Combined bracing, electrical stimulation, and functional practice for chronic, upper-extremity spasticity / Kathleen HARDY in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010) . - p. 720-726 Titre : Combined bracing, electrical stimulation, and functional practice for chronic, upper-extremity spasticity Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kathleen HARDY ; Kacia SUEVER ; Amie SPRAGUE Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 720-726 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Stimulation électrique fonctionnelle  Spasticité Résumé : Objectives Conventional methods for managing upper-extremity (UE) spasticity are invasive, usually require readministration after a certain time period, and do not necessarily increase UE function. This study examined efficacy of combining two singularly efficacious modalities--UE bracing and electrical stimulation-- with functional training to reduce UE spasticity and improve function. Method Two chronic stroke patients exhibiting UE spasticity were administered the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), the upper-extremity section of the Fugl-Meyer Impairment Scale (FM), the Box and Block Test (B&B), and the Arm Motor Ability Test (AMAT). They were then individually fitted for a brace and subsequently participated in treatment sessions occurring 2 days/wk for 5 wk, consisting of (1) 30-min clinical sessions, during which the UE was braced in a functional position while cyclic electrical stimulation was applied to the antagonist extensors of the tricep and forearm, and (2) 15-min, clinically based training sessions, occurring directly after the clinical session. Results After intervention, participants exhibited 1-point reductions in MAS scores for the affected fingers, FM score increases, and increased ability to perform AMAT activities. Three months later, both participants retained these changes. Conclusion Data point to a noninvasive, promising method of managing spasticity and rendering functional changes.

Comparing three postoperative treatment protocols for extensor tendon repair in zones V and VI of the hand / Barbara HALL in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010) . - p. 682-688 Titre : Comparing three postoperative treatment protocols for extensor tendon repair in zones V and VI of the hand Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Barbara HALL ; Hoe LEE ; Rohan PAGE Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 682-688 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Tendon  Doigt  Contention  Articulation  Pathologie Résumé : Objectives This pilot study compared the effectiveness of 3 postoperative rehabilitation protocols for patients with Zones V and VI extensor tendon lacerations. Method Twenty-seven patients were recruited from 3 sites and randomly assigned to 1 of 3 established treatment protocols: immobilization, early passive motion (EPM), and early active motion (EAM). Outcome measures were collected at 3, 6, and 12 wk after treatment and included total active motion (TAM). Results At the end of Week 12, data on 24 injured digits of 18 patients were available for analysis. When data at Weeks 3, 6, and 12 were compared, patients in all groups showed steady improvement in TAM, but digits under the EAM treatment improved to a greater extent over time (F[2, 46] 5 75.6, p <.001). Conclusion Patients with Zones V and VI extensor tendon injuries treated with the EAM protocol recovered range of motion more rapidly.

Method Participants were 984 students, ages 3--13 yr, from North America, Australia and New Zealand, United Kingdom, and the Nordic countries, matched for age and diagnoses. We used FACETS many-faceted Rasch analyses to generate item difficulty calibrations by region and evaluate for significant differential item functioning (DIF) and differential test functioning (DTF). Results Four School AMPS items demonstrated DIF but resulted in no DTF. Conclusion This study provided support for occupational therapists using the School AMPS to evaluate students’ quality of schoolwork task performances across regions because the School AMPS measures are free of bias associated with world region.

Method We conducted a systematic review of intervention studies on TBI rehabilitation from 1990 to 2007. Results We analyzed and summarized 10 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Of 10 studies, 7 found that post--acute TBI rehabilitation benefits CI; all effective studies involved occupational therapy or involved interventions occupational therapists can do. Conclusion Many CI programs show positive results and should be studied more rigorously. Such promising programs should also be considered when decisions about post--acute TBI rehabilitation services for clients are being made. To further establish that post--acute TBI rehabilitation interventions improve CI, future studies should include intervention strategies based on injury severity, a control group, and longer term follow-up. The role of occupational therapy in these effective programs should be further explored.

