D.Phil.

Asthma exemplifies a major medical concern and is a considerable cause of morbidity and mortality globally and in South Africa. Biokineticists have in the past primarily prescribed aerobic modes of exercise to asthmatics regardless of other modes of exercise that could be used in the management of asthma, each with their own unique benefits. The aim of this investigation was to develop a management model from a biokinetic perspective for the management of asthma in moderate, persistent asthmatics. The present study utilised a quantitative, comparative, research trial making use of a pre-test, eight-week intervention period and a post-test. Eighty-eight sedentary moderate, persistent asthmatics were matched by age and gender and randomly assigned to either a non-exercising control group (NE) (n = 22), an aerobic exercise group (AE) (n = 22), a diaphragmatic inspiratory resistive breathing group (DR) (n = 22) or an aerobic exercise combined with diaphragmatic resistive breathing group (CE) (n = 22). Dependent t-Tests and rank-ordered analyses revealed that five of the 13 pulmonary function parameters assessed were found to be significantly altered following the AE and CE training, with the CE training having a larger impact than AE training. The DR training resulted in improvements in four of the 13 pulmonary function parameters. The CE and AE training were also found to be equally effective at altering physical work capacity, while the DR training proved ineffective at altering physical work capacity. The CE training proved to be the most effective at improving the abdominal and chest wall excursion parameters. The DR training was found to be the least effective mode of exercise training to impact favourably on abdominal and chest wall excursion parameters. The DR and CE training had a similar significant and favourable change in respiratory muscle flexibility followed by the AE training only impacting on nine of the 11 respiratory muscle flexibility parameters. Regarding the respiratory muscle strength, despite AE and CE training altering 18 of the 20 parameters, CE training was found to be more effective. DR training only altered 16 of the 20 respiratory muscle strength parameters. The DR training was the only modality to alter a postural parameter, albeit unfavourably. Even though the DR and AE training significantly altered four of the six anthropometric parameters, the AE training proved to be superior, while CE training proved least effective as it altered v only three of the measured anthropometric parameters. The overall success of the CE training exemplified the fact that an optimal training regime for the management of asthma may require both an aerobic exercise and diaphragmatic inspiratory resistive breathing component. Exercise training, and specifically CE training is a cost-effective, home-based asthma management programme that may reduce the public health burden of this disease and provide the patient with alternative treatment options. CE training should form the cornerstone in the…

▼ The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a twelve-week hydrotherapy group exercise programme on selected health-related fitness variables in older women with type II diabetes mellitus. This study included the testing of blood glucose levels, blood anthropometrical profile, body mass, height, body mass index, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, upper body flexibility, lower body flexibility, grip strength, upper body and lower body muscular strength and endurance as well as aerobic endurance. Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used for this study utilising a quasiexperimental research design. A comparison group pre-test and post-test experimental design was employed at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Biokinetics and Sports Science Unit. Approximately 16 senior female participants took part in the study. Participants were identified through convenience sampling and snowball sampling, of which, all the participants were clinically diagnosed with type II diabetes mellitus and had completed the study. The hydrotherapy participants (experimental group), took part in water-based (hydrotherapy) exercises three times a week for a period of twelve weeks. The hydrotherapy exercises began with a light half-hour workout per session and were progressively increased in intensity, duration, and number of the exercises performed. The participants not participating in the hydrotherapy exercises (control group) were instructed to remain sedentary throughout the duration of the intervention period. The dependant variables were gathered as raw data and analysed using descriptive statistics to form the means, standard deviations, medians, minimum and maximum values. Post hoc analysis was performed to determine whether differences existed between the experimental group and control group. Cohen’s D test was used to determine pre- and post-test differences for both groups to determine practical significance. An analysis of the results revealed significant improvements in some of the selected health and physical fitness parameters such as, upper body and lower body flexibility, upper and lower body muscular strength and endurance, as well as aerobic endurance. iii The aim and objectives of the study in exploring the effect of hydrotherapy as an intervention strategy to promote health and physical fitness in persons with type II diabetes mellitus were supported by the data collected in the pre-test and post-test analyses of the variables.

