Occupational Therapy Activities and Intervention Techniques for Clients With Stroke in ... - 0 views

  •  
    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.

How Do We Change Practice When We Have the Evidence? | American Journal of Occupational... - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses evidence based practice and how even with evidence it can be difficulty to incorporate new changes into practice. There are several steps that need to be taken in order to properly incorporate new evidence into practice, such as determining relevance to setting, creating new guidelines, and adopting these new guidelines into practice. Due to several barriers, these changes typically do not take place immediately. Some barriers to adopting new research findings into practice include: profession, legislative, administrative, practitioner, patient/patient family, and value/belief barriers.

Clinical Reasoning Case Studies as Teaching Tools - 0 views

  •  
    This article is from the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. I felt that it went along with our discussion about becoming fieldwork educators in the future. This study researches the effectiveness of case studies that influence clinical reasoning vs, typical educational case studies. This study goes into depth about clinical reasoning and how it influences educational experiences of students. The research participants, OT students, were asked to complete intervention plans based on client needs and in response to both the medical model of clinical reasoning and paper case study educational methods of learning. Information was qualitatively reviewed to analyze the intervention plans and videotaped discussions were used to guide clinical reasoning process/learning experience. The results showed that clinical reasoning case studies, compared to traditional case studies, promoted three main themes including increased quality of intervention plans, participant confidence levels in treatment plans, and enhanced understanding of the clinical reasoning process. This study is important for FEs and educators to increase clinical reasoning process of students as well as interventions for clients.

Wheelchair Transfer Simulations to Enhance Procedural Skills and Clinical Reasoning - 0 views

  •  
    This was a study that looked at more effective ways to train students in wheelchair transfers with more dependent patients. Typically, the curriculum allows for transfer practice using other peers. This study occurred in a high-technology laboratory with SimMan technology and mock hospital suite. The SimMan replicates what a dependent transfer patient would be like. The mock hospital suite simulated an acute care setting, complete with medical equipment, vital signs, lines and drains in place. Scenarios were developed for the students with the assistance of practicing occupational therapists. These scenarios included an acutely ill patient, a critical medical management event that occurred during bed-to-wheelchair transfer and occupational need. Students completed 66-88% of transfer items correctly and showed that simulated scenarios were more difficult that practitioners rated them. Student rated this simulation as an effective, more realistic teaching tool. Students attributed this kind of simulation as a positive contribution to curriculum and promoted greater procedural and clinical reasoning skills.

Effect of high-voltage pulsed current plus conventional treatment on acute ankle sprain... - 0 views

  •  
    Although this article is written in regards to HVPCs effect on ankle sprain, I used HVPC, concurrently with pulsed ultrasound in quite a few of my patients (carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, s/p elbow surgery, Dequervains, extensor tenosynovitis, etc). It proved to be very useful for cell/tissue healing and pain reduction in many of my patients. This modality involves the typical electrode placement of 4 pads crossing the affected area with a dispersive pad on the back or thigh, and we would use it in combination with therapeutic ultrasound. We also had two combo units we used, which did not require the use of electrode pads, rather the electric current came from the same sound head that the ultrasound was coming from, and we still used the dispersive pad on the back or thigh

Treatment of reflex sympathetic dystrophy using the stress-loading program - 0 views

  •  
    This article talks about a stress-loading, also known as the "Scrub & Carry Program," beneficial for patients with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome/Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. This program entails stressing the body part, typically a hand in hopes of the nervous system regulating the pain signals it is sending to the brain. Patients using this program will "scrub" using a brush or the Dystrophile and scrubbing foreward/backward & side-to-side, initially starting for 3 minutes at a time and gradually increasing. Then patients are to carry a weighted object, to their tolerance, in the affected hand for as much of the day as possible. We used this with a patient who had a traumatic work place amputation to his ring finger, and deep laceration (down to the bone) to his middle finger and was starting to show signs of RSD. Though he has poor compliance with this program at home, we did see some benefit from it in the clinic.
