According to the CDC, the leading cause of TBI is falls, particularly for young children and adults over 65. Other common causes of TBI include accidental blunt force trauma, motor vehicle accidents, and violent assaults. If you have had a TBI, rehabilitation (or rehab) will be an important part of your recovery
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.
Outcome Measures for Traumatic Brain InjuryDhaval Shukla
This document discusses various outcome measures used to assess disability following traumatic brain injury (TBI). It describes scales that measure impairment, activity limitation, and participation restriction including the Glasgow Coma Scale, Functional Independence Measure, and Community Integration Questionnaire. Two commonly used global outcome scales are described in detail: the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS). Neuropsychological assessment and the Quality of Life after Brain Injury scale are also summarized.
Specialization is the process by which a physical therapist builds on a broad base of professional education and practice to develop a greater depth of knowledge and skills related to a particular area of practice.
Clinical specialization in physical therapy responds to a specific area of patient need and requires knowledge, skill, and experience exceeding that of the physical therapist at entry to the profession and unique to the specialized area of practice.
This document discusses physical rehabilitation for cancer survivors. Physical rehabilitation can help survivors regain independence and adjust to physical changes from cancer or its treatment. It may include exercises to improve strength and mobility, learning new ways to do daily activities, and working with therapists like physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. Physical rehabilitation is generally recommended for survivors who have difficulty with mobility, balance, energy levels, or major physical changes that interfere with daily life after primary cancer treatment ends. The goal is to help survivors physically recover and adapt to life after a cancer diagnosis.
Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious condition with high mortality and morbidity. Survivors often have reduced quality of life and dependence. Outcomes are influenced by clinical factors like age, hypertension, and severity of bleed, as well as availability of specialized care and rehabilitation. Rehabilitation should begin as soon as medically feasible and involve a multidisciplinary team addressing physical, cognitive, and psychosocial impairments. With comprehensive rehabilitation, outcomes after SAH can improve over time.

This randomized controlled trial compared the effectiveness of spinal manipulation therapy (SMT), medication, and home exercise with advice (HEA) for acute and subacute neck pain. The trial found that:
1) SMT had a statistically significant advantage over medication in reducing pain up to 1 year after treatment based on participant-reported pain levels.
2) HEA was as effective as SMT, with no important differences in pain reduction between the two treatments at any time point.
3) Both SMT and HEA were more effective for reducing neck pain than medication in both the short and long term.
The document summarizes the history and development of osteopathic medicine from its founding in the 1800s by Andrew Taylor Still to its current practice. It describes how Still was dissatisfied with conventional medicine of the time and sought to develop a scientific, natural treatment system based on manipulating the musculoskeletal system. It traces the challenges osteopathic medicine faced gaining acceptance, the expansion of its schools and practice areas over time, and how it has integrated certain conventional medical practices while retaining Still's core principles.
Clinical reasoning is one of the pillars for good physiotherapy practice. It is an integral component of evidence based practice. It is a thought process that develops over time in a clinician. The first step is to start thinking of a clinical problem.
The lecture is delivered to first year physiotherapy students at Kathmandu University School of Medical Sciences, Nepal. The students will continue with case discussion using similar model proposed by Mark Jones and Darren Rivett in his book. Further real cases and the cases in Mark Jones will be discussed in the subsequent classes over the Bachelor of Physiotherapy course.
Neuro-rehabilitation is a complex medical process that aims to aid recovery from nervous system injuries and minimize functional alterations. It involves a multidisciplinary team addressing issues like activities of daily living, speech, counseling, bladder/bowel control, exercise, cognition, education, and goal setting to promote the highest level of independence possible after brain or spinal cord damage and encourage rebuilding self-esteem.
This document reviews arguments for and against the traditional general practitioner-led model of care for patients with musculoskeletal pain. It discusses how musculoskeletal pain is common and costly. Currently, most healthcare systems rely on general practitioners to be the first point of contact for patients with musculoskeletal issues like back pain, but some evidence suggests this model may not be best. The review critically analyzes the key arguments for and against different professional groups taking responsibility for early assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal problems.
This presentation was prepared for educating the patients with stroke and their caregivers about the role of Occupational Therapy in Parkinson's Disease. It gives a very BRIEF over view about OT in Parkinson's Disease rehabilitation
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.
The document outlines a rehabilitation program for chronic psychiatric patients to reintroduce them back into society. It discusses establishing goals and phases for the program, conducting SWOT analysis, assigning case managers to develop rehabilitation plans, implementing a color-coded system to track patient progress, defining roles for staff like psychiatrists and occupational therapists, and addressing managerial issues like coordinating with other departments and changing ward names. The overall aim is to use scientifically-based rehabilitation activities to improve patients' functioning and reduce relapses.

Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) was more effective than medication for relieving acute or subacute neck pain in both the short and long term. Home exercise with advice (HEA) resulted in similar pain outcomes to SMT at most time points. For 272 participants with neck pain lasting 2-12 weeks, SMT had statistically significantly less pain than medication after 8 weeks and up to 1 year later. HEA was superior to medication for pain relief at 26 weeks. No important differences in pain were found between SMT and HEA. The trial demonstrated that SMT and HEA were both more effective than medication for acute or subacute neck pain.
The document discusses disability rehabilitation and provides definitions of key terms from the World Health Organization. It describes the roles of an interdisciplinary rehabilitation team which includes various medical professionals. The team provides comprehensive client assessments and works together with a family-centered approach to set goals and facilitate positive outcomes for clients. Physiotherapy and occupational therapy services are outlined, along with techniques for oromotor rehabilitation to address common issues like drooling.
This document discusses cognitive rehabilitation therapy (CRT). It began in the 1920s to help veterans with brain injuries relearn cognitive skills. CRT aims to restore lost cognitive functions or teach compensatory strategies. An interdisciplinary team may provide CRT to help those with conditions like stroke, dementia, TBI regain independence. Occupational therapists play a key role in CRT by helping clients relearn skills through functional activities to improve daily living. Strong evidence shows CRT's effectiveness, especially when provided through interdisciplinary collaboration.
The article discusses the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on physiatry and rehabilitation medicine. It highlights how physiatrists played a vital role in the front lines during the pandemic by converting rehabilitation units and innovating care delivery. However, the pandemic has also caused significant disruptions and stress for medical practices through reduced patient volumes, higher costs, and threats of reimbursement cuts from insurers and governments. Moving forward, physicians are questioning the level of support they will receive from their employers and the government given the sacrifices many have made during the pandemic.

Gerdes that includes his contact information, occupational history as a chiropractor since 2010, education including a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in 2008, licensure information, selected postgraduate education and certifications in areas related to chiropractic and neurology, and publications.
This document summarizes the key differences between occupational therapy and physical therapy. Occupational therapy focuses on promoting health and well-being through daily activities, and aims to help patients regain independence. Physical therapy concentrates on treating injuries directly and preventing future injuries by improving mobility. Both fields work to rehabilitate patients through exercises and help them resume daily routines. While physical therapists focus on the physical aspects, occupational therapists address the mental aspect as well. The two fields often collaborate to ensure patients can move well and care for themselves independently.

Occupational therapy (OT) helps people across their lifespan participate in everyday activities through therapeutic use of tasks. OT practitioners provide practical solutions to help people arrange daily activities to maximize function. The main focus of OT is on areas of occupation like activities of daily living, work, education, and leisure. OT evaluations involve creating an occupational profile and analyzing performance, with the goal of developing and implementing intervention plans to improve outcomes. OT is provided in various settings and treats many diagnoses by utilizing techniques like education, modalities, splinting, strengthening, and occupation-based activities.
A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. The main causes are blood clots (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). Symptoms depend on the affected brain region but may include weakness, numbness, vision issues, and speech problems. Risk factors include age, family history, diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and obesity. Diagnosis involves physical exams, CT scans and MRI. Treatment focuses on rehabilitation to regain functions through therapies like occupational and physical therapy. Prevention emphasizes controlling risk factors through healthy lifestyle choices and medical management of conditions.
Occupational therapy deals with mental strength and fine motor skills like writing and grasping objects, while physical therapy focuses on physical strength and general motor skills like walking. Both fields sometimes work together, such as when a patient is paralyzed - the physical therapist teaches wheelchair mobility and the occupational therapist helps with hand skills. The main difference is that occupational therapy addresses mental and fine motor abilities, while physical therapy concentrates on physical strength and gross motor functions for everyday living.