Method We developed the hand skill framework, performed expert review, and pilot tested the ACHS. The ACHS’s reliability was examined by recruiting 54 children (30 typically developing children and 24 children with disabilities). Results The test--retest reliability for the ACHS was satisfactory at the individual item level (0.42 < or equal to k < or equal to 0.79) and the total scale level (Spearman’s r 5 0.78, p < .01). Moderate interrater agreement of the total scale scores was demonstrated (r 5 0.63, p < .01), but individual items exhibited varied interrater agreement. Conclusion The ACHS demonstrated adequate content validity and preliminary reliability evidence and could be used to quantify children’s hand skill use. Construct validity should be established in a clinical setting.

Method Using descriptive statistics, we examined demographic characteristics in the first analysis phase. In the second phase, we performed a series of correlational analyses to identify treatment variables associated with positive outcomes. Results Generally, patients improved in their FIM scores at discharge. Increasing occupational therapy intensity had a positive effect on functional performance in all categories except feeding, with significant correlations in upper-extremity dressing (r 5 .153, p < .05) and memory (r 5 .204, p < .01). Conclusion Occupational therapy was associated with positive functional outcomes for patients with MS. Future treatment protocols should include cognitive skills training, community reintegration, and self-care, because these treatments were found to be significantly correlated with positive changes in FIM scores.

Method Eighteen volunteers (with a total of 30 forearms) participated in this one-session methodological study to determine the intra- and interrater reliability and criterion validity of a forearm dynamometer. Results Intrarater reliability for both assessors for pronation was (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC]3,1 = .937--.961) and for supination was (ICC3,1 = .923--.968). Interrater reliability for pronation was ICC3,2 = .927 and for supination was ICC3,2 = .847. Criterion validity of the Baseline hydraulic dynamometer (Fabrication Enterprises Inc., White Plains, NY) compared with the Cybex 6000 was .574--.664 for pronation and .749--.750 for supination. Conclusion The Baseline hydraulic dynamometer with a more functional doorknob handle had good intraand interrater reliability and demonstrated moderate validity compared with Cybex 6000 strength testing.

Promoting healthy lifestyles with aging / Jengliang Eric HWANG in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010) . - p. 786-795 Titre : Promoting healthy lifestyles with aging : development and validation of the health enhancement lifestyle profile (HELP) using the Rasch Measurement Model Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jengliang Eric HWANG Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 786-795 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Condition vie  Promotion santé Résumé : This study was conducted to develop and validate the Health Enhancement Lifestyle Profile (HELP), a selfreport measure for examining various aspects of health-related lifestyle in older adults. Data derived from 253 community-dwelling older adults were analyzed through the Rasch measurement model. Unidimensionality and data-model fit of HELP were largely supported through the analyses of principal components of residuals, fit statistics, local dependency, and differential item functioning. The item hierarchy formed through logits provided an expected pattern of healthy lifestyle behaviors. Acceptable to good person separation and reliability statistics supported the clinical applicability and consistency of the HELP scores. Finally, analysis of the rating scale structure confirmed the functioning of the 0- to 5-point rating scale used. HELP can assist in monitoring lifestyle risk factors and measuring the outcome of services aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles among older adults.

Transporting children in wheelchairs in passenger vehicles: a comparison of best practice to observed and reported practice in a pilot sample: Brief Report / Janell YONKMAN in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010) . - p. 804-808 Titre : Transporting children in wheelchairs in passenger vehicles: a comparison of best practice to observed and reported practice in a pilot sample: Brief Report Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Janell YONKMAN ; Joseph O'NEIL ; Judith TALTY Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 804-808 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Handicap  Enfant  Transport adapté  Fauteuil roulant Résumé : Objectives We compared observed and reported practice among children with special health care needs transported in wheelchairs with the recommendations from the American National Standards Institute/Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America Committee on Wheelchairs and Transportation voluntary standards for best practice for using wheelchairs in vehicles. Method A convenience sample of vehicles exiting the garage of a children’s hospital was observed. Certified child passenger safety technicians gathered driver demographics and the child’s reported medical condition, weight, age, clinic visited, and relation to the driver. Technicians observed how the wheelchair and occupant were secured. Results A sample of 20 vehicles showed that 90% used four-point tie-down systems to secure the wheelchairs. A total of 88% of drivers tied the wheelchairs down correctly; only 20% used a separate lap--shoulder belts to secure the occupants. Twenty-five percent used lap trays, which are not recommended. Fifteen participants traveled with medical equipment secured inappropriately. Conclusion Many deviations from best practice were observed and highlight areas for increased awareness, education, and resources for caregivers.

