Abstract
Cognitive self-efficacy (CSE), one's belief in their ability to control their cognitive performance, is important for participation in daily activities and rehabilitation. This study aims to understand how Parkinson's disease (PD) affects CSE. The Cognitive Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (CSEQ) was administered to 47 non-demented PD and 52 healthy comparison (HC) participants. Groups were compared on their self-reported ability to recognize (Part 1) and manage (Part 2) cognitive symptoms and to perform cognitively complex functional activities (Part 4). Relationships between CSEQ scores and individual characteristics were assessed within PD. The PD group had lower CSEQ scores than the HC group for all Parts. Within PD, Part 2 scores were lower than Parts 1 and 4, and worse depressive symptoms and higher medication dosage correlated with lower CSE. People with PD may have low CSE, which can contribute to participation restrictions and reduced engagement in treatment. Occupational therapists should consider CSE with clients with PD.

Abstract
The ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) function is a multifaceted construct that reflects functionality in different daily life situations. The loss of ADL function due to cognitive impairment is the core feature for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). In contrast to Alzheimer's disease, ADL impairment in PD can be compromised by various factors, including motor and non-motor aspects. This narrative review summarizes the current state of knowledge on the association of cognition and ADL function in people with PD and introduces the concept of "cognitive ADL" impairment for those problems in everyday life that are associated with cognitive deterioration as their primary cause. Assessment of cognitive ADL impairment is challenging because self-ratings, informant-ratings, and performance-based assessments seldomly differentiate between "cognitive" and "motor" aspects of ADL. ADL function in PD is related to multiple cognitive domains, with attention, executive function, and memory being particularly relevant. Cognitive ADL impairment is characterized by behavioral anomalies such as trial-and-error behavior or task step omissions, and is associated with lower engagement in everyday behaviors, as suggested by physical activity levels and prolonged sedentary behavior. First evidence shows that physical and multi-domain interventions may improve ADL function, in general, but the evidence is confounded by motor aspects. Large multicenter randomized controlled trials with cognitive ADL function as primary outcome are needed to investigate which pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions can effectively prevent or delay deterioration of cognitive ADL function, and ultimately the progression and conversion to PDD.

Original research: longitudinal evaluation of cognitively demanding daily function using performance-based functional assessment highlights heterogeneous trajectories in cognitive and functional abilities in people with Parkinson's disease. Front Neurosci 2023; 17:1200347. [PMID: 37434765 PMCID: PMC10330725 DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2023.1200347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 06/01/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Longitudinal assessment of functional abilities in Parkinson's disease (PD) is needed to determine the efficacy of cognitive interventions in providing meaningful improvements in daily life. Additionally, subtle changes in instrumental activities of daily living may precede a clinical diagnosis of dementia and could aid earlier detection of and intervention for cognitive decline. Objective The primary goal was to validate the longitudinal application of the University of California San Diego Performance-Based Skills Assessment (UPSA). An exploratory secondary goal was to determine whether UPSA may identify individuals at higher risk of cognitive decline in PD. Methods Seventy participants with PD completed the UPSA with at least one follow-up visit. Linear mixed effects modeling was used to identify associations between baseline UPSA score and cognitive composite score (CCS) over time. Descriptive analysis of four heterogeneous cognitive and functional trajectory groups and individual case examples was performed. Results Baseline UPSA score predicted CCS at each timepoint for functionally impaired and unimpaired groups (p < 0.01) but did not predict the rate change in CCS over time (p = 0.83). Participants displayed heterogenous trajectories in both UPSA and CCS during the follow-up period. Most participants maintained both cognitive and functional performance (n = 54), though some displayed cognitive and functional decline (n = 4), cognitive decline with functional maintenance (n = 4), and functional decline with cognitive maintenance (n = 8). Conclusion The UPSA is a valid measure of cognitive functional abilities over time in PD. Given the heterogeneity of functional and cognitive trajectories, this performance-based assessment did not predict cognitive decline with this relatively short follow-up. Further work is needed to understand longitudinal functional assessments in PD-associated cognitive impairment.

Abstract
The Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA) may improve understanding of functional cognition in people with Parkinson disease (PwPD) without dementia. We aimed to determine if WCPA performance (a) discriminates between PwPD with and without cognitive impairment and healthy controls and (b) correlates with other indicators of cognition and daily function. This was a cross-sectional study. Parkinson disease (PD) participants without dementia were divided into normal cognition (PD-NC, n = 25) and possible mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI, n = 21) groups. Their WCPA performance was compared with that of a normative sample (n = 196) and correlated with neuropsychological test performance and self-reported cognition and participation. Both the PD-MCI and PD-NC groups had impaired WCPA performance. WCPA performance correlated with executive function, processing speed, and self-reported cognition and participation. The WCPA can detect functional cognitive deficits in PwPD without dementia and can inform occupational therapy interventions to support functional cognition, occupational performance, and participation in this population.

