Abstract: Low back pain (LBP) is a common complaint and health problem in Hong Kong, particularly among middle-aged individuals. LBP is the main cause of chronic disability which significantly affects the daily life activities of patients. Pain might result in repeated hospital admissions and subsequently increase the burden on health care providers in Hong Kong. LBP has an enormous effect on quality of life and therefore deserves research attention. Growing evidence shows that yoga may help reduce the level of chronic LBP in adult patients. However, no systematic review has been conducted to support the translation of this theory into practice. Therefore, this thesis aims to evaluate the current evidence on the efficacy of yoga in reducing chronic LBP among adult patients to achieve the following objectives: formulate an evidence-based protocol on yoga practice, assess the implementation potential of the formulated protocol, and develop implementation strategies and evaluation plan for the use of this protocol in a local public hospital in Hong Kong. Five databases were used for the systemic review of relevant studies. These databases were those of Cochrane Library, CINAHL Plus, PudMed, British Nursing Index and Medline (Ovid). A total of eight papers (randomized controlled trials) fulfilled the inclusion criteria of this study. The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) was used to extract the data and evaluate the paper quality. The findings of the selected papers indicated that yoga practice has a significant effect on reducing pain among adult patients with chronic LBP. The innovation is proposed to be conducted in an adult orthopedic and traumatoloy (O&T) ward. Evidence-based yoga guideline is developed to guide nurses in the effective implementation of the protocol. The SIGN grading system is chosen to grade the recommendations in the guideline. Adult patients with persistent LBP longer than three months are the target population. All study participants practice specific yoga postures under the supervision of yoga instructors and trained nurses in the outpatient clinic. These patients continue home practice for 30 minutes daily or at least twice a week. Based on the findings of the reviewed literatures and the adaptation of these findings into the proposed innovation, the feasibility of implementing evidence-based yoga guideline in the local clinical setting in Hong Kong is demonstrated. An effective communication plan is developed to gain support from stakeholders and efficiently implement the innovation. A two-month pilot study is designed to test the feasibility of the guideline. Pain level, which is the primary outcome of the study, is measured by using Pain Numerical Pain Scale (NRS). Evaluation will be completed after the pilot test and at the end of the whole programme and refinement of the protocol will be accomplished according if necessary. Protocol effectiveness will be determined by a decrease in back pain level after practicing yoga. Other outcomes include the knowledge and satisfactory level of the staff with regards to the protocol, as well as and the costs and benefits of program implementation.

Download or read book Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-07-12 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Social Security Administration (SSA) administers two programs that provide disability benefits: the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) program and the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. SSDI provides disability benefits to people (under the full retirement age) who are no longer able to work because of a disabling medical condition. SSI provides income assistance for disabled, blind, and aged people who have limited income and resources regardless of their prior participation in the labor force. Both programs share a common disability determination process administered by SSA and state agencies as well as a common definition of disability for adults: "the inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months." Disabled workers might receive either SSDI benefits or SSI payments, or both, depending on their recent work history and current income and assets. Disabled workers might also receive benefits from other public programs such as workers' compensation, which insures against work-related illness or injuries occurring on the job, but those other programs have their own definitions and eligibility criteria. Selected Health Conditions and Likelihood of Improvement with Treatment identifies and defines the professionally accepted, standard measurements of outcomes improvement for medical conditions. This report also identifies specific, long-lasting medical conditions for adults in the categories of mental health disorders, cancers, and musculoskeletal disorders. Specifically, these conditions are disabling for a length of time, but typically don't result in permanently disabling limitations; are responsive to treatment; and after a specific length of time of treatment, improve to the point at which the conditions are no longer disabling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, user-friendly medical yoga program designed for the management and prevention of osteoporosis, with more than four hundred illustrations. Osteoporosis leads to painful fractures due to loss of bone mass; yoga strengthens bones without endangering joints: it stands to reason that yoga is the perfect therapy for osteoporosis. Forty-four million Americans suffer from low bone mass, and osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually. Drugs and surgeries can alleviate pain, but study after study has shown that exercise is the best treatment, specifically low-impact, bone-strengthening exercises—hence, yoga. In this comprehensive and thoroughly illustrated guide, Loren Fishman and Ellen Saltonstall, who between them have seven decades of clinical experience, help readers understand osteoporosis and give a spectrum of exercises for beginners and experts. Classical yoga poses, as well as physiologically sound adapted poses, are presented with easy-to-follow instructions and photographs. The authors welcome readers of all ages and levels of experience into the healing and strengthening practice of yoga.