▼ The overarching aim of this thesis was to examine factors that affect post-exercise glycaemia and contribute to minimising the risk of hypoglycaemia after exercise. An inability to regulate circulating insulin concentrations is considered the primary gluco-regulatory defect within T1DM. Therefore, the aim of chapter 3 was to examine the effects of pre-exercise rapid-acting insulin reductions on blood glucose responses before and after running in T1DM individuals, to test the hypothesis that reducing pre-exercise insulin dose may help preserve post-exercise glycaemia. The results demonstrate that a 75% reduction to pre-exercise rapidacing insulin dose best preserved blood glucose before and after exercise, without increasing the risk of ketoacidosis, and reduced the risk of hypoglycaemia in free living conditions for 24 hours following running. An important factor determining blood glucose concentrations and subsequent patterns of fuel oxidation is the rate of appearance of carbohydrate into the circulation. Potentially, low GI carbohydrates may raise blood glucose less and increase the percentage contribution of lipids as a fuel because of a slower digestion. Therefore, the aim of chapter 4 was to examine the metabolic and blood glucose responses to ingestion of a high or low GI carbohydrate, combined with a 75% reduced insulin dose, before, during and for 24 hours after running. The results demonstrate that compared to a high GI carbohydrate, the low GI carbohydrate increased blood glucose concentrations less before exercise and maintained blood glucose better for 24 hours after running, via lower carbohydrate and higher lipid oxidation rates during the latter stages of running. After manipulating both the insulin dose and the pre-exercise carbohydrate GI, to improve post-exercise blood glucose concentrations, the timing of the ingestion of carbohydrate (alongside a reduced insulin dose) before exercise is an important factor which may further refine these strategies. Therefore, chapter 5 examined the metabolic and blood glucose responses to alterations in the timing of carbohydrate feeding and insulin administration prior to running. Our results demonstrated that administration of both a reduced rapid-acting insulin dose and low GI carbohydrate 30 minutes before exercise improved glycaemia for 24 hours after running, by reductions in carbohydrate oxidation, leading to increased carbohydrate availability post-exercise.

▼ The impact of acute resistance exercise (RE) on glycaemia in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) individuals is poorly understood. Yet, such knowledge would have great use in improving our understanding of blood glucose control during and after the performance of RE. Increasing research in this area might help minimise complications associated with blood glucose vulnerability and potentially maximise health benefits related to RE which are known to be obtained by people without diabetes. The overarching aim of this thesis was to examine the impact of acute RE on glycaemia in T1DM individuals, and promote confidence in people with T1DM to partake in this form of exercise and lead a more physically active lifestyle. Exercise volume, or the total weight lifted during a RE session, is a primary component in the design of a RE session. Therefore, Chapter 3 examined the acute impact of manipulating RE session volume in T1DM individuals. The results demonstrate that exercise volume is an important factor in determining the blood glucose responses to RE; specifically, blood glucose concentrations rose above rest for one hour after one and two sets of similar intensity RE, but this exercise-induced hyperglycaemia was attenuated by increasing the volume of exercise by addition of a similar intensity third set of RE. Additionally, performing morning RE after an overnight fast and in the absence of rapid-acting insulin, did not induce acute hypoglycaemia, ketoacidosis or raise a marker of muscle damage, but caused metabolic acidosis in a dose-dependent fashion. Exercise intensity is a characteristic that is integral to the design of a RE session, and this characteristic might play a role in explaining the exercise-induced hyperglycaemia caused by the thirty minute (two-set) RE sessions in Chapter 3. The aim of Chapter 4 was to examine the impact of manipulating exercise intensity in T1DM individuals. The findings from this study demonstrate that performing a low intensity RE session evoked a similar magnitude of post-exercise hyperglycaemia and metabolic acidosis than a higher intensity RE session, when sessions were matched for total weight lifted. In an attempt to alleviate the consistent exercise-induced hyperglycaemia presented by the two-set RE session, the aim of Chapter 5 was to implement a modified algorithm that delivers an individualized dose of rapid-acting insulin after morning RE, to counter acute post-exercise hyperglycaemia in T1DM individuals. The results demonstrate that post-exercise rapid-acting insulin injection delivered by means of an algorithm resulted in reductions to post-RE hyperglycaemia without the occurrence of hypoglycaemia during two hours after exercise. However, during the subsequent twenty hours of freely living conditions, T1DM individuals remained unprotected from post-exercise hypoglycaemia as per a control condition. Overall, the findings of this thesis underpin some important factors that determine the glycaemic and metabolic responses to acute performance of RE, which may facilitate the better…

