Introduction. This multicentre prospective non-interventional observational study was conducted to obtain additional data about Odeston efficacy and safety in routine clinical practice. The objectives of the study included collection of clinical characteristics of patients, evaluation of Odeston effects in treatment of biliary pain and changes in the gallbladder emptying, evaluation of compliance to therapy, and treatment effect satisfaction.Materials and methods. The study was conducted from July 2020 to April 2021 at the premises of 60 study sites in 4 cities of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Patients having indications for Odeston administration according to the patient leaflet were enrolled. The study included 2 patient visits and an intermediate telephone contact. A visual analogue scale and RAPID questionnaire were used to characterise biliary pain; severity of associated symptoms, bowel habit and a quality of life according the SF-12 were also assessed. A rate of a ≥50 % reduction in symptom severity was used as a primary efficacy criterion; a rate of a ≥10 improvement in the SF-12 quality of life score was used as a secondary efficacy criterion. Compliance to treatment was evaluated using a number of days on Odeston. Treatment satisfaction was assessed using 5 grades.Results. 877 patients, 68.2 % of females and 31.8 % of males, were included in the study; the mean age was 46.0 ± 14.9 years. Primary functional biliary disorder was diagnosed in 65.3 % of patients, chronic non-calculous cholecystitis — 51.4 %, uncomplicated gallbladder disease — in 8.9 %, biliary sludge — 38.4 %, sphincter of Oddi functional disorder — 5.3 % of patients. A dose of Odeston was prescribed at the discretion of the physician. Group A patients received 600 mg (n = 89), group B received 1200 mg of Odeston a day (n = 788). In group B, an incidence of pronounced pain interference with daily living activities was higher. In both groups, the mean VAS scores were reduced to 1 point on treatment, a primary efficacy criterion was achieved in 77.3 % of patients in group A and in 79.8 % of patients in group B, р < 0.05. In both groups, a reduction in the incidence of constipation and diarrhea (р < 0,001) and an increase in the mean scores of physical and mental functioning were noted (р < 0.001, though a secondary efficacy criterion was not achieved (a ≥10 change in the SF-12 score). A prevalence of ultrasonographic sings of biliary sludge was reduced, and an increased gallbladder emptying was observed (p < 0.001). 77.4 % of patients in a total group of patients reported about drug administration for 21 days. A number of patients who were completely satisfied with treatment was higher in group B (p = 0.027).Conclusions. It was found that biliary pain interfered with daily living activities and commonly accompanied by other symptoms of gastrointestinal dysmotility. Odeston effectively reduces the severity of biliary pain, corrects dyspeptic disorders and normalizes stool pattern in patients with functional and organic diseases of the biliary system. Treatment satisfaction was higher with a dose of 1200 mg a day, particularly in more pronounced interference of pain with daily living activities.

AbstractStroke occurs when a blood vessel that carries oxygen and nutrients to the brain bursts or is blocked by a clot so that the brain does not get the blood it needs. Stroke affects physical limitations and disabilities in carrying out daily living activities. One of the rehabilitation interventions to increase daily living activities among them is propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Thisstudy aimed to describe the activity daily living in non-hemorrhagic post-stroke patients after propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation intervention. The selection of articles in the study usesthe PICO mnemonic. Searcharticles through the Indonesian Scientific Respirator Research, PubMed, GARUDA, and Google scholar with predetermined inclusion and exlusion criteria. The results show that propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation was proven in increase activity daily living in non-hemorrhagic post-stroke patients. The activity daily living was assessed using Barthel Index checklist. The average of Barthel Index before and after intervention were 42,493 and 75,372 respectively. The propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation has been shown to improve activity daily living in non-hemorrhagic post-stroke patients. Propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation can be a modality treatment to increase activity daily living in non-hemorrhagic post-stroke patients.Keywords: Activity Daily Living, Non-Hemorrhagic Post-Stroke, Propioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation AbstrakStroke terjadi ketika pembuluh darah yang mengangkut oksigen dan nutrisi menuju otak pecah atau terblokir oleh bekuan sehingga otak tidak mendapat darah yang dibutuhkan. Kejadian stroke memunculkan gangguan keterbatasan fisik dan kecacatan dalam melakukan activity daily living. Peran fisioterapi pada penderita stroke yaitu tindakan rehabilitasi yang dapat meningkatkan ADL salah satuya adalah propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran activity daily living pada pasien pasca stroke non hemoragic dengan pemberian propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation. Pemilihan artikel pada penelitian ini menggunakan mnemonic PICO. Penelusuran artikel melalui Neliti Respiratori Ilmiah Indonesia, PubMed, Garuda-Garba rujukan digital dan Google scholar dengan kriteria inklusi dan ekslusi yang telah ditentukan. Hasil literature review kelima artikel menunjukkan bahwa PNF terbukti meningkatkan ADL pada pasien pasca stroke non hemoragic dengan hasil rata-rata peningkatan sebesar 32.879 dengan menggunakan alat ukur indeks barthel sebelum intervensi 42.493 dan sesudah intervensi 75.372. Hasil literature review kelima artikel ini menunjukkan bahwa propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation terbukti dapat meningkatkan activity daily living pada pasien pasca stroke non hemoragic. Penetitian ini dapat digunakan sebagai dasar pengembangan praktisi fisioterapi pada masalah peningkatan activity daily living pada pasien pasca stroke non hemoragic dengan menggunakan latihan propioceptive neuromuscular facilitation.Kata Kunci: Activity Daily Living, Propioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, Pasca Stroke

