    I found this article very helpful in understanding the usefulness in botox when working with patients, especially stroke patients, who have extreme spasticity in their upper limbs. This articles discusses the reliability and effectiveness in the use of botulinum toxin A when used in managing spasticity post stroke. The studies provided in this article support chemodenervation with botox A which helps with treating focal muscle over activity and spasticity post stroke. Botox A was most effective in the elbow flexors, ankle planter flexors, and intrinsics of the hand and wrist. It was noted that repeated injections of botox A resulted in longer waits between each injection without change in next dose. I found this useful when working at my site these past 12 weeks because I had a patient who had spasticity in L UE and recently received botox in L UE. The patient now how some grasp/release control and is able to initiate biceps in order to flex at the elbow.

    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.
