This article discusses evidence regarding the effectiveness of treatment for people with Parkinson's disease. The researchers focused on a multidisciplinary approach within the inpatient rehabilitation environment. The study included 68 subjects with a diagnosis of Parkinson's. Throughout their length of stay, subjects participated in a combination of OT, PT, and ST for a minimum of 3 hours per day, 5-7 days per week. Intervention focused primarily on functional training, stretching, ROM, flexibility, and strengthening exercises. Following their intense rehabilitation, significant improvements in FIM total, cognitive, and motor scores were demonstrated in 71% of the subjects.

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).

assessments inpatient care

This assessment is based on observation of a patient in a more natural environment/setting and looks at if they initiate expected activities such as, turning off appliances, closing doors when they leave, doing dishes, prepping dinner.. etc within 15 min of expected time. This is looked at and recorded each day of the week. In acute care this is just not very applicable, as we don't watch patients all day, every day of the week and the Vets are in an unfamiliar setting where they likely won't initiate such activities even if cognition is unimpaired. Even the activities that do occur in the hospital setting, such as eating lunch, don't apply very well because the score is acquired by adding up how they did each day of the week and it is not very practical to see a patient every day for the entirety of their lunch for a week straight. This may be a nice assessment for the nursing home to use in some instances.

This article looks at the efficacy of a technique called tapping facilitation for CVA patients with hemiplegic UEs. I got to learn about this technique with an inpatient who had a massive CVA when she went in for open heart surgery. Her right arm and hand were completely flaccid. We used this to work on regaining elbow flexion & extension, as well as wrist flexion and extension. This technique involves putting the targeted muscle group on a stretch (i.e. elbow/wrist flexors or extensors) and firmly tapping the muscle bellies until there was a palpable to visually noticeable "twitch" in those muscles. After this twitch was felt or observed we would passively take the elbow or wrist through the ROM we were working on so that the brain could reform the connections.