▼ Insulin resistance is a precursor to type II diabetes mellitus and in conjunction with dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and obesity, these abnormalities constitute the metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance usually develops before these other diseases and therefore identifying and successfully treating insulin resistant patients may have potentially great preventive value. Insulin resistance, obesity, and subsequently type II diabetes mellitus have increased dramatically and have reached epidemic proportions. The incidence of diabetes, and in particular type II diabetes mellitus, is increasing in developing countries and throughout the world and this is mainly as a result of increasingly sedentary lifestyle and obesity in an aging population. The specific aim of this study was to explore and describe the effect of a 14-week strength-based resistance training programme on insulin resistance amongst individuals aged 25 to 68 years, who are pre-diabetic, have T2DM, and/or are overweight. The research approach used in this investigation was explorative, experimental, and quantitative in nature. The quasi-experimental design consisted of a pre-test and post-test for an experimental and comparison group who were chosen through convenience and snowball sampling. A total of 30 participants were involved in this study, 15 participants in each group. The following dependent variables were selected, namely: body weight; BMI; body composition; waist-to-hip ratio; total cholesterol levels; triglyceride levels; HOMA-IR; and muscle strength for upper and lower body. Pre-and post-test analysis was performed at the Biokinetics and Sport Science Unit, located at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU). Blood samples of the participants were drawn by nurses at the Health Clinic at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University and these blood plasma samples were stored at the Department of Microbiology and Biochemistry at NMMU for later analysis of glucose and insulin. The experimental group trained three times per week for a period of fourteen weeks, performing strength training exercises with progressive increments in the intensity of the exercise. The control group remained sedentary throughout the intervention period. Analysis of the data was conducted utilizing descriptive and inferential statistics. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used as a hypothesis-testing procedure to evaluate the mean differences. The following dependent variables showed a decrease in mean values: body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, waist minimum, cholesterol and insulin. However these differences in results were not practically and statistically significant. The following dependent variables showed an increase in mean values: hip maximum, arm relaxed, arm flexed, thigh circumference, glucose and HOMA-IR. However these results were not practically and statistically significant. The mean differences in the plasma insulin level, pre- to post-test, between both groups indicated that a significant difference (t = -1.77, p = 0.044) existed… Advisors/Committee Members: Olivier, P E Dr, Du Randt, R Prof.

▼ Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease causing bronchospasm, which leads to the sensation of shortness of breath. Children with asthma are often afraid of exercise because the exercise induced exacerbation which gives children a sense of breathlessness. As a result, they usually have a sedentary lifestyle that decreases their physical fitness. However, there is evidence supporting the claim that exercises do not induce exacerbation, and exercise should be encouraged to asthmatic children to improve their physical fitness. In Hong Kong, protocol for exercise training with asthmatic children is limited. This is unfortunate because recent studies have shown that exercise training has improved the physical fitness of asthmatic children. This present studies used databases included PubMed (from 1950 to 2012), Ovid MEDLINE® (from 1950 to 2012), CINAHL (from 1982 to 2012), and ProQuest (from 1999 to 2012), to identify significant research on the topic. Eight studies, including seven RCTs and one cohort study, were chosen for in depth review. They were all good quality studies with satisfactory results that identified improvement in physical fitness for mild to moderate asthmatic children after exercise training. This present studies proposed an exercise training program for a pediatric ward in a public hospital in Hong Kong. The target population is children, aged 7 to 17, who suffer from mild to moderate asthma. They will enroll in an exercise training program to perform cycling in a clinical setting three times per week. The program will be sustained for nine weeks. The participants will undergo the innovation under the supervision of trained nurses. Evidence-based protocol is developed for the innovation to guide nurses on how to carry out the exercise training effectively and smoothly. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) grading system is adopted to measure the levels of evidence and grading of the recommendations in the protocol. A communication plan will be developed to gain support from the identified stakeholders. A pilot study plan will be established in order to determine the feasibility of the proposed innovation. The exercise stress test, which is the primary outcome of the innovation, will be measured in the pilot study. Knowledge, job satisfaction, and confidence level of staff will be evaluated. The effectiveness of the innovation will be evaluated based improvements as measured by lung function, exercise stress and quality of life of the asthmatic children after exercise training. It will also consider nurse competency in carrying out the exercise training program. In the pediatric ward of a public hospital, mild to moderate asthmatic children are going to perform cycling under close monitoring and supervision. The proposed clinical setting for exercise program is intentional. Its relax atmosphere may encourage asthmatic children to do more exercises even after the training program. The researcher identifies transferable elements in the innovation, including…

