Abstract:
PF is one of the most common foot and ankle problems. People with PF experience mild to severe pain that interferes moderately with activities of daily living (ADL). Due to chronic pain that interferes with ADL, people with PF often use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and/or acetaminophen. These medications alleviate pain but cannot eliminate it. Additionally, with chronic use, these medications can cause well-known adverse side effects. The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of Korean Hand Therapy (KHT) in (1) treating the pain experienced in patients with plantar fasciitis (PF), (2) evaluating its impact on functionality, and (3) assessing participants' self-adherence to treatment. A pre-post mixed methods pilot study was conducted with 28 participants. Baseline measures included a demographic questionnaire, height and weight, a 10-point pain scale, the foot function index (FFI), and measurement of the plantar fascia via ultrasound. As a group, participants were taught about KHT and how to self-administer it. Participants then self-administered KHT for four weeks. Three weekly electronic surveys were sent asking participants about their pain and use of KHT. After four weeks, participants returned for final data collection, including a focus group. Baseline measures, except the demographic questionnaire and height and weight, were repeated. Thickness of PF was not correlated with pain at baseline (r = -0.14, p = 0.47). Compared to baseline, pain was significantly reduced after the initial KHT treatment on the first visit (4.875 vs 2.625, p < 0.00) and at the 4-week follow up (4.875 vs 2.528, p < 0.05). On average for all four weeks, participants reported 5.48 (SD 1.50) days of self-guided KHT per week. PF thickness was not significantly reduced at the follow up session at 4 weeks (t =1.16, p = 0.26). FFI scores were significantly improved between baseline and four weeks: Pain (t = 3.80, p < 0.00), Activity Limitation (t = 2.64, p = 0.02), and Disability (t = 4.74, p < 0.00) and overall FFI (t = 4.83, p < 0.00). Findings suggest KHT may reduce pain and increase functionality for people who experience PF. While the sample was small, KHT is low-risk, low-cost, and easily self-administered. Further investigation is needed on the long-term effects of KHT and its ability to generally alleviate all types of pain.

Abstract:
Magister Scientiae (Occupational Therapy) - MSc(OT)
Occupation-based hand therapy (OBHT) is an approach to practice that integrates multiple frames of reference while remaining rooted in an occupational therapy perspective. Hand function is important for participation in daily occupations. The current focus in assessment and treatment of clients in occupational therapy remains on body structure and function which is also true in South Africa. The gap in the literature about the effects of OBHT indicates that there is a need for a study in a South African context. This research was conducted to examine the influences of an OBHT among clients with hand injuries within occupational therapy practice in a South African context.

Yancosek, Kathleen E. "INJURY-INDUCED HAND DOMINANCE TRANSFER." UKnowledge, 2010. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/gradschool_diss/18.

Full text
Abstract:
Hand dominance is the preferential use of one hand over the other for motor tasks. 90% of people are right-hand dominant, and the majority of injuries (acute and cumulative trauma) occur to the dominant limb, creating a double-impact injury whereby a person is left in a functional state of single-handedness and must rely on the less-dexterous, non-dominant hand. When loss of dominant hand function is permanent, a forced shift of dominance is termed injury-induced hand dominance transfer (I-IHDT). Military service members injured in combat operation may face I-IHDT following mutilating injuries (crush, avulsion, burn and blast wounds) that result in dominant limb amputation or limb salvage. Military occupational therapy practitioners utilize an intervention called Handwriting For Heroes to facilitate hand dominance transfer. This intervention trains the injured military member how to write again using the previously non-dominant hand. Efficacy and clinical effectiveness studies were needed to validate the use of this intervention. This dissertation contains three studies related to I-IHDT. One study measured handwriting performance in adults who previously (greater than 2 years ago) lost function of their dominant hands. Results verified that handwriting performance, when measured on two separate occasions (six-weeks apart) was similar (stable). A second study examined the efficacy of Handwriting For Heroes in non-impaired participants. Results demonstrated a positive effect on the variables that measured the written product: legibility, writing speed (letters-per-minute); as well as a positive effect on the variables that measured the writing process: kinematic and kinetic parameters. The final study examined the clinical effectiveness of Handwriting For Heroes in an injured military population. Results did not show as positive results as the efficacy study, despite similar compliance with the intervention. Specifically, non-impaired participants started with faster writing speeds in their non-dominant hands (higher letters-per-minute) and made more gains (wider ranges). The non-impaired participants also started with faster dexterity (betters scores on the Grooved Pegboard) but they made fewer gains than the injured service members (smaller ranges). Nevertheless, injured participants clearly made gains in all dependent variables thereby demonstrating clinical effectiveness of the intervention

Augustus, Devon Patrick. "Navy SEAL Prosthetic Hand." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2013. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/998.

