Q

Arnadottir OT Neurobehavioral Evaluation (A-ONE)

A

Use with adults presenting with cognitive/perceptual (neurobehavioral)deficits by evaluators who’ve completed A-ONE training. Structured observations of BADL and mobility skills are performed to detect underlying neurobehavioral dysfunction. A system of error analysis is utilized to document the underlying performance components (neglect, spatial dysfunction, body scheme disorder, apraxia) that have direct impact on daily living skills.
Scoring: Functional Independence Scale 0=unable to 4= independent; Neurobehavioral Specific Impairment Scale with 0= no problem to 4= unable to perform.

Used for patients with memory dysfunction; offers initial eval of person’s memory function; indicates appropriate tx areas; monitors memory skills throughout the rehab program; contains 11 categories with 9 subtests. Score: 0-9= severely impaired memory; 10-16= mod impaired memory; 17-21= poor memory; 22-24=normal

26
Q

Rivermead Perceptual Assessment Battery

A

For patients age 16+ who are experiencing visual-perceptual deficits after head injury or stroke; consists of 16 performance tests that assess form and color constancy, object completion, figure-ground, body image, inattention, and spatial awareness. Utilizes deficit-specific tasks in isolation from aDL tasks; scoring based on accuracy of task completion and the time taken to complete each task.

27
Q

Cognitive-Perceptual Intervention:

Remedial/Restorative/Transfer of Training Approach

A
  • focuses on restoration of components to increase skill
  • deficit specific
  • targets cause of symptoms
  • emphasizes performance components
  • assumes improvements in performance components will result in increased skill
  • assumes the cerebral cortex is malleable and can reorganize
  • utilizes tabletop and computer activities (example: memory drills, block designs) as tx modalities.
28
Q

Cognitive-Perceptual Intervention:

Compensatory/Adaptive/Functional Approach

A
  • involves repetitive practice of functional tasks
  • emphasizes modification. (example: modifying clothing closures by using Velcro instead of buttons)
  • activity choice driven by tasks the person needs/wants to perform.
  • emphasizes intact skill training
  • treats symptoms, no cause
  • utilizes techniques of environmental adaptation (example: list of morning routine activities for person with memory loss).
  • use of compensatory cognitive strategies requires a level of awareness of deficits.
  • enviro modifications may be caregiver driven.
  • tx is task specific
  • utilizes functional tasks that patient wants/needs to do.
29
Q

Cognitive-Perceptual Intervention:

Information Processing Approach

A
  • provides info on how the patient approaches the task
  • investigates how performance changes with cueing
  • standardized cues are given to determine their effect on performance (example: “try re-reading the recipe”)
  • cues or feedback are utilized to draw attention to relevant features of the task
  • investigative questions (example: “why do you think it took so long to get dressed?”)
30
Q

Cognitive-Perceptual Intervention:

Dynamic Interactional Approach

A
  • emphasizes transfer of info from one situation to next
  • utilizes varying tx enviros
  • practice of targeted strategy with varied tasks/situations
  • emphasizes metcognitive skills (ex. self-awareness of deficits) as basis of learning and generalization of learning
  • transfer of learning must be taught- not automatic; occurs through graded series of tasks that decrease in similarity
  • person’s processing abilities and self-monitoring techniques are used to facilitate learning for different tasks/enviros
  • OT utilizes awareness questioning to help the patient detect errors and predict outcomes.
31
Q

Cognitive-Perceptual Intervention:

The Quadraphonic Approach

A
  • based on remediation; and information processing theory and teaching/learning theory.
  • micro-perspective includes eval of management of performance component subskills such as attention, memory, motor planning, postural control, and problem solving.
  • macro-perspective eval includes use of narratives, interview, occupations.
  • makes use of several theories (info processing, teaching/learning eval; neurodevelopmental eval; biomechanical eval).
32
Q

Cognitive-Perceptual Intervention:

Neurofunctional Approach

A
  • based on learning theory
  • specifically used for patient’s with acquired neurological impairments
  • focuses on retraining real world skills rather than cognitive-perceptual processes
  • utilizes an overall adaptive approach but incorporates some remediation components
  • tx focused on training specific functional skills in true contexts.
33
Q

Cognitive-Perceptual Intervention:

Cognitive Disabilities Model

A
  • originally developed for use with patients with psychosocial dysfunction; currently also used with patient with neurologic dysfunction and dementia
  • describes cognitive function on continuum from level 1 (profoundly impaired) to level 6 (normal).
  • each level describes the extent of person’s disability and difficulty in performing occupations
  • after level has been established, routine tasks are presented that the person can perform or that have been adapted to he can perform them
  • focus is placed on adaptive approaches and strengthening residual abilities
34
Q

Intervention strategies for impaired alertness or arousal

A
  • increase enviro stimuli
  • use gross motor activities
  • increase sensory stimuli
35
Q

Intervention strategies for motor-ideomotor apraxia

A
  • utilize general verbal cues as opposed to specific.
  • decrease manipulation demands
  • provide hand over hand tactile-kinesthetic input
  • utilize visual cues
36
Q

Intervention strategies for ideational apraxia

A
  • provide step by step instructions
  • use hand over hand guiding techniques
  • provide opportunities for motor planning and motor execution
37
Q

Intervention strategies for perseveration

A
  • bring perseveration to a conscious level and train the person to inhibit the behavior
  • redirect attention
  • engage the person in tasks that require repetitive action
38
Q

Intervention strategies for spatial neglect

A
  • provide graded scanning activities
  • grade activities from simple to complex
  • use anchoring techniques to compensate (ex: a strip of red tape placed on the left side of sink to draw attention to left hemi-field)
  • utilize manipulative tasks in conjunction with scanning activities
  • use external cues (ex. colored markers; written directions
39
Q

Intervention strategies for body neglect

A
  • provide bilateral activities
  • guide the affected side through the activity
  • increase sensory stimulation to the affected side
40
Q

Intervention strategies for aphasia

A
  • decrease external auditory stimuli
  • give the person increased response time
  • use visual cues and gestures
  • use concise sentences
  • investigate the use of augmentative communication devices
41
Q

Intervention strategies for sequencing and organization deficits

A
  • use external cues (written directions, daily planners)

- grade tasks that are increasingly complex in terms of number of steps required

42
Q

Intervention strategies for spatial relations dysfunction

A
  • utilize activities that challenge underlying spatial skills (ex: orienting clothing to your body during dressing, wrapping a gift, making a bed.)
  • utilize tasks that require discrimination of right/left (ex. use cues like “dress your left arm first”)

Q

Intervention strategies for memory loss

A
  • use rehearsal strategies
  • “chunk” information
  • utilize memory aids
  • utilize “temporal tags”, focusing on when the event to be remembered occurred
