Correlation between postoperative cardiac risks factors, functionality and hospital length of stay / Correlação entre os fatores de risco cardíaco pós-operatórios, funcionalidade e tempo de internação

INTRODUÇÃO: Cardiac surgery (CS) may be associated with several organic repercussions responsible for the appearance of cardiac risk factors during the postoperative period. These, associated with prolonged hospital length of stay (LoS), may trigger critical manifestations in individuals undergoing this surgical procedure. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationships between postoperative cardiac risk factors, LoS, and changes in functioning state. METHODS: Patients undergoing reconstructive, substitutive, or corrective cardiac surgeries were evaluated. The presence of postoperative cardiovascular risks was assessed using the InsCor score, while LoS and functionality were collected from medical records. RESULTS: One-hundred patients with a mean age of 59.2±12.3 years were included. Significant correlations between functionality and both the hospital and Intensive Care Unit (ICU) LoS (p<0.0001, ρ=0.56; p=0.002, ρ=0.29, respectively), as well as between hospital LoS and the number of comorbidities (p=0.003, ρ=0.28) were found. No significant relationships were observed between the number of postoperative risk factors and LoS. CONCLUSION: Functionality and comorbidities are associated with increased hospital and ICU LoS in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

INTRODUÇÃO: A cirurgia cardíaca (CC) pode estar associada a diversas repercussões orgânicas responsáveis pelo surgimento de fatores de risco cardíaco no pós-operatório. Estas, associadas ao tempo de internação hospitalar (TIH) prolongado, podem desencadear manifestações críticas em indivíduos submetidos a esse procedimento cirúrgico. OBJETIVO: Investigar a correlação entre os fatores de risco cardíaco pós-operatórios em CC, funcionalidade e o (TIH). MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados pacientes submetidos a CC reconstrutivas, substitutivas ou corretivas. A presença de riscos cardiovasculares pós-operatórios foi avaliada pelo escore da InsCor, enquanto o TIH e a funcionalidade foram coletados em prontuários médicos. RESULTADOS: Cem pacientes com idade média de 59,2±12,3 anos foram incluídos. Correlações significativas entre funcionalidade e TIH total e na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) (p<0.0001, ρ=0.56; p=0.002, ρ=0.29, respectivamente), bem como entre o TIH e o número de comorbidades (p=0.003, ρ=0.28) foram encontradas. Não foram observadas correlações significativas entre o número de fatores de risco pós-operatórios e o TIH. CONCLUSÃO: O número de alterações funcionais e o número de comorbidades estão associados ao aumento do TIH total e na UTI em pacientes submetidos à CC.

Avaliação de incapacidade em pessoas com doença falciforme / Disability assessment in people with sickle cell / Evaluación de la discapacidad en personas con enfermedad de células falciformes

A expectativa de vida das pessoas com doença falciforme (DF) é baixa, e o agravamento da condição de saúde é frequente, gerando incapacidades. Todavia, pouco é conhecido sobre tais incapacidades com base na Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF). Assim, o objetivo do estudo foi descrever as incapacidades de adultos com DF. Realizou-se um estudo transversal descritivo, com 60 adultos com DF, de ambos os sexos. Informações sociodemográficas, fatores clínicos relacionados ao tipo de DF foram autorreferidos pelos participantes. As incapacidades foram avaliadas por meio da Escala de Avaliação de Incapacidade da Organização Mundial da Saúde (WHODAS 2.0) nos seguintes domínios: cognição, mobilidade, autocuidado, relações interpessoais (convivência com as pessoas), atividades de vida e participação na sociedade. Em cada domínio, foi definida incapacidade quando o sujeito relatou dificuldade leve, moderada, grave ou extrema de desempenhar a tarefa. Os dados foram analisados por estatística descritiva (frequências relativas). Os resultados mostraram valores elevados em todos os domínios avaliados, com destaque para dificuldades de concentração (90%) e desempenho nas tarefas domésticas (93,3%) e impacto da situação de saúde nas finanças do sujeito/família (96,7%). Os dados deste estudo mostraram que adultos com DF apresentam elevados índices de incapacidade, especialmente no domínio cognitivo, nas atividades de vida e na participação social.

