Summary Assessment of quality of life (QoL) and use of this information towards improvement of health care services is an important area of activity of the World Health Organization (WHO). This paper briefly discusses the conceptual basis and the methodology used in WHO's Quality of Life Project (WHOQOL). It describes the simultaneous development of instruments in widely different cultures to assess subjective QoL. Use of these instruments in the field of clinical trials with psychotropics is highlighted.

Abstract The purpose of this paper was to analyse the core of the quality of life, intended as a complex construct with specific and transversal features. The approach to this issue, by linking it to the great emergency of disability in adulthood, pushes the analysis into deep conceptual pedagogical reflections, which lead the authors’ initial reflections to focus on the theoretical framework related to the quality of life model and subsequently on the identification of some areas of intervention as a tangible application of the quality of life model. New perspectives and innovative potentials for the quality of life of adults with disability are investigated to reach new awareness, which can also be applied in different life contexts. The paper mentions meaningful trajectories, also from the international scene, aiming to guarantee significantly oriented life trajectories.

Resumen: El presente artículo pone de relieve la idea de que la intervención con personas con TEA debe basarse siempre en un planteamiento integral y de futuro. Para ello deben consolidarse redes de servicios que cubran todas las necesidades, derechos, ámbitos y etapas vitales. El objetivo es potenciar el mantenimiento y el desarrollo continuo tanto de las habilidades básicas de la vida diaria como de todas aquellas que faciliten su acceso a los mismos ámbitos que el conjunto de la población, siguiendo el modelo de calidad de vida para asegurar el Proyecto de Vida de estas personas frente a concepciones asistenciales dirigidas solo a evitar el deterioro. Con dicho objetivo a la vista se exponen los principios en los que debe basarse esta intervención, recogiendo además los principales programas de intervención dirigidos a la formación, ocupación y trabajo en la etapa adulta. Autism spectrum disorder: Educational intervention and lifelong learning Abstract: In this paper, we highlight the idea that the intervention on people with ASD should always be based on a comprehensive and forward-looking approach, consolidating networks of services that cover all the vital needs, rights, areas and the life stages, with the aim to enhance the maintenance and the continued development of both basic skills of daily living and all those skills that help them to access to the same areas as the general population, following the model of quality of life to ensure their Life Project against welfare conceptions addressed to prevent deterioration only. We present the principles on which this intervention must be based, and gather the main intervention programs aimed at training, employment and working in adulthood.

Main Component

PURPOSE The socket is the main component of a prosthesis which surrounds the residual limb and transfers loads and motions between the residual limb and prosthesis. A misfit socket may lead to excessive stresses on the residual limb, pistoning of the prosthesis during walking, patient discomfort, pain, and skin damage. The quality of socket-skin interface directly affects quality of life, prosthesis use, and satisfaction from prosthesis in amputees. Pain is a devastating condition that prohibits prosthesis use1-4. The present study aimed to evaluate pain threshold and tolerance of the transtibial residual limb to improve its socket design and fit.   Abstract PDF  Link: https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cpoj/article/view/32028/24445 How to cite: Ghoseiri K, Rastkhadiv M.Y, Allami M.

INTRODUCTION Several years ago, a new microprocessor controlled knee (MPK), Genium, was introduced containing sensors, algorithms and technical solutions that enable a range of new functions to lower limb amputees. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the effect of the knee on ambulation, mobility, activities of daily living (ADLs) and quality of life (QoL).
