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.

Download or read book The Effect of Obesity in Self reported Disability Knee Pain and Isokinetic Quadriceps Strength in Knee Osteoarthritis written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions resulting in disability. The incidence of knee OA increases with age and will likely increase further as the population becomes more obese and less physically active. Therefore, the objectives of this thesis were 1) to observe whether self-reported disability should be obtained before or after performance-based tests, 2) to assess changes in knee pain and observe whether symptoms of depression predict worsening of knee pain, quality of life (QoL) and increased need for surgery and, 3) to examine changes in quadriceps muscle strength and knee pain after isokinetic muscle testing. In the first study, disability was measured using the WOMAC scores. Results indicated that all WOMAC scores were significantly higher after as compared to before the completion of performance-based tests and a physiologic test (VO2Peak). Obese individuals with knee OA were significantly worse compared to non-obese individuals with knee OA on all WOMAC scores. In the second study, the WOMAC pain subscale and VAS pain were significantly higher after as compared to before the completion of performance-based tests. The VAS ratings captured a significant increase in pain in both groups, but the WOMAC pain subscale only captured a significant change in the obese OA group. Depressive symptoms and BMI explained a significant proportion of variance in knee pain, quality of life and perceived need for surgery. The third study indicated that isokinetic quadriceps muscle strength was significantly different between obese and non-obese individuals with knee OA and compared to a healthy control group at all angular velocities of 60°/s, 90°/s and 120°/s, with the obese OA group demonstrating the lowest peak torque at all angular velocities. However, it was only at 60°/s that the isokinetic peak torque showed a statistically significant difference between the obese and the non-obese groups with knee OA. Likewise, knee pain increased from before to after isokinetic muscle strength testing, but only at the angular velocity of 60°/s. This thesis provides new information regarding the effect of obesity on self-reported disability, knee pain, depressive symptoms and quadriceps muscle strength in knee OA.

This book was released on 2013-03-28 with total page 658 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OBJECTIVES: To assess the association between intermediate and patient-centered outcomes and harms with physical therapy interventions in community-dwelling adults with chronic knee pain secondary to osteoarthritis and to examine validity and minimum clinically important differences of the tools for outcome measurement. DATA SOURCES: We searched major electronic bibliographic databases including MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, the Physiotherapy Evidence Database, and Allied and Complementary Medicine and trial registries up to February 29, 2012. REVIEW METHODS: We performed a systematic review of randomized and nonrandomized studies published in English to synthesize rates or means of measured pain, function, and quality of life with physical therapy interventions. Observational studies provided evidence of the association between changes in knee joint functional tests and patient-centered outcomes and minimum clinically important differences in validated tools for outcome measures. We performed meta-analyses of standardized mean differences using random effects models to synthesize the evidence. RESULTS: Of 4,266 retrieved references, 154 eligible references examined the association between patient-centered and intermediate outcomes and 422 eligible references examined physical therapy interventions. Of these, 193 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reported on knee pain, disability, quality of life, and functional outcomes after physical therapy interventions. Pooling criteria were met by 84 RCTs that provided evidence for 12 physical therapy interventions on pain (n = 58), physical function (n = 36), and disability (n = 29). Most studies reported physical therapy effects at followups of 3 months or less. Evidence on longer-term physical therapy effects was available for seven intervention-outcome pairs. Meta-analyses at the longest time of followup provided low-strength evidence that aerobic (n = 11) and aquatic exercise (n = 3) improved disability; aerobic exercise (n = 19), strengthening exercise (n = 17), and ultrasound (n = 6) reduced pain and improved function. Six of 11 individual RCTs demonstrated clinically important improvements in pain and disability with aerobic exercise. Pain relief was consistent in RCTs that reported physical therapist supervision of aerobic exercise. Diathermy, orthotics, and magnetic stimulation demonstrated no benefit. Limited direct comparative effectiveness evidence demonstrated similar benefits in disability measures with aerobic, aquatic, and strengthening exercise. Evidence from individual RCTs did not permit robust conclusions about which physical therapy interventions are most effective or whether differences in effect could be attributed to patient characteristics. Patients with high compliance to exercise tended to have better treatment responses. We found no association between the duration of examined interventions and better intermediate or patient-centered outcomes. Adverse events were uncommon and not severe enough to deter participants from continuing treatment. Gait, mobility restrictions, muscle strength, and range-of-motion measures were associated with disability measures in individual studies. Minimum clinically important differences in scales were determined for 26 tools but have not been used in RCTs to examine the clinical importance of improvements. The definition of the Patient Acceptable Symptom State that accounts for patient satisfaction was available for the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, the Visual Analog Scale for Pain, and the Patient Global Assessment Scale. CONCLUSIONS: Low-strength evidence suggested that core physical therapy interventions, including aerobic, aquatic, strengthening, and proprioception exercise, improved patient outcomes. Risk of bias in studies and heterogeneity in populations and physical therapy interventions downgraded the strength of evidence to low or moderate in most cases. Studies focused on a single modality of physical therapy rather than the combinations typically used in practice. Benefits with physical therapy interventions were not consistently evaluated according to the clinical importance of improvement in scales and tests. Adverse events were uncommon and not severe enough to deter participants from continuing treatment. Evidence about long-term adherence to and benefits of available physical therapy interventions is lacking.
