I was very excited to talk talk about this article. During my rotation, I have found that my FE uses kinesiotape fairly often with patients, depending on condition and circumstance, obviously. I know in our MOT class/faculty, we definitely had some "doubters" in the effects kinesiotape can have. One of my patients was a lady in her 70's who had a CVA more than 10 years ago, and has since suffered from significant shoulder subluxation. She came in to therapy after trialing botox. When she came to us, she was very discouraged that botox had not helped, and also discouraged because past OT had not helped her at all, and was now dealing with significant pain from subluxation. After research and discovering this article, I discussed with my FE and we agreed that this California Tri-Pull taping method would be appropriate to try with our patient. In short- the patient found that the tape really helped her, and felt like it was the first thing that had provided her a little bit of relief in a long time. -The taping method itself actually is not too complicated, and did not take long to practice and learn before completing on a patient. In short- this article discusses the methodology for taping, as well as research that backs the effectiveness of the taping method. Overall, the study finds some mixed results in effectiveness in terms of reducing subluxation and reducing pain, but overall can be a promising adjunct to the management of the hemiplegic subluxed shoulder

Clinical reasoning

shared by Megan Applegate on 15 Nov 16 - No Cached

Megan Applegate on 15 Nov 16

This article is from the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. I felt that it went along with our discussion about becoming fieldwork educators in the future. This study researches the effectiveness of case studies that influence clinical reasoning vs, typical educational case studies. This study goes into depth about clinical reasoning and how it influences educational experiences of students. The research participants, OT students, were asked to complete intervention plans based on client needs and in response to both the medical model of clinical reasoning and paper case study educational methods of learning. Information was qualitatively reviewed to analyze the intervention plans and videotaped discussions were used to guide clinical reasoning process/learning experience. The results showed that clinical reasoning case studies, compared to traditional case studies, promoted three main themes including increased quality of intervention plans, participant confidence levels in treatment plans, and enhanced understanding of the clinical reasoning process. This study is important for FEs and educators to increase clinical reasoning process of students as well as interventions for clients.

Lavender and the Nervous System - 1 views

This article talks about the positive effect lavender essential oils can have on the nervous system. While at my site I got to use essential oils quite often with my peds patients as another for of sensory stimulation. The most interesting way I got to use it was providing my extreme sensory-seeking ped with an essential oil charm, which we use peppermint oil in, for when she returns to school so that she is better able to attend to her classroom work. It was incredible to see the positive effect it has on her, and how excited she was to use it. Kristy, my FE, also used essential oils in a "smelling game" for peds, in which she would put a few drops of an essential oil on a tissue in a cup, do this with a few different oils, peds patients were then placed prone in the net swing and asked to spin around and either find their favorite scent, or to smell each cup and identify the scent. This works both for sensory seekers & sensory avoiders.
