Cancer survivors were for long recommended to live a sedentary life as it was believed that vigorous exercise might provoke development of lymphedema. However, in the 1990ies it was found that the cancer survival rate was dependent on exercise level, and since then it has been proven, in breast cancer patients, that vigorous exercises is safe both for cancer survivors at risk of developing upper limb lymphedema and for those who already have one. Further research is needed for lower limb lymphedema, but there is reason to believe that exercise for these patients can be performed with similar protocol.","PeriodicalId":376273,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129548419","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}

Many immediately think of physical barriers like lack of wheelchair access, poor lighting, or limited transportation options. The framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) provides a structure for rehabilitation professionals to address context as a component of our health [1]. The context of a person’s life is made up of facilitators and barriers to activities and participation in the environment. Facilitators are factors in the environment that improve or reduce disability, while barriers limit functioning and create disability [2]. Sometimes we neglect to acknowledge the barriers that we place on ourselves psychologically or the barriers society places on us in terms of their perceptions of what we are able to do. As therapists, we must promote inclusiveness in our communities to maximize engagement and participation to increase quality of life and promote healthy habits and routines. As occupational therapists we should also promote not only role fulfillment, but also development of new roles and routines with our clients. Physical therapists should encourage clients to engage in new activities that sustain strength and mobility.","PeriodicalId":376273,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126167909","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}

In order to achieve the beneficial effects of sleep, literatures suggest the right number of hours of sleep that individuals should obtain which is seven hours of night sleep and eight to nine hours of daily sleep. This study aimed to determine whether there’s a correlation between sleep participation which includes the number of hours of sleep and school participation of allied medical students in terms of their grade point average. Descriptive correlational research design was used to achieve the aim of the study. The subjects were chosen via convenient sampling wherein questionnaires were distributed upon the approval of the department chair of Occupational Therapy of University Batangas. The study found out that the average number of hours of sleep of the students was not tied with their grade point average. This study also revealed that majority of the respondents, which constituted 57.5% sleep for only 6 hours. Although the relationship between number of hours of sleep and grade point average were inconclusive, it is still alarming that most of the students were not able to get the recommended amount of sleep. There is a possibility that number of hours of sleep can affect other areas of occupation, not necessarily the student’s school participation.","PeriodicalId":376273,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132045603","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}

The main objective was to evaluate the level of dependence of oncological patients with dyspnea.

The sample was recruited from the Medical Oncology Service of the University Hospital of Salamanca (CAUSA). We proceeded to refer patients to the occupational therapy program with the consequent inclusion of these in the study.

Ireland has one of the highest rates of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) in the world and is therefore an ideal population to study. 155 parents/guardians completed purposively designed quantitative questionnaires. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics including frequency distributions, measures of central tendency using excel; and bivariate relationships using SPSS. Physical presentation of this complex condition impacts on many aspects of children’s lives. The most prevalent level of spinal lesion was lumbar (27%) followed by lumbosacral (19%) and sacral (12%). 64% of children have a Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) shunt in situ. 69% of children required a wheelchair for mobility. Orthopaedic complications are high at 78%, increasing to 90% >10 years. 84% of all children required interventions to support their continence and urological health which increased to 93% for school aged children. Nearly all body systems are affected and require support. Although the underlying disability is present from birth, the implications and secondary complications of SB can be significant.
