    I like to share this webpage because it is very easy to read and has a lot of knowledgeable information. The interesting fact I learned for myself that Rotator Cuff Injuries are likely to happen in people after 40 years old, so I may seriously think about what I can do to prevent it happen to me. The website has a figure of the person on which you can point and it will take you to different syndromes of the body. The website explain in details definitions, causes, symptoms, treatments, preventions, recovery time and problems that can occur during the rehabilitation time. I thought it was very helpful.

    I found this website that talks about services provided by this company that specializes in OT for UE amputees. I found it really cool that there are centers that specialize in just this. The only downfall I see is that there is only 5 centers in the whole US.

    This story of Jacob LaFerriere, a burn victim gives back to his community and gives back by giving motivation to kids who have been burned.  I like this video because it shows him working with an occupational therapist and doing fun rehab activities.

    This article is from the AOTA. It describes the role of OT in helping those with breast cancer. The "survivorship" phase is when a person is trying to re-enter their life's role as care taker, bread winner, house keeper, etc. This lists information some types of interventions one might receive in different types of settings.

    I like this website because they post the latest news about the drugs that could treat some form of cancer. All information about cancer (types, treatment, prevention). From this website I found out that every 3th person in United States gets cancer. Also we can read how to live with cancer (coping skills, advice, medical research and information about palliative care). There are also recommendations on how an occupational therapist may help with assistive devices or adapted techniques to help you perform these activities easier. I thought this website was really educational and helpful.

    By Saul Morris, PhD If you have had an amputation or are going to have one, let me assure you that others have already gone through the same experience. You may be feeling physical pain, fear, apprehension, loneliness, uncertainty and sadness but I can assure you that you will make it though all of this.

    This is very good website that describes most common types of burns, how to prevent burns, legal rights of the person with burn injuries. It is unbelievable that about 450,000 Americans receive medical treatments for burn injuries each year and that the most types of burns are preventable. Absence of smoke detectors and using alcohol while working with flames are the most common types. Occupational therapy for burn patients can help patients reacquire the skills needed to perform daily tasks independently (dress, groom, bathe and cook) and provide advice for patients how to accomplish daily tasks and prepare them to return to work or school.

    Occupational Therapy play a very important role with patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. OT can help with energy conservation issues, pain, weakness, psychosocial, and physical impairments. Quality of life and independence are key. OT can be of service to people newly diagnosed, in cancer treatment, or in hospice. What I needed reminding of was that OT can help those that have survived, especially the psychosocial aspect.

    This article discusses the specific areas and goals that occupational therapists may address with cancer patients. I thought the writer did a great job explaining what occupational therapy is and why the field is so important. This would be a good resource for later on if I ever go on to interview for a job in oncology, would be a nice review of how impactful OT can be.

    I found this article on the AOTA website. I didn't realize that occupational therapy is one of the only professions qualified to work with lymphedema. I thought it was really interesting how the writer pointed out that occupational therapy gives control back to patients who are in a very uncontrollable situation. Sometimes when working with patients, it is not about saving their lives but about helping them live their life with the most quality and happiness while they have life to live.

    This article touches on several different issues related to occupational therapy. The article on burns is interesting, because it combines two different areas that we have studied, telehealth and burn rehabilitation. The OT in the article, along with other healthcare team members, discover the benefits of using telehealth to check in with patients who cannot make weekly visits to the hospital, like burn victims.

    The objectives of rehabilitation after an individual has sustained an acute spinal cord injury (SCI) include maximizing the patient's medical, functional, and psychosocial outcomes. Functional outcomes are strongly associated with the neurological level of the individual's SCI.

    A very interesting article about OT and treatment of burns. In her case OT started after the patient was stable and able to do therapy every day. She states that the healing process can take years for the patient. Scar care, compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting, ROM, and strengthening were all discussed. It was noted that scar tissue and adhesions are very painful. A very important point was the planning for discharge and taking in all aspects of independence.

    This article was written by a therapist working in acute rehabilitation. She talks about compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting and why it's important, stretching for range of motion and strengthening.

    This is an amazing article that explains how OT works with burn victims. I loved the fact that the OT and PT visited the burn unit before transfusing.

    "OT in the Burn Unit" is an article written by Sarina Piergrossi which outlines her first experience as an OT with a burn victim. She describes the process she underwent to insure proper treatment for this patient in the different stages of care required by burn victims. The different treatment types described include compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting, ROM/strengthening and conditioning exercises, and then planning for discharge. Another service offered at Kessler Institute (where this therapist worked) is they allow the patients to travel out into the community with a therapist in order to assess future needs with ambulation, wheelchair mobility, etc. It was very interesting to know that this OT felt at a little anxious about receiving her first burn victim as I am feeling the same sense of anxiety regarding treating patients for the first time as we head out into our field work.

    Many oncology patients also experience burns. OT works with these patients as well as other burn trauma patients. I'm finding that I really like this website as I have used it for several other bookmarks. In this article, an OT practitioner breaks down specific intervention techniques that an OT may do with a burn victim as well as planning for discharge. She also discusses how she co-treated with a PT practitioner on her first burn patient which was interesting to read about a treatment team working together.

    Burn care is a highly specialized field. It can be intimidating. There is a lot to learn and be aware of. Read this article to see how a young therapist treated his first burn victim. This is also an example of co-treating with PT. I personally love the idea of co-treatment. Two are usually better than one.

    This is an excellent article detailing OT's involvement in the treatment of burns. Different settings and invention techniques are outlined. Great resource for anyone working with burns.

    This article gives information about the cycle of treatment (entering acute rehab, compression therapy, skin lubrication, splinting, ROM, strengthening & conditioning, and planning for discharge) for burn patients in acute rehab.

    According to AOTA, almost 1 in 5 people over the age of 65 have survived cancer. Lymphedema, a secondary problem caused by cancer, is often not addressed by physicians. However, occupational therapy can address this issue and improve quality of life for these individuals. Just another very important way that occupational therapy can make a difference.
  • Julie Noll on 04 Nov 15
     
    The growing number of people with cancer has increased the need to services such as lymphedema therapy, hospice, and palliative care. OT can help in so many ways. Who needs help "living life to the fullest" each and every day more than someone with such a grim prognosis?
  • cbouvia on 18 Nov 15
     
    This article talks about how cancer care and oncology is an emerging practice for OT. We help clients get control of their lives back by helping them gain or maintain function in their daily lives. Their lives aren't just about existence (fighting cancer) but about living.
