“…Many older adults with disabilities are unable to go out alone and need to be accompanied because of physical, visual, and hearing disabilities; individuals with mental or intellectual disabilities might also require assistance to prevent them wandering or becoming lost. 82 , 83 Outside the home, discrimination may occur that can cause stress and negative emotions that can have harmful psychological and physical effects and make socialization problematic. 84 Although disability is a protected characteristic of equality legislation, disability discrimination is widespread.…”

Purpose To conducted a scoping review of care needs of older adults with disabilities at home and in the community and provide a comprehensive understanding of the essential needs of older adults with disabilities. Methods Eight databases were searched for relevant Chinese and English studies (supplemented by retrospective references of the included studies) from the establishment of the database to February 13, 2023. An thematic synthesis approach was used to qualitatively integrate the retrieved studies and identify need-related themes. Results A total of 6239 studies were retrieved, 2557 were de-weighted and excluded, and 56 were obtained after the double screening. Studies were from 11 countries. Thirty-three studies used a self-prepared survey instrument to investigate needs, and the other research tools commonly used were secondary databases and the Long-Term Care Needs of the Disabled Scale. A total of 78 specific need items were identified and summarized into three need themes based on the ICF framework: physical functioning needs, activity and participation needs, and environment needs. Conclusion The complex physical and mental health conditions faced by older adults with disabilities result in multifaceted, integrated needs that are difficult to identify and meet. Current research on older adults with disabilities is limited to common care. Future research should focus on the specificities of the older disabled population and understand the diverse care needs of people with disabilities in order to better target care services for this group. Policymakers should formulate more operational and strategic measures based on the actual needs of older adults with disabilities to expand the coverage of services and to pinpoint care services.

“…Exercise is one of the vehicles for community reintegration and participation for PwMD; however, physical inactivity remains one of the hallmark traits of this population ( 63 ). This study provides evidence that an individualized CBEP can significantly improve upper extremity strength and decrease pain for PwMD, as well as effectively transition PwMD from a formally guided program to a self-monitoring continuation of regular physical activity.…”

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine how support and guidance provided by trained professionals during a 12-week, community-based transition exercise program, impact health outcomes and continued engagement in physical activity for persons with a mobility disability (PwMD).DesignA single arm pre-post design was used.SettingAccessible community-based health and wellness center.ParticipantsThe study included 244 PwMD using a mobility device.InterventionsParticipants completed a 12-week transition exercise program provided through an accessible community facility that provided education and support to complete endurance and strength related exercises as well as programming to encourage transition to self-directed engagement in exercise.Main Outcome MeasuresBodyweight, BMI, pain, perceived exertion, speed, and distance during cardiovascular fitness testing, and strength were measured pre and post exercise program. The number of participants that signed up for a monthly membership after the program was also monitored.ResultsFor the total group, average pain reported over previous 30 days decreased significantly (p < 0.01), current daily pain decreased significantly (p < 0.05), perceived exertion at the end of the 9-min endurance test decreased significantly (p < 0.05), and the four upper extremity strength exercises showed large, significant strength gains (p < 0.01) after the program. There was no significant change in bodyweight, BMI, or speed and distance completed during endurance testing. At the completion of the program, 76% of participants enrolled in a monthly membership at the facility with the intentions to continue to exercise regularly.ConclusionsThis study provides evidence that an accessible community-based exercise program, with a transitional component supported by trained professionals, can support the exercise goals of PwMD and improve strength, decrease pain, and may promote regular exercise adoption for PwMD.

“…even later into the "exercise ¼ medicine" philosophy in health and human movement sciences [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Now, travelling through science, practice, and industry between the 1st and the 6th RehabMove in 2018 for almost 30 years, the circle seems round with continued, promising, and important national and international collaborative research.…”

Background: Human movement, rehabilitation, and allied sciences have embraced their ambitions within the cycle of "RehabMove" congresses over the past 30 years. This combination of disciplines and collaborations in the Netherlands has tried to provide answers to questions in the fields of rehabilitation and adapted sports, while simultaneously generating new questions and challenges. These research questions help us to further deepen our understanding of (impaired) human movement and functioning, with and without supportive technologies, and stress the importance of continued multidisciplinary (inter)national collaboration. Methods: This position stand provides answers that were conceived by the authors in a creative process underlining the preparation of the 6th RehabMove Congress. Results: The take-home message of the RehabMove2018 Congress is a plea for continued multidisciplinary research in the fields of rehabilitation and adapted sports. This should be aimed at more individualized notions of human functioning, practice, and training, but also of performance, improved supportive technology, and appropriate "human and technology asset management" at both individual and organization levels and over the lifespan. Conclusions: With this, we anticipate to support the development of rehabilitation sciences and technology and to stimulate the use of rehabilitation notions in general health care. We also hope to help ensure a stronger embodiment of preventive and lifestyle medicine in rehabilitation practice. Indeed, general health care and rehabilitation practice require a healthy and active lifestyle management and research agenda in the context of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Continued multidisciplinary (international) collaboration will stimulate the development of rehabilitation and human movement sciences. Notions from "human and technology asset management and ergonomics" are fundamental to rehabilitation practice and research. The rehabilitation concept will further merge into general health care and the quality there-off.
