Headway UK provides support and information to people with acquired brain injuries and their families through a network of local support groups across the UK. The organization aims to bridge the gap between medical care after brain injuries and cognitive rehabilitation services. Cognitive rehabilitation involves holistic assessment and treatment, including education about cognitive issues, goal setting, skills training, compensation strategies, and addressing emotional needs. Two case studies are presented: Ian, who had memory and attention problems treated with cognitive strategies and anxiety management, and Heather, whose frontal lobe damage caused behavioral issues treated with medication, education, counseling, and involvement in a volunteer program.
This document discusses the concepts of context and environment as defined in the Occupational Therapy Framework. It describes four contexts - cultural, personal, temporal, and virtual - and how they influence performance. It also defines the physical and social environments and provides examples of each. Contexts and environments are interrelated factors that shape engagement in occupations.

Stroke cognitive deficits and rehabilitation dr venugopal kochiyilmrinal joshi
Cognitive impairments are common after stroke, impacting up to 70% of patients, but are often underdiagnosed and untreated. They affect domains like attention, memory, language, and executive functions. Assessment tools can help identify impairments, but treatment approaches lack strong evidence. Cognitive rehabilitation aims to retrain or compensate for deficits through strategies, external aids, and therapy targeting specific impairments, though improvements often remain limited.
Occupational therapy management in traumatic brain injuryDineshKandeepan
The document discusses occupational therapy management for patients with traumatic brain injury. It describes common impairments patients may experience such as abnormal reflexes, muscle tone issues, weakness, sensory changes and more. It then outlines the evaluation tools and interventions occupational therapists use at different stages of recovery including positioning, range of motion exercises, splinting, sensory stimulation and family education. The goal is to optimize motor and cognitive functioning and help patients regain independence in daily activities.
Occupational therapy aims to help cancer patients achieve maximum functional independence despite their prognosis. For a 70-year-old woman with breast cancer, chemotherapy caused fatigue, cognitive issues, and lymphedema. Occupational therapy assessed her difficulties with activities of daily living, instrumental activities, and leisure due to fatigue. Interventions included energy conservation strategies, activity modifications, external memory aids, and problem-solving training to improve independence with tasks like morning routines, chores, grocery shopping, and bill paying. The patient demonstrated reduced fatigue and improved cognitive function and satisfaction with occupational performance after therapy.
This document discusses the importance of assessment in occupational therapy and physical therapy. It notes that assessment expertise will be critical for the future of these professions as the healthcare environment rapidly changes and demands for efficiency, accountability, and effectiveness increase. Recent publications by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations emphasize the growing need for performance measurement and outcome assessment in clinical settings. Mastering assessment techniques will allow rehabilitation practitioners to keep pace with developments in healthcare and move their professions to a leadership position.
This document outlines an activity for occupational therapy students to conceptualize a case study of a client named Mrs. Rita Phillip using one of four occupational therapy models: MOHO, PEOM, Kawa, or CMOP-E. Students will work in small groups to analyze Mrs. Rita's medical and family background, personal interests, and current physical and mental status using the chosen model. The groups will then present their analysis in a poster or short discussion.

