OT in the Burn Unit - 2 views

    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.

    This is a Prezi that was created by St. John's Rehab (The Role of OT in Burn Rehabilitation). I thought it was pretty neat to see a Prezi done by an actual professional organization. It has a lot of great information.

    Because rotator cuff repairs can be extremely complex, rehabilitation is often extensive, lasting three to six months. To rehabilitate patients, occupational therapists use activities that mirror the demands of the patients' occupations -- unlike physiotherapists, who use exercises as the primary means of rehabilitation. However, occupational thera...

    In our combined lab with PTA students, one of my scenarios involved tennis elbow. This video explains some helpful exercises for this condition and would be good to share with patients. It also explains that tennis elbow is now seen as being degenerative rather than inflammatory and as tendinopathy instead of tendinitis.

    I really like these 5 tips on how to improve posture. Even though these are exercises I believe it would be a great idea to give clients information about these exercises to improve posture when they are away from our services.

    This infographic offers information on apps that would be beneficial for an aging population. Two apps that stuck out to me were the "Pillboxie" app that helps with medication management and "Silver Surf" which is an adapted web browser that includes larger navigation buttons and white-on-black graphics which allow for better viewing in all lighting situations.

    Interesting information and such a proactive treatment for clients at home! Yoga can help to relieve arthritis pain by creating more mobility in the joints and flexibility in the muscles around the joints. While pain should be respected, this article does point out the "use it or lose it" idea. Not to mention the other benefits Yoga would offer, such as deep breathing to reduce stress.
