Occupational therapy interventions to improve the reading ability of older adults with low vision / Stacy Smallfield in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 67/3 (mai-juin 2013)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 67/3 (mai-juin 2013) . - p. 288-295 Titre : Occupational therapy interventions to improve the reading ability of older adults with low vision : a systematic review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Stacy Smallfield ; Kari CLEM ; Ashley MYERS Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p. 288-295 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Médecine fondée sur les preuves  Ergothérapie  Lecture  Trouble vision  Personne âgée Résumé : This systematic review of the literature examined available evidence regarding the effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions for improving the reading performance of older adults with low vision. We reviewed 32 studies and found strong evidence supporting low vision programs that included occupational therapy and moderately strong evidence supporting the use of electronic magnification. Moderate evidence supported the influence of illumination on reading ability. Limited evidence was found to support eccentric viewing training and optical magnification. More evidence of higher quality is needed to validate the effectiveness of optical magnifiers, text eccentric viewing, characteristic preferences, and line guides within optical magnification. Additionally, further research is needed to develop a standard low vision rehabilitation program. The results of this review support the need for occupational therapy to be included in low vision rehabilitation. The implications of the findings for occupational therapy practice, research, and education are discussed.

Training older adults with low vision to use a computer tablet: A feasibility study / Jennifer Kaldenberg in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 2 (Février 2017) . - p. 117-122 Titre : Training older adults with low vision to use a computer tablet: A feasibility study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer Kaldenberg ; Stacy Smallfield Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 117-122 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : basse vision  personne âgée  dispositifs d'assistance au mouvement  ordinateur  tablette Résumé : Introduction The purpose of this feasibility study was to investigate the potential use of a computer tablet as a low vision device to facilitate performance of and satisfaction with daily activities for older adults with low vision. Method A repeated measures design was used to measure outcomes. Four older adult women with low vision completed 10 weekly sessions of group training in tablet use. The feasibility of this research method and intervention was examined by evaluating recruitment capability, data collection procedures, outcome measures, intervention procedures, resources, and preliminary responses to intervention. Results The four participants were all women, with a mean age of 74.25 years (68–81). Visual acuity ranged from 20/160 to 20/4000. Mean change in performance and satisfaction on the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure were 3.45 and 3.65, respectively. Daily tablet use increased from 15 minutes at pretest to 3 hours at posttest to 4.5 hours at follow-up. Conclusion Group training in computer tablet use for older adults with low vision shows promise to improve performance and satisfaction in a variety of daily activities. With appropriate resources, the research method is feasible for a larger study examining this community-based intervention for older adults with low vision.
