This website provides information regarding the form of Tai Chi that was taught in the program that I assisted with during my 2nd rotation. The Tai Chi for Health programs (TCH) taught by Dr. Paul Lam are recommended by the CDC, Arthritis Foundations and many organizations around the world. This specific form is to help individuals with arthritis or chronic pain and can be easily modified for individuals who are unable to complete full movements due to pain or need to remain seated during activity.

This article examines the effect of a prefabricated soft thumb-base orthosis on pain, hand strength, and activity performance in persons with osteoarthritis of the CMC joint. At my facility, I see quite a bit of CMC arthritis and wanted to explore the use of an orthotic since most of my pt.'s say it helps with pain and protection of their thumb. Much to my surprise, this study found that the soft prefabricated orthosis seems to have an immediate pain-relieving effect during use, but no effects in terms of less hand pain, or improved strength or activity performance when not worn. There were no significant difference found between the experimental (orthosis+exercises) and control (exercises only) groups.

This article is in regards to continuous passive motion after a TKR. This article includes follow up information longer term than most articles that I have found. The overall consensus appears to be the same throughout these articles.
