Article Critique: Participant Perceptions of a Novel Physiotherapy Approach

The researchers used purposive sample but did not give any explanation as to why this choice sampling was made. It is essential to describe the sampling process in a research where this facilitates the reader to distinguish any bias in the whole sampling process. In studies using participants, the process of how to select, access, inform and retain research participants requires considerable thought. Sampling is a key issue, because it is

The primary evidence that I have chosen is a study conducted by Brodie et al (2008) about how a physical activity ‘lifestyle’ intervention based on motivational interviewing, compared to standard care, can improve quality of life for people with chronic heart failure. The authors of this article included an account of its

It is suggested by previous studies that the damage of the myelin sheath in MS involves the activation of inflammatory factors including the CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, B cells, macrophages and microglia cells (Luccinetti et al., 1996; Lassmannet al., 2012). However, whether the immune response triggers the onset of MS, or is a consequence of the disease process is currently not clear. Interestingly, several recent studies suggested that the prevalence rate of MS is significantly increased with latitude, which implies that not only the geographical (environmental) differences but racial and ethnic differences may play a role in the worldwide MS distribution (Rosati, 2001; Simpson et al., 2011).

The MSFit clinic is a clinic that was started by a WSSU alumini for his mother. The clinic is based out of the Gateway YMCA and serves local Multiple Sclerosis patients. The clinic provides PT screnings, re-evaluations, interventions, and fitness recommendations. The clinic also allows Multiple Sclerosis sufferers the opportunity to use the YMCA at no cost to them. On the day of my clinic visit there was a mix of new patients and re-evaluations. Out of all the participants, the majority were females, aged 40-60.

An abstract is something your write after you have finished your paper that sums up what you have written. It should be noted, however, that even though this is generally the last thing you write, it is placed at the beginning of the paper. The abstract should never introduce new material, only sum up what is written in the paper. To

Multiple sclerosis is a devastating disease that attacks the mylination on the axons of neurons, causing many problems. Patients with MS must worry about how they will get around, see, and manage everyday activities. However, probably one of the most devastating and stigmatizing aspects of the disease is its effects on one 's cognitive capabilities. This in combination with its paralyzing effects can produce a diminished sense of self in the patients as well as a diminished sense of being in others.

Anytime an individual is asked to administer an exercise program for a client with a major chronic disease, the practitioner must determine if the program will help facilitate the management of disease or if exercise (or certain types of exercise) will cause the condition to worsen. Table 2 justifies the use of exercise and highlights the importance of recommending exercise for patients with Meniere’s disease, although very little research has been conducted on the population directly. One cohort study, found that as many as 50% of patients with Meniere’s disease use some form of exercise to help manage their condition (Kentala, 2013). While this study didn’t examine the effectiveness of exercise on Meniere’s disease directly, it indirectly

An abstract is a brief summary—usually about 100 to 120 words—written by the essay writer that describes the main idea, and sometimes the purpose, of the paper. When you begin your research, many scholarly articles may include an abstract. These brief summaries can help readers decide if the article is worth reading or if addresses the research question, not just the topic, one is investigating.

Sangelaji Bahram, the author of the article The effectiveness of behaviour change interventions to increase physical activity participation in people with multiple sclerosis says,“ behavior change interventions can significantly increase physical activity participation[...]Behavior change interventions did not significantly impact on the physical components of quality of life or fatigue[...]Behavior change interventions provided for relatively short duration (eight to 12 weeks) may increase the amount of physical activity people with multiple sclerosis engage in, but appear to have no effect on the physical components of quality of life and fatigue” ( Bahram, 2016). This quote reveals that Hemingway might of developed “multiple sclerosis” which is a disorder that affects the immune system and eats the protective cover of the nervous system. This disorder rarely ever occurs into humans but one of the symptoms is mood changes. Hemingway might of develop this disorder because throughout the book he shows lots of different behavior and mood changes toward others which “multiple sclerosis” could be a factor. The quote also says that “Behavior change intervention” also know as behavior change method/technique is a theory which someone changes their behavior by a person’s attitude or “self efficacy”. This method increases physical activity participation which

The purpose of the research project was to identify what level of knowledge the public have about Multiple Sclerosis. The research question was ‘how knowledgeable are the public regarding Multiple Sclerosis?’. Before I was able to test the public’s knowledge, secondary research was carried out to gather background information on the chosen topic. Secondary research methods for this project included the use of written sources from books, journal and newspapers and also, online information. To test the public's knowledge, a self-completion questionnaire was produced to gather quantitative data on their knowledge of Multiple Sclerosis. The quota sampling method used was to allow me to analyse my data accurately according to different genders,

Using a Self-efficacy Based Model to Explore the Applicability of the Self-efficacy Theory in Long-term Degenerative Neurological Conditions: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Research indicates that Counseling and Guidance is a significant service for individuals who cope with multiple sclerosis and cancer survivor (Chiu, Chan, Bishop, Cardoso, & O’Neil, 2013; Strauser, et al., 2010). During the VR process counselors counsel and guide individuals regarding the process and the roles and responsibilities within the counselor-client relationship. Counselors also provide counsel and guidance to their clients regarding comparable benefits and services that are available to them within the community. Within this service counselors help their clients understand disability related information, functional limitations, impediments to employment, and other services that can be provided to assist them eliminate barriers to employment.

The purpose of our health fair event is to educate and encourage older adults to remain active in their daily lives. Physical health is beneficial throughout one’s entire lifespan. Incorporating regular exercise into your daily routine will prevent chronic disease, improves their overall mood, and lowers their chances of injury (Aldwin & Gilmer, 2013, Chapter 5). As we go through the aging process, our bodies require us to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Moderate exercise is favorable for people of all ages. Elderly people living with chronic illnesses can also participate in moderate physical activity. Medical conditions, such as dementia, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure can all be improved by including regular exercise into an individual’s routine (Chronic Illnesses, PowerPoint).
