Caring for cancer patients - 1 views

  •  
    I feel all health care providers should read this article not just OT's. This article talks about how patients may be feeling after being diagnosed with cancer and how we should help them through this. They may not be able to do a lot of the things they were doing but these things are still important to them. It is our job to help them believe that there is still hope. As a health care provider and a daughter of someone that had been diagnosed with cancer, I totally agree with this article. Just because they are diagnosed doesn't mean they have to loose hope.

Bathing without a Battle - 7 views

shared by laygl1 on 18 Sep 14 - No Cached
  •  
    I found this article to be very interesting. It supplies tips on bathing for patients that have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. These patients tend to be resistant to a bath but I feel many clients are. When you think about someone bathing you it takes away all your dignity and privacy. This article gives us tips to make this a more comfortable situation for our clients.

    This article is short, but provides definition for Assistive Technology and the different devices that could be used. Just thought this would be helpful to refer to because there are different levels from low levels to high levels.

PubMed- Therapeutic Activities vs. Therapeutic Exercise - 5 views

  •  
    I found this article to be interesting because we are told that Therapeutic Activities is more relevant than Therapeutic Exercise and this article was about a study that showed this to be true. Although this article speaks about PT performing the test i feel it was great to read about the study being performed. Shows really what how important keeping this in mind as we enter the world of Future OTA's. The study was done on 20 patient receiving Therapeutic Exercise after a hand injury and 16 receiving therapy sessions using Therapeutic Activities that mimic ADL's after hand injury. After 3 weeks and 5 days the study showed that the Therapeutic Activities mimicing the ADL's seem to be more beneficial.

Stress, Ergonomics & Computer Injuries - 2 views

  •  
    Although we follow Ergonomics, work injuries can be caused by stress. This article is written by an OT that is also a Certified Hand Therapist. Some of Her clients tell her that their injuries started due to stress. She pin point 4 Interventions for 4 phases of stress. She also list 6 ways employers can make the work place be less stressful. I believe this article is a great resource for realizing stress may cause lots of difficulties but also encourages when we fell stressed, we need to think about these 4 intervention.
