Major amputation following vascular reconstructive procedures (including sympathectomy).

PubMed (1978)

George Hunter P. J. Holliday

To study the effects of vascular reconstruction or sympathectomy, or both, on the level of amputation, the number of revision procedures performed and the mortality following amputation, the authors reviewed the records of 504 patients from three Toronto teaching hospitals who had one or both limbs removed at or above the below-knee level. It appears that (a) previous vascular surgery or sympathectomy, or both, actually increases the number of patients in whom a below-knee amputation is successful, (b) the number of revision procedures necessary is increased after failed vascular surgery or sympathectomy, or both and (c) revision procedures following amputation do not affect the mortality from lower limb amputation.

Power Mobility for a Nursing Home Resident With Dementia

American Journal of Occupational Therapy (2009)

Rosalie H. Wang P. J. Holliday Geoff Fernie

Abstract OBJECTIVE. This case study describes an occupational therapy intervention to increase the self-mobility and social participation of a nursing home resident with dementia using a power wheelchair equipped with a collision-prevention system. METHOD. We used an exploratory case study design. Data sources included the medical record, standardized assessments, interviews, observations of daily activities, and a driving log. RESULTS. During driving sessions, changes in affect such as smiling and attempts to socialize were noted. The resident required ongoing prompting to operate the modified power wheelchair. CONCLUSION. The resident was unable to achieve self-mobility with an intervention involving a modified power wheelchair. However, this study demonstrates that even supervised mobility can have a positive impact on affect and social participation. Observations from this study are being applied to the design and testing of the next generation of power wheelchairs intended for use by nursing home residents with dementia.

Urinary Dysfunction in a Geriatric Long‐Term Care Population: Prevalence and Patterns*

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (1981)

M. A. S. Jewett Geoff Fernie P. J. Holliday M. E. PIM

ABSTRACT: More complete data on the prevalence and types of urinary dysfunction in geriatric institutional patients are essential for the management of their urologic problems. Over a 13‐month period, a prospective study was conducted of all new admissions to a hospital for long‐term care. Eighty percent (277/347) of the newly admitted patients were geriatric (65 or older). Urinary dysfunction was identified in 69.3 percent of the geriatric group; 38.3 percent were incontinent, 20.2 percent bore a urinary diversion device, and 10.8 percent were symptomatic without incontinence. Obtaining reliable information about urologic status posed a significant problem, particularly as 27 percent of the subjects had a mental disorder, including organic brain syndrome or confusion. Thirty percent of all patients questioned were unable to give any history of their own health status. Questioning of both staff and patient to determine reliability of the data revealed that the given information was correct in 77 percent of patients who acknowledged genitourinary dysfunction, and in 83 percent of those who denied it. The study failed to elicit useful data concerning the specificity of symptoms, urologic history, diagnosis and management of urinary dysfunction in this series of geriatric patients under long‐term institutional care.

Design of built environments to accommodate mobility scooter users: part I

Disability and Rehabilitation Assistive Technology (2010)

Tilak Dutta Emily C. King P. J. Holliday Susan M. Gorski Geoff Fernie

To determine the minimum dimensions needed to allow five models of powered mobility scooters to manoeuvre within five commonly encountered indoor spatial configurations.We measured manoeuvrability of five scooters judged by their manufacturers to have a good combination of indoor mobility and outdoor performance (including in rural environments). We determined the minimum space needed to manoeuvre the scooters through the following five spatial configurations: turning 180° in a corridor, performing U-turns around 50 mm (2″) and 1200 mm (4') obstacles, turning 90° from a doorway and approaching a counter or work surface from the side. Free-standing styrofoam walls were used to define each configuration. An expert driver repeatedly manoeuvred the scooters through each configuration while we incrementally decreased the dimension of interest until it was no longer possible to complete the manoeuvre. Each scooter's turning diameter was also measured and compared to the manufacturer's specification.Minimum space requirements for each scooter for five spatial configurations are given and compared to existing standards.None of the scooters tested were capable of completing all manoeuvres within the space allowed by existing standards. These findings will contribute to recommendations for new standards for built environments that can accommodate scooter users.

An instrument for monitoring stump oedema and shrinkage in amputees

Prosthetics and Orthotics International (1978)

Geoff Fernie P. J. Holliday Rebecca Lobb

A new system for measuring the cross-sectional area profiles of amputation stumps and whole limbs has been designed at the Amputee Research Centre. The instrument consists of a cylindrical tank supported on an elevator. The tank is raised to the height of the amputation stump and filled with water. A graph of the cross-sectional area profile of the amputation stump is generated by a mini-computer as the elevator descends. The cross-sectional area (A) is calculated from the expression: formula: (see text) where Hw = height of water in the tank He = height of the elevator Ac = a constant, related to the size of the measuring tank. This paper describes the instrument, which may find application in many other areas where there is a need to study shape.