▼ Aging is associated with decreased muscle strength, power, and contraction velocity, and increased fatigability of the lower limb muscles during dynamic contractions. The aims of this thesis were to compare young in and old men and women in: (1) fatigability of the knee extensors for two types of dynamic fatiguing protocols that are the basis of resistance training protocols, and (2) the central and peripheral mechanisms of fatigue during the two types of dynamic fatiguing protocols. Twenty young (19-24, 22.2 ± 1.3 years, men = 10) and twenty old adults (64-85, 73.8 ± 5.4, men = 10) performed: two different resistance training protocols, one high load high velocity protocol (HLP) and one low load low velocity protocol (LLP), each completing 4 sets of 8 repetitions. Before and after each protocol, the following were assessed: voluntary activation using muscle stimulation and the interpolated twitch technique as a measure of central fatigue, and contractile properties evoked with electrical stimulation as a measure of peripheral fatigue. The LLP of the knee extensor muscles induced greater reductions in isometric force than the HLP (P < 0.05) (21% vs. 12% reduction) across all four exercise sets, resulting in greater fatigability for the LLP. A more rapid recovery of MVIC force for the young adults compared to the old was observed (P < 0.05). The LLP also showed a greater reduction in the rate of force development than the HLP (P < 0.05). The reduction in MVIC force was associated with the reductions in twitch amplitude (r² = 0.368, P < 0.001) and voluntary activation (r2 = 0.209, P < 0.05) for the LLP but not the HLP (P > 0.05). The LLP protocol induced greater fatigability of the knee extensor muscles than the HLP, evidenced by greater reductions in MVIC. Muscular mechanisms were the primary contributor to the differences with a smaller contribution from neural mechanisms. Advisors/Committee Members: Hunter, Sandra K., Bement, Marie, Ng, Alexander.

D.Phil.

Chronic pain is a devastating problem and one of the leading causes of disability internationally with an estimated 25-30% of people in industrialised nations suffering from it. Various approaches are available for the treatment of chronic pain with exercise therapy is often the last resort, after all else has failed. The present study was motivated by the growing prevalence of chronic pain patients and the recent progress in pain science. This study made use of a quasi-experimental design where randomization was a function of participant convenience. It made use of a Pre-Test Post-Test battery consisting both of self-report questionnaires and of a physical assessment evaluating components of chronic pain patients’ experience prior to and following a combined therapeutic intervention programme of 12 sessions. Follow- up was at 12 months. The objectives were to integrate patient reconceptualization of pain by means of an active approach combining pain education and exercise therapy, and to determine the effect of a change in pain cognition on the outcome compared to a control group receiving exercise therapy only. A heterogeneous group of chronic pain patients were randomized into 2 groups who both received exercise therapy twice per week: the experimental group (80) received exercise therapy and a specific 3 hour pain education session with the active control group (74) only receiving exercise therapy. There were no differences in pain related or demographic characteristics between groups at baseline. Both groups had a significant reduction in pain perception after 12 exercise therapy sessions (P<0.05). After a follow up period of 12 months the experimental group sustained the same level of pain reduction (P<0.05). The control group maintained only some the acquired reduction in pain perception. In the experimental group an increased participation in physical activity was also found 12 months after the intervention. Exercise therapy significantly reduces the perception of pain in chronic pain patients after 12 therapy sessions, but the combination of pain education and exercise therapy better maintain these effects after a year. Key Words: chronic pain, exercise, pain education.