Life expectancy of people living with sickle cell disease (SCD) is in general low and the worsening of their health condition is frequent, resulting in disabilities. However, knowledge about those disabilities based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is scarce. Thus, this study aimed to describe the disabilities of adults with SCD. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with 60 adults with SCD of both sexes. Sociodemographic and clinical factors related to the type of SCD were self-reported by the participants. Disabilities were assessed by the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0), in the following domains: cognition, mobility, selfcare, getting along with people, life activities, and participation in society. In each domain, disability was defined when the participant self-reported light, moderate, severe, extreme difficulty, or inability to perform the task. Data analysis included descriptive statistics (relative frequencies). The results showed high values in all domains evaluated, with emphasis on difficulties on concentrating (90%) and performing household chores (93.3%) and on the impact of health condition on subject/family's financial situation (96.7%). The data from this study shows that adults with SCD present high disability levels, especially on the cognitive domain, on life activities, and on social participation.

The development of special education focuses on tailored educational services for those children who need additional support and resources. Policies underscore the need to evaluate the specific needs of children with disablities and provide individualized educational plan based on these needs. ConclusionBased on core content from the CRPD, UNESCO's guidelines, and relevant policies from China, the EU, and the US regarding the education and educational placement services for children with special needs, the theoretical framework and principles of educational placement for children with special needs based on ICF are discussed, proposing contents and methods for constructing a multi-faceted educational placement service system for children with special needs.

Content and psychometric properties of children's motor function and activity measurements using ICF / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective To analyze the content and psychometric properties of measurement tools for children's gross motor function and activity. Methods Six measurement tools for children's gross motor function and activity were selected,including Gross Motor Function Measure(GMFM),Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition(BOT-2),Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-Second Edition(PDMS-2),Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition(MABC-2),Test of Gross Motor Development-Third Edition(TGMD-3)and Functional Movement Screen(FMS).International Classification of Functioning,Disability,and Health(ICF)linking rules,categories and coding were used to analyze the content of measurement dimensions and items of these six tools,and their psychometric properties were explored. Results For the body function,the content of these six tools primarily addressed neuromusculoskeletal and movement-re-lated functions(b7),such as mobility of joint functions(b710),stability of joint functions(b715),muscle power functions(b730),motor reflexes functions(b750),control of voluntary movement functions(b760),supportive functions of arm or leg(b7603)and gait patterns functions(b770).For the activities and participation,the content primarily addressed mobility(d4),such as changing and maintaining body positions(d410,d415),transferring oneself(d420),walking(d450),running(d4552),and jumping(d4553).GMFM was good in inter-rater and test-retest reliability;BOT-2 was good in inter-rater reliability,test-retest reliability and internal consistency;PDMS-2 was good in inter-rater and test-retest reliability;MABC-2 was good in test-retest reliability and internal consis-tency with an excellent model fit;TGMD-3 was good in internal consistency and test-retest reliability;and FMS was good in internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Conclusion The six tools for motor and activity function measurement primarily concern neuro-musculoskeletal and movement-related functions(b7)for ICF body function,and mobility(d4)for activities and participation.PDMS-2 is suggested for a comprehensive evaluation of children's motor functions and activities;TGMD-3 and GMFM for gross motor functions;and BOT-2,MABC-2 and FMS for motor development,coordination and functional movement patterns.BOT-2,PDMS-2,MABC-2 and TGMD-3 are norm-referenced measures,whereas GMFM and FMS are criterion-referenced.Norm-referenced tools,due to their established norms tailored for various ob-jectives,boast superior psychometric properties and wider applications.All the six tools exhibit good to excellent reliability,and internal consistency coefficients ranging from moderate to excellent.Their validity also spans from moderate to excellent.

