Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy Interventions for Adults With Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review. / Janet L. Poole in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 71/1 (2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 71/1 (2017) Titre : Effectiveness of Occupational Therapy Interventions for Adults With Fibromyalgia: A Systematic Review. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Janet L. Poole, Auteur ; Patricia Siegel, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Langues : Américain (ame) Mots-clés : Fibromyalgie, ergothérapie  Résultat thérapeutique Résumé : OBJECTIVE. This systematic review addresses the effectiveness of occupational therapy-related interventions for adults with fibromyalgia. METHOD. We examined the literature published between January 2000 and June 2014. A total of 322 abstracts from five databases were reviewed. Forty-two Level I studies met the inclusion criteria. Studies were evaluated primarily with regard to the following outcomes: daily activities, pain, depressive symptoms, fatigue, and sleep. RESULTS. Strong evidence was found for interventions categorized for this review as cognitive-behavioral interventions; relaxation and stress management; emotional disclosure; physical activity; and multidisci-plinary interventions for improving daily living, pain, depressive symptoms, and fatigue. There was limited to no evidence for self-management, and few interventions resulted in better sleep. CONCLUSION. Although the evidence supports interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice for people with fibromyalgia, few interventions were occupation based.

The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the current evidence for interventions within the occupational therapy scope of practice that address pain reduction and increase participation in functional activities. Seventy-six studies were reviewed for this study--67 of Level I evidence, 7 of Level II evidence, and 2 of Level III evidence. Strong evidence was found that ROM, strengthening exercises, and joint mobilizations can improve function and decrease pain. The evidence to support physical modalities is moderate to mixed, depending on the shoulder disorder. Occupational therapy practitioners can use this evidence to guide daily clinical decision making.

Evaluation of Hand Forces During a Joint-Protection Strategy for Women With Hand Osteoarthritis. / Corey McGee in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 71/1 (2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 71/1 (2017) . - pp.1-8 Titre : Evaluation of Hand Forces During a Joint-Protection Strategy for Women With Hand Osteoarthritis. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Corey McGee, Auteur ; Virgil MATHIOWetz, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp.1-8 Langues : Américain (ame) Mots-clés : Arthrose  main  Analyse et exécution des tâches Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We evaluated whether a joint-protection strategy changes the mechanics of opening a sealed jar. METHOD. Thirty-one adult women with hand osteoarthritis attempted to open a "sealed" jar instrument when using and not using nonskid material. Grip force, torque, success, and pain were recorded for each trial. RESULTS. Participants used less grip force when twisting with their left hand. The greatest torque and success, yet the least amount of grip force across time, and pain was noted when the left hand turned the lid, the jar was held vertically, the right hand supported the base, and nonskid material was used. CONCLUSION. Women with hand osteoarthritis should be educated to consider the hand they use and their approach when opening sealed jars. Use of nonskid material without additional reasoning may increase load on arthritic joints, pain, and dysfunction. Additional research on task kinematics and the kinetics of the stabilizing hand is needed.

In this retrospective cohort study, the authors used logistic regression to identify client and program factors predicting success for 95 clients in a general occupational rehabilitation program and 71 clients in a comprehensive occupational rehabilitation program. The final predictive model for general rehabilitation included gender, number of sessions completed, and performance of work simulation activities. Maximum hours per session was the only significant predictor of success in the comprehensive rehabilitation program. This study identifies new factors associated with success in occupational rehabilitation, specifically highlighting the importance of intensity (i.e., session length and number of sessions) of therapy and occupation-based activities for this population.

Justice and U.S. Occupational Therapy Practice: A Relationship 100 Years in the Making. / Rebecca M. ALDRICH in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 71/1 (2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 71/1 (2017) . - pp.1-5 Titre : Justice and U.S. Occupational Therapy Practice: A Relationship 100 Years in the Making. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Rebecca M. ALDRICH, Auteur ; Tessa L. Boston, Auteur ; Claire E. Daaleman, Auteur Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp.1-5 Langues : Américain (ame) Mots-clés : pratique professionnelle  ergothérapie  Etats-Unis  Justice sociale Résumé : At 99 years old, occupational therapy is a global health care profession with a growing orientation toward justice. Because much of the occupational justice discourse has developed outside the United States, parallels between the profession's ethos and its current focus on justice must be examined more closely in this country. Although occupational therapy practitioners in the United States are better equipped than their predecessors with language and theories that explicitly emphasize justice, the potential for bringing that focus to bear depends on practitioners' willingness to think differently about their practices. We argue that a focus on justice can be naturally integrated with curriculum standards by emphasizing the link between cultural humility, client-centeredness, and embodied habits of "seeking out unknown others." Outside formal education, practitioners can be encouraged to think of justice as something that already intersects with practice, not something that practitioners must choose whether to take up.

Type de document : texte imprimé Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : pp.1-9 Langues : Américain (ame) Mots-clés : Force de préhension manuelle  Arthrose  Contention physique  orthèses Résumé : OBJECTIVES. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) require greater muscle loads to equal the grip strength of healthy adults and to find the optimal grip distance for people with RA using carpometacarpal and metacarpophalangeal immobilization orthoses as measured by electromyography of the forearm muscles. METHOD. A 2 x 2 (Group x Orthosis) experiment and a 2 x 3 (Orthosis x Grasp Distance) factorial were conducted. Grip strength and muscle load were measured. RESULTS. Grip strength was significantly lower, and muscle load was greater, in 18 participants with RA than in 18 healthy adults. No effect of orthosis use on grip strength and muscle load was found. Muscle load was lower for the 42.25-mm diameter dynamometer handle than for handles with larger diameters. CONCLUSION. People with RA require more muscle load than healthy adults to produce the same exertion, and 42.25 mm is recommended for people with RA as the optimal grasp distance.

We sought to understand the wide range of problems that patients with upper-extremity peripheral nerve disorders experience and to identify predictors of disability and quality of life (QOL). METHOD. Data from standardized assessments of disability and QOL, physical examination results, and intake surveys from 627 patients were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. We compared results between groups and built multivariate models measuring disability, work disability, and physical and mental QOL. RESULTS. The sample demonstrated substantial disability and even greater work disability, which both closely correlated with poorer QOL. Work status was integral in predicting disability. Common predictors across models included problems with sleep and intimate relationships, deficits in work and household performance, and higher pain. CONCLUSION. To decrease disability and improve QOL, occupational therapy practitioners should help patients with upper-extremity peripheral nerve disorders identify strategies to maintain meaningful work and household roles, intimate relationships, and sleep, while continuing to address pain.

Fifteen participants who were either recycling workers or supervisors located throughout seven locations on an urban university campus participated. A mixed-methods research design was used to obtain data through a variety of standardized work environment and health questionnaires and semistructured interviews. Approximately 80% of participants expressed satisfaction with their jobs; 50% reported having a musculoskeletal injury; and 33% reported a lack of support from coworkers or supervisors, which created stress and anxiety. Additional risk factors included poor body mechanics, equipment issues, poor social interactions, and lack of supervisor knowledge for prevention. Occupational therapy practitioners are well situated to support preventive interventions that address the combined physical and psychosocial needs of recycling workers.