▼ Purpose: While benefits of exercise after a cardiac event are well documented, participation in and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs is often low. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of a self- efficacy coaching intervention (SCI): a simple theory-based behavioral intervention to increase self-efficacy for independent exercise as well as independent exercise behavior in CR patients. It was hypothesized that persons receiving the SCI treatment (T) would have higher levels of self-efficacy for exercise and greater participation in independent exercise than participants in an attention control (C) group. Methods: People referred to a hospitalbased CR program by their physician were invited to participate in the study (N = 65). Participants were assigned to either T or C groups which had been randomly designated by class time. The SCI was administered approximately every two weeks by CR staff as a supplement to standard CR care. Patients in the T group received coaching about independent exercise, patients in the C group received coaching matched for time and technique but covering information about healthy eating. Self-efficacy for independent exercise was assessed at the beginning and end of the supervised CR program with an Exercise Self-Efficacy (ESE) scale and a Barriers Self-Efficacy (BARSE) scale. Participation in independent exercise was determined by self- report with activity logs. Outcome differences between T and C groups were analyzed through one-way ANOVA. Results: Mean change scores for the T group were larger than those seen in the C group, but differences between groups were not statistically significant (p > .10). Significant difference between change scores for ESE, BARSE and independent exercise were noted when interaction effects between SCI treatment and previous exercise were considered. Conclusions: This study adds to the limited body of knowledge about theory-based interventions in cardiac rehabilitation programs and takes an important step in translating self-efficacy theory into a simple, practical application that will promote maintenance of lifestyle changes in this population.

All patients were diagnosed with classical depression and they received treatment at the Depression Division of Mariu Hospital, a subdivision of Public Institution Kaunas Hospital. In both groups, the functional status of the patients was assessed and the level of depression was determined using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D). Furthermore, the research group completed a questionnaire designed to assess their psycho-emotional state. The patients of the research group were enrolled on a physical therapy programme consisting of general training, loosening exercises, and mobile games/exercises to stabilize the spinal muscles. Conclusions: 1. Physical therapy had no impact on changes in the patients' functional status: the changes in the heart rate and arterial blood pressure were not statistically significant (p>0,05). 2. Physical therapy affected the subjective assessment of the patients' condition:... [to full text]

▼ ABSTRACT Aim: This study compares the effect of a combination of an exercise program and splinting with splinting alone on pain and activities in daily life (ADL) in patients osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb base joint (CMC-1). Furthermore, this study investigates predictors for outcomes on pain and ADL in order to optimize healthcare for individual patients with CMC-1 OA. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in eleven outpatient clinics for hand surgery and hand therapy in the Netherlands. A combination of an exercise program and splinting was compared with splinting alone using propensity score matching (PSM). Primary outcomes included pain and ADL at three months, measured with a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Michigan Hand outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ). Linear mixed model analysis was used to study between-group differences and multiple regression analysis on baseline characteristics for the total exercise program group was used in order to identify predictors for outcome. Results: In total, 107 participants were included, of which 44 were matched using PSM. A larger decrease in VAS pain during physical load was found in the exercise program group (35 points) compared to the splint group (19.5 points, p=0.012). Outcomes on the MHQ score showed no clinically relevant differences. Treatment of the dominant side, higher flexion of the first metacarpophalangeal joint, higher age and type of work with heavy physical labor predicted outcomes on pain or ADL for the total exercise program group (N=85). Conclusion: Superior results were found for the exercise program group when compared to the splint group, indicating positive effects of an exercise program. Furthermore, several predictors for outcomes on splinting combined with an exercise program were identified. Future research should study exercise programs and predictors of outcome in a larger sample and a more standardized setting. Clinical Relevance: Applying exercise programs in clinical practice appears to be beneficial for individual patients with CMC-1 OA. Dutch Trial Register Trial ID: NTR5627.

Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Technology: Clinical Technology, Durban University of Technology, 2009.

