    This article is an example of what one would use if searching for evidenced based practice methods. My current fieldwork experience is in a skilled nursing facility and we frequently use the e-stim for strengthening and pain. Therefore for an article on evidence based practice i decided to search for an evidence based article that would prove what we are doing with the e-stim machine is beneficial. The article is a literature review and seeks to gather the evidence for e-stim and muscle strengthening. The results say that theoretically the e-stim is a complimentary tool for muscle strengthening. However, the e-stim still has little evidence for muscle strengthening and does not show that it is any better than traditional strengthening methods.

    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

    The tree theme method (TTM) is an interventions that utilizes drawing/painting trees symbolic of different periods in a patient's life. These artwork creations are then used to begin sharing life stories. This study investigated the long-term effects of TTM upon self-perceptions of well-being and occupational performance. Outcomes of the study indicate that the TTM may be beneficial to patients' well-being and performance of everyday occupations.

    This article discusses the challenge OT is facing to validate and justify its services due to health care reform, funding caps, and decreased access to services. This can be difficult as the core of OT lies in evaluating and treating function, however, due to the wide scope of practice defining and measuring function in a unified way can be difficult. For example there are two widely used ways of looking at function: the top-down and the bottom-up approaches. There is also challenges because some facilities rely on "house assessments" versus utilizing standardized assessments. A more unified method of measuring and defining function needs developed in order to show OTs value across the board.

    The aim of this qualitative study was to describe what characterizes the therapeutic strategies used by occupational therapists during self-care training.Twelve occupational therapists working with clients who had had a stroke (n=6) or spinal cord injury (n=6) were interviewed and asked to tell a therapeutic story focusing on the self-care training process of one client. Data were transcribed and analyzed using the Empirical, Phenomenological, Psychological (EPP) method, a qualitative method. Findings showed that the occupational therapists' strategies focused primarily on how to create a relationship built on trust with their clients, how to find the right way to motivate clients, how to support the setting of goals, and how to provide enabling occupational experience and adjust training to the needs of the client, rather than focusing on teaching clients how to use technical and compensatory strategies.One conclusion from this study is that occupational therapists could, through understanding the individual's unique situation, vary their strategies and adapt themselves to meeting clients' experiences and needs during self-care training.

    This article examined what questions and clinical reasoning seasoned allied health professionals ask when posed with a challenging case. Clinical reasoning is crucial as a health care professional and the interesting aspect of this research was to determine how clinicians teach this valuable skill to students. The data illustrated that the popular method was a gradual exposure of clients and self reflection. Additionally, the study identifies and outlines various questions that students can ask themselves when dealing with a client. I really enjoyed this because I feel that these are the two methods that I have most employed in my development of clinical reasoning. I feel that the information in this article can be a great resource us as students, especially when we are dealing with a particularly difficult case.

    The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the factors influencing the clinical reasoning of occupational therapists and how they manage the decision-making process. Twelve occupational therapy practitioners working in mental and physical dysfunction fields participated in this study. The sampling method was purposeful and interviews were continued until data saturation. There were three main themes. The first theme: socio-cultural conditions included three subthemes: 1- client beliefs; 2- therapist values and beliefs; 3- social attitude to disability. The second theme: individual attributions included two subthemes 1- client attributions; 2- therapist attributions. The final theme was the workplace environment with the three subthemes: 1- knowledge of the managers of rehabilitation services, 2- working in an inter-professional team; 3- limited clinical facilities and resources. Research indicates that numerous complex factors can influence the clinical reasoning of occupational therapists. The knowledge and situation of the clients; the attributions of the therapists, social attitudes to disability and the workplace conditions of the therapists can positively or negatively influence reasoning and clinical decisions. In this study, the influence of the attitudes and beliefs upon reasoning was different to other studies. Understanding these factors, especially the socio-cultural basis can play a significant role in the quality of occupational therapy services and has a role in training occupational therapy students in clinical reasoning in this social context.

    This article discusses treatment methods for patients who would benefit from cardiac rehabilitation. The article outlines a 12 week program that starts with preparatory exercises to improve heart health prior to participating in occupations. The article then goes into details of how to introduce the patient to their occupations after building the functional strength and endurance needed to participate in them.

    This article is one of the articles I used in a K tape in service for this rotation. I used this article as an example of evidenced based practice for my project. This systematic review focused on the efficacy of taping for pain reduction associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The review found 10 articles that met inclusion, exclusion, and quality standards. The review found that k-taping significantly increased pain-free range of motion in shoulder flexion and abduction, however, there is still insufficient evidence to conclusively state that k tape alone or in conjunction with other methods is effective for pain reduction in rotator cuff tendinopathy.

    This article discusses a new method for evaluating students' competencies and performances during clinic experiences. Due to the increasing demand for higher education and increasing clinical experiences for medical professions, more and more student are required to participate in on-site learning experiences in order to obtain their degree. Unfortunately, there is a lack of literature to support assessments to accurately determine occupational therapy students' level of learning and progress during on-site teaching scenarios. The author of this article discusses an in-depth analysis of a new assessment developed for occupational therapy on-site clinical experiences. The assessment includes a five-point scale with 42 items in six domains. These domains include communication, documentation, safety and judgment, evaluation, intervention and professional behaviors. The five points range from dependent to self-directed. Professional literature and reasoning for domain and scale development are included in the article. The author concludes by stating that further research development and psychometric development needs to be completed in order to effectively incorporate the assessment into current clinical sites. The authors encourage occupational therapy programs to use the assessment and collaborate with the authors to further contribute to these areas of development.

    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.