Full text
Abstract:
Prosthetic development recently has focused mainly on myoelectrically controlled electric hands despite a majority of upper extremity amputees actively choosing body powered devices. Myoelectric hands utilize a small electric pulse generated in muscles when flexing as a signal to the hand to close. Finger flexion in these devices is controlled by electromechanical servos, requiring no strength input from the user. Body powered devices use a cable attached to a shoulder harness which causes mechanical closure of the device via tension placed on a control cable by a shoulder shrug motion or arm extension. Outfitting of active duty service personnel has recently tended to follow the electronic hands which have fragile electronics, have a poor response to user input, and are not fit for harsh outdoor environments. This report will detail the current development of a re-design of a custom left hand prosthesis for an active duty Navy SEAL and the transition from electronic controls to full body power function.

Abstract:
Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att sammanställa och beskriva arbetsterapeutiska interventioner vid hand-och arm träning för vuxna män och kvinnor med stroke, samt att undersöka interventionernas effekt och studiernas beviskraft. Metod: Datainsamling utfördes via litteratursökning i fyra databaser inom hälsa och medicin. Inklusionskriterier och kvalitetsgranskning resulterade i att 13 kvantitativa studier inkluderades. Analysen genomfördes via kvalitetsgranskning av valda studier samt en kvalitativ sammanställning. Vidare inspirerades författarna av Fisher och Marterellas (2019) interventions former. Resultat: Resultatetredovisas i två delar. I den första delen presenteras de olika interventionsformerna som erbjuds vuxna personer med stroke. Utifrån inspirationen av Fisher och Marterella (2019) framkom fem kategorier, Interventioner med fokus på att återfå eller upprätthålla förmågor, Interventioner med fokus på stärkande aktiviteter, Interventioner som simulerar en aktivitet, Träning i motorisk funktion och Stimulerande interventioner.Interventioner med fokus på stärkande aktiviteter förekom i samtliga analyserade studier. Den andra delen beskriver effekten av interventionerna och bevisvärde i studierna. Resultatet visade att flertalet av studiernas interventioner bidrog till förbättringar med avseende på motoriska funktioner och förmågor hos klienter med stroke. Dock framkom det att vidare forskning på interventionerna behövs för att tydliggöra resultatet ytterligare. Slutsats: Resultatet visade att interventioner relaterade till att förbättra motorisk funktion och förmåga efter stroke påvisade positiva resultat både i termer av upplevd motorisk funktion och förmåga att utföra aktiviteter. Dock återfanns begränsat med forskning som undersökt teknisk utrustning och tekniska hjälpmedel och dess effekt för vuxna personermed stroke. Slutligen visade litteraturöversikten att det finns behov av ytterligare forskning på interventioner förenande med teknik och hjälpmedel då det i dagsläget fanns relativt små studier inom det området.

Abstract:
South Africa is one of the most violent nations in the world and has an extremely high incidence of road accidents and work place injuries. The precise effect of this on upper limb injury statistics is not known as the incidence and prevalence of these conditions has yet to be determined. Hand injuries are, however, common worldwide and, in South Africa, may be complex in nature. This places a demand on occupational therapy services to provide comprehensive upper limb rehabilitation, a responsibility that inevitably falls on novice occupational therapists at some point. Occupational therapists in South Africa are required to complete a year of compulsory Community Service after graduating before they are permitted to practice independently. These placements are often in rural, under-resourced areas and graduates are faced with multiple new roles while negotiating the transition into practice. No published research to date has described the general experience of Community Service occupational therapists in South Africa or the extent to which these therapists are equipped to treat patients with upper limb injuries and conditions. The study sought to determine the extent to which Community Service occupational therapists are equipped to treat patients with upper limb injuries and conditions.

