The effectiveness of home-based physical therapy on glycemic control and quality of life in adults with prediabetes

Background: Prediabetes is the preceding stage of diabetes which puts an individual to induce complications same as that of diabetes; hence, it should be treated to prevent its progression to diabetes and other consequences. However, there is very less literature about impact of home-based physical therapy on glycemic control and quality of life in Indian prediabetic population. Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate whether the home-based physical therapy shows effect on glycemic control and individual’s quality of life after a 3-month intervention. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 55 individuals who were diagnosed with prediabetes (36 males and 19 females) on basis of HbA1c level ranging from 5.7% to 6.4%. A 12-week exercise protocol was made which includes warm up exercises, main exercise program (aerobic and strengthening training), and cool down exercises along with dietary changes. SF-36 and HbA1c level is taken at baseline and at the end of 12 weeks for quality of life and glycemic control measures in participants, respectively. Results: The difference in HbA1c levels before and after treatment was found to be statistically significant. The HbA1c levels after the 3-month intervention showed significant reduction (P < 0.008) along with significant difference in all domain of SF-36 except in domain 3 (role limitation due to emotional problem) and domain 6 (social functioning). Conclusion: The home-based physical therapy program is effective in glycemic control and quality of life in adults with prediabetes.

Effect of home-based early intensive behavioral intervention using VB-MAPP on verbal ability in children with autism spectrum disorder / 四川精神卫生

BackgroundHome-based intervention occupies a prominent place in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder （ASD） in children， whereas previous studies on the effect of home-based early intensive behavioral intervention on verbal ability of children with ASD are somewhat inadequate. ObjectiveTo study the effects of intensive family behavioral of intervention based on Verbal Behavior Milestones Assessment and Placement Program （VB-MAPP） on the language ability of children with ASD， so as to provide references for the development of family intervention strategies for children with ASD. MethodsChildren aged 2 to 3 years old who attended the Children's Rehabilitation Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from September 2020 to December 2021 and met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5） diagnostic criteria for ASD were selected as the study objects. A non-randomized concurrent control trial was conducted to compare a study group （n=24） receiving home-based early intensive behavioral intervention using VB-MAPP with a control group （n=14） receiving training from other special institutions or early childhood education institutions. The intervention lasted for 6 months in both groups. Before and after the intervention， the VB-MAPP milestone assessment was performed in the two groups， and the VB-MAPP milestone score， mand， trac and listener responds were selected as the study indicators. Then the intervention effect was compared between two groups， and the multiple linear regression was performed to screen the related influencing factors. ResultsAfter intervention， the total milestone assessment score， mand， tact and listener responds scores of study group were higher than those of control group， with statistical difference （Z=-4.339~-2.195， P<0.05 or 0.01）. Multiple linear regression analysis denoted that the average weekly hours of home-based intervention in the first three months had certain effect on listener responds （β=1.029， P<0.05）. ConclusionApplication of home-based early intensive behavior intervention using VB-MAPP may contribute to the improvement of verbal abilities such as mand， tact and listener responds in children with ASD. ［Funded by 2020 Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Innovation Strategy Special Fund （number， 20200601）］

Research on the Existing Problems and Countermeasures of Home-based Elderly Care Services in China / 中国医学伦理学

At present, China’s response to the aging population situation is unprecedentedly urgent, and the construction and planning of the pension system face great challenges. Home-based elderly care services stand out in institutional-based elderly care and family-based elderly care due to their unique advantages in meeting the individual needs of the elderly. By sorting out the main types, policy lines, and supply and demand status of home-based elderly care service, this paper indicated that there are five aspects of problems in home-based elderly care service, including weak professional talent team construction, relatively insufficient capital investment, weak supply-demand matching, imperfect operating mechanism, and imperfect supporting facilities. It was proposed that in the future home-based elderly care services should strive to strengthen the construction of professional talent teams, widen financing channels, fully play the leading role of the government, perfect the operational mechanism and the construction of supporting facilities of home-based elderly care services, so as to provide reference for the optimization of the home-based elderly care service system in China.

Research on the Ethical Dilemmas of Nursing Robots Assisted Home-based Elderly Care: Based on Value Sensitive Design Theory / 中国医学伦理学

With aging population becoming increasingly prominent, more intelligent, integrated, and anthropomorphic nursing robots are becoming an important option for future home-based elderly care. However, a series of ethical dilemmas may arise when nursing robots that provide long-term services participate in the social life of the elderly as social entities. For example, the encroachment of low-level interaction between humans and nursing robots on the high-level interaction between humans, as well as the dispute over the definition of responsibility caused by unclear moral subjects. The value sensitive design theory advocates incorporating value into technical design, and based on its conceptual research, empirical research, and iterative approach, it can be found that the fundamental reason for the above-mentioned ethical dilemma lies in the confusion and dislocation of the ternary nursing relationship among human caregivers, the elderly, and nursing robots. Accordingly, this paper proposed to clarify the user status of the elderly and human caregivers, while nursing robots serve as auxiliary tools to meet the nursing needs of the elderly, protect and enhance the well-being of the elderly.

Advance in Home-based Rehabilitation after Spinal Cord Injury (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

Home-based rehabilitation can effectively reduce the clinical complications of patients with spinal cord injury and accelerate the recovery of neurological function, as well as reduce the heavy economic burden on healthcare system. Home-based rehabilitation has shown effectiveness in multiple studies. Neurofeedback could relieve the neuropathic pain of 40% home patients with spinal cord injury. Wearable technology could monitor and promote the recovery of hand motor function. Household portable stimulators and surface electrodes could inhibit unnecessary bladder activity and improve urinary incontinence. Strengthening stretching training at home could reduce shoulder pain in patients with chronic spinal cord injury. Using functional electrical stimulation at home could improve the muscle function of patients with spinal cord injury due to loss of neurotrophic muscle atrophy. There are still some disadvantages of home-based rehabilitation, such as complicated operation, expensiveness and not convenient to carry for training equipment, which need to be further developed.
