This study analyses the residual femur motion of a single amputee within a trans-femoral socket during a series of daily living activities. Two simultaneously transmitting, socket mounted transducers were connected to two ultrasound scanners. Displacement measurements of the ultrasound image of the femur were video recorded and measured on “paused” playback. Abduction/adduction and flexion/extension of the residual femur within the socket at any instant during these activities were estimated, knowing the relative positions of the two transducers and the position of the residual femur on the ultrasound image. Consistent motion patterns of the residual femur within the trans-femoral socket were noted throughout each monitored daily living activity of the single amputee studied. Convery and Murray (2000) reported that during level walking, relative to the socket, the residual femur extends 6° and abducts 9° by mid-stance while flexing 6° and adducting 2° by toe-off. Uphill/downhill, turning to the right and stepping up/down altered this reported pattern of femoral motion by approximately 1°. During the standing activity from a seated position the femur initially flexed 4° before moving to 7° extension, while simultaneously adducting 6°. During the sitting activity from a standing position the femur moved from 7° extension and 6° adduction to 3° flexion and 1° abduction. The activity of single prosthetic support to double support introduced only minor femoral motion whereas during the activity of prosthetic suspension the femur flexed 8° while simultaneously adducting 9°. Additional studies of more amputees are required to validate the motion patterns presented in this investigation.

ABSTRACT Objective To establish the correlation between clinical evaluation of motor function recovery and daily living activities in 30 patients with upper traumatic brachial plexus injury submitted to surgery. Methods The score of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center (LSUHSC) scale were determined in 30 patients. Epidemiologic factors were also examined and correlations were determined. Results There was a significant correlation between the clinical evaluation and the daily living activities after a 12-month period (r = 0.479 and p = 0.007). A direct correlation was observed between the functional recovery of the upper limb and the time between injury and surgery (r = 0.554 and p = 0.001). The LSUHSC scores (p = 0.049) and scores from the DASH questionnaire (p = 0.013) were better among patients who returned to work. Conclusions Clinical evaluation and daily living activities in adult patients who underwent nerve transfer after brachial plexus injury showed significant and measurable improvements.

The Relationship

Background The quality of life of the elderly is influenced by several factors such as physical health, psychological health,and good social relationships. Physical health is related to daily living activities that a person does in his daily lifeincluding ambulation, eating, dressing, bathing, brushing teeth and making up. At old age, a person will experience adecrease in physical condition which will affect the value of fulfilling one's daily living activities. This study aims toanalyze the relationship between the level of independence of daily living activities and the level of quality of life ofgeriatric patients. Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with a cross sectional design. The sampleswere geriatric patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang in September-October 2019. The sample of this study was55 respondents. Results: From 55 Geriatric patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang found 60% male respondentsand 40% female respondents, the 60-74 years age group as much as 74.5%, the 75-90 year age group as much as 25.5%,the 50-60 year age group as much as 26%. Chi-square test results showed a significant relationship between the level ofActivity Daily Living and the level of quality of life of geriatric patients (p value = 0.000). The results of the odds ratio ingeriatric patients state that the probability of improving the quality of life is 27.7 times greater in patients who have anindependent daily living activity level than in patients who have a total dependent daily living activity level. In theanalysis, it was also found that the level of daily living activity of geriatric patients is a protective factor for the quality oflife of geriatric patients. (95% CI = 0.006-0.206). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between the level of dailyliving activity and the quality of life of geriatric patients in , dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang.

Aim: This is a Quasi-experimental study wich was carried out in order to determine the effects of applying progressive muscle relaxation on fatigue and daily living activity of MS patients. Background: Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and adversely affects their daily living activities. Methods: 80 MS Patients were selected then conducted in two group (40 experiments and 40 contorol). Data collector tools included: demographic questionnaire, fatigue severity scale and activity of daily living questionnaire which completed four times by two group (before̦ Third week, sixth and ninth after study), self-report checklists which completed only by experimental group. PMRT performed once a day for 8 week by experimental group. During study no intervention was done for control group. Results: repeated measures ANOVA showed that there is significant difference in mean score of fatigue between two group in 4 times (P<0/05). Also, the results showed that with progressive muscle relaxation at 4 times, daily activities in ADL and IADL sections were significantly increased (P<0/05) but there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0/05). however, clinically significant differences were observed. Conclusions: Acording to these findingș applying PMRT decreased patient´s fatigue and improve independence in daily living activities. This study supports the effect of PMRT on fatigue and activities of daily living in patients with MS, and it is recommended that further studies be conducted on this subject in the future. Keywords: daily living activity, fatigue, progressive muscle relaxation technique, multiple sclerosis.

