We evaluated the effectiveness of a low-intensity, home-based physical activity program (Onco-Move) and moderate- to high-intensity, combined supervised resistance aerobic exercise (OnTrack) versus usual care (UC) in maintaining or enhancing fitness, minimizing fatigue, health-related quality life, optimizing chemotherapy completion rates patients undergoing adjuvant for breast cancer.We randomly assigned who were scheduled undergo (N = 230) Onco-Move, OnTrack, UC. Performance-based...
Delivery of exercise interventions to patients with early-stage breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy requires complex clinical decisions. The purpose this study was develop a framework support decisions for tailoring common comorbidities and treatment-induced adverse effects.Tailored prescriptions were developed in four steps, following the i3-S strategy. All steps based on current best available evidence, complemented expert opinions. First, effects identified. In subsequent...
Major surgery is associated with negative postoperative outcomes such as complications and delayed or poor recovery. Multimodal prehabilitation can help to reduce the effects of major surgery. Offering by means mobile health (mHealth) could be an effective new approach.The objectives this pilot study were (1) evaluate usability Be Prepared mHealth app prototype for people undergoing surgery, (2) explore whether was capable bringing about a change in risk behaviors, (3) estimate preliminary...
ObjectiveInternational guidelines recommend supervised exercise therapy (SET) as primary treatment for all patients with intermittent claudication (IC), yet endovascular revascularisation (ER) might be more effective in iliac artery obstruction.MethodsThis was a multicentre RCT including IC caused by stenosis or occlusion (NCT01385774). Patients were allocated randomly to SET ER stratified maximum walking distance (MWD) and concomitant SFA disease. Primary endpoints MWD on treadmill (3.2...
Abstract Introduction The transition from hospital to home is often suboptimal, resulting in patients not receiving the necessary allied healthcare after discharge. This may, turn, lead delayed recovery, a higher number of readmissions, more emergency department visits and an increase mortality costs. study aimed gain insight into patients' experiences, perceptions, needs regarding hospital‐to‐home transition, focusing on as first step towards development transitional integrated pathway for...
Purpose (1) To assess the feasibility of a blended intervention, combining smartphone app for self-monitoring physical activity and protein intake with coaching from physiotherapist dietician after hospitalization (2) to evaluate associated study procedures.
To gain insight into healthcare professionals' perceptions and needs regarding hospital-to-home transitions. Qualitative phenomenological study. Hospital primary care professionals participated in focus groups interviews. Participants were recruited from a Dutch University hospital our networks between May September 2023. Data analysed using thematic analysis. We conducted seven twelve Three themes emerged: "Collaboration information exchange professionals", "Coordination continuity of...
Self-monitoring of physical activity (PA) using an accelerometer is a promising intervention to stimulate PA after hospital discharge.This study aimed evaluate the feasibility self-monitoring discharge in patients who have undergone gastrointestinal or lung cancer surgery.A mixed methods was conducted which 41 with scheduled for lobectomy, esophageal resection, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy were included. Preoperatively, received ankle-worn and corresponding mobile health app...
Abstract Background To assess the barriers and facilitators associated with upscaling Transmural Trauma Care Model (TTCM), a multidisciplinary patient‐centred transmural rehabilitation care model. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted eight trauma surgeons, hospital-based physiotherapists, patients, primary physiotherapists who part of network. Audio recordings made transcribed verbatim. Data analysed using framework method based on “constellation approach”. Identified grouped...
Abstract Background The survival rates for patients with advanced cancer have increased over time. Many experience symptoms and functional limitations that impair activities of daily living limit quality life. A number these health problems are amenable to physical therapist treatment. However, therapists caring require special training skills. Objective study aimed assess the educational needs clinical uncertainties Dutch in relation treatment cancer. Design This was a mixed methods study....
To address the feasibility, reliability and internal validity of natural language processing (NLP) for automated functional assessment hospitalised COVID-19 patients in key International Classification Functioning, Disability Health (ICF) categories levels from unstructured text electronic health records (EHR) a large teaching hospital.
Abstract Background The Transmural Trauma Care Model (TTCM) is a refined post-clinical rehabilitation approach, in which multidisciplinary hospital-based team guides network of primary care physical therapists the treatment trauma patients. objective this study was to assess effectiveness TTCM compared regular care. Methods A controlled-before-and-after performed level 1 center. includes four elements: 1) at outpatient clinic, 2) coordination and individual goal setting for each patient by...
To report the study protocol and baseline characteristics of a prospective cohort to evaluate longitudinal recovery trajectories patients recovering from COVID-19 who have visited primary care allied health professional.Report for with mixed-methods approach.Patients treated by dietitians, exercise therapists, occupational physical therapists and/or speech language in Netherlands.The will measure outcome domains: participation, health-related quality life, fatigue, functioning, costs, at...
Abstract Background Although indicated, referrals for multifactorial fall risk assessments in older adults with related injuries presenting at the emergency department (ED) are not standard. The implementation of a transmural fall-prevention care pathway (TFCP) could bridge this gap by guiding patients to and personalised multidomain interventions primary care. This study aims develop evaluate strategies TFCP. Methods In mixed-methods study, were developed using Consolidated Framework...