Use of mental practice to improve upper-limb recovery after stroke / Dawn M. NILSEN in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010) . - p. 695-708 Titre : Use of mental practice to improve upper-limb recovery after stroke : a systematic review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Dawn M. NILSEN ; Glen Gillen ; Andrew M. Gordon Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 695-708 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Récupération  Accident cérébrovasculaire  Représentation Résumé : Objectives We sought to determine whether mental practice is an effective intervention to improve upperlimb recovery after stroke. Method We conducted a systematic review of the literature, searching electronic databases for the years 1985 to February 2009. We selected studies according to specified criteria, rated each study for level of evidence, and summarized study elements. Results Studies differed with respect to design, patient characteristics, intervention protocols, and outcome measures. All studies used imagery of tasks involving movement of the impaired limb. The length of the interventions and number of practice hours varied. Results suggest that mental practice combined with physical practice improves upper-limb recovery. Conclusion When added to physical practice, mental practice is an effective intervention. However, generalizations are difficult to make. Further research is warranted to determine who will benefit from training, the dosing needed, the most effective protocols, whether improvements are retained, and whether mental practice affects perceived occupational performance.

Use of occupations and activities in a modified constraint-induced movement therapy program: a musician’s triumphs over chronic hemiparesis from stroke / Donald EARLEY in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010) . - p. 735-744 Titre : Use of occupations and activities in a modified constraint-induced movement therapy program: a musician’s triumphs over chronic hemiparesis from stroke : case report Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Donald EARLEY ; Ellen HERLACHE ; Dana R. SKELTON Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 735-744 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Activités vie quotidienne  Parésie  Accident cérébrovasculaire Résumé : Objectives This case report addresses the use of therapeutic occupations and activities within a modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) approach for a 52-yr-old female violinist 4 yr after ischemic stroke. Method Analysis of occupational performance was completed before and after intervention using a modified version of the Fugl-Meyer Sensorimotor Evaluation, the Motor Functioning Assessment, the Arm Improvement and Movement Checklist, and information obtained from a client journal maintained throughout treatment. The mCIMT protocol included use of constraint of the affected arm, with emphasis placed on participation in meaningful occupations and activities. Results Improved function in the affected extremity was noted at the conclusion of mCIMT. After completion of therapy, the client reported a return to playing violin. DISCUSSION. The findings from this case report suggest that use of meaningful occupations and activities integrated into a mCIMT protocol may be effective in addressing skills deficits for clients with upper-extremity chronic hemiparesis.

Use of the occupational therapy task-oriented approach to optimize the motor performance of a client with cognitive limitations / Katharine PREISSNER in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 64/5 (septembre-octobre 2010) . - p. 727-734 Titre : Use of the occupational therapy task-oriented approach to optimize the motor performance of a client with cognitive limitations : Case report Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Katharine PREISSNER Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : p. 727-734 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fonction cognitive  Accident cérébrovasculaire Résumé : This case report describes the use of the Occupational Therapy Task-Oriented Approach with a client with occupational performance limitations after a cerebral vascular accident. The Occupational Therapy Task- Oriented Approach is often suggested as a preferred neurorehabilitation intervention to improve occupational performance by optimizing motor behavior. One common critique of this approach, however, is that it may seem inappropriate or have limited application for clients with cognitive deficits. This case report demonstrates how an occupational therapist working in an inpatient rehabilitation setting used the occupational therapy task-oriented evaluation framework and treatment principles described by Mathiowetz (2004) with a person with significant cognitive limitations. This approach was effective in assisting the client in meeting her long-term goals, maximizing her participation in meaningful occupations, and successfully transitioning to home with her daughter.
