    I thought this was a great article relating to the psychosocial needs of clients. Working in an SCI unit, a lot of our clients have mobility issues and quite a few of them have service dogs. In reading this article, it discusses how social participation for people with disabilities is an important factor for OT's to consider. This research helps to demonstrate that having a service dog helps clients to increase leisure activities and community participation. It also found that the use of service dogs, allow people to participate more in meaningful occupations.

    The functional outcome of a flexor tendon injury after repair depends on multiple factors. The postoperative management of tendon injuries has paved a sea through many mobilization protocols. The improved understanding of splinting techniques has promoted the understanding and implication of these mobilization protocols.

Early Mobility; Acute care OT

    This article focuses on the importance of initiating therapy services, both OT and PT, early, to help increase independence at discharge. The study took place at 2 hospitals; subjects were patients who had been on a ventilator for less than 72 hours and were functionally independent prior to hospitalization. This study mentioned how important it is for early mobility to be provided to patients in the ICU. The authors concluded that therapeutic interventions provided during interruption of sedation, even PROM, helped the patients have shorter periods of delirium, less days on a ventilator during the follow-up period, and return to independent functional status after discharge.

    This study explores the relationship between screenings of executive function and measures of functional mobility in subacute stroke patients. Preliminary findings suggest that some functional mobility measures have greater associations with cognitive measures than others.
