As the title suggests, this article discusses various occupational therapy intervention strategies, as well as their effectiveness, for the treatment of patients with CVAs.

I chose this article because I treat many CVA patients in my setting. I was curious to see how the typical VA treatments related to other hospitals with their treatments. The results were very similar. Mainly we work on functional activities and we add in some exercising to strengthen and further enhance the functional abilities.

this articles reviews the literature on interventions used for treating people who have had a stroke. The most typical approach for treating strokes is using NDT (nuerodevelopmental therapy). This approach includes electrical stimulation, EMG biofeedback, and motor learning approaches. This article discusses other therapy approaches that aren't so common, but do have literature on them. I am currently a neuro site and this article is very helpful.

This article briefly explains several evidence-based interventions for stroke, including more traditional types of interventions, newer treatment techniques, and complementary treatments. The article points out, however that the evidence is not pointing to one particular treatment that is superior to the others, and therefore, more rigorous research is needed.

AOTA. Occupational Therapy Assistant Supervision Requirements. This AOTA document summarizes laws for supervision of COTAs by state. I compared some of the supervision laws of Ohio and Kentucky because I will most likely be working in one or both of these states. As I read through the specific laws for each of these states, I was surprised by the differences. For practitioners living near the border of multiple states, being well-versed in specific state laws will be essential for protecting our licensure. I summarized just a couple specific laws of these two states to give you a better idea of how they may differ state to state. This is a very important document to keep handy, and it goes into much more detail than what I've provided here. In Kentucky, supervising OTs must provide no less than 4 hours per month of general supervision for each COTA, which must include no less than 2 hours per month of face-to-face supervision. This law is more specific in Ohio. In Ohio, OTs must provide supervision at least once a week for all COTAs who are in their first year of practice. The OT must provide supervision at least once a month for COTAs beyond their first year of practice. Ohio law specifies that co-signing client documentation alone does not meet the minimum level of supervision. Supervision is specified as an interactive process that includes review of the following: client assessment, client reassessment, treatment/intervention plan, intervention, and discontinuation of treatment/intervention plan. In Kentucky, OTs may not have more than the equivalent of 3 full time COTAs under supervision at any 1 time. In Ohio, the number of COTAs an OT can supervise varies based upon the OTs job duties. If the OT performs evaluations, direct treatment, and supervision of OT personally, an OT may supervise up to 4 COTAs. However, if the OT does NOT provide direct treatment, the OT may supervise up to 6 COTAs.

This article focusing on techniques that can be used to develop clinical reasoning for Occupational Therapy students and new practitioners, in which it argues is the basis of all occupational therapy treatment. The article presents that using case studies within the classroom setting provides the ability for students to clinically reason, problem solve and develop treatment skills in a controlled way. It suggests using guiding questions based on student weakness that will promote growth and creativity in developing clinical reasoning skills. This article must have some merit because case studies have been used and continue to be used in a variety of classroom settings to this day including our own.

This article discusses the treatments for trigger finger release which were splinting, corticosteroid injections, and surgery. The article discussed wearing a MCP blocking splint in 0 degrees for 3-6 weeks for different periods of time dependent upon therapist requests would be appropriate. Corticosteroid injections were preferred for immediate relief, however there is some debating going on for how many times you should get the steroid before it starts to have negative effects. Lastly, therapy should be started 10-14 days post-op for scar management post trigger finger release surgery. This articles also discusses the use of NSAIDs and cold therapy for management of symptoms for trigger finger. The articles goes onto discuss that choosing which treatment option should be based upon the severity, duration, and previous treatments given. This article helped me understand the different routes patients can take prior to coming to therapy after surgery.

Although we are still students, I think it is important that we understand the difference in supervision and mentoring. Through supervision on has the ability to enhance their knowledge and skills in order to provide treatment to their clients as a professional clinician. Having supervision from a clinician who has more exposure to the field allows and entry-level practitioner to gain more knowledge and ideas concerning their clients, goals, treatments, and situations that may affect treatment. Unlike a supervisor, a mentor usually finds a mentee. A mentor often assists a mentee who is trying to reach higher levels that they have already achieved. In a mentoring relationship, it is for a longer duration and often conversation topics are broad and free-flowing without a goal in mind.

Do we all know why we are doing what we are doing in treatment? Are our treatment approaches client-centered? Is our treatment occupation based? This webpage provides a quick definition of patient-centered and clinical reasoning. At the end there is a reflection activity that is suggested for CIs to do with their students; however, more than likely they don't know about this activity. So be proactive, do it yourself, learn for the experience, and embrace the experience.