Traumatic Brain Injury occurs when sudden trauma damages the brain through bleeding, bruising or tearing of nerves. Common causes include car, motorcycle or bicycle accidents, falls, violence, explosions or abuse. Symptoms vary but may include unconsciousness, headaches, vomiting, dizziness, seizures, weakness or speech/memory problems. Doctors assess severity using scales like the Glascow Coma Scale and perform tests like CT/MRI scans and intracranial pressure monitors. Treatment focuses on reducing swelling through medications, therapy, and sometimes surgery while rehabilitation addresses physical, occupational and speech therapy which may continue for months or years. Prevention emphasizes seatbelt/helmet use and avoiding falls or substance abuse. TBI affects patients and
This document discusses head injuries, including classification, signs and symptoms, diagnostic tests, management, and rehabilitation. Head injuries can be scalp injuries, skull fractures, or brain injuries including concussions and contusions. Risk factors include alcohol use, young age, and certain activities. Signs may include changes in behavior, vomiting, or seizures. Diagnostic tests include CT scans, MRI, and blood tests. Initial management focuses on airway, breathing, circulation, and external examination. Rehabilitation therapies aid recovery and may include cognitive, physical, speech, and occupational therapies.
The Glasgow Coma Scale is a neurological scale used to assess and record a person's state of consciousness after brain injury. It evaluates motor response, verbal response, and eye opening on a scale of 1 to 6 for motor, 1 to 5 for verbal, and 1 to 4 for eye opening. The scores are added up to give a total between 3 and 15, with lower scores indicating more severe brain injury and worse prognosis. The scale categorizes levels of injury from mild to severe disability, vegetative state, and brain death.
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) was developed as a simple, practical tool for assessing neurological injury and monitoring patients. It evaluates eye opening, verbal response, and motor response on a scale of 3-15. A lower score indicates a lower level of consciousness and worse prognosis. While initially created for adults, modified versions have been made for children who cannot communicate verbally. Though developed decades ago, the GCS remains the standard for initial assessment of brain injury severity and predicting outcomes.
The document discusses a presentation given by three occupational therapy students on depression in older adults. It begins with introducing the presenters and their backgrounds and qualifications. The presentation objectives are then outlined, which are to define key terms related to occupational therapy and depression, discuss symptoms and causes of depression, explain how occupational therapy can help those with depression, and describe the Geriatric Depression Scale assessment tool. The bulk of the document provides details on these topics, explaining concepts like occupational therapy, depression, the populations occupational therapists work with, and how the Geriatric Depression Scale is used to screen for depression in older adults.

The document discusses the importance of work for health and well-being. It notes that prolonged absence from work can be detrimental, so physicians should encourage returning to work as soon as it is safely possible. The document also acknowledges that determining specific work capacities can be difficult and inexact, as capacities depend on risk, tolerance and other individual factors.
Slockett and bogue natl physician well being conference april 5 2013Richard Bogue
1) The document discusses physician well-being and maintaining personal wellness as a physician. It examines well-being across four domains: bio-physical, psycho-emotional, socio-relational, and religio-spiritual.
2) Research with over 1,000 physicians found measures of well-being across the four domains to be reliable and valid. Lower well-being in these areas is associated with higher risk of burnout.
3) Maintaining well-being provides protective factors to help physicians handle stressors in their personal and professional lives more effectively. Prioritizing well-being across all domains can help prevent poor outcomes like burnout.
Physical therapists help patients restore function and mobility through rehabilitation from injuries and diseases. Their work involves evaluating patients, creating rehabilitation programs, monitoring progress, and discharging patients when treatment is complete. Physical therapists must earn a doctorate degree and pass licensure exams to practice. They read professional journals and textbooks to stay informed on techniques and research. Students can prepare for a career in physical therapy by shadowing therapists, reading relevant materials, and practicing writing skills like exercise prescriptions.
Occupational Therapy (Geriatric) Kawa Model CaseJou Yin Teoh
This occupational therapy case presentation discusses an evaluation of an elderly client who suffered a stroke. The therapist used the Kawa model to understand the client's situation and priorities. Through interviews and assessments, the therapist identified goals for maintaining the client's independence in daily activities. A treatment plan was developed that focused on caregiver education and collaborative goal setting to support the client's well-being and quality of life despite physical limitations. The prognosis was poor due to multiple health complications and environmental constraints outside of the therapist's control.
This webinar discusses supporting patients' return to work (RTW) after illness or injury. Early discussion of RTW expectations is important. While RTW can be complex due to non-medical factors, work is generally beneficial to health. Physicians should encourage RTW when it does not endanger safety. Physicians have additional RTW tasks like assessing function, setting activity prescriptions, and reviewing job demands. Focusing on function rather than symptoms helps determine disability. Motivation, medical and workplace barriers can delay RTW and physicians have tools to address these challenges.
The document discusses aging well through maintaining physical activity and an engaged lifestyle. It suggests occupational therapists can help older adults through preventative interventions that promote independence and reduce healthcare costs. Evidence shows occupational therapy can improve health, function and quality of life for older clients. The workshop encourages reflection on how participants intend to age well themselves and whether their views on working with older clients have changed.
The document discusses problems with medical practice in Japan, specifically with "Daimyo-gyoretsu" or large professor-led rounds. These rounds involve large groups of doctors briefly checking on many patients with little interaction or privacy. The document proposes adopting smaller team-based rounds that allow more time with each patient and respect privacy. Studies show smaller rounds improve patient satisfaction and education compared to current professor rounds. The document concludes Japan should adopt continuous improvement ("kaizen") to rounds in order to enhance quality of care and patient experience.

