This book was released on 2010 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: In an effort to determine if exercise does indeed help alleviate pain, the primary researcher examined the effects of exercise on 3 different aspects of pain (physical, psychological, and social) associated with spinal cord injuries (SCI). Six participants participated in 8 weeks of twice-weekly exercise; each session required the participant to complete 12 minutes of wheelchair propulsion around an indoor track and 50 minutes of resistance training. The group experienced an increase in measures of cardiorespiratory fitness (p = .043; p = .042; p = .029; p = .010) and an increase in muscular strength, measured by a one-repetition maximum (1-RM), for the chest press (p = .047) and deltoid press (p = .03) exercises; individual improvements were made in all resistance exercises with the exception of 1 participant in the chest press and biceps curl. No significant differences were observed in the levels of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, or social support.

Download or read book The Physiology of Exercise in Spinal Cord Injury written by J. Andrew Taylor and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-20 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, around the world, between 250,000 and 500,000 people suffer a spinal cord injury (SCI). Those with an SCI are two to five times more likely to die prematurely than people without a spinal cord injury, with worse survival rates in low- and middle-income countries. Dynamic aerobic requires integrated physiologic responses across the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, autonomic, pulmonary, thermoregulatory, and immunologic systems. Moreover, regular aerobic exercise beneficially impacts these same systems, reducing the risk for a range of diseases and maladies. This book will present comprehensive information on the unique physiologic effects of SCI and the potential role of exercise in treating and mitigating these effects. In addition, it will incorporate work from scientists across a number of disciplines and have contributors at multiple levels of investigation and across physiologic systems. Furthermore, SCI can be considered an accelerated form of aging due to the severely restricted physical inactivity imposed, usually at an early age. Therefore, the information presented may have a broader importance to the physiology of aging as it relates to inactivity. Lastly, the need for certain levels of regular aerobic exercise to engender adaptations beneficial to health is not altered by the burden of an SCI. Indeed, the amounts of exercise necessary may be even greater than the able-bodied due to ‘passive’ ambulation. This book will also address the potential health benefits for those with an SCI that can be realized if a sufficient exercise stimulus is provided.
Download or read book Lving with Spinal Cord Injury written by Dr. Adrian Cristian and published by Demos Medical Publishing. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 40% of all people with spinal cord injuries are now over the age of forty-five, and 25% have had their injury for twenty years or more. We now live at a time when medical advances have made it possible for those with spinal cord injuries to live an essentially normal life span, and to lead full, meaningful, and productive lives. As is true for their friends and colleagues, they work, raise families, and compete in sports. The wear and tear associated with aging and SCI means that these individuals must deal with the fact that the effects of normal aging are superimposed on those of the spinal cord injury, and activities that once might have been easy in many cases become increasingly difficult. Perhaps pushing a wheelchair up a hill or transferring in and out of a car is more challenging than it once was. Heart disease, pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and pressure sores are common health ailments specific to those with SCI; declining financial resources and aging caregivers are common social problems. This is the definitive guide to dealing with the major challenges faced by those with spinal cord injuries, as related to health, finances, and their social support system. It is primarily designed to identify medical and nonmedical problems that individuals may face as they live with SCI for a number of years. Medical issues are considered by body system and include discussions of the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, the gastrointestinal system, the urinary system, the musculoskeletal system, the skin, and psychological issues. Following these discussions of common medical issues related to SCI is a section that deals with mobility and transportation issues, including wheelchairs, the selection of vans and minivans, and the usefulness of a fresh look at rehabilitation issues. A section on managing finances includes a chapter on dealing with home health attendants while appendices provide information for caregivers, a glossary of commonly used terms in SCI, and a helpful list of resources. A wealth of practical advice by other people with spinal cord injuries as well as experts in the field has also been provided to help tackle the daily challenges faced by those with SCI. This book will bring a better quality of life to the reader living with SCI. Through vigilance and planning, a person with spinal cord injury can age gracefully and have a good quality of life for many years.
Download or read book Impact of Group Tele exercise on Physical Activity Determinants and Behavior in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury written by Laura Baehr and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical activity is crucial for health maintenance of individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), yet 50% of this population lead sedentary lives. Several modifiable challenges to physical activity behavior exist including inaccessible environments, negative body-self relationship, minimized exercise identity and knowledge. Digital health technologies, such as internet-based tele services, offer a potential platform to address these obstacles, but SCI-specific methods and evidence are needed. We developed an 8-week synchronous group tele-exercise program for individuals with SCI grounded by Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) to address societal barriers to exercise to influence individual determinants of physical activity behavior. Our feasibility study with 11 participants demonstrated 100% retention, high class attendance, and participant reports of increased exercise knowledge, confidence, and motivation. Given strong feasibility, the next step to evaluate the impact of this program was to assess the effects of group tele-exercise participation on physical activity determinants and behavior as identified by SCT in individuals with SCI. This clinically registered non-randomized trial [NCT05360719] used convergent mixed methodology. The single-group repeated measures design allowed for quantitative and qualitative assessment of primary measures at pre-program and following intervention completion (post-program), with an 8-week retention follow-up of quantitative assessments only. We hypothesized that exercise self-efficacy, exercise outcome measures, and moderative-vigorous leisure time physical activity (MVPA) behavior would significantly improve at post-program and benefits would be retained at retention. Congruence between numeric and thematic findings was present for exercise self-efficacy and self-evaluative exercise outcome expectations. Improved exercise self-efficacy was influenced by exercise knowledge gained during program participation. Increased expectations of internal exercise outcomes, such as influence on psychological state and overall mood, occurred following program participation. Themes on program-specific elements that facilitated increased intentional movement throughout daily life including portability and sustainability were not reflected in MVPA numeric assessment. This study is a critical first step toward systematically evaluating the effect of group tele-exercise on physical activity behavior for individuals with SCI and provides an important framework for the future evaluation of this program in randomized controlled trials. These findings demonstrate that this group tele-exercise program can positively influence critical SCT-driven personal determinants of physical activity behavior and has the potential to facilitate increased physical activity behavior.
Download or read book Increasing Physical Activity Participation in Individuals with a Spinal Cord Injury Through the Use of Online Technology written by Kelly E. Ravenek and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Problem: Persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) face many barriers to physical activity (PA) participation. Research has demonstrated that participating in physical activity can have positive benefits for both quality of life (QOL) and reducing the risk of secondary health complications. Physical activity programs offered over the Internet have not been extensively researched, but may provide a solution to assist persons with SCI in overcoming barriers to PA participation. Methods: This integrated article dissertation focused on the feasibility of persons with SCI participating in a ten week exercise study delivered over the Internet to determine the impact of exercise on their quality of life and satisfaction with physical function, as well as their total number of PA participation minutes. The QOL outcome measures chosen for the study were selected based on a systematic review of QOL measures used in various PA interventions with persons with SCI. One additional aspect of this research was a comparison between a counseling group (online PA classes and four counselling sessions) and an active control group (online PA classes only) to determine differences in PA participation minutes and social cognitive predictors of PA participation. Results: With respect to participant satisfaction, it was determined that PA classes delivered over the Internet was a feasible delivery method. In each of the six domains of participant satisfaction, the median score was highly satisfied (4/4). The mean score for all participants also increased in each of the seven domains on the Satisfaction with Physical Function Survey from baseline to follow-up. On the Delighted/Terrible scale, 87% of the participants were 'pleased' or 'delighted' with the physical and psychological changes they perceived from participating in the intervention. In the counseling and control group study, there was a multivariate effect of group in the area of action planning. More specifically, the counseling group was better able to create action plans at all measurement time points compared to the control group. There were no statistically significant differences in total PA participation minutes between the two groups, nor were there differences in QOL over the length of the intervention. Conclusions: Physical activity programs offered over the Internet may be a feasible and acceptable delivery method for persons with SCI who may face barriers to PA participation. Participating in PA can result in positive perceptions of physical and psychological changes for persons with SCI.

