    This is a systematic review that looks at the evidence for the effects of exercise on ADL functioning of people with AD. This review also looked at the effects of exercise on cognition and mood and on physical performance. The initial search for articles for the systematic review began with over 2000 articles, and the reviewers narrowed it down to 6 articles. Overall, they found that exercise can, in fact improve ADL function in people with AD. Exercise can also improve physical performance, and may slow the decline in cognition and boost mood in those with AD.

    This article used 6 other articles to review effects of exercise on ADL performance of those with Alzheimer's Disease. Occupational therapy intervention that includes aerobic and strengthening exercises may help improve independence in ADLs and improve physical performance in people with Alzheimer's. More research needs to done to identify specific components of intervention and optimal dosage to develop clinical guidelines. At my SNF placement, I have worked with many residents with Alzheimer's. We do use strength training with most patients is they are able to do it, and we also work to increase endurance as well. It is good to see evidence to back up treatment

    This article discusses how PTSD can affect ADL and IADL participation. I liked this article because I have seen firsthand with my vet how PTSD has really affected their lives.

    This article from AOTA discusses the role of OT in palliative care and relates to the psychosocial needs of clients in this area. It examines the occupational therapy approach in meaningful occupations as holistic and client-centered which "fosters a sense of independence and self-efficacy amidst the challenges of living with debilitating symptoms. The ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADL) is an important goal for patients with life threatening illness, and also has implications for work, social life, relationships, and family and home structure." The article provides examples of intervention for clients in palliative care including, ADLs, IADLs, rest and sleep, play, leisure, social participation, and interpersonal. I think the interpersonal, leisure, and social participation aspects of OT in palliative care going along with clients psychosocial needs. Engaging clients in discussion, coping strategies, and encouraging communication among family members are essential roles of an OT in palliative care.

    This article was located on AOTA's website. It is about the role of occupational therapy in palliative care. The article defines palliative care, occupational therapy, and how the two are connective. The areas of occupation are outlined, and the role of OT in these occupations. The author discusses the importance in not only providing physical comfort to clients in delivering palliative care, but providing psychosocial comfort as well. The article highlights meeting psychosocial and emotional needs of clients as well as families of clients and their caregivers.

Occupational Therapy cognitive assessments

    The study examined two assessments, one an occupation based assessment (AMPS) and body function assessment (LACL). 30 clients who recently experienced a stroke took both assessments at home. Two groups of participants were formed, one group took the AMPS first and the other group took the LACLS first. Subjects were allowed to choose tasks that were known to them from the AMPS. Data was analyzed to assess the ability for the AMPS and LACLS to predict independence with ADLs and subsequently IADLs. The results confirmed the hypothesis of this study: a moderate positive correlation was found between the LACL and both the motor and the process scales of the AMPS, suggesting that although correlations between the tests were found, they do not fully examine the same concepts. The results also indicated moderate positive correlation between the LACL and the AMPS, yet there were discrepancies between the two tools in the determination of independence in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Clients who were found to be independent by one assessment were found to be dependent by the other. The authors suggest the use of these tools in conjuction with observation of ADLs and IADLs to predict independence levels. The authors also identified areas of each tool that was assessed in conjunction with predicting levels of independence with focus directed at judgement and comprehension to predict functional performance as supported by previous literature (Fong, Chan, and Au, 2001).

    This article reviews the literature on treating people who have had a stroke. An extensive search in MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, AMED, and SCISEARCH was performed. This review identified small but significant effect sizes for the efficacy of comprehensive OT on primary ADL, extended ADL, and social participation. However, more research will need to be completed on this topic. This article is a nice overview to see what is being used on patients who have encountered a stroke and how successful it has been.

    This is an ADL assessment we're considering to use at my facility to help with "standardizing" our outcomes. The hospital in which we receive most of our referrals uses this assessment...the carryover would benefit to document progress throughout the therapy process. The article itself examines the accuracy of this assessment for discharge planning and concludes the accuracy is good/fair.

    This test could be used in acute care. This assessment offers a hospital version (MET_HV) that would be appropriate in the VA setting. This test was developed for use with a wider range of participants than the original version; it has more concrete rules, simplification of task demands and space provided on the instruction sheet for the patient to record the information they were to collect. There are 12 separate subtasks within four sets of simple tasks. These four task sets are as follows: 1. The patient must complete six specific errands (purchase 3 items, use the phone, collect and envelope from reception and send a letter to an external address), 2. The patient must obtain and write down four items of designated information (e.g. the opening time of a shop on Saturday), 3. The patient must meet the assessor outside of the hospital reception in 20 minutes after the test had begun and state the time, 4. The client must inform the assessor when he/she finishes the test. The test cannot be administered to patients confined to bed due to the nature of the questions. The test would be difficult to complete on patients instructed to only get up with help as they would have to have a nurse available at the time they need to meet some of the task requirements. Both validity and reliability have been established for this test for various populations (see citation for specifics).

    Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is one of the most commonly treated diagnoses we treat in the hand clinic I am currently placed for my level II rotation. This article aims to look at treating these patients with evidence-based practice and the occupational adaptation model. The occupational adaptation model is a process of adaptively responding to occupational challenges, through internal adaptations and preparations for adaptations to future occupational challenges. As occupational therapists, this model allows us to find ways for patients to continue mastering their occupations in their own unique way. In hand therapy evaluations, for lateral epicondylitis, a major focus is discovering many biomechanical measurements such as ROM, pain, sensation, strength and components of functioning. This article tells us that we should also be incorporating the OA model and discovering the client's occupations and challenges associated with those. This allows us to incorporate some occupation-based activities into the patients' treatment plans. Hand therapists should be finding ways to incorporate the psychosocial aspect of occupational therapy with the biomechanical aspects. The author explains that studies have shown that patients receiving combination of therapeutic exercise with ADL activities demonstrated statistically significant improvements in all measured parameters (pinch strength, total active range of motion, opposition, etc,) compared to groups only receiving therapeutic exercises. There is a challenge in hand therapy to bridge the gap between mechanical expectations with the holistic, client centered care of occupational therapy. In conclusion, therapist must work to educate other practitioners and work toward a blend of occupation-based and biomechanical-based treatments when working with lateral epicondylitis patients and other hand therapy patients.
