WK1 - intro, conceptual frameworks and evidence Flashcards
What does ICIDH stand for?
International Classification of Impairment, Disability and Handicap (WHO, 1908)
from 1892-1979 only ICD, not ICIDH
What is the flow chart order from Disease/disorder to Handicap?
- Disease/disorder
- impairments
- disability
- handicap
impairments can go straight to handicap
Provide an example of ICIDH.
Spina Bifida
–> Impaired sensation, muscle power (paresis)
–> inability to walk
–> building w/out lifts, inaccessible
second arrow can lead straight to last arrow
Why was the ICIDH needed?
to provide structure and language for describing health and health related states
provides conceptual framework for info by enabling classification, and description of the three dimensions of the phenomenon of “disablement” (as a consequence of disease, injury or congenital condition).
What does ICF stand for? And does its purpose differ from ICIDH?
International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health
Purpose remains the same - provides structure and language for describing health and health related states.
What are the main differences between ICF and ICIDH? Provide an example.
- use of neutral terms
- complexity of interactions are captured
ICIDH = disease - impairments - disability - handicap
ICF = health condition - body functions and structures - activity - participation
What is the structure of ICF?
Refer to slide 7 from WK1 PPT slides.
health condition
- participation, activity, body function/structure
activity is affected by environmental and personal factors.
Define health conditions in the ICF Model.
Trauma (spinal/brain injury, amputation), cogenital/genetic (CP, MS, parkinsons), disease (polio, aids, menigacoccyl)
Define body functions/structures in the ICF Model.
Body functions = physiological functions of body systems, include psychological functions (e.g. CV, neural, visual and attention)
Body structures = anatomical parts and their components (e.g. brain, spinal cord, heart and eyes)
Define impairments.
problems with body functions or structures (e.g. impaired muscle power, proprioception/touch, attention, memory, vision, hearing, BP)
Define activity in the ICF Model.
The execution of task/action by person and activity limitations (AL) are difficulties an individual has in executing an activity (e.g. reading, writing, problem-solving, walking, pushing, lifting, carrying, running, jumping, swimming, toileting, dressing, eating, drinking)
Define participation in the ICF Model.
Involvement in life situation and participation limitations (PL) are proboems an individual experiences in a life situation (e.g. interpersonal interactions (interacting in groups, forming intimate relations); acquiring/keeping job, basic economic transactions (e.g. shopping), watching, listening/ acquiring skills
Define environmental factors within the ICF Model.
- considers the physical, social and attitudinal environment - where people live and conduct their lives.
e.g. access to products/technology for communication, education, culture recreation and sport. The physical geography and built environment (parks, footpaths etc). Support and relationships from family, friends and AHP.
Define personal factors of the ICF Model.
background of individual - age, gender, race, interests, goals, health behaviours, PA, education, routine, commitments, finances, character.
Where are the terms “functioning” and “disability” represented in this structure?
They are represented within each of the factors as limitations.
- impairment
- activity limitation
- participation restriction
Is professional practice of Ex sci/phys different for people with neurological impairments?
Yes and No
Our job continues to use exercise to help promote independence and aid them with activites that they struggle completing.
However, there are additional considerations that may influence the performance and effectiveness of the prescribed exercise program.
What is the difference in neurological recovery (stroke) - recovery from paresis in stroke?
Slide 19
Kreisel, S H et al, 2007
Initially mild deficits - least amount of days to recover but degree of motor recovery is highest 90%
Initially moderate deficits - amount of days to recover is inbetween mild and severe. Degree of motor recovery is inbetween 50-60%
Initially severe deficits - longest amount of Rx time, degree of motor recovery is the lowest <10%
Explain the difference of function Rx following TBI between conventional/intensive group.
Slide 20
Conventional group - lower % of patients who achieved a max. FIM (functional independence measure) score.
Intensive group - higher % of patients who achieved a max. FIM score
Statistical significance demonstrated at 3M
Zhu, X. L, et al, 2007
What is the alternative implication of evidence of the FIM graphs from stroke / TBI recovery?
Neurological impairment not only directly affects health/fitness and function, it leads to a profound decrease in PA - people with neurological impairments are some of the most inactive members of society.
What does chronic inactivity mean?
- decrease health (CVD, depression, diabetes etc)
*fitness (lower strength, aerobic/anaerobic capacity, body composition) - increase activity limitations (transferring, pushing wheelchair etc)
The effects of inactivity are large and compound effects that neuro-impariments has on health, fitness and activity limitations.
What is the relationship between volume of habitual PA and health, fitness and functioning benefits conferred?
Strong evidence of dose-response relationship.
Volume of PA = dose
PA = timeintensityfrequency
What is the recommended dose of PA for people with disabilities?
Aerobic = 30min3METs5days = 450MET.min/wk
However some evidence that optimal doses may be 3-5times that amount (1350-2250 MET.min/wk)
Strength 2days RT, all major muslce groups
Most with neurological impairments are not achieving guidelines (they are well below)