This book was released on 2017-09-28 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Abstract] This research investigates "the experience of losing the effects of exercise after an injury." Since the question arose from my personal experience, the heuristic research model was used. Significant heuristic concepts were used and included the six phases of heuristic study: initial and creativw synthesis. The literature review was formulated by words from the research question and showed no identical work addressing this particular question. Data was collected from the experiences of six co-researchers as well as my own personal experience. Its analysis revealed the following nine themes: stress reliever, physical components, emotional components, social connection, pain, exercise modification, loss and lessons learned. The identified themes depicted ways that individuals benefited from the effects of exercise coped with the loss of these effects after suffering an injury. The findings within the study may be utilized among professionals in the field of physical therapy, clinical psychology, physicians, and any exercise enthusiast who have suffered a debilitating injury.

Download or read book The Psychological Benefits of Exercise and Physical Activity written by Jennifer L. Etnier and published by Human Kinetics. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the demands of an increasingly complex society, more and more individuals are turning to exercise to promote their psychological well-being. The Psychological Benefits of Exercise and Physical Activity explores the psychological outcomes that are known to be affected by physical activity behaviors. Rooted firmly in foundational science, the text offers opportunities for self-reflection and application, with an emphasis on physical activity recommendations and dose–response relationships supported by research. Whereas most exercise psychology texts center around psychological theory or interventions, The Psychological Benefits of Exercise and Physical Activity focuses on psychological outcomes, such as the effects on depression and anxiety, as well as the impact on cognitive performance, memory, pain, and sleep. Written by Jennifer L. Etnier, PhD, who previously served as president of the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA), the full-color text includes engaging illustrations to help students visualize complex information, and the content is organized to be delivered in a semester-long course. The introductory chapters (chapters 1-3) set the stage with the history of exercise psychology, theories, and mechanisms proposed to explain research terminology and psychological benefits of exercise. In the remainder of the text (chapters 4-14), each chapter is dedicated to a particular outcome or psychological aspect. Each of these chapters begins with a vignette that provides a real-world example of why questions of exercise and the outcome are important. These chapters uncover the causes of particular psychological conditions and explore how exercise might affect those causes. Next, key research on the potential benefits of exercise for that specific psychological concern is examined. Each chapter closes with a chapter summary and discussion questions. Throughout the text, sidebars introduce thought-provoking ideas, provide opportunities for self-reflection, or describe interesting research studies that will help engage students. The text also includes learning objectives and key terms to further enhance student learning. The Psychological Benefits of Exercise and Physical Activity offers students a comprehensive overview of how the mind benefits from physical activity behaviors. It is an essential text for any person interested in motivating others and promoting physical activity for beneficial psychological outcomes.
