Der volle Inhalt der QuelleObjective. The primary objective of this doctoral thesis was to describe OT and PT practices for young children with CP in the Province of Quebec, Canada.
Methods. This was a cross-sectional, multi-centered survey. All eligible and consenting pediatric occupational therapists (OTs) and physical therapists (PTs) were interviewed using a structured telephone interview based on vignettes of two typical children with CP at two age points---18 months and 4 years. Reported practices were grouped according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). Literature review of pediatric assessments and interventions potentially used for CP was done to determine their level of evidence of effectiveness. In addition, two expert groups provided, for each vignette, a best practice problem identification list and a best practice intervention list.
Results. A total of 62 PTs (83.8% participation rate) and 85 OTs (91.4% participation rate) participated in the study. Overall, 91.9% of PTs and 67.1% of OTs reported using at least one standardized pediatric assessment for at least one vignette. OT and PT interventions focused primarily on impairments and primary function, with less attention to interventions related to play and recreation/leisure. Clinicians reported the need for more training and education specific to CP and to the use of research findings in clinical practice. Wide variations and gaps were identified in therapists' responses suggesting the need for a basic standard of PT and OT management as well as strategies to encourage knowledge dissemination regarding current best practice. Further, implementation of evidence-based practice necessitates more collaboration between researchers, clinicians and administrators.

Background: In today's health care environment, developing expertise and making good decisions can be challenging when confronted with demands for high performance, high productivity, and low cost. Mindfulness may be a practice that can promote expertise and improve decision making, despite the pressures faced by occupational and physical therapists. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore and examine the potential relationships between expertise, mindfulness, and decision making. Methods: Occupational and physical therapists participated in a two-part study that included both quantitative and qualitative methodology. Seventy-five therapists completed a demographic questionnaire, a modified version of the Kentucky Inventory of Mindfulness Skills (KIMS-M), and the Peer-Rated Expertise in Occupational and Physical Therapy Scale (PREOPT). In the second part of the study, four therapists completed a case study using a think aloud protocol. Their verbalizations were analyzed, using verbal protocol, for trends and patterns that would reveal differences in the therapists' decision making processes. Results: Results of the first part of the study did not reveal a significant relationship between mindfulness, measure by the KIMS-M and expertise, measured by the PREOPT. Qualitative analysis suggests that mindfulness may affect therapists' approaches to decision making but does not indicate that these approaches result in better decision making. Further, the differences were surprising, as they were not consistent with current arguments about the effects of mindfulness. Conclusion: These preliminary results suggest a relationship between mindfulness and decision making approaches. However, further research is needed to confirm these observations and explore the nature of this relationship.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleENGLISH ABSTRACT: Introduction: This research was conducted to establish the assessment practices of occupational therapists working with clients with upper limb injuries and/or conditions. This was done to get an updated account of frequency and variation in the use of various assessment tools as well as reasons offered for infrequent use. Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was used. A convenience sample of therapists attending courses was recruited for the study. A questionnaire was developed for the study and face and content validity established through pilot testing. The questionnaire consisted of three sections containing demographic information and questions about upper limb assessment practices. Descriptive statistics were calculated for numerical and categorical data to describe the demographic characteristics and to identify the measurement tools that were used most frequently. The Chi-Square test of associations was used to determine whether there were any associations between frequency of use and demographic factors. Results: Questionnaires were completed by 81 (71%) respondents. Twenty-two (27.2%) of the respondents had more than five years’ experience in the field of hand therapy while the remainder (n=52, 64.2%) had less than five years. The more experienced therapists worked in the private sector (n=49, 60.5%) with two (0.03%) experienced