Therapeutic patients education program in addition to physical activity to engage onco-heamatological patients in managing cancer-related fatigue
Full text linkAttività fisica ed educazione terapeutica in pazienti oncoematologiciDealing with Cancer-Related Fatigue (CRF) is the first unmet
need reported by onco-haematological patients, and it’s due to
the disease and to treatment side effects. It is known that
Physical Activity (PA) could be beneficial in CRF’s management
and that most patients need accurate information about consented PA and disease management. Several studies showed
that Therapeutic Patient Education (TPE) Programs could help
people with chronic illnesses to manage their conditions, but
their application is still poor or not well structured

VALIDAZIONE TRANS-CULTURALE DELLA SCHEDA DI VALUTAZIONE ACTIVITIES SCALE FOR KIDS PERFORMANCE (ASKP): STIMA DELL’AFFIDABILITÀ DELLA VERSIONE ITALIANA NELLA POPOLAZIONE CON PARALISI CEREBRALE INFANTILE
Full text linkLa paralisi cerebrale infantile (PCI) è la più comune causa di disabilità dell’infanzia. I bambini con PCI sperimentano spesso difficoltà nelle attività della vita quotidiana, pertanto la misurazione delle loro performance in queste attività, diviene un aspetto prioritario dell’intervento riabilitativo. La Activities Scale for Kids performance (ASKp) è una scala validata su bambini con disturbi muscoloscheletrici (Young, 2000), il cui utilizzo è diffuso anche nella popolazione con PCI (James, 2014), in quanto ha il vantaggio di cogliere la percezione del paziente rispetto alla propria abilità (Young, 1995).
L’obiettivo di questo studio è ottenere una stima dell’affidabilità della versione italiana della scala ASKp (Fabbri, 2016) nella popolazione con PCI
Home-based occupational therapy to reduce disability and enhance social reintegration in complex patients in Reggio Emilia.

In the last 3 years, a multidisciplinary research group developed
a project focusing on occupational therapy (OT) for complex
patients admitted to Rehabilitation Unit of the IRCCS-ASMN.
The aim was promoting recovery of the best level of independence in ADL and finding strategies to return to a satisfying social
life. The study showed statistically significant improvement in
COPM in patients treated with OT + standard rehabilitation
care, and allowed researchers to focus some patients unmet
needs, dealing with social reintegration
CROSS-CULTURAL VALIDATION OF THE ACTIVITIES SCALE FOR KIDS PERFORMANCE VERSION: PROOF OF RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY IN ITALIAN CHILDREN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY
No full textPhysical functioning is crucial to participation in life activities and it should always be accurately assessed in children with cerebral palsy, as it is a key element in the rehabilitation of individuals with disabilities. The Activities Scale for Kids (ASK) is one of the few reliable and responsive outcome measures that allows children and adolescents to accurately report their physical functioning in typical activities for this age. The performance version of the ASK has recently been translated and culturally adapted to the Italian context and, in its original language, is currently used to assess children with cerebral palsy, although its psychometric properties have never been investigated in a wide sample of this population.
This PhD Thesis has been implemented to validate the Italian ASK performance version in children with cerebral palsy. Three cross-sectional studies were carried out to: a) provide a description of the ASKp score distribution in a population of 209 Italian healthy school aged individuals, b) test its internal consistency and construct validity in a population of 206 children with cerebral palsy; c) collect evidence of construct convergent validity of the ASKp in a population of 60 children with cerebral palsy, by comparing its results with the 66-item Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66) and with the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) and testing the ASKp’s ability to discriminate between individuals with different functional capabilities.
In conclusion, the ASKp is valid to assess physical functioning, a crucial domain in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy
AFO orthoses in children with CP: the effectiveness is associated with the gait pattern.
No full textDespite the AFO orthoses for children with CP are a widely used tool, their effectiveness has not yet been clearly demonstrated by experimental evidence, both for what concerns the effects on the walking pattern, and for what regards the aspects of activity and performance [1]. In the literature, the majority of the studies that evaluates the effectiveness of orthoses does not divide the children according to the pattern of movement, and bases the evaluation on uniform targets for all. The present work, dividing the patients into 4 forms (where the patients are more skilled from 1st to 4th form, Ferrari et al. [2]), tested the effectiveness of orthoses, demonstrating the need for an individualized approach based on the walking pattern of each single patient

Effectiveness of AFO orthoses in children affected by cerebral palsy: Clinical evaluation does not always define patient satisfaction
No full textOrthoses represent one of the tools most frequently used for the rehabilitation course of children affected by cerebral palsy (CP). A number of studies tried to evaluate the effectiveness of orthoses [1]. At present time no homogeneous results were found, both for what concerns their impact on the motor performance, and, mainly, for what concerns their effect in the fields of activities and participation [2]. These fields are still now very slightly explored. As indicated by [2], it is therefore necessary to deeper explore these issues in order to improve the rehabilitation care
