Foot Orthosis

This exploratory study attempted to estimate the severity of health complaints and disabilities in patients supplied with foot orthoses for degenerative foot disorders in the Netherlands. Information on the severity and the distribution of the complaints in these patients is important to acquire insight in the problems which these patients experience, and moreover is essential for further research, especially for evaluating effects of patients undergoing foot orthosis treatment. Patients with degenerative foot disorders aged 18 years and over were recruited from nine orthopaedic workshops over a period of three months in 2000. One hundred and twenty-two (122) patients were included in the study. Two approaches were used to obtain data. Firstly, shoe technicians and orthotists inspected patients’ feet and legs and interviewed them at their initial visit. Data on gender, age, height, weight, existing and prescribed orthotic devices were recorded on a report form. Secondly, patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire assessing type, location, frequency, intensity and duration of health complaints, and disability. Data indicate that females with degenerative foot disorders and foot orthoses are twice as common as men. Patients supplied with foot orthoses are twice as often overweight compared to subjects in the general population. Besides frequent and protracted pain there are also fatigue complaints, particularly in the feet and lower leg. Duration and frequency of the complaints suggest that these patients suffer from a chronic pain syndrome. In addition, the results indicate that the functional level of these patients is below that of the general population, in particular regarding physical activities.

Purpose This exploratory study examined the language skills and the type and frequency of disfluencies in the spoken narrative production of Spanish–English bilingual children who do not stutter. Method A cross-sectional sample of 29 bilingual students (16 boys and 13 girls) enrolled in grades prekindergarten through Grade 4 produced a total of 58 narrative retell language samples in English and Spanish. Key outcome measures in each language included the percentage of normal (%ND) and stuttering-like (%SLD) disfluencies, percentage of words in mazes (%MzWds), number of total words, number of different words, and mean length of utterance in words. Results Cross-linguistic, pairwise comparisons revealed significant differences with medium effect sizes for %ND and %MzWds (both lower for English) as well as for number of different words (lower for Spanish). On average, the total percentage of mazed words was higher than 10% in both languages, a pattern driven primarily by %ND; %SLDs were below 1% in both languages. Multiple linear regression models for %ND and %SLD in each language indicated that %MzWds was the primary predictor across languages beyond other language measures and demographic variables. Conclusions The findings extend the evidence base with regard to the frequency and type of disfluencies that can be expected in bilingual children who do not stutter in grades prekindergarten to Grade 4. The data indicate that %MzWds and %ND can similarly index the normal disfluencies of bilingual children during narrative production. The potential clinical implications of the findings from this study are discussed.

The aim of the study was to explore the basic features of self-schema in persons with schizophrenia. Thirty two schizophrenic patients and 32 normal controls were asked to select personality trait words from a check-list that described themselves, themselves as they were five years ago, and what most people are like. Compared with the control group, participants from the experimental group chose significantly more adjectives that were common to descriptions of self and others, and significantly less that were common to self and past-self descriptions. These results suggest that schizophrenic patients experience their personality as changing over time much more than do healthy subjects. Moreover, their self-representation seems to be less differentiated from others-representation and less clearly defined than in normal subjects.
