Do we need to memorise things from our prework sheet and everything from the in class work sheet, or just the work sheet?

Hi, could we use things like The Care Act, KAWA, biomechanical frame of reference etc. as part of our reasoning for station 1?

Hi I just wanted to clarify something about Station 3, the anatomy section. When you point out a specific area or structure for us to explain, are we expected to just identify and point out each part, or do we need to thoroughly explain each one — including naming them, describing their features, and explaining their functions?

Hello, will a copy of what's required at each station be provided on the day along with the case study or do we need to memorise what each station asks from us?

OT1606 Enabling Occupation 1: Working with Older Adults

2025-11-13 12:21:08 UTC

Can you confirm we only have 7 mins per station?

Secondly, the video for the activity analysis, this remains the same for the exam?

If you get an answer wrong during the anatomy part, will you deduct points?

2025-11-13 20:12:33 UTC

Will you be given a different equipment on station one depending on the case that you get?

Hi just double checking station 2 is the case study? and what type of questions would be asked

2025-11-14 09:54:07 UTC

Hi, for station 1 and station 3 it mentions using OT theories.

Does this apply to the ageing theories like wear and tear theory and activity theory of ageing or the OT theories we learnt about in OT1603, like the KAWA model, ICF and PEO ?

Also, in station 1, it mentions biomechanical principles.

Does this apply to the planes and axis of the body movements, I am not to sure?

Hi for station3 the table we need to revise and fill in how many points do we have to know and say for each question on the table like do we have to list multiple of them or just one

2025-11-14 15:30:59 UTC

Is the last box in the table we fill out in station 3 want you to link to case study- it says this Describe one activity/occupation involving joint (link structure to function

I tried to book a viewing for the plastic anatomy parts, but I was told I couldn’t because the uni did not have a license to do so. Can you just clarify that this is the case please?

2025-11-16 10:30:45 UTC

2025-11-16 17:34:36 UTC

If we get stuck on what to say for point ( a mind blank) will you give any promos to lead us in the right direction ?

I know we link stations to our study. Do we link the activity analysis station to our case study also?

2025-11-17 14:52:50 UTC

We have 3mins to prepare and 7mins to speak right? Will we be told when preparing time is over and we should start speaking? Can we speak for 9mins if we just pretend for 1min?

For Station 3, the anatomy part we have to talk about will it be linked to the case study, or will it be random?

2025-11-17 17:01:46 UTC

Hi Olaya, can you check my task sequence revision notes for station 4, relating to the video that will be in the exam. I haven't included theory yet, just the task analysis and environmental factors. Laila x

2025-11-18 17:39:37 UTC

for station 2 how many referrals do we give the case study to pass the station can i just revise one in depth or does it have to be many thank you

2025-11-19 14:11:51 UTC

For Station 3, when you pick a joint for us to explain, how much detail is needed to pass? For example, the table asks for key muscles involved. If the hip joint gets picked , do I need to list all movements and their prime movers, or is it enough to give one example like hip flexion with the iliopsoas and rectus femoris?

2025-11-19 14:22:00 UTC

are we allowed to have a copy of the case study with us?

2025-11-20 11:28:55 UTC

Will the neck and trunk be on the exam?

2025-11-20 11:52:07 UTC

how many of the movements and prime movers do we have to list to pass is it all of them or just one?

2025-11-20 16:12:10 UTC

Hi, for station 2 how many minimum legislation/guidline/act do we need to link to the case study ?

Is it compulsory to speak for 7 mins straight or can we finish before as well for example if someone finishes in 4 mins will they still be required to speak for another 3 mins

2025-11-24 17:06:15 UTC

At what point do we need to confirm which case study we have picked? Or will we inform the examiner on the day?

2025-11-25 13:47:38 UTC

Will we prompted to speak after 3 mins preparing? Or do we just start speaking for 7 mins when we are ready?

Hi,

I am just a little confused with station 2,3 and 4. I have been learning the material but could you explain clearly about each station so I am clear on how to apply all my knowledge at each thank you

2025-11-26 00:17:52 UTC

Will we be able to look at the assessment guidelines sheet as we're answering in each station? So we can use the bullet points as a 'checklist' ?

2025-11-26 00:20:33 UTC

Can you please give an example of what would be considered a biomechanical priniciple? Can I talk about load, balance, posture, pressure, symmetry or is that inaccurate?

2025-11-26 10:11:54 UTC

I emailed you, I’m not sure if you saw. But my trousers uniform for the exam is wayyyy too small. They gave me totally the wrong size. Can I just wear black trousers to the exam? And I’ll try and get a bigger size for placements. But exam is next week and I don’t think I’ll get the right size by then. Please let me know, Alana

2025-11-26 16:16:59 UTC

I just wanted to clarify something, can we still pass the exam even if we fail a station?

Thanks

are these all the movements around the foot joint i keep seeing diff things dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, inversion, eversion, and medial and lateral rotation

2025-11-27 16:22:21 UTC

2025-11-27 22:53:17 UTC

After the 3 mins of preparation, will we be allowed to use the notes we make in those 3 mins to look at them and read them out or will that lower our grade?

2025-11-28 14:04:02 UTC

Can you please give one example on

how the recommended assistive

device be linked to OT theory,

and relevant legislation or

professional guidance?

2025-11-28 14:04:34 UTC

How should we discuss relevant

legislation / policy/professional

guidance?

To what extend shall

we discuss them? Simply quote

the name of the legislation /

professional guidance is

acceptable or not?

Can you give

one example on legislation/policy

and one example on professional

guidance please?

2025-11-28 14:04:55 UTC

How to describe the timing and

pattern of the activity?

2025-11-28 14:37:04 UTC

I am a bit curious about the exam set up. Are there multiple people speaking at different stations at the same time?

Do you mention all movements a joint is able to do and those prime movers to pass?

2025-11-28 21:31:03 UTC

Station 4

2515374 — 2025-11-29 13:25:28 UTC

After the examiner chose the clip, are we expected to start describing the sequence immediately or do we have time to rewatch the video before we start?

2025-11-30 00:17:05 UTC

Are we allowed to use acronyms for longer names of muscles like SCM for sternocleidomastoid? Or would you not reccomend it?

just to make sure we dont have to know the neck and trunk for this exam however we have to ensure we know it to be ots

2025-11-30 16:03:06 UTC

how will the heart and lungs come up or be mentioned im really confused how do we link it the joint and also do we have to

2025-11-30 16:03:41 UTC

Hi, can we repeat a legislation for station 1 and 2? And for biomechanical principles, would manual muscle testing, for example, be relevant?

2025-11-30 19:03:27 UTC

Hi, just to clarify do we have to mention all the prime movers? For example for the hip internal rotation, the anterior fibres of gluteus medius and minimus assist. Do we have to mention tensor fasciae latae as well?