This study analyses the motion of the residual femur within a transfemoral socket during gait using ultrasound data from two simultaneously transmitting transducers connected to two ultrasound scanners. Calibration tests accurately established the orientation of the two transducers mounted on the lateral wall of the socket. Relative positions of the ultrasound image of the femur were measured on video playback. Motion of the residual femur, relative to the lateral wall of the socket, at any instant during gait may be estimated, if the relative positions of the two transducers and the motion of the ultrasound image are known. A consistent pattern of femoral motion during 10 gait cycles is displayed graphically. The femoral motion in this paper is expressed as abduction/adduction or flexion/extension relative to the socket. However, without a full gait analysis study, the orientation of the socket relative to the ground or relative to the pelvis cannot be determined. Only one ultrasound scanner may be available for clinical use. Hence data collection may be restricted to only one transducer during gait. In order to simulate the single transducer mode, the ultrasound data recorded during the 10 previous gait cycles, was averaged at any instant of the gait cycle. The angular orientation of the femur was calculated based on the averaged data. Similar patterns of femoral motion were obtained irrespective of the technique adopted.

Main Activity

The increasing number of elderly from year to year has an impact on increasing the accompanying degenerative diseases. In addition, the elderly tend to be at risk for emotional changes and even at risk for depression which can have an impact on disruption of daily activities (Kelliat (1996) in Yuli (2014). Activity needs are basic needs because they cover self-care needs which include: bathing, dressing, going to the toilet, transferring, continence, and eating (Tamher, Noorkasiani, 2009). Based on WHO data (2007), it shows that psychosocial factors in elderly are problems that are very burdensome for their lives, which in turn affect physical, social and mental disorders. Some of these conditions can affect activity daily living. Where is the main activity for self-care which includes: bathing, dressing, going to the toilet, transferring, continence, and eating (Tamher, Noorkasiani, 2009). The objective of this study was to identify the level of independence of the elderly in carrying out daily living activities at Panti Wredha St. Yoseph Kediri. The design used in this research was descriptive. The population was the elderly at Panti Wredha St. Yoseph Kediri. The samples were 30 respondents with a purposive sampling technique. The independent variable was a description of the level of independence in carrying out daily living activities. The results showed that there was elderly’s independence level in carrying out daily living activities, namely light dependence as many as 11 people (68.8%) and moderate dependence 5 people (31.3%). In conclusion, elderly’s independence level in carrying out ADL at Panti Wredha St. Yoseph Kediri, namely light- moderate dependence.

ABSTRACTBackground: The purpose of the study was to translate the Interview for Deterioration in Daily Living Activities in Dementia (IDDD) into German and to evaluate the construct and concurrent validity in people with mild to moderate dementia.Methods: IDDD data of two pooled samples (n = 301) were analyzed regarding ceiling and bottom effects, internal consistency, factor reliability and correlations with corresponding scales on cognition and activities of daily living.Results: We found minimal bottom (< 5%) and ceiling (≤ 2%) effects, good internal consistency (Cronbach's α > 0.7) and moderate to good factor reliability (0.66–0.87). Low correlations with cognition (Pearson coefficient: < 0.17) confirmed the differences between cognitive testing and activities of daily living (ADL). Minor correlations with other ADL scores (r < 0.2) indicated that different scores cover a different range of ADLs. The original two factor model could not be confirmed. A suggested four factor model distinguishing initiative and performance of basic and instrumental ADL demonstrated better indices of fit and higher correlations with corresponding scales.Conclusion: A four factor model of the IDDD can be used in dementia research for assessing initiative in and performance of basic and household activities of daily living. The findings suggest that ADL scales correlate only poorly and that further development of the IDDD is needed to cover a broader range of ADLs.

Flexible Flatfoot

Background: Radiographic assessment is still used to evaluate flexible flatfoot in children. Methods: To find a set of radiologic parameters for assessing this disease, we studied 53 children aged 10 to 14 years. The degree of plantar collapse was measured by Viladot’s classification (grades 0–4). The degree of valgus deformity measured in the heel in a standing position, the presence of painful points, and functional limitation during daily-living activities were also reported. The children underwent standard radiography of the foot under load. On the dorsoplantar view, the talocalcaneal, hallux metatarsophalangeal, and first intermetatarsal angles were measured. On the lateral view, the talocalcaneal, Costa Bertani, talometatarsal, talonavicular, and tibiotalar angles were measured. The radiographic measurements were compared with the data reported in the literature and were correlated with the clinical parameters studied (degree of flatfoot, valgus deviation of the heel, pain, and functional limitation). Results: The radiographic measures that resulted increased with respect to the reference values reported in the literature for the Costa Bertani (93.1% of feet), talometatarsal (93.5%), talonavicular (89.1%), and tibiotalar (69.7%) angles, all in the lateral view. Of the angles assessed in the dorsoplantar view, the hallux metatarsophalangeal (11.1%) and first intermetatarsal (24.2%) angles were increased. The degree of flatfoot was correlated with the Costa Bertani angle (P &lt; .0005). In the group with pain, the lateral talocalcaneal (P = .016) and first intermetatarsal (P = .02) angles were increased compared within the group without pain. Conclusions: Despite technical limitations, we still consider standard radiography of the foot, combined with clinical examination, to be a valid tool for assessing flexible flatfoot in children, especially when surgical treatment is expected and when a basic measure of the structural setup of the foot is necessary.
