This study was performed to identify the ability for individuals to adjust following spinal cord injury and acute rehabilitation treatment using the PAIS, the psychological adjustment to illness scale. Although this article is dated 1991- I feel that it has extreme relevance to the population. Specifically results of this study were extremely variable, some individuals were able to adjust without difficulty while others reported extreme difficulty with the major life change. I feel that this can be applicable to any traumatic injury--even outside of spinal cord in that experiences and adaption can be very individualized and should be approached as such. (Exactly why OT's approach to individuality and looking at the person as a whole is so crucial following a traumatic injury)

This is a great example of a future study that will consider the psychosocial aspect of individuals after a musculoskeletal injury and subsequent occupational therapy intervention. The study focuses on hand injuries and this type of injury is extremely relevant to my current clinical setting which is an outpatient hand clinic. The studies primary outcome measure is return to work vs no return to work. The secondary outcome measures focus on psychosocial questioners, work environment, demographics, and motor and sensory testing. This is a great idea for a study that would take into account the psychosocial aspect of the individuals with hand injuries and see if there is any correlation with returning to work.

I am using this study as an example of clinical reasoning in the field. The systematic review of k tape effectiveness for musculoskeletal injuries found 6 studies that met inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria. Only 3 of the 6 studies found K tape to have significant positive outcomes, 2 studies concluded that K tape had positive short-term benefits for shoulder injuries and 1 study found to have positive short-term benefits for whiplash injuries. The review concluded that there is insufficient evidence for or against K tape effectiveness on musculoskeletal injuries, however, the patient may perceive a benefit from its use. After reading this article a therapist has to use there best clinical reasoning when treating there patients with K tape . A therapist has to consider that K-taping may provide a perceived pain reduction to the patient and should be used in conjunction with other modalities and therapy approaches. However K- tape is not meant to be a stand-alone treatment. Patients experience and clinical observation by skilled therapists should be taken into account for K-tape use.

Advances in health care science allow more people with spinal cord injuries to live to old age. The purpose of this study was to determine those factors that contribute to the well-being of middle-aged and elderly spinal cord-injured people. One hundred spinal cord-injured people, ranging in age from 40 to 73 years, completed an extensive structured interview. In general, respondents reported a degree of well-being on the same measures of satisfaction and depression that was slightly lower than that of similarly aged nondisabled people. Pearson correlations indicated that people experiencing high levels of well-being reported high levels of perceived control, had higher levels of social support, and judged their health status to be good. These people also viewed their disability more favorably, tended to have higher incomes and more education, were employed, and were more religious than those indicating lower levels of well-being. The severity of the spinal cord injury was not correlated highly with subjective well-being, although there was a tendency for those with greater disability to report lower levels of well-being. People who were younger, who incurred their disability at a younger age, and who blamed themselves and felt they could have avoided the injury also tended to report higher levels of well-being.

PSYCHOSOCIAL:Assessments measuring quality of life in individuals with spinal cord injury is lacking. The author of this article looks at quality of life consisting of 3 components: quality of life as a subjective well-being, quality of life as a utility, and quality of life as achievement. For those with spinal cord injury, they experience so many changes in their environment, affecting every aspect of life. For many, they become depressed, are not hopeful, and have even committed suicide. This article suggest ways in which quality of life can be assessed, which can assist the therapist in developing treatment plans which fulfill not only the client's physical needs, but their mental and social needs as well.

Researchers looked at whether client centered OT effected patients with spinal cord injury. Using the FIM, Role Checklist and Craig Handicap Reporting and Assessment Technique, they found that the OT group took on a limited number of new roles and there was no significant difference.

A single subject design that looks at the use of sensory-based treatment to treat self-injurious behaviors in adults with profound mental retardation across the domains a) demonstrates the clinical reasoning involved in the assessment and treatment planning process, b) documents the efficacy of multiple short treatment sessions spread throughout the day c) presents an alternative model of service provision in which direct care staff provide sensory and adaptive activities under the supervision of an occupational therapist. Reisman found that the use of sensory integration is a valid approach to improve to improve self-injurious behaviors for this population.

This systematic review evaluated and asked the main clinical question, "What occupational therapy interventions are effective in the rehabilitation of individuals with work-related low back injuries and illnesses?". Findings indicated that the evidence is insufficient to support or refute the effectiveness of exercise therapy and other conservative treatments for sub-acute and chronic low back injuries. However, this review supports that interventions should be holistic and client-centered through multiple OT strategies; specifically including activities that address clients' psychosocial needs in addition to his or her physical impairments.
