Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

623
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Community Based Intervention

610
Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...

Summary

Interventions to improve community ambulation for stroke survivors show insufficient evidence of effectiveness. More research is needed to determine if practicing outdoor or community walking improves participation and skills for stroke survivors.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation science
  • Clinical neurology
  • Physical therapy

Background:

  • Community ambulation is crucial for stroke survivors' independence and social functioning.
  • Impaired walking ability post-stroke necessitates targeted interventions.
  • This review focuses on enhancing community ambulation skills in stroke survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of interventions aimed at improving community ambulation in stroke survivors.
  • To identify if specific intervention methods yield superior outcomes compared to others.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of multiple databases including Cochrane Stroke Group Trials Register, PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO.
  • Inclusion of parallel-group and cross-over randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving adult stroke survivors.
  • Meta-analysis of primary outcome (participation) and secondary outcomes (gait, self-efficacy) with assessment of evidence quality.

Main Results:

  • Five studies with 266 participants were included, evaluating walking practice, virtual reality, and imagery.
  • Low-quality evidence suggests no significant effect of interventions on participation (SMD 0.08, 95% CI -0.20 to 0.35).
  • Evidence for other outcomes like gait speed, Community Walk Test, and self-efficacy was also low quality and inconclusive.

Conclusions:

  • Insufficient evidence currently exists to support the use of community ambulation interventions in clinical practice for stroke survivors.
  • Further high-quality research is required to ascertain the benefits of community-based walking interventions.
  • Future studies should focus on outdoor or community walking practice to improve participation and skills.
