    This study aimed to determine the course of anxiety, depression, and perceptions of control, along with the influence of perception of control in patients undergoing CABG before surgery and after surgery, along with two weeks post discharge. The study included 231 participants having CABG surgery were conveniently recruited from two hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Patients took a series of questionnaires before surgery, after surgery, and two weeks post discharge. The questionnaires asked questions on anxiety and depression and were measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Control Attitudes Scale. Limitations of the study included the use of a convenient sample and loss of participants for the second and third interview. The results showed perceptions of control were moderate before surgery and improved once the surgery was completed, and again in early recovery in the second week after patients had gone home. Perceptions of control are important because they had a positive influence on concurrent anxiety and depression at all times.

    This study used a pretest-postost control group design to determine whether or not the Get Ready to Learn (GRTL) classroom yoga program decreased challenging behaviors in children with ASD. The intervention group participated in the GRTL yoga program for 16 weeks while the control group went through their morning routine as usual. Challenging behaviors were assessed in both groups by using standardized measures and behavior coding before and after the intervention. The study found that daily classroom wide yoga interventions has a significant impact on key classroom behaviors among children with ASD.

    Janszky, J., Blom, S., Georgiades, A., Laszlo, K., Alinaghizadeh, H., Ahnve, S. (2007) study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 1-year stress management program, aimed at reducing symptoms of depression and vital exhaustion (VE) in women in coronary heart disease (CHD). The study included 247 women who were conveniently recruited after a cardiac event of AMI, PCI, CABG at Karolinska University Hospital at Huddinge or at St. Gorans Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. The experimental group which included stress management (20 2-hour sessions) and medical care by a cardiologist or the control group that consisted of usual care health post heart surgeries with no stress management session. The study had many limitations, first were women who did not want to participate in the 1 year intervention were not compared to those who did. The study also did not enroll subjects who may have been considered healthier. The subjects in the treatment group were in the care of a cardiologist and the self-rated vital exhaustion and depressive symptom measures may have been biased. The results of the study included that vital exhaustion for both groups improved over time and the decreased amount of VE was more pronounced in the intervention group. The change in depressive symptoms between the two groups did not differ.

    In my rotation, we have treated a few stroke patients after BTX-A injections using splinting and a few other treatment methods. This article discovers the comparison of adhesive taping vs. daily manual muscle stretching and splinting after injections. A single-blind randomized control trail with 70 patients was conducted with patients experiencing wrist and finger flexor muscle spasticity post-stroke. After receiving the injections, patients were randomly divided into two groups. Group A consisted of adhesive taping. Adhesive taping is first placed on forearm and fingers and left for 10 days with daily checks. The tape provides traction on hypertonic muscles. Group B consisted of patient's receiving manual muscle stretching of injected muscles for 30 min and passive articular mobilization of wrist and fingers to maintain muscle length. Custom palmar splints with made for each patient and positioned for maximum stretching. Outcome measures used to to measure spasticity consisted of the Modified Ashworth scale, related disability with Disability Assessment Scale and finger positions at rest. At the end of the trial, it was discovered that patient in Group A, adhesive taping, had a significantly decrease in spasticity scores. Some limitations included lack of placebo group and longer follow-up data.

    This study aims to discover the impacts of an occupational therapy driving intervention with returning combat veterans. A single-subject design with three phases was used and conducted by a certified driving rehabilitation specialist. The three phases included a baseline pre-test, intervention with three 1-hr training sessions, and a post-test. Participants were recruited from several VA clinical in northern Florida. Inclusion criteria for participants included service in OEF or OIF, presence of a mTBI or orthopedic injury with PTSD, participation in driving prior to medical condition, valid driver's license residence in community, score of a least 24/30 on Mini-Mental State Examination. Outcome measures included the OT-CDRS and Optec 2500 for visual abilities, Useful Field of View for visual attention and processing speed, MMSE for general cognitive abilities, Trail-Making Test Part B for shifting, foot tap test for peddle control in car and right lower extremity ROM. One subject was selected and showed improvements in outcome measures. The subject showed improvements in visual search skills post-intervention. Patient also showed improvements in his appropriateness of searching skills post-intervention. Patient was also shown to improve on his on-road communication skills and recognition of need to inform other road users of intended actions. Although there were improvements in the veterans driving abilities, the threats to internal validity pose limitations to the study. The investigators intend to use data and address limitations in the hopes of conducting a random-controlled trial with more participants.

    This articles stands behind my feelings that group occupational therapy as effective. The article how as parkinson's disorder progresses many patients begin to lose their ability to complete their daily activities and must begin to depend on their spouse or caregivers. The article completed a trial which had an experimental and control group which were evaluated pre-treatment and post-treatment again at 6 months and 1 year after group occupational therapy. What they found was that the experimental group maintained their functional status and psychosocial well-being 1 year post therapy compared to the control group. Participants in the experimental group even showed signs of decreased bradykinesia. Overall, this article supports the use of group occupational therapy for patients living with Parkinson's. The 5 week sessions focused on general mobilization activities, a rest break with socialization, and then dexterity focus. I really enjoy how they incorporate a socialization piece because I have noticed at my facility how many patient begin to slow down their processing when communicating and this would give them the time to talk with others who also need the appropriate time to process what they want to say!

    This articles discusses the effectiveness of occupational therapy for stroke patients following discharge from a stroke unit. There was an experimental group and control group who received no follow up appointments following discharge. Both group were compared one year post-stroke. The article discusses that there were few significant findings, in terms of activities of daily living, IADLs, mood, and percieved quality of life. However, the number of adaptive equipment requested was greater and re-admissions to the hospital was smaller following the one year. This articles points out that stroke patients need occupational therapy services in order to help make sure they have all the resources they need when returning to home post stroke and living a healthy lifestyle following.

    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.
