The Relationship

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the relationship between cognitive function and activities of daily living (ADL) in addition to the mediating effect exerted by depression on this relationship in post-stroke patients.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 182 patients were recruited from two general and three geriatric hospitals in South Korea between July 2017 and June 2018. Cognitive function, depression, and ADL measures were assessed after informed consent was obtained. Data obtained were analyzed using multiple regression and a simple mediation model that applies the PROCESS macro with a 95% bias-corrected bootstrap confidence interval (5,000 bootstrap resampling).Results: The covariates were sex, age, educational level, types of paralysis, and type of hospital. After controlling for the demographic covariates, cognitive function significantly accounted for the variance of ADL. It was also demonstrated that depression partially mediated the relationship between cognitive function and ADL in post-stroke patients.Conclusion: Cognitive function directly influences the ADL in post-stroke patients and indirectly influences it through depression. This suggests that strategies for improving depression in post-stroke patients should be considered while managing cognitive functioning for improving the ADL.

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted therapy (RT) has become a promising stroke rehabilitation intervention. OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of short-term upper limb RT on the rehabilitation of sub-acute stroke patients. METHODS: Subjects were randomly assigned to the RT group (n= 23) or conventional rehabilitation (CR) group (n= 22). All subjects received conventional rehabilitation therapy for 30 minutes twice a day, for 2 weeks. In addition, the RT group received RT for 30 minutes twice a day, for 2 weeks. The outcomes before treatment (T0) and at 2 weeks (T1) and 1 month follow-up (T2) were evaluated in the patients using the upper limb motor function test of the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) the Motricity Index (MI), the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and the Barthel Index (BI). RESULTS: There were significant improvements in motor function scales (P< 0.001 for FMA and MI) and activities of daily living (P< 0.001 for FIM and BI) but without muscle tone (MAS, P> 0.05) in the RT and CR groups. Compared to the CR group, the RT group showed improvements in motor function and activities of daily living (P< 0.05 for FMA, MI, FIM, BI) at T1 and T2. There was no significant difference between the two groups in muscle tone (MAS, P> 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: RT may be a useful tool for sub-acute stroke patients’ rehabilitation.

Abstract The combined contribution of multi-morbidity and socio-economic position (SEP) to trends in disability free life expectancy (DFLE) is unknown. We use longitudinal data from the Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies (CFAS I: 1991; CFAS II: 2011), with two year follow up. Disability was defined as difficulty in activities of daily living, and SEP as area-level deprivation. Multi-morbidity was constructed from nine self-reported health conditions and categorised as 0-1, 2-3, 4+ diseases. In 1991 and 2011, shorter total and disability-free years were associated with greater multi-morbidity. Between 1991 and 2011, gains in life expectancy and DFLE were observed at all levels of multi-morbidity, the greatest gain in DFLE being 4 years for men with 0-1 diseases. As multi-morbidity is more prevalent in more disadvantaged groups, further analyses will investigate whether SEP differences remain at all levels of multi-morbidity.
