Transitional shifts in exercise behavior among women with multiple sclerosisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Results supported the TTM proposed relationships, indicating the model's potential for motivating individuals with MS to increase their physical activity. Findings also support the notion that physical activity is useful in reducing MS-related symptoms and that lifestyle types of physical activity may be as useful as structured exercise in bringing about these outcomes.

Disparities in patient-physician communication for persons with a disability from the 2006 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: This study revealed that persons with disabilities are at increased risk of experiencing ineffective patient-physician communication, compromising current health status and increasing the possibility of secondary health conditions. Several suggestions were made with regard to incorporation of “disability literacy” mechanisms such as physician training, health facility environmental assessment, and use of technologies such as telehealth and e-health. Further research in partnership with the disability community is needed to determine the effectiveness of these methods in improving patient-physician communic...

Cost of workplace accommodations for individuals with disabilities: with or without personal assistance servicesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The findings heighten awareness of the cost and benefits aspects associated with PAS for people with disabilities. Many non-PAS accommodations cost nothing to the employer (e.g., changing the work schedule, moving the individual to another location). When dollar cost was involved, the costs for PAS accommodations were more than three times greater than non-PAS accommodations. (Source: Disability and Health Journal)

Influence of a Consumer-Directed Personal Assistance Services Program on the lives of persons with mobility impairmentsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: This study supports other findings that consumers prefer CDPAS to agency-directed care and provides new evidence that this preference cannot be explained by an increase in PAS hours that often accompanies enrollment in a CPDAS program. Although CDPAS appear to have subtle positive effects on consumer health and participation, ways in which CDPAS can maximize health status and participation quality among consumers should be explored.

Continuity in provider and site of care and preventive services receipt in an adult Medicaid population with physical disabilitiesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Study findings suggest that care models for adults with physical disabilities should include mechanisms to ensure both physician and site continuity. A strong primary care component that links individual patients with a personal doctor, as well as care protocols that ensure receipt of preventive services, appear to be optimal for medically needy populations.

It's Time to Go to the Doctor'sEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It's routine: you go to the doctor's office. The nurse gets your weight and other vitals. Then it's off to the exam room, where you remove your clothes, vulnerably put on a hospital “gown,” hop up on that table with the crinkly paper, and begin the long wait for the doctor. Or is it so routine? (Source: Disability and Health Journal)

Self-rated health and quality of life in adults attending regional disability services in IrelandEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: These results give an insight into self-rated health and quality of life of regional disability services attendees. Findings provide an indicator of health needs and provide a baseline to measure the impact of interventions. Further elucidation of the relationship between functional impairment and quality of life in those with disability is needed. Factors affecting self-rating of health in people with intellectual disabilities need further exploration. (Source: Disability and Health Journal)

Personal emergency preparedness for people with disabilities from the 2006-2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance SystemEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Increased effort must be made to empower persons with disabilities to become involved in their own emergency preparedness. Efforts are being made by several government and nongovernmental organizations to assist in this effort though most have not addressed specific needs of vulnerable populations within the disability community. Strategies for emergency preparedness must be considerate of these high risk populations. Finally, mechanisms must be developed to connect persons within the disability community to the information necessary on emergency preparedness through methods such as telehealth. (Source: Disabil...

Patterns of mobility aid use among working-age persons with multiple sclerosis living in the community in the United StatesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The vast majority of persons with MS who use at least one mobility aid own more than one type and about half own three or more different types of mobility aids. Persons with MS appear to “mix and match” different devices to suit their specific mobility needs. Given restrictive health insurance coverage policies for mobility aids, these findings raise questions about how persons acquire and pay for higher-technology mobility aids.
