Occupational Therapy stroke

This article reviews the literature on treating people who have had a stroke. An extensive search in MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, AMED, and SCISEARCH was performed. This review identified small but significant effect sizes for the efficacy of comprehensive OT on primary ADL, extended ADL, and social participation. However, more research will need to be completed on this topic. This article is a nice overview to see what is being used on patients who have encountered a stroke and how successful it has been.

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 articles reviews the literature on interventions used for treating people who have had a stroke. The most typical approach for treating strokes is using NDT (nuerodevelopmental therapy). This approach includes electrical stimulation, EMG biofeedback, and motor learning approaches. This article discusses other therapy approaches that aren't so common, but do have literature on them. I am currently a neuro site and this article is very helpful.

This article briefly explains several evidence-based interventions for stroke, including more traditional types of interventions, newer treatment techniques, and complementary treatments. The article points out, however that the evidence is not pointing to one particular treatment that is superior to the others, and therefore, more rigorous research is needed.

This article discusses the current treatment approaches that are commonly used by occupational therapists to treat individuals with CVA. It provides an overview of the best available evidence for stroke intervention. This article also discusses some of the new treatment approaches that are being examined to help individuals with a CVA regain functional performance.

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.

Botulinum toxin for the management of muscle overactivity and spasticity after stroke. - 0 views

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 discusses the various research opportunities available in area of adult stroke victims. Through the last 12 weeks, I have encountered a significant number of patients with CVA at the nursing home. I found the article extremely relevant to current occupational therapy practices due to the nature of treatments regarding CVA's. I think that it is critical for more research to be done, to help OT's better understand the nature of strokes and the best practices to treat them. AOTA developed a table to help researchers, students, and clinicians that summarizes various research opportunities on stroke patients. I believe this can be a helpful tool for OT's looking for innovative ideas and research to help apply to field work.
