Abstract

Diverse cultural, social, and economic backgrounds significantly influence the caregiver burden of spinal cord injury (SCI) patients, affecting their quality of life (QoL) and the overall care experience. This study was done to identify spinal cord caregivers' QoL in Indonesia through their burden and the variables that influence it. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Dr. Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, involved 137 primary SCI caregivers. The burden of these caregivers was evaluated using the Indonesian version of the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) and the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF questionnaires. The data was analyzed with multiple linear regression and spearman analysis using SPSS version 24. The majority of SCI caregivers have a mild to moderate burden (54.7%). The burden score was significantly correlated, especially with occupational status and the length of interaction each day (p<0.001). It also found a significant with strong negative correlation (referring to the Guilford criteria) between caregiver burden and QoL (r-value −0.750; p-value <0.001). Indonesian caregivers' cultural and economic backgrounds may alleviate their burden in caregiving, but attention to patient occupational status and care duration is crucial to prevent worsening their quality of life, particularly for SCI survivors they care for.

Abstract

Early diagnosis of dysphagia and aspiration risk is very important in minimizing the risk of various medical consequences. This study aimed to establish a scientific database for future sEMG-based dysphagia screening investigations by examining the electrical activity of swallowing muscles in acute stroke cases. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 61 stroke inpatients admitted to Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia, from July to November 2019. The objective of this study was to quantify electrical activities of the suprahyoid (SH) and infrahyoid (IH) muscles during swallowing. Patients participated in both dry swallowing and a 3 mL water swallowing task, with the sEMG used to measure electrical activity parameters (duration, swallowing initiation, time-to-peak, and amplitude) on both paretic and normal sides. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the electrical activity parameters between the patients paretic and normal sides. Only amplitude showed a significant difference between the paretic and normal side (p=0.023) when performing the 3 mL water swallowing test. Other parameters did not exhibit significant differences in activity between muscle groups during both swallowing tests (p>0.05),  although varying water volumes led to distinct activities in both muscles. Despite the absence of a clear pattern in SH and IH contractions during swallowing, the result showed that the sEMG quantification method might become a promising method for screening dysphagia, complementary to FEES and VFSS. The non-invasive and cost-effective sEMG method can serve as an early screening tool for dysphagia in stroke patients. This study underscores the importance of further investigation on sEMG use, incorporating a larger sample size and diverse cohort results with various swallowing exercises (varying in volume and viscosity) to validate the use of sEMG in dysphagia screening.

Abstract

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes damage to the cardiovascular system that leads to functional and quality of life (QoL) deterrence. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) aims to improve cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) to prevent disease progression and its risk factors. Aerobic exercise (AE) causes different physiological effects depending on the applied intensity. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is being developed because of better effectivity than moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT). Even so, HIIT has not been prescribed generally. This review aimed to describe the effects of HIIT on cardiovascular function and risk factors, functional impairments, and the QoL. Methods: Articles were searched using PubMed and CINAHL databases with the keywords “high-intensity interval training”, “cardiac rehabilitation”, “exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation”, and “coronary artery disease”. Results: Twenty-two articles were found and used to explain sub-topics. Discussion: HIIT improves ventricular function, LVEF, heart contractility, and endothelial function which further improve systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Improvement in cardiovascular risk factors was better in HIIT compared to AE in lower intensities. Studies recommend HIIT for CAD patients due to significant cardiovascular adaptation in this exercise. Compared to MICT, most studies found that HIIT is better at improving CRF. HIIT also positively affects cognitive and affective functions. Research on the impact of HIIT on functional activity and QoL is still limited. However, one study found no differences in physical activity level and QoL in groups given HIIT or MICT. Conclusion: In CAD patients, HIIT is considered an alternative exercise that is more time-efficient than continuous exercise.

Abstract

Aim: Determine the effects of continual physical exercise on lymphedema and limitations of Range of Motion (ROM) of shoulder joint events in post-Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM) patients. Methods: The Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design study with inclusion criteria are women aged d”60 years and BMI d”30 kg/m2 with a diagnosis of breast cancer post MRM. The control group received physical exercise during hospitalization and the treatment group received continual physical training until 16 weeks. This study using chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for statistical analyzing.Results: Study was carried out on 24 subjects. There were no lymphedema and limitations of shoulder ROM in the group who receive continual physical exercise, but it is not statistically significant difference between groups (p greater than 0,05).Conclusion: This study shows that continual physical exercise could prevent the occurrence of lymphedema and limited ROM of shoulder joint in post MRM patients.