Rehabilitation interventions targeting the activity and participation of patient with neuromuscular diseases: what do we know? A systematic review / Reabilitação com foco na atividade e participação para pessoas com doenças neuromusculares: o que sabemos? Uma revisão sistemática

Abstract Background To be objective and achievable, the rehabilitation goals must be focused on the functional expectations of patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD). Objective Investigate rehabilitation programs that are able to modify the activity/participation of patients with NMD. Data search: Embase, BVS/Lilacs, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), CINAHL/EBSCO, and Medline were searched in June 2021. It was last updated in March 2023. Methods Randomized controlled trials investigating any rehabilitation therapy for patients with NMD with an outcome encompassing the activity/participation components of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) were included. Pharmacological therapy studies were excluded. The results were synthesized according to the ICF core sets for NMD. The methodological quality and level of evidence were assessed using PEDro criteria and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). This systematic review followed the PRISMA 2020 guideline and was registered at PROSPERO (CRD42020209359). Results Of a total of 1943 identified studies, 12 were included in this review with a methodological quality between regular and good. Light to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise was the most studied intervention. The mobility was assessed in all included studies. Conclusion The variability of the types of NMD and the small sample size of the included studies demonstrates that there is very limited evidence of interventions focused on the activity/participation of individuals with NMD. Light to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise seems to improve the mobility, self-care, and social participation of patients with NMD, especially those with slow progression.

Objetivo Investigar programas de reabilitação capazes de modificar a atividade/participação de pessoas com DNM. Foi realizada busca nas bases de dados: Embase, BVS/Lilacs, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), CINAHL/EBSCO e Medline em junho/2021. A última atualização foi realizada em março de 2023. Métodos Foram incluídos estudos clínicos randomizados investigando qualquer terapia de reabilitação para pessoas com DNM com desfecho voltado para atividade/participação da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade e Saúde (CIF). Terapias farmacológicas foram excluídas. Os resultados foram sintetizados de acordo com os Core Sets da CIF para DNM. A qualidade metodológica e o nível de evidência foram avaliados usando os critérios PEDro e Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). Esta revisão sistemática foi registrada na PROSPERO (CRD42020209359). Resultados De 1943 estudos identificados, 12 foram incluídos com uma qualidade metodológica entre regular e boa. O exercício aeróbio de intensidade leve a moderada foi a intervenção mais estudada. A mobilidade foi avaliada em todos os estudos incluídos. Conclusão A variabilidade dos tipos de DNM e o baixo número amostral dos estudos incluídos contribuem para uma evidência muito limitada de intervenções focadas na atividade/participação de pessoas com DNM. O exercício aeróbio de baixa a moderada intensidade parece melhorar a mobilidade, autocuidado e participação de pessoas com DNM, especialmente para as DNM de progressão lenta.

Aplicação das regras de vinculação da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde com a Avaliação Geriátrica Ampla / Linking the content of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment of a reference center for the health of the elderly with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

Objetivo: Vincular o conteúdo da Avaliação Geriátrica Ampla (AGA) de um centro de referência na saúde da pessoa idosa com a Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF) e apresentar seu Conjunto Básico de categorias da CIF. Método: A AGA foi vinculada à CIF por dois especialistas, treinados de acordo com as regras de vinculação estabelecidas. A concordância entre os especialistas foi determinada com base no índice kappa de Cohen. Resultados: A concordância entre os especialistas foi considerada perfeita para cada domínio da CIF (k= 0,91; p<0,00; concordância= 93,32%). A AGA continha 419 itens, sendo que 106 não puderam ser vinculados à CIF, por estarem associados a condições de saúde ou não se enquadrarem nas categorias da CIF. Foi verificado que 313 estavam ligados aos domínios da CIF e que 181 (60,13%) estavam relacionados às funções do corpo, 18 (5,98%) às estruturas do corpo, 73 (24,258%) à atividade e participação, 30 (9,97%) a fatores ambientais e 11 (3,51%) aos fatores pessoais. Conclusões: A CIF pode ser inserida em contextos específicos dos serviços de saúde sendo viável a vinculação da CIF com formulários elaborados pelos próprios serviços de saúde. A correspondência entre um instrumento de avaliação geriátrico e a CIF potencializa discussões de casos, planos terapêuticos e cuidado continuado. A dinâmica do processo de cuidado padronizado pela CIF pode facilitar a ampliação do cuidado e estabelecimento de metas terapêuticas que ultrapassem o contexto do serviço e alcancem a esfera familiar e social.

