Introduction: The aim of this study is to develop and validate a questionnaire that evaluates the impact diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) on quality life functional capacity in older adults, while also exploring correlations between clinical factors DPN severity guide personalized treatment strategies. Methods materials: A systematic literature review identified key symptoms DPN, leading development 20-item Questionnaire for Assessment Impact Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (QAIDPN)....
Background/Objectives: Physical activity (PA) is a key determinant of mental and physical health, yet its relationship with affective states remains insufficiently explored. Emotional factors, such as depression, anxiety, motivation levels, can significantly impact PA engagement. This study aims to validate the Affective State Activity Questionnaire (ASPAQ), novel 15-item instrument designed assess interplay between in adults. Methods: A cross-sectional was conducted 412 adults (145 males,...
Healthcare professions impose high physical and mental demands, potentially affecting health. Despite advocating for active lifestyles, many physiotherapists do not meet recommended activity levels (PALs). This study explores patterns recreational engagement among practicing physiotherapists. A cross-sectional correlational design examined the relationship between participation 60 (38 females, 22 males, mean age 38.62 ± 9.78 years). Data were collected using International Physical Activity...
(1) Background: This study aims to put into evince the relationship between variability of reaction time (RT) during repeated testing, expressed through indicators extracted by Poincaré plot method, and age participants, their self-reported health (SRH), level perceived anxiety. (2) Methods: The was performed using computerized RT testing software. An observational cross-sectional on a group 120 subjects (mean 42.33 ± 21.12 years), sex ratio men women 1.14:1. Data were processed descriptive...
The expansion of educating people for a healthy lifestyle is the surest way to prevent anticipated explosion obesity, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular complications, which can be seen more in early adult stages life. purpose this study highlight by promoting therapeutic education programs, focused on awareness beneficial effects regular physical activity overall health condition, increase efficiency prophylactic measures. A retrospective correlation was conducted...
In this research, we aimed to investigate a computational model of repetitive reaction time (RT) and virtual (VRT) testing.
With this study we aim to identify strategies for the diversification, reorganization and modernization of physical therapy tourism services using Life Long Learning level treatment facilities within health resorts. We tried assure a complex interdisciplinary multidisciplinary approach wellness in context promoting quality life, natural spa factors correlation with possibilities specific therapeutic interventions resort profile. Creating personalized database on certain pathology offers...
The protective role of intense physical activity (PA) on chronic diseases is sustained by the high aerobic capacity, muscle strength and also low evidence metabolic alteration in elite athletes. Studies detrained athletes have demonstrated risk syndrome (MS) onset, inactivity retired being associated with changes insulin sensitivity, plasma lipids body composition. To study impact MS onset male athletes, authors completed a longitudinal retrospective case-control study, using two samples top...
The increasing prevalence of coronary heart disease and failure, as well their multiple consequences on individual level, in terms functional limitations occupational participation restrictions, including socio-economic challenges, impose the implementation new effective methods strategies for prevention, treatment rehabilitation. More studies revealed that a comprehensive therapeutic approach patient, which includes also disease’s self-management through counselling education interventions,...
Entropy is a thermodynamic concept describing the degree of order present in system. This parameter used for informational analysis dynamics that and its forms expression are to evaluate complexity various physiological signals. In terms human motricity, entropy can be quantify movement complexity. The motor adaptation organism involves process conservation energy entropy, which implies compensation between load, body (effector result), environment. variability performance reflected by...
Background: This study examined the quality of physical therapy services across di-verse settings through a cross-sectional correlational analysis. Its fundamental objective lies in exploring nuanced factors that contextualize practices. (2) Methods: We introduced Physical Therapy Services Evaluation Ques-tionnaire (PSEQ) and gathered patient satisfaction data Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The involved 30 therapists (average age 39.57 ± 9.37 years, 40% males 60% females), assessed via PSEQ,...
(1) Background: This research aims to compare social networks among institutionalized and aging-in-place (AIP) older adults through the validation of a new questionnaire. (2) Methods: The cross-sectional study included 100 (mean age: 73.53 ± 5.49 years; age range: 65–85 years), with 48 subjects 52 AIP subjects. We developed, validated, administered questionnaire, Social Network Assessment for Older People Questionnaire (SNAOPQ), assess adults’ using descriptive inferential statistical...
This study focuses on the development of a digital platform for International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), converting it into an interactive computational tool assessing physical activity (PA). The version enhances accessibility, and efficiency PA assessments by enabling real-time data collection potential synchronization with other health tools. Utilizing cross-platform framework, application ensures compatibility across various devices offers user-friendly interface. model...
The paper analyses 4 printing technological flow cases, considering the author’s experience (over 15 years) in industry to improve production efficiency. productivity, quality and delivery time are main areas of interest for people working & finishing industry, where print demand structure evolved costs replacing machines very high. implementation organisational reconfiguration changes contribute development new efficient structures within process, therefore increasing efficiency it, as...
Recent studies indicate that performance of motor skills is influenced by a diversity physiological parameters, such as weight status, aerobic capacity, endurance and muscular strength, but the scientific determinants physical are very specific. The aim was to identify anthropometric in young adults. authors studied factors (as predictor variables) among 230 subjects (average age 22 years, sex ratio 1/1). considered criterion variable results Fundamental Movement Skills Test, Romanian...
The aim of this study was to determine the physiological and biochemical effects chronic exposure whole body vibration on lipid metabolism in 20 healthy young adults (mean age 23.6±2.33 years). Each subject exposed 3 times per week for a total 6 weeks, sessions 15 minutes, at diagonal stimuli, 25 Hz, platform. protocol had positive impact subjects’ composition serum profile, with significant lowering weight, mass index, fat percentage, cholesterol low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (p <...
Gated studies are a routine part of myocardial perfusion in many departments. Most the programs automated, which should result same values with repeat analysis data. In this study we have looked at repeatability cardiac package to determine margin error. Fifteen consecutive patients were entered into study. The images acquired on Phillips Axis camera. Each item patient data was analysed four times using fully automated Emory toolbox. Four sets EF, EDV, ESV, stroke volume (SV), and mass...
Disability is a frequently encountered condition in Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical (PT) practice. The aim of this study was to investigate the perception students OT PT towards disability explore their perspective on working with people disabilities. attitudes two groups (n=50) were assessed through brainstorming session topic disability. At end session, we applied semistructured self-administered questionnaire participants order evaluate performance each group put into evidence most...
