness. Phase II identified the unique occupational experiences of chronically homeless persons in a medium-sized city. Chronically homeless persons experienced occupational alienation caused by a lack of participation in mainstream society, and a deep and pervasive boredom that adversely influenced their mental health and drove substance misuse. Phase III identified that as participants transitioned to becoming housed, slow changes in their occupational repertoire positively influenced their mental health and well-being. Implications: Taking a broad view of the occupations of chronically homeless persons reveals several unique aspects of their experiences that can inform interventions designed to support this population as they exit homelessness. Incorporating an occupational approach in concert with a housing first philosophy may lead to a more comprehensive strategy to addressing chronic homelessness.

▼ From the contextual perspective of dementia care, affective or behavioral changes associated with degenerative dementias can be prevented or reduced by a) orienting caregivers to the care recipients' performance deficits, b) training individually tailored strategies for effective communication, and c) promoting caregivers' understanding of the functions of the care recipients' behaviors. This study examined the contextual model. Phase 1 compared the performance predictions of 12 caregivers with actual care recipient performance and assistance provided by the caregiver. Phase 2 implemented a brief, three-session intervention on caregiver-reported behavioral problems within a multiple baseline design with three caregiver-care recipient dyads. In addition to the effects of the intervention on the target behaviors, potentially correlated changes in the quality of caregiver-care recipient interactions and in the degree of assistance provided were also monitored. The results of this study suggest that caregivers tend to overestimate the care recipients' performance and that, when caregivers contact the care recipients' deficits, caregivers provide more assistance than needed. The ratios of positive-to-negative dyadic interactions in the task demand situation were similar to those found with highly distressed couples in the couples therapy literature. In Phase 2, the contextual interventions implemented by the caregivers decreased the targeted behaviors (arguing, spending time unsupervised, and driving). Over the course of the study, caregivers adjusted their expectations of the care recipients' abilities to be more congruent with actual performance; however, more accurate expectations were not accompanied by more effective helping in a task demand situation. Although the ratio of positive-to-negative interactions increased for all participants, it remained low. Results are discussed in terms of the heterogeneity of this community-dwelling sample, attrition related to undetected medical illness, the benefits of individualized assessment and intervention, and domain-specificity of treatment effects. While targeted interventions on problematic behaviors are effective, the results point out a need for specialized caregiver training with guided practice in compensatory and relationship-maintaining strategies, to generally promote more positive interactions, decrease ongoing interpersonal strain, and address caregivers' idiosyncratic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in response to the care recipients' progressive loss of repertoires as potential barriers to effective care.

Contexto e objetivo do estudo: O envelhecimento pode ser entendido como um processo dinâmico e progressivo, caracterizado por alterações morfológicas, funcionais, bioquímicas e psicológicas. As alterações manifestam-se pelo declínio das funções dos diversos órgãos, associado à prevalência de doenças crónicas e incapacitantes que leva a uma diminuição da capacidade funcional e perda de independência, responsáveis por uma baixa perceção da qualidade de vida (Direcção-Geral da Saúde, 2004), procurou-se fazer um estudo das relações entre a funcionalidade e a rede social. A presente dissertação tem como principal objetivo estudar a relação entre a funcionalidade nas atividades de vida diária e a rede social de idosos em contexto de centro de dia e de universidade sénior, tendo em conta diferentes variáveis, como por exemplo, sexo, idade, profissão, rendimentos etc. Método: Este trabalho caracteriza-se por ser um estudo de natureza predominantemente quantitativa, descritivo e correlacional. Foi utlizada uma amostra de 54 idosos, dos quais 27 idosos de Centro de Dia e 27 da Universidade Sénior As idades estão compreendidas entre os 65 e 94 anos. A recolha de dados foi realizada com recurso aos seguintes instrumentos: Ficha Sociodemográfica, Índice de Barthel, Índice Lawton-Brody e Escala Breve de Redes Sociais de Lubben ( LSNS-6). Resultados e Conclusão: As evidências revelaram que os inquiridos na sua maioria se apresentam independentes quanto à sua funcionalidade nas atividades básicas da vida diária. Verificamos também que a rede social dos inquiridos é constituída fundamentalmente por familiares e amigos. Sendo que os familiares são os que maior apoio prestam. Relativamente à relação entre a funcionalidade e a rede social, constatamos que um menor risco de isolamento social está associado a uma melhor funcionalidade das atividades básicas e instrumentais. Os resultados mostraram, de uma forma geral, que estão em conformidade com outros estudos neste âmbito. No que se refere à funcionalidade, verifica-se ainda que os idosos da universidade sénior mostram-se mais independentes quanto as atividades básicas e instrumentais. Na rede social, não se verifica diferenças em função do sexo dos inquiridos. Constata-se a existência de um maior risco de isolamento social por parte dos idosos do Centro de Dia.

Context and objective of the study: Aging can be understood as a dynamic and progressive process, characterized by morphological, functional, biochemical and psychologic changes. The changes are manifested by the decline of the functions of the various organs, associated with the prevalence of chronic diseases and disabling that leads to a reduction in functional capacity and loss of independence, responsible for a lack of low quality of life (Directorate-General for health .2004), we sought to make a study of the relations between the functionality and the social network.

▼ O Activities daily living questionnaire - ADLQ foi elaborado para avaliar atividades básicas e instrumentais em pacientes com a doença de Alzheimer. O objetivo principal deste estudo consistiu em realizar a tradução do ADLQ para a língua portuguesa, adaptação transcultural e análise das suas propriedades psicométricas. A amostra foi composta por 60 pacientes e os respectivos 60 cuidadores. O estudo iniciou-se com a tradução do instrumento pela técnica de retrotradução associada ao método bilíngüe. A versão traduzida foi respondida pelo cuidador e o Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) aplicado ao paciente. A análise psicométrica foi realizada através da validade das medidas do instrumento. Os resultados verificaram uma correlação inversamente significativa (r=-0,793;p<0,05) entre os instrumentos avaliados, com uma explicação da variância total de 62%. A coerência interna do instrumento foi realizada através da correlação com os resultados do MEEM sugerindo uma versão condensada do ADLQ. Avaliando-se através do teste t para amostras correlacionadas, as médias do ADLQ-versão traduzida e versão condensada não apresentaram diferenças significativas, demonstrado assim que a simplificação do instrumento não alterou os valores do nível de dependência funcional observados. A análise fatorial realizada através da rotação Varimax indicou seis dimensões. Atividades como; comer, vestir-se, banho, necessidades fisiológicas, tomar comprimidos, participação em grupos, administrar finanças, manusear dinheiro, locomover pela vizinhança, usar telefone, compreensão, dentre outras, são os mais importantes preditores da capacidade funcional, no grupo estudado. Atividades com desempenho pouco comum a ambos os sexos, e no desempenho de papéis sociais enquanto gênero na sociedade brasileira (afazeres domésticos, consertos e manutenção em casa), na amostra estudada, não demonstraram ter importância na determinação da capacidade funcional com o paciente com a Doença de Alzheimer. O presente estudo disponibiliza uma nova ferramenta de avaliação funcional, visando contribuir para a mensuração mais cuidadosa do estado funcional do paciente por todos os profissionais da área da saúde Advisors/Committee Members: João Carlos Alchieri, Rosângela Corrêa Dias, Ricardo Oliveira Guerra.
