Background: Previous studies have reported an association between executive dysfunction and the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL)s among older adults. This study aims examine functions functional status in a cross-section adults with varying degrees cognitive impairment.Methods: 89 individuals (mean age 73.8 years) were recruited at memory clinic São Paulo, Brazil. Subjects underwent evaluation, allocated into three diagnostic groups according status: normal controls (NC, n...
To evaluate the effects of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program on cognition, quality life, and neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease. The present study was single-blind, controlled that conducted at university-based day-hospital memory facility. included 25 their caregivers involved 12-week stimulation psychoeducational program. comparison group consisted 16 waiting lists for future intervention. Group sessions were provided by multiprofessional team...
Abstract The magnitude of functional impairment that may indicate the threshold between MCI and incipient Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has not been clearly defined. objective was to examine pattern in continuum MCI-AD. Eighty-nine older adults (32 cognitively unimpaired, 31 MCI, 26 AD patients) were examined with Brazilian version Direct Assessment Functional Status (DAFS-BR) at a university-based memory clinic. patients sub-divided according progression upon follow-up, had baseline cognitive,...
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of tailored activity program–outpatient version (TAP‐O) and to reduce neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in patients with dementia caregiver burden compared a control group (psychoeducation intervention). Methods Twenty‐one persons their caregivers were recruited randomized. The intervention received TAP‐O, designed for outpatients caregivers. TAP‐O consisted eight sessions which an occupational therapist assessed patient's abilities interests; prescribed...
The Direct Assessment of Functional Status-Revised (DAFS-R) is an instrument developed to objectively measure functional capacities required for independent living. objective this study was translate and culturally adapt the DAFS-R Brazilian Portuguese (DAFS-BR) evaluate its reliability validity. DAFS-BR administered 89 older patients classified previously as normal controls, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) Alzheimer's disease (AD). results indicated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α =...
ABSTRACT Mild impairment in activities of daily living (ADL) can occur Cognitive Impairment (MCI), but the nature and extent these difficulties need to be further explored. The Canadian occupational performance measure (COPM) is one few individualized scales designed identify self-perceived ADL. present study investigated impairments ADL using COPM elderly with MCI. A total 58 MCI patients were submitted for studies its validity reliability. proved a valid consistent instrument evaluating...
Background: Atypical aging in Down syndrome (DS) is associated with neuropathological characteristics consistent Alzheimer disease. Gait abnormalities have been shown to be an increased risk of dementia for the general population. The aim this study was determine whether gait disorders are worse cognitive performance and adults DS. Methods: We evaluated 66 individuals DS (≥20 y age), divided into 3 groups: stable cognition, prodromal dementia, (presumed disease). Each individual...
A produção científica relativa às intervenções e avaliações em Terapia Ocupacional têm avançado. Instrumentos de avaliação são cada vez mais utilizados para avaliar resultados nos Estados Unidos, Canadá, Austrália países da Europa. No Brasil, entretanto, instrumentos traduzidos validados ainda pouco difundidos entre terapeutas ocupacionais. Diante disso, o objetivo desta revisão literatura é conhecer os escalas que estão língua portuguesa disponíveis uso no Brasil. Para a pesquisa foi...
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as aggression, apathy, agitation, and wandering may occur in up to 90%of dementia cases. International guidelines have suggested that non-pharmacological interventions are effective pharmacological treatments, however without the side effects risks of medications. An occupational therapy method, called Tailored Activity Program (TAP), was developed with objective treat NPS elderly has been shown be effective.Evaluate efficacy TAP method (outpatient...
Treacher-Collins syndrome is characterized by craniofacial malformations, narrowing of the external auditory canal (EAC), and, in 30% cases, agenesis and ossicular chain defects. The use hearing aids (HA) not possible cases which or stenosis EAC accompanies conductive deafness. In contrast, bone conduction implants such as Bone Anchored Hearing Aid (BAHA(®)) allow direct stimulation cochlea are thus superior to conventional severe loss. To present 2 patients with who underwent implantation...
The occupational goal intervention (OGI) method has been proven effective in improving executive function (EF) people with schizophrenia, but it not yet tested those treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS).To test the efficacy of OGI TRS.Single-blind randomized controlled trial.The Schizophrenia Program, Institute Psychiatry, University São Paulo General Hospital, Brazil.People TRS according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual Mental Disorders (5th ed.) criteria, ages 18 55.
