The Usefulness of Evaluating Performance of Activities in Daily Living in the Diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Disorders Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Patricia De Vriendt, Elise Cornelis, Wilfried Cools, Ellen Gorus

The Assessment of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) is paramount to ensure the accurate early diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders. Unfortunately, the most common ADL tools are limited in their use in a diagnostic process. Hence, we set out to validate a tool to evaluate basic (b-), instrumental (i-), and advanced (a-) ADL called the Brussels Integrated Activities of Daily Living Inventory (BIA). At the geriatric day hospital of the ...

Nienke Nakken, Daisy J. A. Janssen, Emiel F. M. Wouters, Esther H. A. van den Bogaart, Jean W. M. Muris, Geeuwke J. de Vries, Gerben P. Bootsma, Michiel H. M. Gronenschild, Jeannet M. L. Delbressine, Monique van Vliet, et al.
Introduction Persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are often limited in performing their activities of daily living (ADLs). However, it remains unknown whether and to what extent problematic ADLs change over time and whether exacerbation-related hospitalisations affect problematic ADLs. Therefore, we investigated self-reported problematic ADLs of persons with COPD during 1 year of usual care (i.e. without a specific ...

Transitions in robust and prefrail octogenarians after 1 year : the influence of activities of daily living, social participation, and psychological resilience on the frailty state Universiteit Gent Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Axelle Costenoble, Veerle Knoop, Aziz Debain, Ivan Bautmans, Sven Van Laere, Siddartha Lieten, Gina Rossi, Dominique Verté, Ellen Gorus, Patricia De Vriendt, et al.
Background: Knowledge opportunities lie ahead as everyday activities, social participation, and psychological resilience might be important predictors for frailty state transitioning in the oldest old. Therefore, this article aims to examine whether changes in basic-, instrumental-, advanced- activities of daily living (b-, i-, a-ADLs), social participation, and psychological resilience predict both a transition from robustness to prefrailty or ...

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: health status, activities of daily living, resistance training and exacerbation Universiteit Hasselt

Marina SALLUM BARUSSO GRUNINGER
Background: Patients with COPD might present a physically inactive and a sedentary lifestyle, so they start a vicious circle of inactivity and deconditioning, which also causes a decrease in functional capacity. The onset of dyspnea and fatigue and disease progression leads to impairments in activities of daily living (ADL). The exercise training appears being one of the cornerstone in treatments of COPD. Despite of all evidences describing the ...

The relationship between basic, instrumental, and advanced activities of daily living and executive functioning in geriatric patients with neurocognitive disorders Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Elise Cornelis, Ellen Gorus, Nele Van Schelvergem, Patricia De Vriendt

OBJECTIVE: Although many studies explored the relationship between executive functions (EF) and activities of daily living (ADLs) in cognitive disorders, previous studies used measurements without well-defined levels of ADLs. This study explored the relationship between EF and the threefold classification of everyday functioning (basic or b-, instrumental or i-, and advanced or a-ADLs) and examined how EF account for the variance in this ...

Early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and mild dementia through basic and instrumental activities of daily living Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Elise Cornelis, Ellen Gorus, Ingo Beyer, Ivan Bautmans, Patricia De Vriendt

BACKGROUND: Assessment of activities of daily living (ADL) is paramount to determine impairment in everyday functioning and to ensure accurate early diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders. Unfortunately, most common ADL tools are limited in their use in a diagnostic process. This study developed a new evaluation by adopting the items of the Katz Index (basic [b-] ADL) and Lawton Scale (instrumental [i-] ADL), defining them with the terminology ...

Investigating the relevance of the advanced activities of daily living tool for the screening and diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment and dementia to the Sub-Saharan African migrant population in Belgium: A qualitative focus group study Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Mary Lamnteh, Ellen Gorus, Dominique Van De Velde, Rose Njemini, Patricia De Vriendt
Introduction:
Early diagnosis of dementia is partly based on the evaluation of the basic (b-), instrumental (i-) and advanced (a-) activities of daily living (ADL). Adapting the item content of assessment tools to maintain relevance, understanding, and equivalence of the items and scales across other groups is pertinent. However, there are limited assessment tools developed on or adapted for use on the growing older Sub-Saharan African ...