therapists being employed in the public sector. The diagnoses that were seen most commonly were nerve injuries (90.1%), fractures (88.8%) and tendon injuries (85.1%). Of the 81 respondents 15 (18.5%) held post graduate qualifications in the field of hand therapy. Goniometry (68 of 81, 84.0%), manual muscle testing (62 of 81, 76.5%) and testing for flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis function (61 of 81, 76.3%) were used most frequently. Performance tests were used infrequently or not at all. The most common reasons for non-use of performance tests were that they were not available in the practice setting or respondents were not familiar with them. Significant associations were found between frequency of using measurement tools and practice setting, years of experience and holding a post graduate qualification in the field of hand therapy. There was a significant association between working in the private sector and using a dynamometer (p < 0.001), and working in government settings and frequent use of the test for localisation (p = 0.021). Therapists with more than five years’ experience in the field of hand therapy were significantly more likely to use Semmes Weinstein monofilaments (p = 0.034) as were those holding a post graduate qualification in hand therapy (p <0.001). Conclusion: The results of this study have serious implications in terms of the upper limb assessment practices of occupational therapists, especially in the context of evidence-based practice which has become crucial not only for the credibility of the profession, but also for its survival. Information obtained through this research could aid to guide education and training at an undergraduate and post graduate level and assist to direct a research focus for hand therapy in the South African context.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Inleiding: Hierdie navorsing is uitgevoer om die bepalingspraktyke van arbeidsterapeute wat werk met kliënte met boonste ledemaat beserings en/of toestande vas te stel om sodoende ‘n beeld te verkry van die frekwensie en variasie van die gebruik van bepalingsinstrumente. Redes aangebied vir ongereelde gebruik hiervan is ook ondersoek. Metode: 'n Kwantitatiewe deursnee-opname-ontwerp is gebruik. ’n Gerieflikheidssteekproef van terapeute wat kursusse bygewoon het, is gewerf vir die studie. ‘n Vraelys is ontwikkel vir die studie, en voorkoms- en inhoudsgeldigheid is bepaal deur ‘n loodstudie. Die vraelys het bestaan uit drie afdelings met demografiese inligting en vrae oor boonste ledemaat bepalingspraktyke. Beskrywende statistiek is bereken vir numeriese en kategoriese data ten einde die demografiese eienskappe te beskryf en die bepalingsmetodes wat die meeste gebruik is, te identifiseer. Die Chi-kwadraat toets is gebruik om te bepaal of daar enige assosiasies tussen die frekwensie van gebruik en demografiese faktore bestaan. Resultate: Vraelyste is deur 81 (71%) respondente voltooi. Twee-en-twintig (27,2%) van die respondente het meer as vyf jaar ondervinding in die veld van handterapie gehad, terwyl die res (n = 52, 64.2%) minder as vyf jaar gehad het. Die meer ervare terapeute het gewerk in die privaatsektor (n = 49, 60.5%) met twee (0,03%) ervare terapeute in diens van die staat. Senuweebeserings (90.1%), frakture (88,8%) en tendonbeserings (85.1%) was die meeste gesien. Van die 81 respondente het 15 (18,5%) ‘n nagraadse kwalifikasie in die veld van handterapie gehad. Goniometer (68 van 81, 84.0%), spiertoetsing (62 van 81, 76,5%) en die toetse vir fleksor digitorum profundus en superficialis funksie (61 van 81, 76,3%) is die meeste gebruik. Vaardigheidstoetse is selde of glad nie gebruik nie. Die mees algemene redes aangevoer vir die feit dat vaardigheidstoetse nie gebruik is nie, was dat dit óf nie beskikbaar is in die respondent se werksarea nie, óf dat respondente nie vertroud is met die toetse nie. Beduidende assosiasies is gevind tussen die frekwensie van die gebruik van bepalingsmetodes en werksarea, jare ervaring in handterapie en 'n nagraadse kwalifikasie in die veld van die handterapie. Daar was 'n beduidende assosiasie tussen terapeute werksaam in privaatpraktyk en die gebruik van 'n dinamometer (p < 0,001) en terapeute werksaam in die staat en gereelde gebruik van die lokalisasie toets (p = 0.021). Terapeute met meer as vyf jaar ondervinding, sowel as diegene met ’n nagraadse kwalifikasie in handterapie was beduidend meer geneig om Semmes Weinstein monofilaments te gebruik (p = 0,034 en p < 0,001 respektiewelik). Gevolgtrekking : Die bevindinge van hierdie studie het ernstige implikasies in terme van die arbeidsterapie bepalingspraktyke van die boonste ledemaat, veral in die konteks van bewys-gebaseerde praktykvoering (evidence based practice) wat noodsaaklik geword het nie net vir die geloofwaardigheid van die beroep nie, maar ook vir die oorlewing daarvan. Inligting wat verkry is deur middel van hierdie navorsing kan help met onderrig en opleiding op 'n voor-en nagraadse vlak. Dit kan ook help om navorsing in handterapie te rig binne die Suid- Afrikaanse konteks.