    This is a systematic review that looks at the evidence for the effects of exercise on ADL functioning of people with AD. This review also looked at the effects of exercise on cognition and mood and on physical performance. The initial search for articles for the systematic review began with over 2000 articles, and the reviewers narrowed it down to 6 articles. Overall, they found that exercise can, in fact improve ADL function in people with AD. Exercise can also improve physical performance, and may slow the decline in cognition and boost mood in those with AD.

    This article used 6 other articles to review effects of exercise on ADL performance of those with Alzheimer's Disease. Occupational therapy intervention that includes aerobic and strengthening exercises may help improve independence in ADLs and improve physical performance in people with Alzheimer's. More research needs to done to identify specific components of intervention and optimal dosage to develop clinical guidelines. At my SNF placement, I have worked with many residents with Alzheimer's. We do use strength training with most patients is they are able to do it, and we also work to increase endurance as well. It is good to see evidence to back up treatment

    EBP: This article uses a systematic review to study the effect of exercise interventions in cancer patients. They found that there is evidence supporting exercise as an effective intervention for reducing cancer-related fatigue (across various types of cancer). Overall, studies showed moderate increases in physical function, reduction in fatigue, decreased skinfold measurements, increased natural killer cell activity, reduced sleep problems, increases in global QoL, adherence and tolerability to exercise interventions.

    This article outlines a number of upper extremity exercises that can be beneficial for a wide range of patients recovering from stroke. The article breaks the patients into 3 groups called Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. This will provide useful exercises to have in an occupational therapy tool bag for patients of all levels after recovering from stroke.

    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 article, published by AJOT in July 2006, is titled Occupational Therapy Activities and Intervention Techniques for Clients With Stroke in Six Rehabilitation Hospitals. As the title suggests, this article discusses various occupational therapy intervention strategies, as well as their effectiveness, for the treatment of patients with CVAs. Control of upper extremity exercises as well as activities of daily living practice were the most common form of occupational therapy intervention techniques utilized.

    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 article examines the effect of a prefabricated soft thumb-base orthosis on pain, hand strength, and activity performance in persons with osteoarthritis of the CMC joint. At my facility, I see quite a bit of CMC arthritis and wanted to explore the use of an orthotic since most of my pt.'s say it helps with pain and protection of their thumb. Much to my surprise, this study found that the soft prefabricated orthosis seems to have an immediate pain-relieving effect during use, but no effects in terms of less hand pain, or improved strength or activity performance when not worn. There were no significant difference found between the experimental (orthosis+exercises) and control (exercises only) groups.

    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.

    This is a systematic review of the effectiveness of interventions to prevent falls in people with the psychosocial disorders of Alzheimer's and dementia. I picked this article because my fieldwork is currently in a skilled nursing facility and I read about the many falls that happen that lead to the patients coming to the facility. The article focuses on three types of interventions including exercise, nursing staff interventions, and multidisciplinary interventions. the article mentioned that although all three intervention showed some data of effectiveness the studies used had many limitations. In addition, occupational therapy was seldom mentioned in the studies, the article mentions the big opportunity there is for occupational therapist to address this issue.
