Here is a sheet that shows what area of the hand is affected with certain arthritic dx. I am a visual learner and this makes it easier to understand what movements are limited.

Neuro- sensor in the brain helps woman control prosthetic hand. This was posted years ago but the idea of this is pretty neat. The monitor seems fairly large to be comfortable though.

I like this handout cause it doesn't look like a medical handout! It looks fun and those that just had an amputation need a good laugh. The handout is a cartoon which makes it a little more interesting.

I think teaching someone how to tie shoes is one of the most complex things ever! Here is a step by step instructional page on how to tie laces with one hand. This even gives written and visual instructions! :)

I think everyone should watch this video that is working with cancer patients. Knowing what our patients might experience will be our biggest tool when treating.

I have actually seen this on Zulily as a white elephant gift for Christmas. However, its a lot more realistic then drinking out of the same cup everyday. These grips can be put on almost any drink. The design makes it even easy to slide in your purse or maybe even your pocket.

Even though we don't deal a lot with our patients medications. I did think this was an interesting tool. You type in the drug and other common medications to see if their is an interaction between the drugs. My grandmother currently has issues with interactions between certain medications and this will be a great tool for my mother to use.

Basic information on how a pressure ulcers start, recommendations on what practitioners can do, pt. can do, risk factors, interventions, assessments, and evaluations.

Quick resource for average ROM measurements.

As therapist we will probably have these awesome ideas on things we could do in therapy but are limited to a budget. Here are a bunch of therapy tools we can use that are super cheap!!

This is a great poster on how a client and their family can make their home more wheelchair accessible. Having a sheet like this would be a great way to discuss with clients how well their home is wheelchair accessible and the changes they could make.

I like the HEP that can be used for numbness in the hands. The handout can be saved as a picture and increase size to give to patients.

I like this idea of creating desensitization dowels for clients that have hypersensitivity to touch. This is fairly inexpensive and easy to make.

Even though this is a teachers site, I love the idea of sequencing activity worksheets. These could be something simple that the client can work through on the piece of paper or use the paper as a guide to complete certain activities. Some of the worksheets to require payment but it would be so easy to type up a sequencing activity to save for future patients.

Check this out! Tons of OT interventions ! Description , purpose, and materials are listed. Some activities are more related to children, however, can be modified or changed to focus on adults needs.

I like this poster on how to prevent falls with the elderly. I feel like this would be great for not only the patient but family to understand ways to prevent falls.

Sometimes we can get stuck on ways our clients can save energy. This short list is ideas how every client can improve endurance for other activities by changing the way they eat and get ready.

This quick guide provides not only the instructions but the scoring sheet as well.

I like this link cause it gives us a visual on how the exercises should be performed. Its also a great video to recommend to COPD pts. Often times our clients may forget what we taught them during their session this link would be great for them to refer back to.

I posted this link awhile back on my Pinterest, I really enjoy what all this website has to offer us as future practitioners. It literally has everything from information that we can use as practitioners and information that we can give clients. This website addresses pain, ADLs, assessments, certain dx (cancer, diabetes, you name it its probably on here). I advice everyone check this site out. I feel like this site has come up before in another course but maybe I just used it.