Objective: Linking the content of the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) of a reference center for the health of the elderly with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and present its Basic Set of ICF codes. Method: The AGA were linked to the ICF by two specialists, trained according to the established linking rules. Agreement between the health professionals was determined based on Cohen's kappa index. Results: The agreement between the two health professionals was considered perfect for each ICF domain (k= 0.91; p<0.00; agreement= 93.32%). The AGA contained 419 items, 106 of which could not be linked to the ICF, as they were associated with health conditions or did not fit into any category. It was found that 313 were linked to the ICF domains and that 181 (60.13%) were related to body functions, 18 (5.98%) to body structures, 73 (24.258%) to activity and participation, 30 (9.97%) to environmental factors and 11 (3.51%) to personal factors. Conclusions: The ICF can be inserted in specific contexts of health services, making it feasible to link the ICF with forms prepared by the health services themselves. The correspondence between a geriatric assessment instrument and the ICF enhances case discussions, therapeutic plans and continued care. The dynamics of the care process standardized by the ICF can facilitate the expansion of care and the establishment of therapeutic goals that go beyond the context of the service and reach the family and social sphere.

Aplicabilidade da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade e Incapacidade e Saúde em unidades de emergência e cuidados intensivos: uma revisão sistemática / Applicability of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health in emergency and intensive care units: a systematic review

A Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade e Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF), surgiu para proporcionar uma linguagem estruturada e padronizada para descrever os diferentes estados relacionados à saúde dos indivíduos. Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão da literatura nacional e internacional acerca da aplicabilidade e uso da CIF no ambiente de emergência e cuidados intensivos. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, realizada nas bases de dados PUBMED, LILACS e MEDLINE, com artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos (período de 2011 a 2021), que utilizaram a CIF, Core sets ou conceitos da CIF como medida de desfecho em ambiente de cuidados agudos: emergências e Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI), em indivíduos adultos. Resultados: Foram identificados 11.373 estudos dos quais foram selecionados 14 estudos. Ao todo a amostra foi de 5.046 indivíduos, sendo 406 profissionais da saúde e 4.640 pacientes em diferentes condições de saúde. A maioria dos estudos (50%) foram realizados exclusivamente em UTI. Foi observado que 11 estudos utilizaram versões curtas e resumidas da CIF em Core sets e 5 deles contemplaram todos os 4 domínios da CIF (função e estrutura do corpo, atividade e participação e fatores ambientais). Conclusão: Devido a sua extensão e complexidade, o uso da CIF na emergência e cuidados intensivos tem sido adaptada e aplicada em versões curtas. Os core sets da CIF se mostraram uma ferramenta útil, aplicável em diferentes perfis de paciente críticos e permitiu fornecer informações de funcionalidade e incapacidade durante a internação e para a tomada de decisão das metas de reabilitação.

