multicontext treatment approach FOR
RESTORATION of cognitive and/or perceptual skills affecting ability to learn and engage in occupation
neurofunctional approach FOR
repetitive task-specific training after severe brain injury
- think ACL
behavioral and cognitive behavioral approach FOR
changing measurable behaviors in clients with developmental disabilities or brain injury
cognitive disability approach FOR
matching activity to cognitive level after brain injury
sensorimotor approach FOR
repetition of motor patterns to improve performance
motor learning approach FOR
retraining to improve movement
stages of adjustments: defensive coping
- defensive A - healthy: learns to function with disability; “i’ll go on in spite of it”; internal LOC
- defensive B - pathologic: negative reaction; denial; dependence/ passivity; loss of motivation; external LOC
stages of adjustment: adjustment
“it is different, but not bad”
- don’t rush this process; to help client reach adjustment; identify defense mechanisms; coping strategies (how did a person formerly react to stress and utilize)
- shock
- expectancy of recovery
- may need to fail to gain insight
- move from remediation to compensation
- mourning
key concepts of disability rights
- Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA)
- Healthy People 2030
- Health Disparities
HOLISTIC vs. REDUCTIONISTIC
- considering, treating, and recognizing the person as a WHOLE
- treating an individual based off a specific condition - not taking the rest of the body, conditions, or opinions into consideration
apparent acceptance
not true acceptance; done out of duty or pity
societal response to disability
- brave and inspiring!
- blind have “sharpened senses”
- minority group status (superior - inferior relationship)
- patient is “difficult”
spread factor
the evaluation of visible disability is “spread” to other characteristics that are not affected
- ex. speaking loudly to the blind
adjustments to disability (5)
- physical adjustment
- change sequence, timing, or method of task
- psychological and emotional adjustment
- stages of grieving
- social adjustment
- accommodation vs. inclusion, transitions, support
- changing roles and routines
- financial adjustment
settings (5)
- acute hospital
- adaptations and training
- rehabilitation hospital
- training transfers, further AE
- home health
- transfers and application to real setting
- outpatient clinic
- more task specific after improvement (cooking, rolling in bed w/ LE dressing)
- SNF
education vs. training
E: enhanced understanding; conveying information
T: enhanced performance; teaching skills
- clients are more likely to remember what they learned if they are trained; clients need the opportunity to practice what they learn with the OTA
MULTIdisciplinary
various professionals from different disciplines who each provide their own healthcare service to the client
- clients can feel overwhelmed by services and by conflicting/ same goals due to a lack of communication
- does not primarily focus on the WHOLE as each discipline works on “each part”
INTERdisciplinary
members who work in the same setting, sharing information formally and informally, and team meetings serve as a connection point to systematically coordinate efforts to solve problems as they relate to each discipline
- collaboration-focused on common goals
- difficulty with logistics of meeting times
- each member must be willing to alter their own plan
TRANSdisciplinary
members train one another in aspects of their discipline and fill another’s role when necessary; lines blurred between professions
- less stress of services for the client
nosocomial infection
an infection that occurs within the hospital
- MRSA
- VRE
- C-Diff
universal/ standard precautions
- wash hands before and after every pt
- wear gloves when there is a chance of contact with fluid
- wear mask, eyewear, and gown if there is a change of spraying fluids
- report any exposures (needle sticks, blood splashes)
- clean/ disinfect surfaces
isolation airborne precautions
- negative pressure air flow
- OTA wear special respirator and gown
- surgical mask on pt when moved
