This article discusses the importance of utilizing proper bedside manner as a healthcare professional. As healthcare professionals, we are constantly in close contact with our patients, colleagues, and supervisors. In order to demonstrate professionalism we must not only possess good manners but we must establish mutual respect within our daily interactions while on the job whether the interaction be among patients, their families, co-workers, or supervisors. This article highlights that it is our responsibility to set the tone when interacting with patients and their families. As healthcare professionals, we are constantly being assessed by others through our body language, appearance, and the way in which we communicate. Thus, in order to gain our patient's trust and respect we must make them comfortable and present ourselves in a professional manner. Part of demonstrating professionalism includes being kind and empathetic, truly hearing our patient's needs and encouraging them to express any concerns that they may have during the course of their treatment. This article briefly outlines a protocol developed by the Sullivan Luallin Group to help healthcare personnel demonstrate a higher level of professionalism when interacting with patients. The C.L.E.A.R. protocol stands for connect, listen, explain, ask, and re-connect, and serves to provide professionals with guidance concerning proper ways to provide services to patients. The conclusion of the article outlines specific techniques to utilize in order to address each aspect of the C.L.E.A.R. protocol in order to render a higher level of professionalism within the field of occupational therapy.

This purpose of this study was to measure the gains in hand function during a 3 month rehab period for people with c5 injuries when wearing a static orthosis at night compared to individuals who did not wear the splint at night. They found that the there was no significant difference in hand function when wearing the splint. The conclusion of this study was that future studies need to examine if increased daily wear or longer period of time wearing the splint (more than the 3 month study) would allow splits to have more an effect on hand function. t

Promoting functional hand activities is a crucial rehabilitation goal for persons with tetraplegic spinal cord injury (SCI) [1-4]. Some people with mid- to low-level cervical (C) SCI achieve useful tenodesis grasp, which is opposition of the thumb and the index and middle fingers through reciprocal wrist extension and finger flexion, with the aid of a wrist-driven flexor hinge orthosis (WDFHO) [5-6].