The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) emerged to provide a structured and standardized language to describe the different states related to the health of individuals. Objective: To propose a review of the national and international literature about the applicability and use of the ICF in the emergency and intensive care environment. Method: A systematic review was performed on the PUBMED, LILACS and MEDLINE databases, with articles published in the last 10 years (from 2011 to 2021), which used the ICF, Core sets ICF or ICF concepts as a measure of outcome in an acute care environment: emergencies and Intensive Care Unit (ICU), in adult individuals. Results: 11,373 studies were identified, of which 14 studies were selected. In all, the sample comprised 5,046 individuals, including 406 health professionals and 4,640 patients with different health conditions. Most studies (50%) were performed exclusively in the ICU. It was observed that 11 studies used short and summarized versions of the ICF in Core sets and in 5 studies all four domains of the ICF were used (body function and structure, activity and participation and environmental factors). Conclusion: Because it is extensive and complex, the use of the ICF in emergency and intensive care has been adapted to short versions. The ICF core sets proved to be a useful tool, applicable to different profiles of critically ill patients and allowed providing information on functionality and disability during hospitalization and when deciding on rehabilitation goals.

Foi elaborado roteiro de entrevista para coleta do perfil sociodemográfico e questionário autoaplicável para coleta da autopercepção nas categorias da CIF em entrevistas com os participantes em três encontros grupais videogravados, com duração de 35 minutos cada. Para estabelecimento de parâmetros de referência, duas juízas fonoaudiólogas classificaram as respostas nas mesmas categorias. Resultados: Os participantes relataram prejuízos em Funções do Corpo (voz, articulação, fluência e do ritmo da fala, movimentos involuntários), dificuldades em Atividades e Participação (fala, conversação, uso fino da mão, andar, vestir-se, realização de tarefas domésticas, e recreação e lazer) e barreiras nos Fatores Ambientais. Em 60% dos casos a concordância entre participantes e juízas foi discreta, 30% regular, e em um caso (10%) foi forte. Conclusão: Os resultados mostram as dificuldades de linguagem e de funcionalidade na percepção das próprias pessoas com DP, conferindo um caráter original à pesquisa por dar voz a elas e trazer subsídios para o cuidado centrado na pessoa, transpondo, assim, a visão biomédica da atenção centrada na doença.

ntroduction: Aging and the presence of chronic diseases such as Parkinson's Disease (PD) can generate disability and affect a person's life, and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), from a biopsychosocial perspective, allows studying the functioning in PD. Objective: To investigate the functioning of people with PD in a speech-language pathology (SLP) group, taking the ICF as a conceptual basis. Method: Cross-sectional study, approved by the Ethics Committee, with 10 participants with PD, in SLP group. An interview script was developed to collect the sociodemographic profile and a self-administered questionnaire to collect self- perception in the ICF categories in interviews with participants in three videotaped group meetings, lasting 35 minutes each. To establish a reference parameter, two SLP with experience in the ICF (judges) classified the answers in the same categories. Results: Participants reported impairments in Body Functions (voice, articulation, fluency and rhythm of speech, involuntary movements), difficulties in Activities and Participation (speech, conversation, fine use of the hand, walking, dressing, performing household chores, and recreation and leisure) and barriers in Environmental Factors. In 60% of the cases, the agreement between participants and judges was slight, 30% regular, and in one case (10%) it was strong. Conclusion: The results showed language and functioning difficulties in the perception of people with PD, giving an original character to the research by giving them a voice and bringing subsidies to person-centered care, thus transposing the biomedical view of disease-centered care.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the functionality in patients with adhesive capsulitis undergoing suprascapular nerve block (SSNB). Methods A before-and-after clinical prospective study in a single center was conducted with patients with secondary adhesive capsulitis treated with four nerve blocks based on anatomical limits. The sample was non-probabilistic, and it was obtained after a routine appointment at a specialized outpatient clinic. The instruments used for evaluation were the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) and the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire, which were applied at baseline (T0), one week after the fourth SSNB (T4), and three months after the first SSNB (T12). The paired t-test was used to compare the means of the ICF checklist items and DASH in the different: T0xT4;T4xT12;and T0xT12). The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis was 5%. Results The sample was composed of 25 individuals with a mean age of 58.16 years; 16 of them were female. The duration of the pain symptoms ranged from 2 to 16 months, with a mean of 5.92 months. The ICF checklist showed that all domains had already improved in T4 except for the environmental factors, which only improved at 03 months (p = 0.037). The patients reported improvements in shoulder function in T4, which increased more in T12, at the end of data collection (p = 0.019). Conclusion The SSNB technique is effective in patients with adhesive capsulitis after4 weeks of application, with improvements in individual's functionality lasting for 12 weeks.

