Vertigo and dizziness include both consequences of disease as well as definable disease entities such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, Meniere?s disease, or vestibular migraine. Irrespective of the various causes and underlying health conditions, vertigo and dizziness have significant impact on functioning and overall quality of life of the affected individuals To give some examples, the most common peripheral-vestibular disorder benign paroxysmal positioning vertigo - which is also the most frequent type of vestibular disorder - causes brief rotatory vertigo attacks, mainly triggered by rapid head movements, e.g. when turning around in the bed or lacing shoes. Central-peripheral disorders, which may be caused by brain ischemia, multiple sclerosis, or other permanent or transient brain lesions, can make vertigo attacks lasting from minutes to even weeks [6]. In addition, vertigo and dizziness are a considerable burden to economy and health care [4, 7, 8]. Precondition of effective management and treatment of potentially disabling conditions like vertigo is - besides careful diagnosis of the underlying condition -the assessment of outcomes which are relevant to the patient. This is not only important to monitor treatment effects but also to set goals and to plan therapy [6]. As summarized by Morris et al. [9] outcome measures in vertigo vary by the entities they are addressing, such as subjective experience of disability or signs and symptoms. Most of them reflect either the patients? or health professionals? experience. As an example, the frequently used Dizziness Handicap Inventory [10] addresses the patients? experience of the consequences of vertigo on daily living. Most outcome measures are developed and validated on the basis of empirical findings or professional experience [11]. However, none of them refer to a common theoretical framework. A theoretical framework is fundamental for defining an Outcome measurement and helps to ensure that the whole potential spectrum of issues is reflected [12]. In addition to the lack of theoretical foundation there is still no agreement on standards used to measure outcomes in patients with vertigo. This is illustrated by a recently published Cochrane Review in the field of vestibular rehabilitation which noted 15 different outcome measures of patients? complaints in 21 studies [13]. To address both these issues, the Integrated Center for Research and Treatment of Vertigo, Balance and Ocular Motor Disorders ( IFB LMU ) at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit{\"a}t in Munich set up a project that aims to develop an international standard for the description of functioning and disability in patients with vertigo and dizziness based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). With the ICF, which is part of the family of international classifications of the World Health Organisation (WHO), there is a common theoretical framework for describing and measuring health and disability. The ICF models the individuals' functioning and health as a complex interaction between a health condition.}, language = {en} } @article{ReuschenbachCassierWoidaskyMahleretal.2012, author = {Reuschenbach, B. and Cassier-Woidasky, A.K. and Mahler, C. and Mayer, H. and Richter, M.T. and Berendonk, C. and Hoben, M. and M{\"u}ller, Martin and Flerchinger, C. and Z{\"u}ndel, M. and Schiff, A.}, title = {Methodennutzung, -pr{\"a}ferenz und -fortbildungsbedarfe in der deutschsprachigen Pflegewissenschaft - Ergebnisse einer Online-Befragung.

Methods: A semi-structured questionnaire was used to assess patient goals and goal achievement. Overall functioning from the patients' and health professionals' perspective was assessed on a numerical rating scale. Improvement in functioning was calculated using a residualized gain score. Association between goal achievement and improvement in overall functioning was assessed with logistic regression. Results: A total of 397 patients reported achievement of at least 1 goal. Eighty-eight percent of the goals were translated into categories of the ICF. Logistic regression analyses revealed significant association between goal achievement and overall functioning. Conclusion: The ICF might be useful to identify and structure patient's goals in acute hospital care.

The setup and the calibration of the numerical model of the structure are outlined briefly. A semi-analytical approach for the prediction of radiated sound is presented, which is based on Integral Transform Methods. The method can be applied in the post processing of a Finite Element computation. Thus as a first step the structure, consisting of a timber slab, a floating floor and a suspended ceiling, is built up in a Finite Element model, where the material properties of wood and the characteristics of the system are considered. The model is parameterized in order to enable computations with varying geometry and material parameters and calibrated with the help of measurements using model updating techniques. The velocity pattern resulting out of the FEM computation is transformed from the spatial into the wavenumber domain and from the time into the frequency domain using Fourier Transform Methods. Applying this velocity pattern as a boundary condition to the Helmholtz Equation, which results out of the Fourier Transform of the wave equation, the wavenumbers, which fulfil the radiation condition, can be selected and the pressure field in the adjacent acoustic fluid can be computed. Due to the properties of the Fourier-Transform the radiated sound power can be calculated efficiently in the transformed domain out of pressure and velocity.