The document discusses the biomedical model of medicine and its key assumptions. The biomedical model views illness as caused by biological factors outside an individual's control. Treatment focuses on physical changes through methods like surgery and medication. It separates the mind and body. Later, behavioral health and health psychology challenged some of these assumptions by recognizing psychological and social factors can influence health. The biomedical model focused only on physical treatment, while newer approaches treat the whole person.
Colin Jones presented a case study on his client Eileen, a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome. Eileen was dependent on others for activities of daily living and mobility following her illness. The occupational therapy process included assessments, goal setting to improve independence, and recommending Eileen for rehabilitation. Interventions targeted improving upper limb function and mobility to allow Eileen to return safely to her two-story home.
The document discusses several standardized assessments used to evaluate cognitive functioning:
- The Allen's Cognitive Level Screen evaluates visual-motor tasks of increasing complexity to assess learning potential and cognitive processing.
- The Westmead Post Traumatic Amnesia Scale consists of 12 questions to measure orientation and new memory in those with traumatic brain injuries and monitors recovery from post-traumatic amnesia.
- Cognistat screens five ability areas through tasks administered by an examiner to identify cognitive impairments.
- The Wessex Head Injury Matrix can assess patients from coma through minimally conscious states to set rehabilitation goals.
- The Lowenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment uses 25 subtests in areas
1) Facilitation techniques in physical therapy aim to stimulate the sensory system to elicit a motor response, based on principles of associative learning.
2) While techniques like NDT and PNF have focused on stimulus-response relationships, a modern understanding recognizes that the brain learns through perception and goal-directed responses rather than simple conditioning.
3) Effective facilitation should incorporate active-assisted learning during functional activities, allowing patients to achieve motor responses without constant sensory cues, in line with theories of associative learning.
Occupational Therapy- Biomechanical dysfunction and analysisStephan Van Breenen
Occupational therapists assess biomechanical function to determine limitations, required improvements, and the focus and effectiveness of treatment. Range of motion, muscle strength, endurance, contractures, and the effects of immobility are evaluated. Prolonged lack of movement can lead to deconditioning, weakness, and skeletal or psychological issues. Wound healing involves hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation of new tissue, and maturation of collagen over time as the wound gains strength.

