What we should have known for the test about those learning domains. - 1 views

    Interesting that there are a few Bloom's pyramids floating around out there. When you do a search, it brings up a new "revised" version. Even comparing notes before the exam, people had different layouts.

    What can OT do for a person with a hip fracture or hip replacement? More info in the full post. Don't count on the pt. to remember, as you may not have done a full cognitive eval yet, and it may have slipped even a very intact person's mind after the anesthesia.

Student stress - 0 views

  •  
    Since we are all students, I thought I'd research some tips for us on how to manage stress! One thing I struggle with is my anxiety with exams. I tend to focus so much of my time on studying and worrying whether or not I'm going to pass a test or not. I found that I need to make more time for myself, relax and let my brain breath. This article gives some wonderful tips on surviving exams: how to organize your notes and schedule time to study, rest and relaxation, and how to handle stress on exam day.

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 Woman Had The Best Response To A Comment On Her Disability - 0 views

  •  
    This is such a good story, not at all what I expected when I started to read. I feel like this relates to us, and is an issue our clients will face and I don't want to give away the ending. It is not long at all but it is about a lady who parks in a handicap spot and comes out to find a note on her car...
