Workers, especially healthcare workers, are exposed to an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, less is known about the impact of rehabilitation on health outcomes associated with post-COVID. This longitudinal observational study examined changes in physical and neuropsychological work ability after inpatient 127 patients (97 females/30 males; age 21–69 years; Mean = 50.62) who acquired COVID-19 workplace. Post-COVID symptoms, functional status, performance, health, employment,...
Cognitive function declines in parallel to the decrease glomerular filtration rate, best epitomized by markedly reduced cerebral performance patients undergoing maintenance haemodialysis [chronic kidney disease stage 5 dialysis (CKD5D)]. Aside from structural permanent damage, there seems be a reversible part of low cognitive performance. The potential effect single session on remains still elusive. aim study was assess using widespread test battery and avoiding excluding effects circadian...
Abstract Cardiorespiratory fitness is known to protect against cognitive decline in older adults. Specifically, it has been shown that physical activity and are beneficial for executive functions crucial independent living up old age. In this study, 115 individuals aged 80 years underwent a cardiorespiratory assessment using the two-minute step test had their electroencephalogram recorded during colored flanker task order measure function performance. was related quicker responses task. A...
Abstract Background Sex differences in cognitive performance have been extensively documented. Understanding the underlying factors contributing to sex older adults is imperative promote healthy aging. hormones, estrogens, and testosterone suggested be associated with cognition. Nevertheless, there a scarcity of studies investigating difference contribution gonadal hormones adults. Hence, current study aimed investigate elucidate association between 80+ -year-olds. Methods Using confirmatory...
Abstract Background Dementia and cognitive decline are serious social economic burdens. An increase in the population of older people, as well longer lifespans mean that numbers dementia cases exponentially rising. Neuropathological changes associated with thought to appear before clinical manifestation symptoms, i.e., memory impairments. Further, some adults (OA) experience it can be objectively diagnosed. For optimal care these patients, is necessary detect at an early stage. In this vein,...
Coordinated bimanual control depends on information processing in different intra- and interhemispheric networks that differ with respect to task symmetry laterality of execution. Aging age-related cognitive impairments, but also sex can have detrimental effects connectivity these networks. We therefore expected age, function force coordination. furthermore depend the characteristics (i.e., difficulty symmetry). 162 right handed participants (19 younger adults [YA], 21-30 years, 9 females;...
Abstract Background An infection with SARS-CoV-2 can lead to persistent symptoms more than three months after the acute and has also an impact on patients’ physical activity behaviour sleep quality. There is evidence, that inpatient post-COVID rehabilitation improve capacity mental health impairments, but less known about change in Methods This longitudinal observational study used accelerometery assess level of quality before program. The sample consists 100 patients who acquired COVID-19...
Compared with healthy older adults, patients Alzheimer's disease show decreased alpha and beta power as well increased delta theta during resting state electroencephalography (rsEEG). Findings for mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a stage of risk conversion to dementia, are less conclusive. Cognitive status 213 non-demented high-agers (mean age, 82.5 years) was classified according neuropsychological screening test battery. RsEEG measured eyes closed open, absolute in delta, theta, alpha,...
This study examined the association between finger tapping and cognitive function in a group of 225 elderly participants (116 males; age 79-92 years; M = 82.5; SD 2.4). Finger was assessed two conditions: self-selected pace fast pace. Based on assessments, including MoCA CERA-NP test battery, were classified as cognitively healthy individuals (CHI), with mild impairments (MCI), those possible MCI (pMCI). Results analyses show significant differences groups, sex × interaction four parameters...
Abstract Studies about effects of school lunch on children’s cognition are rare; two previous studies (CogniDo, CogniDo PLUS) generally found no negative cognitive performance at the end break (i.e. 45 min after finishing lunch), but suggested potential beneficial for single parameters. Therefore, present study investigated hypothesis positive early afternoon (90 lunch). A randomised, cross-over intervention trial was conducted a comprehensive with fifth and sixth grade students....
In 2020, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) developed into a worldwide pandemic. The course of COVID-19 is diverse, non-specific, and variable: Affected persons suffer from physical, cognitive, psychological acute long-term consequences. symptoms influence everyday life activities, as well work ability in short or long-term. Healthcare professionals are considered particularly vulnerable to compared general population. Germany, recognized an occupational work-related accident under...
Physical and cognitive exercises can prevent or at least mitigate the symptoms of certain diseases help older adults perform a range daily functions. Yet, most seniors do not meet World Health Organisation’s recommended guidelines for physical activity. The objective this study is to promote maintain capacity by implementing feasible effective low-threshold, age-appropriate, motor–cognitive training outdoors. In German city Chemnitz, citizens aged 60 years participated in quasi-randomised...
Background: Rehabilitation is an effective and feasible approach for post-COVID patients to improve physical health. However, knowledge regarding the long-term impact of rehabilitation on health these lacking. Methods: Changes in 127 with COVID-19 as occupational disease or work accident were assessed a longitudinal observational study. Post-COVID symptoms, functional status, exercise capacity, endurance performance, quadricep strength, handgrip motor balance ability, self-reported...
Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in restoring work ability and facilitating the reintegration of post-COVID patients into workforce. The impact rehabilitation on return to (RTW) remains poorly understood. This study was conducted assess RTW before 12 months after identify physical neuropsychological health factors influencing rehabilitation.
Abstract Background: An infection with SARS-CoV-2 can lead to persistent symptoms more than three months after the acute and has also an impact on patients’ physical activity behaviour sleep quality. There is evidence, that inpatient post-COVID rehabilitation improve capacity mental health impairments, but less known about change in Methods: This longitudinal observational study used accelerometery assess level of quality before program. The sample consists 100 patients who acquired COVID-19...
Background Vulnerable older adults have a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Regular physical activity (PA) can positive effect on the health health-related behavior this specific target group. However, evidence impact feasibility community-based PA promotion interventions for vulnerable is still limited. Objective The BeTaSen (Bewegungs-Tandems in den Lebenswelten Chemnitzer Seniorinnen und Senioren: ein Beitrag zur kommunalen Gesundheitsförderung) study aims to evaluate (1) as well (2)...
