“…They reduced the final question to a yes or no answer, resulting in a maximal total score of 28. Quality categories were defined as 26-28 = excellent, 20-25 = good, 15-19 = fair and below 14 = poor (Benjamin, van de Water, & Peiris, 2014;Hooper, Jutai, Strong, & Russsel-Minda, 2008). Scores were calculated by the author and physiotherapist NH (Tables 3 and 4).…”

Abstract. OBJECTIVE:To determine whether physical exercise enhances cognition following TBI or stroke. DATA SOURCES: Studies were identified through searches of PubMed, ScienceDirect and the reference lists of papers that were included for full-text evaluation. Medical subject headings from three concepts, i.e. brain injury, physical exercise and cognition, were used to incorporate related search terms. STUDY SELECTION: Included were all trials published in English that assessed cognition before and after an exercise intervention in human adults with TBI or stroke. Nine randomized and two non-randomized controlled trials, as well as three single group pre-post studies were included. DATA EXTRACTION: Relevant data concerning the methods and results of the included studies were extracted. Methodological quality of the RCT's was evaluated using the PEDro scale. Non-randomized trials were assessed using the Downs and Black checklist. DATA SYNTHESIS: The included trials were generally of medium methodological quality, though often plagued with issues of internal and external validity. The studies exhibited great heterogeneity, rendering a meta-analysis infeasible. CONCLUSIONS: Though well-designed studies are still needed, the preponderance of evidence suggests a positive effect of physical exercise on global cognitive functioning, especially in the chronic stages of a brain injury. Time after injury as well as the duration of the exercise program are mediating factors.

“…For the external validity subscales, the general population was considered to be that of the hospital/specialist treating adults with spinal deformity; thus, the participants in these studies are representative of that population. The tool was modified for use in this review, as in previous reviews, regarding scoring the question concerning statistical power to 1 if a power or sample size calculation was present and 0 if no power or sample size calculation was present [18][19][20][21]. The Downs and Black scores are divided into four quality categories: excellent (26)(27)(28), good (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25), fair (15)(16)(17)(18)(19), and poor (B14); only a randomized control trial can obtain the top score of 28 [20,21].…”

“…64 A 6-week 12-hour AMD cognitive education program has been seen to lower the incidence of depression, reduce the severity of symptoms among depressed patients, increase self-efficacy, and improve self-reported visual function. [65][66][67][68] Undertaking routine low vision rehabilitation can improve adjustment to vision loss, 69 as can teaching functional living skills including orientation and mobility training and occupational therapy for at least 4 weeks.…”

PURPOSE.To determine factors associated with the level of adjustment to vision loss in a cross-sectional sample of adults with mixed visual impairment. METHODS.One hundred participants were administered the Acceptance and Self-Worth Adjustment Scale (AS-WAS) to assess adjustment to vision loss. The severity of vision loss was determined using binocular clinical visual function assessments including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, reading performance, and visual fields. Key demographics including age, duration of visual impairment, general health, education, and living arrangements were evaluated, as were self-reported vision-related activity limitation (VRAL), depression, social support, and personality.RESULTS. Multivariate analysis showed that higher levels of depressive symptoms (b ¼ À0.26, P < 0.01) and of the personality trait neuroticism (b ¼À0.33, P < 0.001), and lower levels of the personality trait of conscientiousness (b ¼ 0.29, P < 0.01), were associated with poorer adjustment to vision loss, explaining 56% variance.CONCLUSIONS. Adjustment to vision loss is significantly associated with depression and certain traits of personality (specifically neuroticism and conscientiousness), independent of the severity of vision loss, VRAL, and duration of vision loss. The results suggest certain individuals may be predisposed to exhibiting less adjustment to vision loss due to personality characteristics, and exhibit poorer adjustment owing to or as a consequence of depression, rather than due to other factors such as the onset and severity of visual impairment.
