Since the non‐traditional exercise of ice‐skating is proving to positively influence motor function and postural control, the purpose of this study was to explore whether the addition of an upper body sensory‐driven motor coordination task (stickhandling) would provide upper extremity neuromotor benefit among people with moderate PD. Methods: Seven non‐PD control (CTRL) and 22 PD (14 ON‐ICE, 8 OFF‐ICE) participants completed three trials of a reaching‐to‐eat (fine motor) task and a button‐push (gross motor) task, PRE‐and POST‐completion of two dynamic ‐ either on‐ or off‐ice ‐ stickhandling tasks. Reaching‐to‐eat and button‐push scores were compared between time periods (PRE, POST) and groups (CTRL, PD ON‐ICE, PD OFF‐ICE). Results: CTRL participants demonstrated higher scores when compared to the PD groups. Both PD groups demonstrated an improvement in reaching‐to‐eat and button‐push scores immediately following the intervention. Conclusions: These findings suggest that sport‐derived exercise programs may provide neuromotor benefit to people living with PD.","PeriodicalId":90841,"journal":{"name":"Healthy aging research","volume":"4 1","pages":"1–8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12715/har.2015.4.12","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66241254","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 examined the dynamic change of arthritis pain and depressive symptoms over time. We also addressed the influence of time varying arthritis pain on depressive symptoms and positive affect among community dwelling older individuals.Methods: Analyses were based on data from 4 annual follow-ups in a sample of 299 elderly residents (M=83.78) of Florida retirement communities. We estimated a hierarchical growth curve model that related the effects of time varying pain and characteristics of participants such as age, gender, cognitive functioning, emotional support and health. Growth curve modeling was used to assess changes in emotional well-being as a function of arthritis pain over time.Results: We found that depressive symptoms increased over 4 years whereas positive affect declined over 4 years with significant between-person differences in levels and slopes. As predicted, changes in arthritis pain co-varied with both depressive symptoms and positive affect over time. Gender, cognitive functioning, health conditions and emotional support from others were associated with between person differences in level of emotional well-being.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that conceptualization of emotional well-being of older adults as a dynamic, changing construct applies both depressive symptoms and positive affect. Findings also suggest that arthritis pain as well as emotional support contribute to depressive symptoms and to positive affect among older adults with arthritis.","PeriodicalId":90841,"journal":{"name":"Healthy aging research","volume":"4 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12715/har.2015.4.16","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35794060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

All of these can become chronic illnesses and are of major incidence with a grossly unmet need to improve their treatment.

It is in this context that Part II analyses abnormalities in TNF levels associated with disease, using AD as an example of the consequence that can arise from TNF‐induced changes in the brain. Parts I and II then provide support for clinical application of anti‐TNF therapy, which is discussed in Part III not only for treating the dementias, but also its great benefits in reducing long‐term pain during rehabilitation from traumatic brain injury or chronic stroke, areas where Perispinal Etanercept therapy holds special significance.","PeriodicalId":90841,"journal":{"name":"Healthy aging research","volume":"4 1","pages":"1–7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66240824","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 Jog Your Mind program encourages participants to become more physically active and is designed to promote cognitive vitality. This study aims to explore: 1) the effect of the program on PA; 2) the moderating and mediating effects of PA on the program's impact on cognition; and 3) the correlation between PA and various cognitive domains in participants prior to the start of the program. Methods: In total, 294 individuals aged 60 and over participated in the cognitive vitality promotion program immediately for the experimental group or one year later for the controls. They were evaluated using cognitive tests, questionnaires (MoCA, MIA, CVLT, RBMT, MMQ, QAA, Stroop) and PA instruments (an adapted version of the CHAMPS physical activity questionnaire and the 2‐minute step test). Correlations were made at the start of the study and multiple regressions were carried out to measure the impact of the program on PA. Results: Participation in the program was associated with an increase in PA (p< 0.05). However, analyses did not show a significant moderating or mediating effect of PA on cognition (p< 0.05). At the start of the study, the most active subjects obtained better results in terms of memory strategies (p< 0.05). Conclusions: These results show that a multifactorial program, including the promotion of PA, can lead participants to become more physically active. Further studies should be implemented to determine whether the practice of PA has a moderating or mediating effect on cognitive vitality.","PeriodicalId":90841,"journal":{"name":"Healthy aging research","volume":"4 1","pages":"1–19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66241268","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}

Recently, the focus in gerontology has expanded from the avoidance of agerelated decline to the promotion of healthy aging. Factors such as cognitive and emotional status are considered to be potential contributors to well‐being, and to participation in the community. This paper discusses the possible contribution of another factor ‐ a person's playfulness ‐ to healthy aging. Playfulness is a multidimensional concept that describes the mental propensity to engage in playful behavior, and includes properties such as fun‐seeking motivation, uninhibitedness, and spontaneity. Research suggests that playfulness facilitates healing, improves morale, and increases motivation. Thus, it can be speculated that playfulness relates to other indicators of well‐being, including psychological, cognitive, and physical aspects. Studies of the concept of playfulness mostly pertain to its measurement in young adults, with a paucity of research on older adult playfulness. In addition, the majority of research on Americans' health is “negative or disease‐oriented,” particularly in studies of older adults. There is compelling evidence that positive factors in individuals' lives, such as favorable emotions, happiness, life satisfaction, and quality of life relate intimately to healthy aging. Playfulness might be an important characteristic of cognitive functioning and emotional growth, which are both key components of healthy aging. This paper discusses the relationship and possible contribution of the concept of playfulness to the various indicators of healthy aging.","PeriodicalId":90841,"journal":{"name":"Healthy aging research","volume":"4 1","pages":"1–7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.12715/har.2015.4.8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66241872","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 aim of this study was to identify factors related to balance performance during gait in elderly persons after stroke. Methods: This study evaluated 60 old adults (mean age 68.7±7.06 years) living in the community after having suffered a stroke. Sociodemographic, clinical and functional data were collected and the following scales/tests were applied: National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE), Timed Up and Go with cognitive task (TUGcog), and the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI). After univariate analysis, variables were included in a multivariate logistic regression model. Patients were divided into two groups based on the DGI cut‐off point. Results: Individuals in the group performing worst on the DGI scale (≤19) were those who had suffered more serious stroke events according to NIHSS (p<0.001); they also had poorer cognitive function, as evaluated by MMSE (p<0.006), and the worst dual‐task performance, according to TUGcog (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, stroke severity (p<0.042) and dual‐task performance (p<0.007) remained significantly associated with balance during gait. Elderly persons with a DGI score ≤19 had lower average scores in tasks assessing gait with horizontal movements of the head, turning on own body axis, and ability to use stairs, whereas those with a DGI >19 had lower average scores in tasks assessing gait with horizontal and vertical movements of the head. Conclusions: Elderly persons' ability to perform dual‐tasks, and stroke severity, were factors associated with balance performance during gait. This highlights the importance of these aspects in the evaluation of balance in community‐dwelling elderly persons after stroke.","PeriodicalId":90841,"journal":{"name":"Healthy aging research","volume":"4 1","pages":"1–7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66241680","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}