Abstract Aim To investigate the effectiveness of tele-rehabilitation for children diagnosed with unilateral cerebral palsy. Method The design of this study is a narrative review. An electronic search was conducted for studies that related to tele-rehabilitation using the following databases: CINAHL, PubMed, MEDLINE, OTSeeker, and PEDro. The data extracted were analyzed by evaluating them according to the key results, limitations, suitability of the methods used to the initial hypothesis, interpretation of the results, and impact of the conclusions in the field. Results Out of 139 studies, 3 studies met the inclusion criteria. Further, manual searches of the references of included studies identified 2 more relevant studies. The interventions applied in those studies were web-based multi-modal therapy program using Move-it-to-improve-it (Mitii™), home-based hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (H-HABIT), and lower-extremity functional training (LIFT). The outcomes were executive functions, occupational performance, activity capacity, dexterity, quality of bimanual hand-use, functional goals, gait capacity, and performance. Conclusion Tele-rehabilitation is effective in improving the functions of the upper and lower extremities in daily living activities for children with unilateral cerebral palsy (UCP), aged between 2 to 18 years old, classified to levels I and II in GMFCS and levels I, II, and III in MACS. Webcam and good internet connection are essential requirements to conduct tele-rehabilitation. Children need to be contacted weekly via phone or e-mail for further follow-ups. Additionally, tele-rehabilitation may be considered one of the intervention strategies for patients who live in rural areas.

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.

BACKGROUND Mixed reality is an emerging technology allowing to "blend" virtual objects in the actual user's environment. A way to realize this is by using head-mounted displays. Many recent studies have suggested the possibility of using this technology to support the cognition of people with neurodegenerative disorders. However, most studies explored improvements in cognition rather than in independence and safety during the accomplishment of daily living activities. It is therefore crucial to document the possibility of using mixed reality to support the independence of older adults in their daily life. OBJECTIVE This study is part of a larger user-centered design study of a cognitive orthosis using pure mixed reality to support independence of people living with neurodegenerative disorders (NDs). The objectives were to explore: (1) What are the main difficulties encountered by older adults with NDs in their daily life to ensure that the pure mixed reality meets their needs; (2) What are the most effective interventions with this population in order to determine what types of assistance should be given by the pure mixed reality technology; (3) How should the pure mixed reality technology provide assistance to promote safety and independence at home; and (4) What are the main facilitators and barriers for the use of this technology. METHODS We conducted a descriptive qualitative study with 5 focus groups with experts of the disease and its functional impacts (n = 29) to gather information. Qualitative data from the focus groups was analyzed through an inductive thematic analysis. RESULTS The themes emerging from the analysis will provide clear guidelines to the development team prototyping a first version of a cognitive orthosis based on pure mixed reality. CONCLUSIONS The cognitive orthosis that will be developed in the light of this study will act as a proof of concept of the possibility of supporting people with neurodegenerative disorders using pure mixed reality.
