Upper Extremity Function

The main objective of this study was to quantify the effects ofweight bearing on upper limb function in children with hemiplegic cerebralpalsy. This study also sought to monitor the change in spasticity immediatelyfollowing weight bearing exercises. A  quasi-experimental, one group pre-test,post-test design was used. Eleven children with hemiplegic type of cerebral palsyfrom a special school in KwaZulu Natal participated after fully informed consentof the caretaking guardian. The intervention consisted of a standardized programof weight bearing. The Melbourne A ssessment of Upper Extremity function wasused to quantify upper extremity function of reach, grasp and manipulation and the modified A shworth grading of spasticity was used to grade and monitor spasticity. The data was analysed using the Wilcoxon signed rank test.  A  significant decrease in spasticity during elbow extension (p= 0,004), wrist flexion (p=0,026) and extension (p=0,004)was noted. Statistically significant improvement in function, reach (p=0, 00), grasp (p=0, 02) manipulation (p=0, 05)and overall quality of function (p= 0,003) was also found. A n overall significant effect of weight bearing exercises onupper extremity function was noted providing evidence for practice.

Upper Extremity Function

BACKGROUND: Impaired upper extremity function due to muscle paresis or paralysis has a major impact on independent living and quality of life (QoL). Assistive technology (AT) for upper extremity function (i.e. dynamic arm supports and robotic arms) can increase a client’s independence. Previous studies revealed that clients often use AT not to their full potential, due to suboptimal provision of these devices in usual care. OBJECTIVE: To optimize the process of providing AT for impaired upper extremity function and to evaluate its (cost-) effectiveness compared with care as usual. METHODS: Development of a protocol to guide the AT provision process in an optimized way according to generic Dutch guidelines; a quasi-experimental study with non-randomized, consecutive inclusion of a control group (n= 48) receiving care as usual and of an intervention group (optimized provision process) (n= 48); and a cost-effectiveness and cost-utility analysis from societal perspective will be performed. The primary outcome is clients’ satisfaction with the AT and related services, measured with the Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with AT (Dutch version; D-QUEST). Secondary outcomes comprise complaints of the upper extremity, restrictions in activities, QoL, medical consumption and societal cost. Measurements are taken at baseline and at 3, 6 and 9 months follow-up.

The  major  objective  of  this  study  was  to  quantify  the  effects  of a  12-week  program  of  weight  bearing  exercises  on  weight  borne  through  the hand and grip pressures in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. This study also sought to monitor the change in spasticity immediately following weight-bearing  exercises.  A  quasi-experimental,  one  group  pre-test,  post-test  study  was used. Eleven children with hemiplegic type of cerebral palsy from a special school in KwaZulu Natal participated after fully informed written consent. The intervention consisted of a 12-week program of weight bearing. The Tekscan Grip system was used to quantify weight borne through the hand during extended arm prone and quadruped positions and whilst holding a pencil and a tumbler. The modified Ashworth grading of spasticity was used to monitor spasticity. The data was analysed using the random effects GLS model Wald Chi Square test. Significant increases in contact pressure in extended arms prone (p=0,012) and quadruped (p=0,002) and when holding a pencil (p=0,045) was noted post-test compared to pre-test. Significant increases in contact area of the hand was also noted in prone (p=0,000), quadruped (p=0, 03 at assessment 7) and when holding a pencil (p=0,035).  A significant decrease in spasticity during elbow extension (p=0,004), and wrist flexion (p=0,026) and extension (p=0,004) was noted. An overall significant effect of static weight bearing exercises on weight borne through the hands, grip strength and spasticity justifies the use of static weight-bearing in therapy.

Any changes in the system of an organization could be stressful. Having hardiness would be important to deal with a problem. This study aims to seek out the effectiveness of hardiness training in improving problemsolving. A quasi-experimental design with one group pretest-post test design was applied. There were sixteen employees of various organizational divisions enrolled in this study. Data were collected before and after the six-session of hardiness training using the Brief COPE scale and the Dispositional Resilience Scale (DRS-15) developed by Bertone. Results from the Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed that there was no significant difference in the attitude of the effectiveness of problem-solving among employees before and after training (p>0,05). However, there were differences in knowledge of understanding hardiness before and after training. (p=.002, p>0,05). It can be concluded that hardiness training could increase the knowledge about hardiness; but not the attitude toward problem-solving.

Increasing globalization makes humans need the knowledge to compete globally. One way to increase knowledge is by reading. Reading comprehension is the process of interpreting a reading in order to gain a thorough knowledge of the passage. Therefore it is necessary to consume beverages to improve energy and cognitive function. In this study, the researcher used yellow turmeric rhizome steeping as an enhancer of cognitive function. The objective of this research was to determine the effect of consuming yellow turmeric rhizome steeping on the cognitive function which is reading comprehension. This study was quasi-experimental, comparative using pretest and post-test design, conducted on 30 men aged between 18-22 years. Participants were asked to do a reading comprehension test (pretest) than consume 200 cc of water mixed with 10 grams of yellow turmeric rhizome powder. Participants took rest for 90 minutes and asked to do a reading comprehension test (post-test). The measured data was the reading comprehension test score, in the form of a correct answer of 10 questions. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The average score of correct answers increased very significantly, before consuming yellow turmeric steeping was 47,33 to 73,33 after consuming yellow turmeric rhizome steeping with p < 0,001. Therefore yellow turmeric rhizome steeping increases reading comprehension.

Stoma Care

The family can be involved in the patient's stoma care, so the family is expected to be able to monitor and help the patient to achieve self-care. Stoma is a bowel hole that appears on the surface of the abdomen in the reddish mucosa form. One way to increase family knowledge is by providing education. Education is an intervention that can help patients and families to maintain stoma health with appropriate care. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of education on the ability of families on the treatment of stomas in patients undergoing colostomy at the General Hospital H. Adam Malik Medan. This research is a quantitative analytic study with a quasi-experimental research design by the pre and post test treatment groups. The population in this study were 71 people. A sample of 42 respondents representing the families of patients who had a colostomy at the General Hospital H. Adam Malik Medan. In this study, the analysis used is the Willcoxon Signed Rank Test, with p value <0.05. The average value of ability of the family before being educated was 2.00 and a range of 2 to 3. This shows that the ability of familieswas less in caring for stoma while the ability after being educated was of 3.00 and a range of 3 to 3. Its means that the family was able to perform stoma care for his family who had a colostomy. From the differences in the median value and probability was p <0.05.  It can be concluded that education has an effect on increasing the ability of families in stoma care in patients undergoing colostomy.
