This website provides information regarding the form of Tai Chi that was taught in the program that I assisted with during my 2nd rotation. The Tai Chi for Health programs (TCH) taught by Dr. Paul Lam are recommended by the CDC, Arthritis Foundations and many organizations around the world. This specific form is to help individuals with arthritis or chronic pain and can be easily modified for individuals who are unable to complete full movements due to pain or need to remain seated during activity.

Community reintegration and activity constraints significantly improved for people with chronic stroke after an 8-wk intervention combining yoga and group occupational therapy (OT) for fall risk management. Occupational therapists may wish to add yoga and group OT to community or hospital settings to improve similar outcomes.

The purpose of this study was to to determine the feasibility and efficacy of home-based MusicGlove therapy. The findings of the study showed MusicGlove therapy was not superior to conventional tabletop exercises for the primary end point but was nevertheless feasible and led to a significantly greater increase in self-reported functional use and quality of movement of the impaired hand than conventional home exercises.

This purpose of this study was to discuss the different measurement tools available for evaluating the upper limb of persons with tetrapelgia and if they are accurate. Findings show that the grasp and release test is recommended for clinical trials involving persons in the chronic stages of SCI. While muscle strength testing and electrodiagnostics can be useful measures in acute clinical trials and outcomes studies, standardized measures of hand function are difficulty because they require a sitting balance and endurance tat many people with acute tetraplegia simply do not have. Overall, the study found that there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to determine the best assessment tool for upper limb function in SCI.

Using interviews, researchers looked at how OT's viewed their clients and how they managed their pain. Both positive and negative themes emerged including: losing valued roles, having depression and receiving compensation and to knowing: being fearful, looking for a cure or not knowing what to expect, being unable to set goals and being unable to use strategies. OT's reported that client's acceptance and desire to change played a large role in management.

In this article, Arbesman, Lieberman, and Metzler discuss the importance of best practice through evidence in clinical decision making. The authors define the framework of EBP as requiring integration of information from clinical experience and reasoning, preferences of clients and their families, and findings of best available research. Also discussed in this article are AOTA Practice Guidelines, Critically Appraised Topics, interventions for health through living independently, and interventions for chronic care management.

This is an AJOT article, published in 2014, that discusses how OT practitioners should use evidence/research in order to promote the value of the profession of occupational therapy. The article discusses evidence-based practice and how it is emerging to become the norm of all major healthcare professions, including OT.

This article highlights the fact that it is the responsibility of occupational therapy practitioners to provide treatment that has sound evidence to support its use within the clinical setting. With continuous health care reforms, there is a great push for occupational therapist to utilize evidence-based practice when working with patients. In fact, the utilization of evidence in practice produces definable outcomes measures that will soon affect payment for services. By providing evidence-based services, occupational therapists are providing interventions that are both effective and cost-effective and reimbursable.