Megan McLelland is a physician who focuses on primary care and manual medicine. She has a holistic outlook influenced by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathic medicine in 1892. Dr. Still opened the first osteopathic school in Missouri after studying alternative treatments and believing orthodox medicine was ineffective. Osteopathic medicine focuses on how the musculoskeletal system impacts health and uses osteopathic manipulative medicine to improve the body's functioning and ability to heal. Today, the majority of osteopathic physicians specialize in family/general practice, and while differences between DOs and MDs exist, their roles are becoming increasingly similar with both licensed in all 50 states.
Social Uses of Personal Health Information Within PatientsLikeMe (4 Aud 1000 ...Gunther Eysenbach
The document discusses the PatientsLikeMe online community, where patients with various health conditions can share personal health information. It finds that patients use the site in three key ways: [1] to ask targeted questions of others with similar experiences, [2] to provide advice and recommendations based on personal experiences, and [3] to form relationships with others facing shared health concerns. The analysis suggests these social interactions allow patients to support each other and make more informed health decisions together than they could alone.

A DO is a physician who receives a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree and emphasizes a holistic approach to medicine, including osteopathic manipulative medicine. The first DO school was founded in 1892 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, who believed orthodox medicine was ineffective. Today, DOs are licensed to practice in all 50 U.S. states and focus on primary care more than other specialties. While the differences between DOs and MDs have lessened over time, DOs still place greater emphasis on preventative health and treating the whole patient. Becoming a DO requires an undergraduate degree with prerequisite courses, the MCAT, and graduation from an accredited osteopathic medical school.

MEDINFO 2013 Panel on Personalized Healthcare and Adherence: Issues and Chall...Pei-Yun Sabrina Hsueh
Venue: The 14th World Congress on Medical and Health Informatics will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark.
http://medinfo2013.dk
Moderator: Dr. Marion Ball (IBM Research/JHU); Panelists: Dr. Vimla Patel (NYAM), Dr. Bern Shen (Healthcrowd), Dr. Pei-Yun Sabrina Hsueh (IBM Research)
Organizer: Dr. Pei-Yun Sabrina Hsueh (phsueh@us.ibm.com)
Personalization is key to the delivery of wellness care including preventive measures and disease management regimes, where patients take on increased responsibility for
their own health. While personalized care has already taken a giant leap through genomics, it remains a challenge to understand how individual differences play a role in patient adherence and manage recommended changes accordingly.
Practical methods of creating and evaluating personalized
systems have not been fully established. In particular, the role of data-driven analytics in producing actionable insights for practitioners is unclear, and the use of behavioral data has created additional challenges to the understanding of patient adherence for effective care delivery.
The panel will discuss the challenges that face many countries around personalized care from various perspectives. These range from behavioral aspects such as maintaining good practices, cognitive aspects such as how do individuals make decisions in the lights of good evidence, social aspects such as how to engage patients in sustaining adherence behavior, to technological aspects such as how to evaluate individual applicability of data-driven analytics and personalized technological systems.
The panel is expected to contribute to the global community by presenting lessons learned from
existing pilot designs and a collective list of recommendations for pilot design of personalized services at the conclusion of this panel.

The goal of the Speak Up™ program is to help patients become more informed and involved in their health care.
Every year nearly 6,000 Americans become
living organ donors. Usually, they donate a kidney.
But donors can also give a part of their liver, lung
or pancreas. If you are thinking about becoming
a living organ donor, this brochure gives you
important questions to ask your health care team.
Can anyone be a donor?
No. Living organ donors must be healthy. They
cannot have diseases like diabetes, cancer, and
kidney, heart and blood disease. Also, the donor’s
blood type must match the recipient’s. And, donors
must be able to handle the stress of surgery
and recovery.
Will you have medical tests?
Yes. Your health care team will do tests to see if you
are healthy enough to be a donor. Tell them about
your health history and any concerns you have.
Are there risks?
All surgeries have risks, including the risk of death.
You could get an infection or another complication.
Ask about the risks of your surgery.
Will you get the same kind of health care
as the organ recipient?
Both you and the organ recipient should expect safe,
quality care.
Is living organ donation always successful?
No. Sometimes, the recipient’s body rejects the new
organ. Or, the recipient may have complications.
You can ask about the expected result of the
surgery for the recipient, and the risks to him or her.
Can you change your mind?
Yes. You can change your mind at any time for any
reason. Organ donation is a personal decision. No
one can make the decision for you. You should not
feel pressured to donate.
How do you get ready for the surgery?
• Ask your health insurance company if it will cover
your care and any complications from the surgery.
• Ask if your premium or coverage will change as a
result of your donation.
• Ask your life insurance company if you ...

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
