Effect of Pencil Grasp on the Speed and Legibility of Handwriting in Children - 0 views

Over the past 12 weeks, I have thought about pencil grasp probably more than I have ever cared to, as I am sure many school-based therapists would agree! https://ajot.aota.org/article.aspx?articl...

    Promoting functional hand activities is a crucial rehabilitation goal for persons with tetraplegic spinal cord injury (SCI) [1-4]. Some people with mid- to low-level cervical (C) SCI achieve useful tenodesis grasp, which is opposition of the thumb and the index and middle fingers through reciprocal wrist extension and finger flexion, with the aid of a wrist-driven flexor hinge orthosis (WDFHO) [5-6].

    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.

    Examines the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation therapy in restoring grasping functions that may have been lost of weakened as a result of an SCI. We frequently use this method with our veterans and have had great results.

    I found this article very helpful in understanding the usefulness in botox when working with patients, especially stroke patients, who have extreme spasticity in their upper limbs. This articles discusses the reliability and effectiveness in the use of botulinum toxin A when used in managing spasticity post stroke. The studies provided in this article support chemodenervation with botox A which helps with treating focal muscle over activity and spasticity post stroke. Botox A was most effective in the elbow flexors, ankle planter flexors, and intrinsics of the hand and wrist. It was noted that repeated injections of botox A resulted in longer waits between each injection without change in next dose. I found this useful when working at my site these past 12 weeks because I had a patient who had spasticity in L UE and recently received botox in L UE. The patient now how some grasp/release control and is able to initiate biceps in order to flex at the elbow.

    This article really hit home with me because many of my vet's have a diagnosis of PTSD. Since many of the older individuals we will work with are vietnam or even WWII vets, its important for OT's to have a good grasp on what PTSD looks like

    This study was conducted in order to grasp a better understanding of occupational therapy students' level of clinical reasoning skills at varying stages of learning during the course of their schooling. Based on study results, all of the students in their first year, 70% of students in their second year, and 20% of students in their third year demonstrated pre-reflective thinking. Furthermore, no first or second year students and only 20% of third year students were able to function at a level of reflective thinking. This study provides great insight for clinical instructors, allowing instructors to be more attuned to their students learning needs and better equipping them to develop clinical reasoning skills necessary in order to provide patient-centered care. Clinical instructors who are working with individuals in the pre-reflective thinking stage should encourage their students to voice their own opinions and justify their rationale, as well as consider others opinions, and should be given feedback in order to improve their confidence and encourage further development of clinical reasoning skills.
