Baseline phase Sample Clauses

Baseline phase. Starting from the first day of BASELINE phase – 10 days - all Users will be involved in interviews, questionnaires, monitoring of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) indoor and outdoor. Their ADL will be checked in order to have a quantitative evaluation of the level of sedentariness (WSN & Bracelet). A specific evaluation will be proposed by the Coaching in order to evaluate functional limits to perform single movements and specific diseases which require others. PASE test will join the Six Minute Walking Test in the completion of the main table recruitment. As far as the concept of PA in the Elderly is concerned, the impairment of functional capacity as balance, transferring and turning may sometimes cause deterioration in ADL. The functional impairments may be strictly linked to the sedentary lifestyle: for this reason functional capacity must be evaluated by testing certain tasks in the ADL in order to reduce related risks and to receive precious tools in the identification of individual risks. The above quoted functional impairments will be used as indicators in the prevention of falls related to everyday activities helping the identification of high-risks subjects. The Xxxx Balance Scale (BBS) is considered the gold standard assessment of balance with small intra- inter rate feasibility and good internal validity. The Xxxx’x utility includes grading different patients’ balance abilities, monitoring functional balance over time and to evaluating patients’ responses to different protocols of treatment. In this first step, common sessions will act in the way of explain the use of the simple smart application, calibrated for our targeted Users, finalized for the DOREMI treatment. Basic elements of anatomical mobility will be thought in order to empower our Users on the importance of the daily Physical Activity (D2.1 – §6.2.1). According to the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines, general lines of active behaviour will be showed to Participants and Controls. During the training period a personalized PA, based on the baseline survey, will be provided to all Participants directly by the Coaching.

Baseline phase. Starting from the first day of baseline period, all Users (30 Participants and 10 Controls), will be: - submitted to blood and urine tests (white and red blood cells count, glycaemia, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglyceride levels, target vitamins and minerals); - submitted to clinician and instrumental evaluation in order to define comorbidities; - submitted to weight and height measurements; 1). The result of the screening score and the assessment will help in identify malnutrition problems in the Users; - submitted to Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis BIVA®-, the complementary method for body-composition assessment–whole body, which is able to evaluate the hydration and body mass composition in any clinical condition, regardless of weight for providing a semi- quantitative assessment of body composition based on direct measurements (D2.1 – §6.1); The nomogram Biavector® graphically will show the physiological state of a subject, allowing a quick check of the results. The nomogram is composed of three areas, defined ellipses of confidence (50%), tolerance (75%) abnormalities (95%) and is able to highlight with excellent sensitivity and specificity of the real state of hydration in any clinical condition (D2.1 – §6.1); - monitored in their eating behaviour and involved in the compilation of questionnaires developed to have a feedback on dietary habits including the distribution of meals during the day, the motivation to eat and its related sensations(e.g. appetite, satiety, fullness, discomfort, etc.) ; - involved in the use of a food diary in order to evaluate actual food intake including a selection of food categories and cooking procedures and presenting notes on good practise for the selection of meals and the knowledge of sources to be introduced (calcium, iron, protein, characteristic of a good breakfast); - involved in the compilation of questionnaires in order to evaluate the degree of comprehension of the nutritional training employed at the baseline time; - involved in active trials to approach to the easy METADIETA technology, - in particular the Photo Diary –a simple smart technology calibrated for the targeted population and enabling the Nutritionist to receive a daily feedback on the effect of the DOREMI treatment (D2.1 – §7.3); This application will be run for a 3 day period, in order to give the User simple instructions and train them to the use of the smart touch photo diary (Figure 7). As far as this step is concerned, in these 3...

Baseline phase. From day 1 to day 7 the whole group of Elderly (30 PARTICIPANTS + 10 CONTROLS), will be submitted to the following tests: - Token test - Phonemic Fluency - Semantic fluency - Attentional matrices - Digit span - Montreal cognitive assessment - Reaction time task - SF36 (see §8.2.1 and 8.2.3) From day 7 to day 10 the data collected during the interviews will be studied and evaluated. This period of time will also be used to administrate further tests in case participants were not able to attend in the previous week, due to different reasons. Once data will have been analysed, a personalized game plan (including a particular selection of games) will be elaborated, according to the outcomes and specific impairments of each subject. Following the cognitive tests, the analysis of the outcomes will allow to get one level of data interpretation: The global vision, deriving from the score achieved within all the tests administered, thus identifying the distribution of subjects in 3 functioning classes: - “A” high cognitive functioning - “B” medium cognitive functioning - “C” low cognitive functioning Specifications: Subjects will be distributed in three functional classes, useful to define the starting level and consequently the complexity of the games to propose. Since each cognitive test is based on a different score range, (for example, MMSE 0-30, whereas Token 0-36), it is necessary to create through statistics a homogeneous score range to get a global outcome defined through a percentage. It can be exemplified in Table 10: MMSE 0/00 00-00 00-00 22-23 Token 0/00 00-00 00-00 24-29 Attentive matrices 0/60 ≥50 42-49 ≤42 Phonemic fluency 0/32+ ≥32 25-31 ≤24 Semantic fluency 0/37+ ≥36 31-35 ≤30 Digit Span 0/110 ≥80 79-33 ≤32 The specific class (A, B or C) in which each participant is ranked, depends on the lowest score he/she achieves in any of the proposed tests. In order to standardize each single test’s level and reclassify them altogether, a validated study was used, covering an elderly population aged between 60 and 85 years. This study is based on a standardized research on FLSA test (Functional Living Skills Assessment), aimed at correlating different tests, among which those used in the DOREMI project (MMSE, Token Test, attentional matrices, Phonemic fluency, Semantic fluency, Digit span); it is now being printed by the publishing house Xxxxxxx. This research involved a target group composed of 541 subjects, included 79 as control group. Answers were analyse...