Abstract:
Despite lack of scientific evidence, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2) has been used as a treatment for children with cerebral palsy (CP). Recently, a multi-centre randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed the efficacy of HBO2 therapy for children with CP. Using the same cohort, the purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of HBO2 therapy on hand function using the Jebsen-Taylor test. All children received 40 treatments over a 2-month period. HBO2 treatments were 60 minutes with 100% O2 at 1.75 atmospheres absolute (ATA). Placebo treatments were also 60 minutes with air (21% O2) at 1.3 ATA. Seventy-eight children with CP, aged 3--12 years completed pre and post hand function assessments. Hand function was evaluated using one quantitative measure (time) and three qualitative measures. There were no significant changes between baseline and follow-up tests for any of the measures, although both experimental and control groups improved ( p = 0.08) their total times for the Jebsen test. The HBO2 group improved by 54.5 seconds (8.8%) while the placebo group improved by 47.8 seconds (7.7%). The results indicate that HBO2 therapy did not enhance the hand function of children with CP.

Full text
Abstract:
A prototype of a pneumatic device for rehabilitation of the hand was designed, built and tested. Progressive impairment of hand function may result from a prolonged condition of hemiparesis, such as resulting from stroke. Reduced daily use of the affected limb, spasticity and contracture contribute to progressive impairment. Physical therapy attenuates the impairment in many patients, but regular sessions of physical therapy are difficult to maintain due to the associated costs, limited insurance coverage, and necessity of being at the clinic for each session. Systems or devices suitable for home-based therapy sessions would widen the accessibility of physical therapy to more patients. However, reported therapeutic systems appear to be expensive, heavy and complicated, thus limiting their suitability for widespread application in home settings. Recent reports of pneumatic based hand therapy systems suggest a platform for hand rehabilitation that would be simpler, lighter, less expensive, and have a lower risk of safety concerns. The design utilized in this project has the affected hand encased in a glove apparatus that has an embedded air bladder positioned ventral to each of the five digits on the palmer side of the hand, such that the bladder acts to assist extension of each finger and thumb as internal air pressure increases. Several alternative designs of glove-bladder combinations were designed, fabricated and tested. An electro-pneumatic regulator (SMC Corp. of America, Noblesville, IN) controlled the pressure of air to the bladders from an air compressor. The pneumatic regulator was controlled by a custom designed and assembled microcontroller (Arduino, open source) based control system. The microcontroller controlled solenoids that functioned as valves for the passage of air to the bladders from the pneumatic regulator, one solenoid for each of the 5 bladders in a glove. Tests were done to compare alternative glove-bladder designs. For a bladder corresponding to one digit, the relations between air pressure and the resulting torque were explored using a system of weights. Moreover, for constant pressure levels, the relations between angle of a digit and torque were explored. The pneumatic hand rehabilitation system developed in this project shows promise toward development of pneumatic hand therapy systems that would be suitable for home-based therapy.

Abstract:
Stroke can result in Hemiparesis, often resulting in the disuse of impaired limbs and the increased use of the unimpaired limbs. Disuse leads to muscle atrophy, contracture and stiffening of the joints, which impedes daily living and quality of life. Physical therapy can maintain or increase motor function following stroke, but the impaired limb may still have less motor function than the unimpaired limb, leading to further disuse. Thus negating the gains accomplished by therapy. The development of devices that assist motor function of the impaired limbs during daily activities would promote use and help maintain any progress from physical therapy. Automated motion assistance can overcome spasticity by allowing a user to perform a specific task multiple times, thus reducing the stiffness developed in the fingers. The purpose of this study was to develop prototype modules of a glove-like system for hand grasping assistance. The full system could be used during therapy sessions or worn to assist with activities of daily living. The force sensors positioned in the glove on the front and back of each fingertip would be used to determine whether an attempt is being made to grasp or to let go of an object. The system controls motors that wind or unwind cables that run along the forearm and connect independently to the glove for each finger. The modules were designed and assembled for testing. A simulation model was built for analysis. The early results appear promising, but further testing will be required to make developments toward the full system to assist with hand motor function.

