    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

    I am using this study as an example of clinical reasoning in the field. The systematic review of k tape effectiveness for musculoskeletal injuries found 6 studies that met inclusion, exclusion, and quality criteria. Only 3 of the 6 studies found K tape to have significant positive outcomes, 2 studies concluded that K tape had positive short-term benefits for shoulder injuries and 1 study found to have positive short-term benefits for whiplash injuries. The review concluded that there is insufficient evidence for or against K tape effectiveness on musculoskeletal injuries, however, the patient may perceive a benefit from its use. After reading this article a therapist has to use there best clinical reasoning when treating there patients with K tape . A therapist has to consider that K-taping may provide a perceived pain reduction to the patient and should be used in conjunction with other modalities and therapy approaches. However K- tape is not meant to be a stand-alone treatment. Patients experience and clinical observation by skilled therapists should be taken into account for K-tape use.

    This article is one of the articles I used in a K tape in service for this rotation. I used this article as an example of evidenced based practice for my project. This systematic review focused on the efficacy of taping for pain reduction associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The review found 10 articles that met inclusion, exclusion, and quality standards. The review found that k-taping significantly increased pain-free range of motion in shoulder flexion and abduction, however, there is still insufficient evidence to conclusively state that k tape alone or in conjunction with other methods is effective for pain reduction in rotator cuff tendinopathy.

    This resource provides information on how to submit an ethics complaint to AOTA if you believe that someone has violated the OT code of ethics. The complainant must submit supporting document that details the alleged violation including the relationship to violator, when the violation occurred, and what attempts to address the violation were taken. The ethics commission meets once a month to discuss and review ethics complaints. Once reviewed, a final decision can take several months up to a year to be made. During this time, the accused violator can request an appeal to the complaint.

    In this systematic review, the authors set out to analyze research on the effectiveness of feeding interventions relevant to or using OT in children from birth to 5 years of age. 34 studies were review, yielding 3 broad categories of intervention themes regarding feeding approaches. Intervention approaches were considered behavioral (based on operant learning principles), parent-directed/educational (caregiver info and recommendations), or physiological (children's biological development, including physical and sensory functions to support infant feeding). The results of the review suggest that various feeding approaches may result in positive outcomes. The authors suggest these results should not be generalized to all children with feeding concerns, reporting that additional research is necessary to examine populations with feeding difficulties.

    Evidence Connection articles provide a clinical application of systematic reviews developed in conjunction with the American Occupational Therapy Association's (AOTA's) Evidence-Based Practice project. The clinical condition discussed in this inaugural Evidence Connection article is adults with stroke. Findings from the systematic reviews on this topic were published in the January/February 2015 issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy and in AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Adults With Stroke (Wolf & Nilsen, 2015). Each article in this series will summarize the evidence from the published reviews on a given topic and presents an application of the evidence to a related clinical case. Evidence Connection articles illustrate how the research evidence from the reviews can be used to inform and guide clinical decision making.

    This article discusses the impact of an educational intervention in DVD format focused on strengthening the mental health practices of occupational therapists working with older adults in long-term care settings. Thirty occupational therapists were selected to participate in the pretest-posttest design. The therapists completed a knowledge and attitude questionnaire, as well as completed chart reviews of therapists' caseloads three months prior to watching the videos. After watching the DVD and three months had past, the therapists participating in the study completed the same knowledge and attitude questionnaire and chart reviews once more. The results showed a 20%-30% increase in correct answers on the questionnaire. The chart reviews also showed that therapists spent increased time addressing patients' mood, depression and cognitive impairments, as well as conduct more screenings for depression and cognitive impairments. The conclusion stated that educational interventions with therapists could significantly increase the quality of mental health practices in occupational therapy.