Exercise assessment, counseling and training are not widely offered to patients with chronic kidney disease. Haemodialysis patient’s participation in exercise and an adequate assessment of exercise effects on haemodialysis outcome are needed so that more interventions can be developed to improve the well being of those patients with chronic kidney disease. Exercise is not routinely advocated in patients with end-stage renal disease receiving maintenance haemodialysis. Lack of widespread awareness of exercise in haemodialysis literature may be contributing to these shortcomings in clinical practice. Purpose of the study This study was aimed to establish the effect of exercise during haemodialysis on pedal oedema and solute removal. This is the first time that such a study was undertaken in dialysis units in South Africa. Methodolgy In a quasi-experimental design, thirty-four end-stage renal failure patients on three times weekly haemodialysis program from Bloemfontein and Newcastle MediClinic Renal Units participation in the study. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from Durban University of Technology Ethics Committee. Seventeen patients were in the intervention group (aged between 25 and 60) and seventeen in the control group (aged between 18 and 60). The intervention group did not exercise for the first three months of the study in order to establish a baseline period. Thereafter, exercising took place from the fourth to the ninth month. Patients pedaled on an exercise cushion for fifteen minutes every hour to achieve a total of sixty minutes of exercise over a four-hour dialysis session. Patients in the control group did not pedal on the exercise cushion during the nine-month study period. Pre and post haemodialysis measurements of creatinine, urea and potassium using the Alkaline Picrate, Urease and Ion Selective Electrode methods respectively were done for each patient monthly over the nine month period. Oedema of the lower limb was evaluated by measuring the right and left ankle circumference, in centimeters before and after dialysis. Urea Kt/V was also measured before and after haemodialysis for each patient over the study period. Results Statistical analysis of results showed a significant 30% reduction in urea levels and a 46% reduction in creatinine levels in the intervention group at the end of the nine month period, a 12% reduction in the potassium levels in the intervention group which was 4% more than the control group. The urea Kt/V in the intervention group showed a 9% greater reduction than the control group. There was a significant improvement in oedema of 45% of the right ankle for the first three months of exercise and thereafter there was a an increase in ankle size in the last three months which was a 13% reduction in oedema compared to baseline. There was a significant improvement in oedema of 60% of the left…

▼ Physical inactivity has been widely regarded as a leading cause of non-communicable chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension. Physical activity (PA) has been shown to be the most effective self-care behaviour in alleviating T2DM, an incurable chronic disease. Previous behavioural modification programs intended to encourage and maintain PA behaviour among middle-aged and older patients with T2DM have had inconsistent results. PA has remained as a recommended diabetes self-care behaviour with the lowest compliance rate in many regions of the world. This thesis proposes a program focusing on health literacy (HL) as a means to nurture T2DM patients’ ability to navigate, read, understand, process, comprehend and act on health information, and thereby modify PA behaviour. This approach is proposed for three reasons: (1) the flood of available health information of varying quality affects patients’ decision making with regard to self-care behaviour; (2) the high prevalence of low HL in the US, Europe, and Asia affects the comprehension of self-care behaviour programs; (3) because 50% of older T2DM patients are impaired cognitively due to the impact of aging and hence have difficulty in carrying out suitable self-care behaviour without proper guidance. All of these factors can influence the effectiveness of PA behavioural modification programs designed to help middle-aged and older T2DM patients make self-care decisions based on sound health information according to their level of HL. This thesis reviews existing HL-oriented programs and models and validates the instrument used to examine the effects of a culture-, language-, disease- and age-specific, theory-based, HL-oriented program on PA behaviour among middle-aged and older patients with T2DM. In the study, 324 middle-aged and older Chinese T2DM patients recruited from two hospital diabetes centres in Hong Kong were divided randomly into intervention and control groups. The intervention group participated in an HL-oriented program on PA behaviour. The program significantly improved the mean of PA behaviour of patients in the intervention group from a sedentary level (under 1,000 average Metabolic Equivalents/minutes/week; 4463 mean number of steps per week) to an internationally acceptable standard (over 2,000 average METs-minutes/week; 7459 mean number of steps per week), and this improvement was maintained at three- and six-month follow-ups. The PA behaviour of the control group actually subsided. This study showed that a program addressing and nurturing patients’ ability to explore, understand and manage health information on T2DM and PA was effective in improving the PA behaviour of middle-aged and older adults with T2DM. This thesis is the first study to use objective measurements to evaluate the effect of a culture-, language-, disease- and age-specific, theory-based, HL-oriented program on PA behaviour. It extends the generalizability of culture and language-sensitive HL oriented programming from the United States (where…

