The lifestyle of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome and the effect on fatigue and functional impairments

Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics, 2009
AbstractBackground:  Little is known about the lifestyle of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and its influence on symptoms of CFS. The present study aimed to investigate the lifestyle of patients with CFS, and to assess whether lifestyle factors are related to fatigue and functional impairments.Methods:  Two hundred and forty‐seven patients

Measuring the Functional Impact of Fatigue: Initial Validation of the Fatigue Impact Scale

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1994
The fatigue impact scale (FIS) was developed to improve our understanding of the effects of fatigue on quality of life. The FIS examines patients' perceptions of the functional limitations that fatigue has caused over the past month. FIS items reflect perceived impact on cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functioning.

Fatigue and Functional Dependence in Older Cancer Patients

American Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2008
Functional dependence is a costly manifestation of aging that compromises the quality of life of elderly individuals and their caregivers. In this study, we hypothesized that fatigue may be a cause of functional dependence in older cancer patients. To establish whether fatigue was associated with dependence in 1 or more activities of daily living (ADLs)

Cognitive Functioning in Patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 1996
A comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests was administered to 35 outpatients suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). They were compared to 33 normal controls matched for age, gender, intelligence, and education. The patients displayed psychomotor slowing and impaired attention.

[Kinezitherapy--fatigue or function].

Medicinski arhiv, 2007
Kinesitherapy (KT) is field of rehabilitation that uses the movement in order to cure patient. Knowledge about movement, condition and method of act of movement determine the final effect of this kind of treatment. Nevertheless, the role of patient is active and the positive effect can be achieved only if patient understand his role in process of ...

A multiaxial fatigue damage function

International Journal of Fatigue, 2007
Abstract The applicability of a non-linear Fatigue Damage Function for multiaxial fatigue strength prediction is verified for various metallic materials including mild steel, hard steel, cast iron and aluminium alloys. The proposed method determines the orientation of the critical plane which experiences the maximum quantity of damage, according to ...

Fatigue during functional neuromuscular stimulation.

Progress in brain research, 1993
Discontinuous activation of muscle compartments is used to postpone the occurrence of fatigue during both normal activation and artificial stimulation. Periods of force development are interrupted by passive periods during which the muscle can recover. Since it is not known how fatigue parameters depend on intermittent stimulation, we compared fatigue ...

Autonomic function in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome

Clinical Autonomic Research, 1999
Subtle signs of autonomic dysfunction and orthostatic intolerance have been reported in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). To assess cardiovascular autonomic function noninvasively in an unselected group of patients with CFS, we examined responsiveness to several cardiovascular reflex tests in 37 CFS patients and 38 healthy control subjects.
