ADL Evidence Based ArticleO MEASUREMENTS: Outcome measures included self-rated

difficulties with ambulation, IADLS, ADLs, fear of falling, confidence performing daily tasks, and use of adaptive strategies

O RESULTS: At 6 months, intervention participants had less difficulty than controls with IADLs and ADLs. Greater self-efficacy, less fear of falling, fewer home hazards, and greater use of adaptive strategies. Benefits were sustained at 12 months for most outcomes.

O CONCLUSION: A multicomponent intervention targeting modifiable environmental and behavioral factors results in life quality improvements in community-dwelling older people who had functional difficulties, with most benefits retained over a year.

EDEMA REDUCTION

EDEMA: POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS

O Pain and stiffness,O Formation of adhesions, and

shortening of connective tissuesO Decreased range of active

movementO Loss of hand function

MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE

O METHODS: Both treatment and control groups used conventional methods of edema treatment, including: elevation, active and passive exercises, and compression. In addition, the experimental group received ten treatments of manual lymph drainage using light massage.

O RESULTS: Patients were measured four times within a ten month period using a volumeter. The experimental group had better outcomes in edema reduction at each reading.

O CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the group treated with MLD will have less edema at an earlier post-traumatic stage compared with the conventionally treated group, which reduces the risks of edema associated complications. MLD is considered a complimentary treatment to conventional edema treatment.