▼ Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint and health problem in Hong Kong, particularly among middle-aged individuals. LBP is the main cause of chronic disability which significantly affects the daily life activities of patients. Pain might result in repeated hospital admissions and subsequently increase the burden on health care providers in Hong Kong. LBP has an enormous effect on quality of life and therefore deserves research attention. Growing evidence shows that yoga may help reduce the level of chronic LBP in adult patients. However, no systematic review has been conducted to support the translation of this theory into practice. Therefore, this thesis aims to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of yoga in reducing chronic LBP among adult patients to achieve the following objectives: formulate an evidence-based protocol on yoga practice, assess the implementation potential of the formulated protocol, and develop implementation strategies and evaluation plan for the use of this protocol in a local public hospital in Hong Kong. Five databases were used for the systemic review of relevant studies. These databases were those of Cochrane Library, CINAHL Plus, PudMed, British Nursing Index and Medline (Ovid). A total of eight papers (randomized controlled trials) fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this study. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) was used to extract the data and evaluate the paper quality. The findings of the selected papers indicated that yoga practice has a significant effect on reducing pain among adult patients with chronic LBP. The innovation is proposed to be conducted in an adult orthopedic and traumatoloy (O&T) ward. Evidence-based yoga guideline is developed to guide nurses in the effective implementation of the protocol. The SIGN grading system is chosen to grade the recommendations in the guideline. Adult patients with persistent LBP longer than three months are the target population. All study participants practice specific yoga postures under the supervision of yoga instructors and trained nurses in the outpatient clinic. These patients continue home practice for 30 minutes daily or at least twice a week. Based on the findings of the reviewed literatures and the adaptation of these findings into the proposed innovation, the feasibility of implementing evidence-based yoga guideline in the local clinical setting in Hong Kong is demonstrated. An effective communication plan is developed to gain support from stakeholders and efficiently implement the innovation. A two-month pilot study is designed to test the feasibility of the guideline. Pain level, which is the primary outcome of the study, is measured by using Pain Numerical Pain Scale (NRS). Evaluation will be completed after the pilot test and at the end of the whole programme and refinement of the protocol will be accomplished according if necessary. Protocol effectiveness will be determined by a decrease in back pain level after practicing yoga. Other outcomes include the knowledge and…

Depression has become a medical condition that affects more and more of the aged Hong Kong population, yet this condition is often overlooked. Depression is a treatable condition. Nevertheless, the current practice in Hong Kong relies heavily on medication and cognitive-behavioural therapy. The effectiveness of these two types of therapy is limited by the side-effects of the medications and the accessibility to medical facilities for cognitive-behavioural therapy. Physical activity is suggested by many studies to be effective in managing depressive symptoms in the population. Physical exercise is a relatively economic and convenient activity that can be self-administered for health. Some studies have suggested that physical activity is effective for managing depression, yet the number of theses on this topic for the aged population is limited. In this thesis, studies related to the effectiveness of physical activity on depressive symptoms alleviation among older adults were reviewed and critically appraised. The potential to apply the findings of these studies to the aged Chinese population in Hong Kong is discussed and presented. Studies were searched using the databases Pubmed and CINAHL, and a total of 15 relevant studies were found. The 15 studies were analyzed and listed as tables of evidence and appraised with the SIGN checklist for their quality. The results of these studies and the quality of the papers were summarized. Regarding the physical activity types examined in these studies, aerobic exercise involving controlled-breathing or deep-breathing (e.g. TaiChi) and activities to promote posture including flexibility and balance (e.g. Yoga) were found to be effective for alleviating depressive symptoms among the aged population. The feasibility and transferability of the desired intervention to the target population and setting were discussed. An evidence-based guideline with 8 recommendations was also developed. Finally, a plan for communication with different parties (e.g., administrators, users and staff) to administer the intervention was devised. A pilot test was also planned, with and evaluation plan for the pilot test to allow for adjustments to the intervention. This thesis discussed an alternative to treatment of depressive symptoms among the aged population. With the practice of physical activity effective in managing depressive symptoms in this population, it gave rise to the possibility that to promote the innovation to all of this population.