Abstract
Background Everyday functioning and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) play a vital role in preserving the quality of life in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN-DBS). Objective The main goal of the current study was to examine IADL change in pre-and post-surgery of the STN-DBS. We also analyzed the influence of the levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD) and global cognitive performance (Dementia Rating Scale; DRS-2) as covariates in relation to IADL. Methods Thirty-two non-demented PD patients were administered before and after STN-DBS neurosurgery the Penn Parkinson’s Daily Activities Questionnaire (PDAQ; self-report), the DRS-2 and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) to assess IADL change, global cognition, and depression. Results We found a positive effect of STN-DBS on IADL in the post-surgery phase. Moreover, lower global cognition and lower LEDD are predictive of lower IADL in both pre-surgery and post-surgery examinations. Summary/Conclusion STN-DBS in PD is a safe method for improvement of everyday functioning and IADL. In the post-surgery phase, we show a relation of IADL to the severity of cognitive impairment in PD and to LEDD.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo examine the agreement between self- and informant-reported activities of daily living (ADL) deficits in Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patients, and to examine factors influencing ADL ratings.BackgroundIn PD, the loss of functional independence is an important outcome of disease progression. The valid assessment of ADL function in PD is essential, but it is unclear to what extent informants’ and patients’ perceptions of their daily functions concur, and how other factors may influence both ratings.MethodsData of 150 PD patients who underwent cognitive and motor testing, as well as their informants were analyzed. The 10-item Functional Activities Questionnaire (FAQ), completed separately by patients (FAQ-S) and their informants (FAQ-I), assessed ADL function. Weighted κ statistics summarized level of agreement, and a discrepancy score (FAQ-I – FAQ-S) quantified agreement. Correlation analyses between FAQ total scores, patient and informant characteristics, and cognitive scores were conducted, with post hoc regressions to determine the associations between both FAQ scores and cognition, independent of patient characteristics.ResultsThe sample included 87 patients with normal cognition, 50 with mild cognitive impairment, and 13 with dementia. Overall, there was fair to moderate agreement between patients and informants on individual FAQ items (0.27 ≤ κ ≤ 0.61, p < 0.004), with greater discrepancies with increasing cognitive impairment. Patients’ age, motor severity, non-motor burden, and depression also affected both ratings (0.27 ≤ r ≤ 0.50, p < 0.001), with motor severity showing the greatest influence on both ratings. Both the FAQ-I and FAQ-S were correlated with almost all cognitive domains. Post hoc regression analyses controlling for patient characteristics showed that the attention domain was a significant predictor of both the FAQ-S and FAQ-I scores, and memory was also a significant predictor of the FAQ-I score. Only 29.3% of patients agreed perfectly with informants on the FAQ total score, with informants most commonly rating ADL impairments as more severe than patients.ConclusionsPatient and informant ratings of ADL function using FAQ items showed moderate agreement, with only few items reaching substantial agreement. Ratings of both were associated with patient cognitive status, but also other characteristics. In addition to patient and informant reports, objective measures are needed to accurately classify ADL deficits in PD.

The association of socio-economic and psychological factors with limitations in day-to-day activity over 7 years in newly diagnosed osteoarthritis patients. Sci Rep 2022; 12:943.

Abstract
Previous research has established links between chronic pain and impaired cognitive ability, as well as between chronic pain and anxiety, in osteoarthritis. Furthermore, there is evidence linking risk of osteoarthritis to lower educational attainment. However, the inter-play of these factors with key social factors (e.g., social deprivation) at the early stages of osteoarthritis are not understood. Here, we used data from waves 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) (n = 971) and selected a subsample of respondents who initially did not report a diagnosis of osteoarthritis until wave 6. We used path models to test how social deprivation, education and anxiety, before diagnosis (waves 4 and 5), affect the relationship between cognitive ability, pain and limitations in activities of daily living following diagnosis (waves 6 and 7). We show that high social deprivation before diagnosis predicts greater limitations in activities of daily living after diagnosis, with this effect partly mediated by impaired cognitive ability. We also find that higher educational attainment before diagnosis may protect against limitations in activities of daily living after diagnosis via better cognitive ability and lower anxiety. Therefore, improving cognitive ability and managing anxiety may mitigate the associations of social deprivation and low educational attainment with limitations in activities of daily living.
