    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 article is about a study that is being researched on a new type of skin for severe burns. It has not been approved by the FDA, but it was said that mostly like it will be. This new skin is a water based formula called hydrogel. Severe burns do a lot of damage, but "This treatment promoted the development of new blood vessels and the regeneration of complex layers of skin, including hair follicles and the glands that produce skin oil," said Sharon Gerecht. So if this new study is approved, it is going to be one of the greatest things invented!!!

    This is a very interesting and informative article on the pre-prosthetic treatment OT gives a client. The client will be assessed by OT for things like ROM, scar management, pain, phantom pain and sensation, and desensitization. Client interview helps the practitioner choose a correct prosthetic. Always consider the psychosocial aspect. There are different things to consider if the amputation is unilateral or bilateral. The OT will help prepare the limb to wear the prosthetic. Mirror therapy can be used as a treatment option for phantom pain. The OT will help in ADL training, stump care, prosthetic care, and psychosocial care.

    I found this really neat resource for individuals going through the cancer process. This program is for the patients at Columbia - Presbyterian Medical Center who are going through cancer treatments and the volunteers of this program will comfort them, provide them with information, or just sit with them when they are getting their treatment just to pass the time. All of the volunteers have had cancer so they understand the different aspects that it entails. This would be a great idea for other hospitals to implement.

    Although not curable, RA symptoms can be alleviated by the same relaxation and breathing techniques we have already learned. Cold and warm compresses can be used to help with inflammation and pain. Mind/body therapies have been shown to be of great help to those with RA. Progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, meditation, and biofeedback are all good techniques to teach our clients when traditional medications are not enough. Also, these techniques can be used in many other areas.
