The main symptoms of CTS are numbness, pain and tingling of the first three fingers and radial side of the ring finger, nocturnal awakening is due to pain and impaired fine motor control because of weakness of the hand. Until now, the study results in which conservative methods have been applied in the treatment of CTS are contradictory. CTS rehabilitation includes laser therapy, ultrasound therapy, manual therapy, neurodynamic techniques, functional massage, splint, exercises etc. Alternative treatments for CTS include: acupuncture, massages, the Chinese cupping massage. The aim of this review is to explain the current physiotherapy methods applied in CTS patients and the research results on this subject.","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83811908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We aim to overcome the challenges of the information society (Society 4.0) so far, overcome the sense of blockage through social change, and make each person comfortable and active. For people with disabilities, ICT is useful not only as a support device, but also as a driving force in labor for individuals with a sense of purpose to shift to independent living in the community. Therefore, since the ratification and entry into force of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2014), efforts to re-evaluate persons with disabilities as \"living people with support needs\" and to prepare a social support environment have been expanding. In Japan, a super-aging society where the disease structure has shifted to NCD, mortality is not the only outcome measure required for quality evidence-based care. It is necessary to have data to grasp the outcomes considering the viewpoints of service users and the social aspects of care, develop measurement scales, and connect them to the current care system operation. A comprehensive healthcare database can be expected to be constructed by adding Disability Database to EHR/PHR, which is medical big data, to enhance outcome information, and connecting mobile devices to incorporate the perspectives of patients, parties, and families. The main requirements for providing high-quality health, medical, welfare, and long-term care services for the QOL improvement measures of all individuals according to the actual conditions of each region toward the comprehensive community support system that will shift to 2025 will be: The national government needs \"(1) collection / disability of failure data / enhancement of comprehensive DB, (2) development of analysis model / human resource development utilizing comprehensive DB,\" and, what is needed for local governments is \"realization of efficient and effective measures to be carried out in collaboration with industry, government, academia and residents based on regional diagnosis utilizing big data such as comprehensive DB.\" In this way, we will be able to push forward with the promotion of DX through a comprehensive database toward a vibrant and advanced health country that Japan is aiming for in \"Healthcare 2035.\"","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89769120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Adolescents are positioning themselves as a group with their own needs from all areas of health, betting that the well-being of young people is an investment for the near future. Little is known about the nature of adolescents' occupational choices and how routines and lifestyles are installed. The challenges of this stage of life condition participation in occupations, to such a level that, from becoming involved in them, the interests and roles of adolescents are defined. The level of importance they attach to their activities would define their occupational routine based on the preferences of some activities over others. This research aims to define the differences in the level of importance that Chilean adolescents give to their occupations according to their gender. This study is quantitative in descriptive design. 109 Chilean adolescents who defined their daily occupations and the level of importance for each of them were evaluated. The Mann Whitney U test that compares two non-parametric samples was used. Regarding the results of this study, there are significant differences in the Play, especially in the play with friends, being the male adolescents those who give a higher level of importance to this type of play than their female peers. No significant differences were found by gender in Social Participation and Leisure activities, therefore, it could be said that adolescent men and women give the same level of importance to these occupations.","PeriodicalId":13982,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Family & Community Medicine","volume":"107 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81575410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
