Breathing01:05

Breathing

65.2K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Philosophy of Interpretation

Background:

  • Walking impairment affects diverse populations, including older adults, amputees, and individuals with Parkinson's disease.
  • Understanding the lived experience of losing independent walking ability is crucial for effective care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the meaning of walking impairment for individuals who previously walked independently.
  • To analyze the profound impact of mobility loss on daily life and self-perception.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study analyzing data from three distinct participant groups.
  • Interpretation of findings inspired by Paul Ricoeur's philosophy.

Main Results:

  • Four key themes emerged: altered self-perception, the necessity of automaticity in walking, social participation, and aspirations for regained mobility.
  • Walking impairment was perceived as a fundamental physical and existential deficit, overshadowing other life difficulties.

Conclusions:

  • Inability to walk independently has a pervasive and profound effect on an individual's life.
  • Addressing walking impairment requires understanding its multifaceted impact beyond the purely physical.
