ABSTRACT
Objective:To review the categories of physical activities and rehabilitation exercise for aging people based on the theory and method of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Methods:From the framework and coding of ICF, physical activities, rehabilitation exercise and functional improvement for the aging people were reviewed. Results:There were three typical physical activities: physical fitness, skills and sports, mainly including regular exercises, cognitive amusements, leisure sports activities, recreational sports activities, rehabilitation exercises, etc. Physical activities promoted the functioning of the aging people, including mental function (b1), pain and sensory dysfunction (b2), cardiovascular, blood, the function of the immune system and respiratory system (b4), digestion, metabolism and function of the endocrine system (b5), nerve musculoskeletal function related to movement (b7), the function of skin and related structures (b8), activity (d4), and community, social and civic life (d9), etc., especially body mass index, cardiovascular, physical fitness (muscular strength and endurance, aerobic endurance), balance, flexibility, upper and lower extremities strength, sleep, metabolic capability, cognitive function and anti-aging ability. There were more gains at individual levels, including promotion of subjective happiness, quality of life, reducing depression, risk of sarcopenia, dementia and falling, etc. The environmental and personal factors related to activity and participation in physical activities included the products and technologies (e1), natural environment and man-made changes to the environment (e3), support and interpersonal relationships (e3), attitude, service system and policy (e5), such as urban environment, building environment, street pavement behavior, weather, caregivers, accompany of family and friends, etc. Conclusion:The physical activities and rehabilitation exercise the aged joined include physical fitness activities, skills activities, and sports activities. The physical activities had effects on the rehabilitation of the aged including the function of the body(mental function, pain and sensory dysfunction, cardiovascular, blood, the function of the immune system and respiratory system, digestion, metabolism, and function of the endocrine system, nerve musculoskeletal function related to movement, the function of skin and related structures) and the participation in activities (activities, community, society and civic life). The function of the body works for the health of the aged to promote physical health, mental health, functional health, social adjustment and social well-being.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES@#To study the efficacy of family rehabilitation treatment performed by parents under the guidance of professionals in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).@*METHODS@#In the prospective study, 60 children with ASD, aged 24-60 months, were randomly divided into an observation group and a conventional group. The parents of the children in the conventional group received an online training on basic knowledge and rehabilitation training of ASD alone, and those in the observation group received the online training and performed family rehabilitation treatment under the guidance of a professional team. Psycho-Education Profile Third Edition (PEP-3) and Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) were used to evaluate the changes in related abilities after intervention.@*RESULTS@#After 6 months of intervention, the scores of all dimensions of the PEP-3 scale in the observation group and most dimensions of the conventional group significantly increased (@*CONCLUSIONS@#An online training on basic knowledge and rehabilitation training of ASD for parents can improve the abilities and core clinical symptoms of children with ASD. The family rehabilitation treatment model with a team of professionals as the resource platform and parents as the performer has a more significant efficacy on improving the language, sports, and other abilities and alleviating the severity of the symptoms in children with ASD.

Objective:To analyze the categories and its relations of recreational physical activities and rehabilitation exercise for adult with disabilities based on the theory and method of International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Methods:An evidence-based scoping review had been implemented. We had developed the framework and coding approaches for recreational physical activities, rehabilitation exercise and functional improvement for the adults with disabilities based on evidence-based literature review. The literature related to recreational physical activities and rehabilitation exercise of adult with disabilities was searched by subject retrieval method. The retrieval database in Chinese included CNKI and Wanfang database, and the retrieval database in English included PubMed and Web of Science. The retrieval time was from establishment to July 31, 2020. The authors, countries, published time, published journals, research objectives, object of the study and their ages, data collection tool, and the key findings were extracted. Results:A total of 2476 literatures were returned, and 18 of them were enrolled, which were published in 14 countries, and most were published in journals on topics related to medicine, public health, exercise and people with disabilities. They were mainly published from 2010 to 2020, and mainly used questionnaire survey, measurement and interviewing method. There were three typical recreational physical activities: physical fitness activities, skills activities and sports activities, mainly including Taiji Quan, wheelchair basketball, leisure outdoor activities, community recreational sports activities and rehabilitation exercises, etc. According to the framework of ICF, recreational physical activities promote functional rehabilitation for adults with disabilities, including physical functions (b1 mental function; b4 cardiovascular, blood, the function of the immune system and respiratory system; b5 digestion, metabolism and function of the endocrine system; and b7 nerve musculoskeletal function related to movement), and activities and participation (d1 study and application of knowledge; d2 the general tasks and requirements; d4 activity; d5 self-care; d7 interpersonal communication and interpersonal relationship; and d9 community, social and civic life). The evidences showed benefits of improvement in the fields of body mass index, body index, athletic ability, balance ability, and cognitive function. There were more gains at individual levels, including support, coping with stress, self-concept development, life satisfaction, happiness, exercise self-efficacy, health perception, etc. The environmental and personal factors had effects on the performance of activity and participation in recreational physical activities, including e1 products and technologies, e4 attitude, e3 support and interpersonal relationships, e5 service system and policy, as well as attitudes and support of family members and colleagues, interpersonal relationships, social support, transportation, equipment and facilities, and policies. Conclusion:Rehabilitation exercise is an important part of health-related services. We scoped the recreational physical activities and its functional effects for adults with disabilities. The categories and structure of recreational physical activities and rehabilitation exercises were constructed based on ICF. Aligning rehabilitation exercises and relevant factors to ICF, the recreational activities and rehabilitation exercises had been reviewed and discussed and several recommendations for further studies had been drawn.
