Presentation Transcript

  1. Community Reintegration: Life After Stroke • Dr Kenneth Lam • Stroke Physiatrist

  2. How I got invited to give this talk

  3. Four “unrelated” Topics • Post Stroke Depression • Driving After Stroke • Sexuality • Botox management of upper extremity spasticity to improve hand function

  4. Important topics regarding community reintegration!!! • Post Stroke Depression • Driving After Stroke • Sexuality • Botox management of upper extremity spasticity to improve hand function

  5. Objectives • Why discuss community reintegration • Terms, concepts and models • Determinants of Participation • Enhancing Participation • Measuring instruments (research vs simple clinical tools)‏ • Two simple tools

  6. Why this talk • Community reintegration is the final stage of rehabilitation with real world outcome • We don't talk about it enough • We don't ask our patient and caregiver about it enough • We don't measure it enough • We don't use it as an outcome for our therapeutic approaches

  7. Why this talk • Great proportion of stroke patients have restrictions in participation/community reintegration • Pang, Eng & Miller 2007 • Major area of restrictions: • Vocation • Leisure • Mobility • Education • Family • Financial • Social participation • Cardol et. al. 2002

  8. Concepts and models of functioning in society • Terms • Community reintegration • Participation • Occupational Performance/ Occupation • Instrumental ADL • Life habits • Models • ICD • ICF • Disability Creation Process Model

  9. Concentrate on 2 terms • Community Reintegration • Participation

  10. The term community reintegration is used to refer to returning to the mainstream of family and community life, engaging in normal roles and responsibilities, actively contributing to ones social groups and of society as a whole (Dijkers 1998). Community Reintegration

  11. Community Reintegration • Return to Roles Inside and Outside the home • Vocation • Avocation • Taking care of oneself

  12. Participation(WHO)‏ • Involvement in a life situation

  13. The International Classification of Impairments, Disabilities, and Handicaps (ICIDH) – Older WHO concept • Impairment: Loss of structure, or abnormality of function at the organ level • Disability: Restriction of activities at the person level • Handicap: set of disadvantages within the individual's particular social context • Highlight the comparison with the able body in the social context. • ICF is more client centered, put into consideration of personal and environmental factors

  14. Newer WHO Concept-International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF)(The ICF was officially endorsed by all 191 WHO Member States in the Fifty-fourth World Health Assembly on 22 May 2001)‏ • Body Function • Body Structure • Activities • Participation

  15. ICF components of Stroke

  16. Concepts and models of functioning in society • Terms have very similar meaning • Models used depends on discipline and which part of the country • There are differences in construct and limitation with each model especially if you're into reaserch • Concept of Particiaption and Community Reintegation almost completely overlap(Dijkers 1988)‏

  17. A unified view • Community reintegration is the final stage of Stroke Rehabilitation • “Real World” outcome of Community Reintegration are Quality of Life and Participation • Few RCT uses participation as outcome • Few trials have measures pertaining to participation

  18. Community Reintegration/Activities & Participation

  19. Post Discharge Period-Transition from Acute Rehabilitation to Community Reintegration • Discharge from Acute Care • Discharge from Inpatient Rehabilitation • Discharge from Outpatient Rehabilitation • Time of Change • Loss of social, emotional and practical support offered by professionals • Difficult time for patient and family • If Managed Well Can be Most Rewarding

  20. Life after “ rehab” • Ongoing therapy base rehabilitation beyond sixth month can improve ADL and fitness and BUT does NOT necessary address participation • This may require “planned withdrawal” of medical and rehabilitation services and substituting them with leisure and social activity to encourage independence and reintegration to normal life

  21. Life starts after formal therapy • This is when the real work start • From “Stroke Survivors” to “Stroke Thrivers”

  22.
