The results included a lower report on a pain scale after using the VR device for a total of 20 minutes during an occupational therapy session. VR offers a great option for pain distraction and management that is engaging for pediatric populations. ]]> 2021-03-15 02:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1308668890 ben_deleon1 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1312460151 2021-03-15 19:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1312460151 riley_smetzler1 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1317745210 2021-03-16 20:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1317745210 riley_smetzler1 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1317757317 Evaluate the feasibility of the Wii Fit for improving walking in older adults with lower limb amputation]]> 2021-03-16 20:15:09 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1317757317 Occupational Therapy Practice Patterns for Military Service Members With Upper Limb Amputation lauren_torres11 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1320933699 2021-03-17 14:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1320933699 Occupational Therapy for Adults With Cancer: Why It Matters kaitlyn_holley1 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1321252734 https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.ezproxy.baylor.edu/pmc/articles/PMC4786355/pdf/theoncologist_15335.pdf

Most client goals for this population with cancer were related to walking, leisure activities, and exercise. Encouraging goal adjustment to realistic goals can be a way that this population copes with their condition and this can help maintain their mental health. This study ultimately highlights the importance of collaborative decision making that should take place between the client and the practitioner and how interventions should be centered around what the client seeks to do, because they will likely be more motivated this way.]]> 2021-03-22 01:14:47 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1335717673 Pressure Garment Adherence in Adult Patients with Burn Injuries lydia_rodriguez2 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1335737080 This study conducted in South Africa sought to determine and analyze what factors affect pressure garment adherence from both the perspective of adult clients that have experienced burn injuries and occupational therapists. Based on its findings, it is important that as OTs that we empathize with our patients and provide interventions that enhance treatment as well as the client's satisfaction with the treatment itself. ]]> 2021-03-22 01:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1335737080 CVA and Balance Control PollySweitzer https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393198977 This level II study aims to determine the factors that influence postural impairment in order to better tailor rehabilitation, post stroke, to decrease the prevalence of falls. The findings suggest that perception deficits in somatosensory and visual information strongly contribute to balance and postural difficulties and illustrate a need for quick and specific training for sensory integration post stroke.]]> 2021-04-07 20:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393198977 CVA and early Rehab PollySweitzer https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393200625 2021-04-07 20:00:50 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393200625 Gait training and SCI PollySweitzer https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393206420 This two group design (level II- n=1376) is to investigate the relation of gait training during inpatient rehabilitation to ambulatory outcomes for SCI patients. This multi-center collaboration concluded that a large percentage of SCI clients, who are not likely to walk, are dedicating much of their time to gait training as opposed to functional interventions like transfers and wheeled mobility training. 582 participants were wheeling at discharge while 266 of them received gait training. Of the 266, slightly more than half (136) were primarily wheeling at the one year post study mark. ]]> 2021-04-07 20:02:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393206420 OT Intervention for Adults with TBI ben_deleon1 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393223217 2021-04-07 20:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393223217 Occupational therapy and Colles’ fractures kaitlyn_holley1 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393223482 2021-04-07 20:08:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393223482 How OTs Can Contribute to Health Equity Among People With HIV and AIDS: Results From a Needs Assessment ltgchee https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1393235452 Occupational therapists (OTs) address a wide variety of populations in their scope of practice.

A key question of the study is- does OT reduce the need for surgery in carpometacarpal osteoarthritis? Hand exercises, assistant devices, and thumb orthoses to prevent/correct subluxation and deformity will be implemented by the OT in one group, and surgery will be performed in the other. This longitudinal study is ongoing and hopes to change the current course of surgery as the main treatment for this condition.]]> 2021-04-08 11:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1395353459 Activity and Participation Levels During and After Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in People With Cardiac Conditions maggie_webb2 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1416548225 2021-04-14 14:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1416548225 Congestive Heart Failure and symptoms of depression and executive function from lack of participation maggie_webb2 https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1416586756 OT can play a role in facilitating activity participation and occupational engagement to reduce the symptoms of depression and executive function after a CHF diagnosis.]]> 2021-04-14 14:14:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1416586756 Obesity & COPD PollySweitzer https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1427150571 There are no published studies that prove that obesity causes COPD but the link has been suggested. This level I systematic review aims to uncover a potential relationship by utilizing the existing data on obesity and respiratory functions and cardiac disease. It is shown that the risk of developing obesity increases in patients with COPD, but does it work the other way around as well? This link was proven in Northern California and the USA has one of the highest rates of obesity (>35%) in the world. ]]> 2021-04-16 20:34:03 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1427150571 Cardiovascular Disease and Added Sugar. PollySweitzer https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1427155821 This is a level IV, non-randomized, and double blinded intervention study. The single subject design (n=23) is a dose response application. 
Evidence exists that suggests that the consumption of beverages with added sugars (sucrose and high fructose corn syrup) is associated with dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. This study showed that consuming drinks with 10%, 17.5%, and 25% added sugar (high fructose corn syrup) produced increases in circulating lipid/lipoprotein risk factors for cardiovascular disease within 2 weeks. The results support the hypothesis that the risk of cardiovascular mortality is positively associated with consumption of increasing amounts of added sugars. ]]> 2021-04-16 20:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hannah_kovach1/b8sqpt4wk96rhnkt/wish/1427155821