▼ Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive respiratory condition, significantly affects the lives of those managing its daily impact. Exercise is recognised as an important management strategy. This thesis investigates the addition of supervised exercise to the Stanford Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) in people with COPD. The CDSMP is a group-based program designed to facilitate the acquisition of self-management skills, and does not have an exercise component. This thesis provides opportunity to consider theories of health behaviour change and the role of self-efficacy in the self-regulation of behaviours, such as exercise. The effect of the CDSMP on self-reported exercise was reviewed, finding a lack of published research concerning supervised exercise with the CDSMP. To investigate the effect of supervised exercise with the CDSMP older adults were allocated to the CDSMP, with or without supervised exercise, in a parallel group randomised controlled clinical trial with a pre/post test design over two years. A mixed methods approach was used to provide a more detailed analysis of the effect of supervised exercise than one method alone, giving quantitative evidence enriched by the lived experience of participants. Objective outcomes included physical capacity (primary outcome), self-reported exercise, stage of change for exercise, exercise self-efficacy, shortness of breath, heath-related quality of life and self management behaviours. Change in outcomes between groups and within group was measured by appropriate statistical tests. Qualitative methods of enquiry using semistructured interviews and thematic analysis uncovered the lived experience of the people who participated in the CDSMP with or without supervised exercise. Eighty-four participants were randomised. There were 15 withdrawals, due to ill health and other commitments. This thesis demonstrated a small statistically significant increase in physical capacity for the intervention and control groups, but no significant difference between them. However, the clinical significance of the within-group change was not reached. Further research is required in this area. There were no significant differences between groups for any secondary outcome, although analysis of effect sizes indicated that supervised exercise confers a benefit to those who participate: they exercised more frequently, for longer duration, had less breathlessness and improved quality of life physical component summary compared with those who did not have supervised exercise. However, neither one hour of weekly supervised exercise, in the absence of a structured home programme, nor the CDSMP alone, was sufficient to produce more than small improvements in outcomes. Qualitative findings revealed participants bring to healthcare interactions a personal meaning of self-management defined by their lived experiences and strategies developed in response to living with COPD. Similar sources of motivation act across the CDSMP and supervised exercise, thereby…

▼ The broad aim of this thesis was to contribute to a better understanding of the contemporary management of non-specific low back pain (LBP) by investigating treatment options, mechanisms and outcomes. Chapter Two investigated the effectiveness of paracetamol for LBP in a Cochrane systematic review revealing high-quality evidence that there is no difference between paracetamol and placebo for acute LBP. Chapter Three and Chapter Four are two Cochrane reviews investigating the effectiveness of motor control exercise (MCE) for acute and chronic LBP. For acute, there is low to moderate quality evidence indicating no clinically important differences between MCE and manual therapy or other exercises. For chronic, there is low to high quality evidence that MCE is effective for pain and function compared with minimal intervention, but not clinically different from other exercises or manual therapy. Chapter Five evaluated the clinimetric properties of the Lumbar Spine Instability Questionnaire (LSIQ) in 107 people with LBP. The LSIQ seemed a unidimensional measure and had adequate reliability. However, it had poor internal consistency and did not function as an interval-level measure. Chapter Six investigated the credibility of subgroup claims in LBP trials using a 10-item checklist addressing design, analysis, and context. The credibility of subgroup claims was typically low and overstated by authors. Chapter Seven is a viewpoint exploring the advantages and disadvantages of subgroup analyses, considering the progress made to date, and the relevant literature in adjacent fields. Chapter Eight, a secondary analysis of Cochrane reviews, showed that LBP treatments usually provide larger effects for pain than for disability. The studies in this thesis have provided an important contribution to the contemporary management of LBP. The main implications are: i) paracetamol should not be endorsed in guidelines; ii) MCE is effective for chronic LBP, although it is not superior to other exercises; iii) subgroups in LBP have low credibility and lack validation, but a simple checklist can help improve research in this area; iv) the LSIQ needs more studies to understand its use and construct measured; and v) pain intensity should still be the primary measure of treatment success in chronic pain.