Occupational Therapy Theory & Practice Models and Frame of ReferenceStephan Van Breenen
Occupational therapy uses models and frames of reference to guide practice. Models provide overarching perspectives on health, well-being, and participation in occupations. Frames of reference are founded on models and focus on specific elements of occupational performance to guide the evaluation and treatment process. Occupational therapy practitioners use models and frames of reference together to plan and implement client-centered interventions.
Occupational therapy can help the elderly population with daily living activities. Therapists assist seniors with tasks like cooking, cleaning, and personal care. The goal is to improve independence and quality of life for older adults through customized interventions and exercises.
This document provides information on normal motor development in infants. It discusses dynamic systems theory and a task-oriented approach to motor development. It outlines characteristics of normal motor development including reflexes, primitive reflexes, and patterns of development. The document describes what constitutes normal movement and notes that normal development depends on maturation of the nervous system, genetics, environmental experiences and sensory systems. It provides details on specific reflexes like rooting, asymmetric tonic neck, moro, grasp, and plantar grasp. The document also covers postural control, balance, righting reactions, and equilibrium reactions in infant motor development.
This document discusses sensory integration techniques. It defines sensory integration as the process by which the brain organizes sensory input to produce useful responses. It describes the seven senses and the three main sensory systems - tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular. For each system, it provides examples of how it works and suggestions for activities to improve sensory integration. Implementing these techniques may help children improve attention, processing, flexibility, balance, motor skills and handwriting.
Cognitive rehabilitation aims to help recover mental functions impaired by brain injury through restoration, substitution, and restructuring approaches. Computerized cognitive rehabilitation (CACR) uses computer programs and exercises to retrain impaired cognitive skills. It provides personalized feedback and reinforcement through tasks of increasing difficulty. Research shows CACR improves attention, memory, and executive functions in patients with brain injuries, learning disabilities, schizophrenia, substance abuse disorders, depression, and multiple sclerosis compared to control groups. CACR appears as effective as traditional face-to-face rehabilitation with similar costs. Issues include variability in brain injury characteristics and rehabilitation programs across studies.
Occupational therapists play an important role in palliative care by helping patients optimize their function and participate in meaningful occupations to promote dignity and quality of life, through home assessments, equipment provision, addressing symptoms like pain and fatigue, and supporting patients' goals to live and die in their preferred care setting. OTs take a holistic approach to consider patients' physical, psychological, social, and spiritual needs and assist them in adapting to end-of-life challenges.
A comparison of two occupational therapy modelsJou Yin Teoh
How do occupational therapy clients' lives look like through a clinician's lenses? This presentation aims to compare how clients' lives look like via two different occupational therapy tools - the Kawa Model and the Canadian Model of Occupational Therapy. We discuss the pros and cons and also the possibility of using both models in combination, not very well known but encouraged by renowned occupational therapy theorists and industry leaders.
Motor imagery, mirror therapy, and interlimb transfer training can be used in hand rehabilitation. A review found limited evidence that motor imagery combined with other rehabilitation is beneficial for improving upper extremity function after stroke compared to rehabilitation without motor imagery. A study also found that having patients perform motor imagery during hand immobilization after flexor tendon repair helped improve hand function compared to immobilization alone.
Intellectual disability is complex and affects each person differently. It involves below average cognitive ability and difficulties in areas of functioning that are present from childhood. While IQ provides a measure of cognitive ability, it does not define the whole person or their needs. Providing support requires understanding each individual's unique profile of abilities, circumstances, and how intellectual disability impacts them.
The document discusses grading in occupational therapy. Grading refers to gradually modifying or progressing an activity to meet a therapeutic goal based on a client's skill level. Activities can be up-graded or down-graded to make them more or less difficult. Grading a treatment program involves starting with easy activities and progressing to harder ones. Grading a specific activity involves determining a client's abilities and selecting an appropriate activity to remediate deficiencies. The key factors that make an activity appropriate depend on the specific remediation goal.
Evidence-based occupational therapy interventions in mental healthStephan Van Breenen
This document discusses evidence-based occupational therapy interventions for mental health. It begins by outlining the PICO framework for developing evidence-based questions. It then discusses the continuum of mental health and the public health approach to mental health services. Occupational therapy interventions are described at three tiers: intensive for those with mental illness, targeted prevention services, and universal promotion services. Specific evidence-based programs and interventions are provided as examples, including cognitive remediation and CBT. Occupational functioning is discussed in relation to cognition, memory, and executive functioning challenges for those with mental illness.
This document discusses concepts in occupational therapy for upper limb injuries. It covers tissue healing principles like anti-deformity positioning. It also discusses wound healing phases and concepts like avoiding pain with movement. Assessment tools are outlined including standardized dexterity tests. Peripheral nerve injury classifications and common injuries like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendon injuries are explained. Treatment approaches include edema control, splinting and exercises.
The Healing Circle document describes a culturally diverse healing tool offered by Healing Our Spirit to help Aboriginal families affected by HIV/AIDS. Participants were brought together in undisclosed locations to address their concerns in a respectful manner. By engaging in open communication using sacred objects like an Eagle feather, participants found comfort in sharing their experiences. This improved understanding of their health issues and relationships. The Healing Circle empowered participants to create support networks and wellness plans for ongoing physical, emotional and spiritual healing.

The document provides information on stress, its causes and symptoms, as well as tips for managing stress and achieving overall health and wellness. It discusses that stress is the body's response to demands placed on it and can result from environmental, physical or chemical factors. Stress causes imbalance and leads to diseases. Managing stress involves lifestyle habits like a healthy diet, exercise, socializing, relaxation techniques and having a positive mindset. Total health requires care of physical, mental, emotional and other aspects of well-being.
OBJECTIVES:
If I were starting an adolescent treatment center what would I want to make sure adolescents and families learn?
Identify and Describe How Families Arrive at your door.
To Demonstrate the Power of Family Mapping and the Art and Science of Portraiture.
Clinical and Reverse Interventions - what are these and how to do?
Share Standard Vocabulary Families need to know Family Change Agreements - What are these - when to use?
This document provides an introduction and background for a dialogue between a teacher and student on the topic of Namasmaran (remembering God or the true self) and its relevance to total stress management. The teacher is Dr. Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikar, who has various medical degrees and is a professor and head of the physiology department at a medical institute in India. The student questions how the seemingly "unproductive" practice of Namasmaran could help with practical day-to-day stresses. The teacher agrees to explain his perspective on this in their discussion.
The document discusses intergenerational trauma and its impacts. It notes that trauma can be passed down from generation to generation if not resolved. Cultural trauma impacts entire societies by attacking the fabric of the community. The concept of an "invisible backpack" is introduced, which refers to how our culture, experiences and beliefs unconsciously influence our interactions. The cycle of pain, trauma and harm can be addressed through restoring balance, though harm reduction and focusing on wellness and resilience rather than disease models of health. The theory of the "wounded healer" is presented, where those who have experienced and processed trauma can develop greater empathy and understanding to help others.
The document discusses the six dimensions of wellness: emotional, intellectual, physical, spiritual, social, and occupational. Each dimension is defined as recognizing different aspects of a successful life. Emotional wellness includes accepting feelings and relationships. Intellectual wellness involves learning and creativity. Physical wellness is participating in health behaviors. Spiritual wellness is finding meaning and purpose. Social wellness contributes to community. Occupational wellness finds satisfaction from work. Overall, wellness is an active process of achieving full potential through awareness of choices in these six life areas.