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleBackground: Rehabilitation Robotics (RR) has become a more widely used and better understood treatment intervention and research tool in the last 15 years. Traditional research involves pre and post-test outcomes, making it difficult to analyze changes in behavior during the treatment process. Harnessing kinematics captured throughout each treatment allows motor learning to be quantified and questions of application and dosing to be answered. Objective: The aims of this secondary analysis were: (i) to investigate the impact of treatment presentation during RR on upper extremity movement time (mt) in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP) and (ii) to investigate the impact of training structure (dose and intensity) on mt in children with CP participating in RR. Methods: Subjects completed 16 intervention sessions of RR (2 x week; 8 weeks) with a total of 1,024 repetitions of movement per session and three assessments: pre, post and 6 month f/u. During each assessment and intervention, subjects completed “one-way record” assessments tracking performance on a planar task without robotic assistance. Kinematics from these records were extracted to assess subject performance over the course of and within sessions. Results: For all participants, a significant decrease in mt was found at post-test and follow-up. No significant differences were found in mt for age, severity or group placement. A significant interaction was found between treatment day, block and group (p = .033). Significant mt differences were found between the three blocks of intervention within individual days (p = .001). Specifically, significant differences were found over the last block of treatment (p = .032) and between successive treatment days (p = .001). Conclusion: The results indicate that for children with CP participating in RR, the number of repetitions per session is important. We hypothesized that children’s performance would plateau during a treatment day as attention waned, the opposite proved to be true. Despite the high-number of repetitions and associated cognitive demand, subjects’ performance actually trended upwards throughout the 1,024 repetitions suggesting that children were able to tolerate and learn from a high volume of repetitions.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleArthritis is a leading cause of pain and disability in Canada. Persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) should be seen by a rheumatologist within three months of symptom onset to begin appropriate medical treatment and improve health outcomes. Early physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) are beneficial for both osteoarthritis (OA) and RA and may prevent disability. The objectives of the study are to describe wait times from referral by primary care provider to rheumatology and rehabilitation consultation in the public system of Quebec and to explore associated factors. We conducted a cross-sectional study in the province of Quebec, Canada whereby we requested appointments from all rheumatology practices and public rehabilitation departments using case scenarios that were created by a group of experts. Three scenarios were developed for the rheumatology referrals: Presumed RA; Possible RA; and Presumed OA and two scenarios for the rehabilitation referrals: diagnosed RA and diagnosed OA. Wait times were evaluated as the time between the initial request and the appointment date provided. The statistical analysis consisted primarily of descriptive statistics as well as inferential statistics (bivariate comparisons and logistic regression). Seventy-one rheumatology practices were contacted. For all scenarios combined, 34% were given an appointment with a rheumatologist within three months of referral, 32% waited longer than three months and 34% were refused services. The odds of getting an appointment with a rheumatologist within three months was 13 times greater for the Presumed RA scenario versus the Presumed OA scenario (OR=13; 95% Cl[1.70;99.38]). However, 59% of the Presumed RA cases did not receive an appointment within three months. One hundred rehabilitation departments were also contacted. For both scenarios combined, 13% were given an appointment within 6 months, 13% within 6 to 12 months, 24% waited longer than 12 months and 22% were refused services. The remaining 28% were told that they would require an evaluation appointment based on functional assessment prior to being given an appointment. There was no difference with regards to diagnosis, RA versus OA, for the rehabilitation consultation. RA is prioritized over OA when obtaining an appointment to a rheumatologist in Quebec. However, the majority of persons with RA are still not receiving rheumatology or publicly accessible PT or OT intervention in a timely manner. Better methods for triage and increased resource allocation are needed.
