Background: In an effort to improve quality and reduce costs, reimbursement for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) hip (THA) in the United States is being based on value of care provided, with adjustments some qualifying comorbidities, including diabetes its most severe form excluding many codes. The aims this study were examine effects elective TKA or THA complications readmission risks among Medicare beneficiaries. Methods: Complication (n = 521,230) 515,691) data extracted from files 2013...
Self-perceived instability among patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) is defined as giving way, buckling, or shifting of the during activities, especially walking. Although a leading cause mobility decline OA, methods for quantifying symptom, determining mechanisms, and establishing effective interventions remain unclear. Recently, data outputs (ie, linear acceleration its time-derivative, jerk) from wearable sensors are showing strong associations self-perceived other pathologies may...
The purpose of this study is to explore clinical characteristics patients with T2DM receiving a primary knee (TKA) or hip (THA) arthroplasty without TKA THA and no history osteoarthritis (OA).The included retrospective database review 500 consecutive identified ICD-9 codes 100 patients. Patients who received were screened for inclusion exclusion divided into groups. A comparison group only was exclude OA arthroplasty. All groups compared based on demographic relevant comorbidity differences....
Abstract Over 50% of people living with dementia (PLWD) experience pain associated functional decline. Pain and are heterogeneous complex, making the development effective nonpharmacological interventions challenging. Hence, we used Intervention Mapping (IM), an evidence-based process for designing complex behavioral interventions. This study focuses on completing Step 1 IM (needs assessment) to define population intervention priorities. We conducted synthesized findings three studies: (1) a...
Objectives: Managing multimorbidity as aging stroke patients is complex; standard self-management programs necessitate adaptations. We used visual analytics to examine complex relationships among survivors' comorbidities. These findings informed pre-adaptation of a component the Chronic Disease Self-Management Program. Methods: Secondary analysis 2013-2014 Medicare claims with an index condition, hospital readmission within 90 days (n = 42,938), and 72 Visual identified patient subgroups...
Storm surge from tropical cyclones is the main cause of flood induced damage in regions. Nevertheless, storm estimations are limited by scarcity measurements and historical information cyclones. This particularly true Mexico because data very scarce. Thus, this research presents an alternative method for estimating values different return periods, areas with insufficient information. The selected framework consists on implementation hydrodynamic models to reproduce mean sea level elevation...

Abstract Physical activity is beneficial for older adults to maintain health and help manage chronic diseases but relies on routine participation. Some continue with physical behaviors as they age, whereas others are negatively affected by impaired functional abilities, disabilities, unmet psychosocial needs. This symposium presents quantitative qualitative data factors that can influence among varying levels types of abilities. The first presentation will focus aging into the disability...
Abstract Effective pain management for persons living with dementia (PLWD) is critical to quality of life and could be achieve through rehabilitative care. However, it’s not well understood how physical therapists (PTs) occupational (OTs) develop deliver treatment plans PLWD, as most studies evidence-based guidelines explicitly exclude those cognitive impairment. In this qualitative descriptive study, we explored clinicians’ perceptions in PLWD recommended by available guidelines....
Abstract There is growing evidence regarding the benefits of spending time outdoors. However, it less understood if COVID-19 pandemic has deterred or increased older adults’ outdoor leisure activities when they reside in senior living communities. This study aimed to discover how affects community-residing activities. Older adults 65 and were recruited through ResearchMatch university partnerships. A qualitative descriptive approach was taken with semi-structured individual interviews...
