Prevalence, patterns and associated behavioural risk factors of multimorbidity in rural India
The prevalence of multimorbidity is projected to increase substantially in India. Previous studies have focused on urban populations and older adults, who do not represent the majority of those at risk. We aimed to estimate the prevalence and investigate patterns of multimorbidity in a rural population in India and examine their associations with four common behavioural risk factors (BRFs): daily drinking, tobacco consumption, physical inactivity…

Effect of Hatha Yoga Sadhana and Simplified Kundalini Yoga on Selected Physiological Variable Among Geriatric Men With Low Back Ache
The present study was designed to find out the effect of Hatha yoga sadhana and simplified kundalini yoga on physiological variable among Geriatric men with low back ache. It was hypothesized that there would be significant differences in systolic blood pressure among Geriatric men with low back ache due to the influences of Hatha yoga sadhana and simplified kundalini yoga. To achieve the purpose of the study, 45 Geriatric men with low back ache …
Digital health interventions for improving access to primary care in India
Access to quality healthcare remains a challenge in low-and middle-income countries. Vulnerable populations with unmet needs face the greatest challenge in accessing primary care for appropriate and timely healthcare. The use of digital technologies can not only strengthen health systems but also improve access to health care, particularly for the vulnerable. This scoping review aims to assess the various digital health technologies and intervent…

The Malay-CAFU questionnaire is a valid and reliable instrument to assess the dependence level of stroke survivors and the upset level of informal stroke caregivers in Malaysia
Limitations and Recommendations for Advancing the Occupational Therapy Workforce Research Worldwide
Occupational therapy workforce research can help determine whether occupational therapists exist in sufficient supply, are equitably distributed, and meet competency standards. Advancing the value of occupational therapy workforce research requires an understanding of the limitations and recommendations identified by these investigations. This scoping review and content analysis synthesizes the study limitations and recommendations reported by th…

Evaluation of the Impact of the First Wave of Covid-19 and Associated Lockdown Restrictions on Persons with Disabilities in 14 States of India
COVID-19 and the associated lockdown restrictions have negatively impacted persons with disabilities during the first wave in India. It is critical to mainstream disability within the agenda for health and development with pragmatic, context-specific strategies and programs in the country
Exploring the Need for Mobile Application in Stroke Management by Informal Caregivers
The current study revealed two themes with respective subthemes that were identified, namely, self-seeking for information and reasons for using a stroke mobile application in the future. This application helps in reducing healthcare costs, enhancing the rehabilitation process, facilitating patient engagement in decision making, and the continuous monitoring of patient health
Type of Findings Generated by the Occupational Therapy Workforce Research Worldwide
Occupational therapists are needed to meet the health and occupational needs of the global population, but we know little about the type of findings generated by occupational therapy workforce research conducted worldwide. We aim to synthesize these findings and their range of content to inform future investigations. A scoping review with content analysis was used. Six scientific databases, websites of official institutions, snowballing, and key …
Lockdown-Related Disparities Experienced by People with Disabilities during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Lockdown-related measures to contain the COVID-19 pandemic can disproportionally affect people with disabilities with broader impact on their health and social grounds. Lack of disability-inclusive response and emergency preparedness and pre-pandemic disparities created structural disadvantages, exacerbated during the pandemic. Both structural disparities and their pandemic ramifications require the development and implementation of disability-in…
