Accelerometry-Assessed Physical Activity and Circadian Rhythm to Detect Clinical Disability Status in Multiple Sclerosis: Cross-Sectional Study

Accelerometry-Assessed Physical Activity and Circadian Rhythm to Detect Clinical Disability Status in Multiple Sclerosis: Cross-Sectional Study

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease affecting the central nervous system in which those affected typically have intermittent neurologic symptoms and signs early in the course (relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis [RRMS]) but often, subsequently (or, less commonly, from onset), slowly accumulate disability (progressive multiple sclerosis [PMS]). Currently available tools to measure disability in MS are limited.

Accessibility of eHealth Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among People With and People Without Impairment: Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey

Accessibility of eHealth Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic Among People With and People Without Impairment: Repeated Cross-Sectional Survey

Before the pandemic, we identified a disability digital divide in e Health, that is, people with impairment reported less use and more difficulty in the use of e Health, particularly with some types of impairment (language impairments and intellectual impairments) [2]. Sustainable development [3], legislation, and human rights principles [4] demand accessible e Health for all.

Indigenous Community Views of Disability in Canada: Protocol for a Scoping Review

Indigenous Community Views of Disability in Canada: Protocol for a Scoping Review

The way disability is defined affects the types of disability services offered, who uses the services, and the way they work. The traditional biomedical model, despite frequent criticism, continues to influence Western approaches to disability [1,2]. This model views disability as an individual issue, characterized by abnormalities of the body or mind that medical science treats and social services cater for.

Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

Evaluation of Financial Support Workshops for Patients Under State Pension Age With Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: Survey Study

People with DCM experience high levels of disability and dependence, and are among those with the lowest quality of life scores for any chronic disease [13]. In fact, almost half of diagnosed individuals may be dependent on the support of others for activities of daily living (41.9% (326/778) in a recent study [14]).

Cardiometabolic Health Intervention Using Music and Exercise (CHIME) Delivered via Telehealth to Wheelchair Users: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Cardiometabolic Health Intervention Using Music and Exercise (CHIME) Delivered via Telehealth to Wheelchair Users: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Wheelchair users include users of any wheeled devices for their primary means of mobility, such as manual and powered wheelchairs or motorized scooters, and may include individuals in a variety of disability groups, including those with SCI, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, or limb loss. A total of roughly 5.5 million wheelchair users in the United States would benefit from an accessible aerobic exercise program to reduce their cardiometabolic disease risk [10].

Video Remote Sign Language Interpreting in Health Communication for Deaf People: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Video Remote Sign Language Interpreting in Health Communication for Deaf People: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study trial is part of a larger study that focuses on understanding structural and societal factors alongside impairments to determine how an individual experiences health and disability (Swiss National Science Foundation, PZ00 P1_186035). A steering committee governs the design of the study. The committee includes local and international Deaf organizations, leading disability and global health scholars, and public administration representatives.

Acceptance and Use of eHealth in Support and Psychological Therapy for People With Intellectual Disabilities: Two Cross-Sectional Studies of Health Care Professionals

All participants were employed by the care organizations involved in the Academic Collaborative Centre Living with an Intellectual Disability (Tranzo, Tilburg University). They volunteered to participate and did not receive any compensation or gifts for their involvement. To answer the first research question on the applicability of the UTAUT model, a CFA followed by an EFA were conducted to determine model fit.