Health benefits of integrating physical activity with chronic disease management in community-dwelling older adults: a scoping review / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo construct a health intervention model for community-dwelling older adults with chronic diseases based on the International Classification of Diseases, Eleventh Revision (ICD-11) and the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and to analyze the health outcomes of three types of intervention models that integrate physical activity and chronic disease management. MethodsA scoping review was conducted by searching CNKI, Web of Science, PubMed and EBSCO databases for literature on community-based management of chronic diseases, physical activity, exercise rehabilitation, physical activity prescription intervention and related health outcomes up to May, 2023. ResultsEight studies from four countries were included, involving 568 randomized controlled trials and 4 359 participants aged 50 to 72. The studies were published mainly between 2017 and 2022. Community-based health intervention models for older adults with chronic diseases were categorized into three types: community health service models (chronic disease management and exercise rehabilitation), community physical activity models (prevention and health promotion) and mixed models (a combination of these two models). The community health service model focused on chronic disease management in the community, integrating community sports, and involving physical activity intervention, health education, dietary intervention, monitoring and motivation intervention, and care coordination, for six to 24 months, with the intervention attribute of rehabilitation and health promotion. The personnel involved doctors, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers and primary healthcare clinicians. The community physical activity model focused on design and implementation physical activity intervention for chronic disease in the community environment, providing relevant physical activity advice and guidance, and personalized reinforcement and support. The physical activities included walking, cycling, warm-up exercises, cardiopulmonary fitness, muscle strength and balance training, coordination and stretching exercises, Taijiquan, Yoga, Qigong, and water sports; ten to 150 minutes a time, low to vigorous, for eight to twelve months, with the intervention attribute of prevention and health promotion. The personnel involved clinical staff, primary healthcare staff, exercise intervention experts and consultants, doctors, nurses, social workers and certified exercise coaches. The mixed model involved a chronic disease prevention and management plan, including physical activity counseling, lifestyle intervention related to physical activity, personalized health guidance and exercise program design, for six to twelve months, with the intervention attribute of prevention, rehabilitation and health promotion. The personnel involved sports coaches and retired professional athletes, dietitians, nurses, personal trainers, general practitioners, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. The main health outcomes involved body function-related indicators, such as control of weight, blood pressure, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, to reduce cardiovascular risk; relief of arthritis and herpes zoster pain, improvement in cognitive function and depressive symptoms. In terms of activity-related outcomes, the physical fitness improved, involving agility and dynamic balance, flexibility, muscle strength, and aerobic endurance; while the amount of physical activity increased, as well as the time spent on mild, moderate and vigorous exercise or leisure activities; the risk of fall reduced, the level of daily physical activity improved, and the self-efficacy and level of social participation increased. ConclusionThe community-based physical activity and health services models for older adults with chronic diseases may be classified as community health service model, community physical activity model and mixed model. A comprehensive intervention integrating physical activity and community health services can improve the health status, control the symptoms of chronic diseases, improve physical and mental functions, and increase the level of physical activity and quality of life for older adults with chronic diseases. The mixed model is a hybrid model that incorporates physical activity into community health services, which can provide comprehensive health interventions to make better health and health-related benefits.

