Evidence-Based Approach to Treating Lateral Epicondylitis Using the Occupational Adapta... - 0 views

  •  
    Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is one of the most commonly treated diagnoses we treat in the hand clinic I am currently placed for my level II rotation. This article aims to look at treating these patients with evidence-based practice and the occupational adaptation model. The occupational adaptation model is a process of adaptively responding to occupational challenges, through internal adaptations and preparations for adaptations to future occupational challenges. As occupational therapists, this model allows us to find ways for patients to continue mastering their occupations in their own unique way. In hand therapy evaluations, for lateral epicondylitis, a major focus is discovering many biomechanical measurements such as ROM, pain, sensation, strength and components of functioning. This article tells us that we should also be incorporating the OA model and discovering the client's occupations and challenges associated with those. This allows us to incorporate some occupation-based activities into the patients' treatment plans. Hand therapists should be finding ways to incorporate the psychosocial aspect of occupational therapy with the biomechanical aspects. The author explains that studies have shown that patients receiving combination of therapeutic exercise with ADL activities demonstrated statistically significant improvements in all measured parameters (pinch strength, total active range of motion, opposition, etc,) compared to groups only receiving therapeutic exercises. There is a challenge in hand therapy to bridge the gap between mechanical expectations with the holistic, client centered care of occupational therapy. In conclusion, therapist must work to educate other practitioners and work toward a blend of occupation-based and biomechanical-based treatments when working with lateral epicondylitis patients and other hand therapy patients.

Honoring the Whole Person - 1 views

    This article discusses the turn from a biomedical model to a holistic model within the long-term care setting. According to the author the biomedical model has some limitations, especially in terms of utilizing it within a long-term care facility. More appropriate and more pertinent to occupational therapy, is the utilization of the holistic model. The main goal of providing holistic care in long-term care includes maximizing physical, emotional, mental, social, and spiritual health, function, and well-being. The author concludes the article outlining some of the assumptions that are at the core when utilizing a holistic model.

What is Clinical Reasoning? - 1 views

  •  
    This 1991 AJOT article discussed clinical reasoning. The article stressed the importance of not allowing our clinical reasoning to biomechanical and biomedical focused. Rather, as occupational therapists, our clinical reasoning should focus on human world of motives, values, and beliefs.

    This article, published by AJOT in 1991, provides the reader with some insight into the basis of clinical reasoning, why clinical reasoning is important in one's profession, and how to apply clinical reasoning in one's professional career and an occupational therapy practitioner. This truly is a great article for us to read as we are currently developing clinical reasoning skills as level II fieldwork students.

    This document provides a broader definition of clinical reasoning that is associated and expected from occupational therapists. Due to the nature of our profession as being client-centered and a mix of artistic and scientific rationale, OT's are expected to provide clinical reasoning that expands beyond the medical model into a meaning-centered, interpretive model. The reason for this expanded clinical reasoning for OT's is that we are not just looking at an individual in terms of their disability, rather we look at an individual in a holistic manner.

Supervision - 0 views

  •  
    This article is not about student supervision, but occupational therapy assistant supervision. The article was located on the AOTA website and provides a model state Regulation for supervision, roles, and responsibilities during the delivery of occupational therapy services. The purpose of the model is to provide a template for use by state agencies and occupational therapy regulatory boards when drafting or revising regulations to govern the clinical supervision of occupational therapy assistants, limited permit holders, and aides. The model is intended to help safeguard the public health, safety and welfare by establishing guidelines that are consistent with professional standards and accepted practice in the profession. I think this is a good model to have in place to guide state regulation policies.

    This article specifically targets occupational therapist within a medical-model based setting in hopes to address ethical issues often seen and debated specifically within a medical rehabilitation facility. The article provides a two-part study revolving around the influences that Occupational Therapist have and can have on the development of policies and ethical practice. The author provides a wide variety of resources and makes a personal conclusion that the current policies and service model within health care generate ethical concerns particularly for rehab therapist and professionals.

Occupational therapists' experiences of improvement work: a journey towards sustainable... - 0 views

  •  
    This article aims to use a qualitative descriptive study to describe occupational therapists experiences and improvements in work after adopting the Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM). The OTIPM is a client-centered, top down, occupation-focused OT model of practice. The assumptions of the model are that every person is unique, has the will to engage in meaningful occupations, occupations are the primary therapeutic means and engagement in occupations in the central focus in OT. The study was conducted in an acute care hospital in Sweden starting in 2001. They were selected because the therapists wanted to improve OT services and promote evidence-practice in their hospital. The participants participated in a total of six semi-structured focus interviews in which the occupational therapists were asked to describe their experiences of the long-term improvements in work, attitudes toward improvements work and thoughts on how this improved work impacts the goal to change to a more sustainable and evidence-based OT practice in their setting. The first three interviews were in 2006 and the last three were in 2011. The interviews were analyzed and broken down into common themes among therapists. The first theme is that the therapists found their thoughts and actions were transformed on an individual and group level after adopting the OTIPM. The second theme discovered how the therapists dealt with conflicting feelings and attitudes toward change. The final theme describes a shared professional culture. In conclusion, the investigators discovered from the 10-year study and testimonies of Swedish therapists that the use of OTIPM can lead to the integration of evidence-based knowledge that has long-lasting achievements in practice.

Pilot study of a parent training program for young children with autism - 0 views

  •  
    The school that I am currently placed at is in the process of becoming the first PLAY Project certified and trained school. The PLAY Project Home Consultation (PPHC) program trains parents of children with autistic spectrum disorders using the DIR/Floortime model of Stanley Greenspan MD. Sixty-eight children completed the 8-12 month program. Pre/post ratings of videotapes by blind raters using the Functional Emotional Assessment Scale (FEAS) showed significant increases in child subscale scores. Translated clinically, 45.5 percent of children made good to very good functional developmental progress. There were no significant differences between parents in the FEAS subscale scores at either pre-or post-intervention and all parents scored at levels suggesting they would be effective in working with their children. Overall satisfaction with PPHC was 90 percent. Average cost of intervention was $2500/ year. Despite important limitations, this pilot study of The PLAY Project Home Consulting model suggests that the model has potential to be a cost-effective intervention for young children with autism.