The classical therapy over the past 50 years has been to insulate the hand from potential injury in a cradle of bandages. This method was originally introduced because movement of the hand following surgery was felt to result in failures of the repaired tendons which have a very limited strength. The subsequent stiffening of the joints, and reduction in the gliding action of tendons is exacerbated by the swelling and inflammatory processes resulting from the surgery. In recent years, a new post-surgical therapy has been introduced that dramatically improves the range of motion and reduces the time to clinical release of the patient. This procedure is similar to that used prior to the current conservative therapy, but better analytical methods have allowed restrictions to be imposed on the active motion of the hand following surgery. The force analysis that has led to new guidelines for post-surgical hand therapy for flexor tendons is presented here. A graphical user interface is also presented which allows the user to study various external force loadings and obtain rapid feedback on the resulting tendon forces at user-defined joint angles. This is shown in Figure 1.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: Do patients with inflammatory bowel disease and treated with any anti-TNFα drug who had the HLA-DQA1*05 allele (in heterozygosis or homozygosis) have lower response or persistence to those drugs than patients without HLA-DQA1*05 allele? Condition being studied: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which includes Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a chronic inflammatory condition that may affect any part of the digestive tract (CD) or be limited to the colon (UC). While the specific aetiology of IBD remains unknown, it is believed to involve a complex impairment in the immunity of the gut mucosa due to a combination of several genetic and environmental factors, being the microbiota one of the latest that more attraction has received in recent years. Symptoms of IBD (such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, fever, tiredness or rectal bleeding) may be either constant or alternate between periods of limited disease activity and flares with remarkable presence of symptoms. As IBD is associated with significant morbidity and disability, pharmacological treatment is required in most cases, especially in CD, aimed at reducing the inflammatory response and attenuating the activity of the immune system. In the moderate and severe forms of the disease, therapy is usually based on immunosuppressant and/or biological drugs. Among the latest, anti-TNFα drugs (infliximab or adalimumab) are normally chosen as the initial biological therapy.

Abstract:
Objectives. To evaluate the effectiveness and comparative effectiveness of opioid, nonopioid pharmacologic, and nonpharmacologic therapy in patients with specific types of acute pain, including effects on pain, function, quality of life, adverse events, and long-term use of opioids. Data sources. Electronic databases (Ovid® MEDLINE®, PsycINFO®, Embase®, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) to August 2020, reference lists, and a Federal Register notice. Review methods. Using predefined criteria and dual review, we selected randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of outpatient therapies for eight acute pain conditions: low back pain, neck pain, other musculoskeletal pain, neuropathic pain, postoperative pain following discharge, dental pain (surgical or nonsurgical), pain due to kidney stones, and pain due to sickle cell disease. Meta-analyses were conducted on pharmacologic therapy for dental pain and kidney stone pain, and likelihood of repeat or rescue medication use and adverse events. The magnitude of effects was classified as small, moderate, or large using previously defined criteria, and strength of evidence was assessed. Results. One hundred eighty-three RCTs on the comparative effectiveness of therapies for acute pain were included. Opioid therapy was probably less effective than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for surgical dental pain and kidney stones, and might be similarly effective as NSAIDs for low back pain. Opioids and NSAIDs were more effective than acetaminophen for surgical dental pain, but opioids were less effective than acetaminophen for kidney stone pain. For postoperative pain, opioids were associated with increased likelihood of repeat or rescue analgesic use, but effects on pain intensity were inconsistent. Being prescribed an opioid for acute low back pain or postoperative pain was associated with increased likelihood of use of opioids at long-term followup versus not being prescribed, based on observational studies. Heat therapy was probably effective for acute low back pain, spinal manipulation might be effective for acute back pain with radiculopathy, acupressure might be effective for acute musculoskeletal pain, an opioid might be effective for acute neuropathic pain, massage might be effective for some types of postoperative pain, and a cervical collar or exercise might be effective for acute neck pain with radiculopathy. Most studies had methodological limitations. Effect sizes were primarily small to moderate for pain, the most commonly evaluated outcome. Opioids were associated with increased risk of short-term adverse events versus NSAIDs or acetaminophen, including any adverse event, nausea, dizziness, and somnolence. Serious adverse events were uncommon for all interventions, but studies were not designed to assess risk of overdose, opioid use disorder, or long-term harms. Evidence on how benefits or harms varied in subgroups was lacking. Conclusions. Opioid therapy was associated with decreased or similar effectiveness as an NSAID for some acute pain conditions, but with increased risk of short-term adverse events. Evidence on nonpharmacological therapies was limited, but heat therapy, spinal manipulation, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, a cervical collar, and exercise were effective for specific acute pain conditions. Research is needed to determine the comparative effectiveness of therapies for sickle cell pain, acute neuropathic pain, neck pain, and management of postoperative pain following discharge; effects of therapies for acute pain on non-pain outcomes; effects of therapies on long-term outcomes, including long-term opioid use; and how benefits and harms of therapies vary in subgroups.

Abstract:
An analytical model and a field experiment in Argentina proved that salient enforcement messages on one type of tax could increase compliance with another tax. Salient messages of penalties and enforcement for the property tax had positive spillover effects on declaration of the gross sales tax, with taxpayers in the treatment group increasing their reported tax by 2 percent. Taxpayers appear to assume that higher enforcement of one tax implies higher enforcement for others, thereby increasing their compliance across taxes.