Comprehensive spoken communication function of children with disabilities based on ICF-CY / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo investigate the comprehensive spoken communication performance of children with disabilities, and explore the related individual and environmental factors. MethodsFrom August to November, 2022, questionnaires of Communication Function Scale for Children based on ICF-CY were distributed online to parents of healthy children and children with disabilities aged two years to five years and eleven months in Shanghai, Nanjing and other areas. ResultsA total of 500 copies were sent out, and 407 valid questionnaires were returned, including 84 healthy children, 85 with hearing impairment, 119 with mental retardation, 35 with cerebral palsy and 84 with autism. There were significant differences in the comprehensive spoken communication function performance among the children with different impairment types (F = 127.618, P < 0.001). The comprehensive spoken communication ability was significantly poorer in the children with disabilities than in the healthy children (P < 0.05), and the ability was better in hearing-impaired children than in the children with other disabilities (P < 0.05). The higher the education of mother (r = -0.311, P < 0.001) and father (r = -0.280, P < 0.001), and family annual income (r = -0.228, P < 0.001), the better the children's comprehensive spoken communication performance; the children's comprehensive spoken communication performance was better when the family used Putonghua as unified communication language (r = 0.210, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe comprehensive spoken communication performance for children with disabilities is heterogeneous among different impairment types, and is affected by parents' education, family annual income, and family communication language.

Rehabilitation based on the categorization of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health′s Rehabilitation Set can more effectively improve the physical functioning of hemiplegic stroke survivors / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To observe any effect of using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) rehabilitation set in rehabilitating the physical ability of hemiplegic stroke survivors.Methods:Ninety stroke survivors with hemiplegia were selected and randomly divided into an observation group ( n=45) and a control group ( n=45). The observation group was first assessed using the ICF and then given 60 minutes of individualized rehabilitation, 5 or 6 times a week for 4 weeks in addition to a weekly one-hour rehabilitation course. The control group were evaluated and treated traditionally. Before and after the intervention, both groups were evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer exercise assessment (FM) and functional independence assessment (FIM). Results:After the treatment the average upper and lower limb scores as well as the total FM scores had improved significantly. Those of the observation group were then significantly different from the control group′s averages.Conclusion:Basing rehabilitation on the ICF can more effectively improve the physical functioning of hemiplegic stroke survivors.

Construction of special music educational objectives based on ICF and Hauenstein taxonomy of educational objectives / 中国康复理论与实践

ObjectiveTo construct a special music education goal framework with functional orientation and behavioral integration. MethodsUtilizing the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) theory and the Hauenstein educational objectives taxnomony, and by analyzing the core content of the China Special Education School Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards (2016 edition), objectives for special music education were constructed. A method is established based on the ICF and the functional characteristics of special-needs children to adjust the objectives of special music education. ResultsThe framework system of special music education goals should follow the principles of functional orientation, adaptability and inclusiveness. The framework mainly composed of the goals of cognitive domain, psycho-motor domain, emotional domain and behavioral field, and the goals of each domain could be divided into five levels according to the level of development and achievement. The cognitive domain mainly focused on feeling and appreciation, which made a foundation for music learning. The psychomotor domain developed the movements, skills and related abilities of musical performance. The emotional domain focused on the impact of special music education on behaviors in terms of emotions, values, and beliefs. The behavioral domain was the synthesization of the cognitive, emotional and psychomotor domains, to enable students to use musical elements and skills to create musical works and performance. The music education objectives should be adjusted according to students' functional and developmental levels and special music learning needs. For the cognitive domain, visual support, simplification and repetition might be useful. For the psychomotor domain, visual aids, multisensory experiences and supportive technological equipment might be needed. For the emotional domain, scenario simulation, role play and music environment setting could be used to promote the connection among music and the individual and the world. For the behavioral domain, creating an inclusive environment, affirming and encouraging, and providing opportunities for creative expression might help the students apply the musical elements and techniques. ConclusionBased on the ICF theory and the Hauenstein educational objectives taxnomony theory, and referencing the China Special Education School Compulsory Education Curriculum Standards (2016 edition), this study constructed an educational objectives framework for special music. Principles for building functionally oriented, adaptive, and inclusive music education were proposed, as well as a systematic method for adjusting the objectives of special music education.