This document contains a reflection on the student's educational journey, resume, and reflections on coursework. The high-level summary is:
1) The student reflects on completing their education over 23 years while raising a family, noting challenges like algebra and dissecting piglets in biology labs.
2) The resume outlines the student's work history in administrative, accounting, and managerial roles in healthcare and food industries, and education including a bachelor's degree and pursuing a master's degree.
3) In reflection, the student remembers challenges like algebra and strengths in psychology courses, and acknowledges help from their husband in passing statistics.
The document outlines four stages of life: preliminary, development, flowering, and culminating. It emphasizes the importance of properly utilizing the student period to prepare for the future. As a student, one should acquire both academic knowledge and knowledge of self-control and character development. In the second stage, one enters householder life, where the home becomes a place of worship and duties include caring for family and dependents. The third stage involves fulfilling family duties and preparing children for independence. The fourth stage is a time for inner reflection, detachment from worldly relations, and focusing the mind on the eternal.
CANSA places the spotlight on Caregivers this CANSA Care Week 1 – 7 August 2014.
Who is a Caregiver?
A Caregiver is anyone who cares, without being paid, for a friend or family member who is fighting cancer and cannot cope without support.
“We feel that sometimes Caregivers’ loving care and support, which they lend to those affected by cancer, can go unnoticed. We really hope to change that; the wellbeing of a Caregiver is just as important as that of the Survivor they are caring for. This CANSA Care Week, we want to encourage everyone to celebrate and salute all Caregivers

and beach within 10 minutes walk from home, nearest town 2 miles away, train station in town with

7. MY INDIVIDUALISED GRIEF
PROCESS Myself and professional medic implemented the following process:
Shock, Notice & Be Present; Clearance; Re-adjustment
Bowlby ‘s Stages of Grief is what I mostly identified with: shock and numbness; yearning and searching;
despair and disorganisation; re-organisation and recovery.
From the start I recognised this would be normal and my reactions would be unique to myself. I also
researched previous writings on grief and then recognised how important it was for me to view myself with an
occupational lens. This resulted in a fast processing of emotions and remaining in control, which benefitted me
enormously. Some of my friends even doubting I was dealing with my situation, which struck me was a reflection
of themselves. Actually I impressed myself and was proud of my resilience . I would also add I didn’t feel a need
to recover I kept going by being kind to myself, being present with my emotions and physical state
8. SAILING THROUGH GRIEF
Learning a new skill –Sailing.
Learning to use the tide and wind to enable me to go places rather than fighting
against them, turning potential hazards to my advantage, increasing confidence &
self efficacy. Using the elements and being in contact with nature as therapy.
Sailing allowed me to use existing skills and develop new ones and go in all
different directions of my own choosing, an uncanny parallel with life.
Benefits of new skills gave opportunities for matching skills and challenges,
sailing and boat maintenance, doing a boat delivery to Holland, sailing with a
disabled charity, winning first in class in Round the Island Race, completing AMPS
assessments on boats.
