Systematic Review of the Effects of Exercise on Activities of Daily Living in People Wi... - 0 views

  •  
    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

Exercise interventions for cancer patients: systematic review of controlled trials - 0 views

  •  
    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.

THE EFFICACY OF TAPING FOR ROTATOR CUFF TENDINOPATHY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Effectiveness of Interventions to Prevent Falls in People With Alzheimer's Disease and ... - 1 views

  •  
    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.

  •  
    The findings from this systematic review provide evidence for the attributes required by occupational therapists in work-related practice, but not specifically for entry-level practitioners. Well supported attributes included work injury prevention, management, including treatment and rehabilitation, communication, and professional presence. I think research into the preparation of occupational therapists for entry-level work-related practice in these attributes would add to our understanding of readiness for practice in this field.

    This systematic review examined studies that focused on the driving ability, performance, and safety of older adults. With more elderly individuals living independently in the community, driving and other forms of community mobility have become a major concern of many health care professions, including occupational therapy.

    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.

    Performance Challenges for Children and Adolescents With Difficulty Processing and Integrating Sensory Information: A Systematic Review. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, May/June 2010, Vol. 64, 430-442. doi:10.5014/ajot.2010.09073 This article reviews current literature that focuses on children who have sensory processing and integration difficulties. This research focuses on how these sensory processing and integration difficulties affect the child's functional performance in their daily occupations. After the review of the literature, it is evident that children with these difficulties do experience deficits in their functional performance during daily occupations.
