week 1 Flashcards
Occupational Therapy Practice Framework
Provides the occupational therapy domain
Outlines the occupational therapy process
Fit with the International classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF)
Occupational therapy domain
areas of occupation, performance skills, performance patterns, contexts, activity demands, client factors
areas of occupation
ADLS, IADLS, Education, work, play, leisure, social participation,
context
cultural, physical, social, personal, spiritual, temporal, virtual
activity demands
objects used and their properties, space demands, social demands, sequencing and timing, required actions, required, body functions, required body structures
examples to assess areas of occupation
COPM FIM Kohlman Evaluation of living skills Interview Milwaukee Evaluation of daily living skills Observation
Performance Skills
Motor skills- reaching, manipulating, pacing, rolling, standing sitting
Process skills-sequencing steps, staying on task, modifying performance when there is a problem
Communication/interaction skills- conversations, gestures, inhibiting behaviors, displaying emotions
examples of ways to assess performance skills
Observations during tasks
Jebsen hand function test
Test of visual motor skills
Assessment of motor process skills (AMPS)
Performance patterns
Habits
Routines
Roles
examples of ways to assess performance patters
Interview
Role checklist
Structured questions
National institutes of health activity record
Client factors
Body functions
Body structures
Values, beliefs and
spirituality-
Some information is usually found in the patients chart (BP, respitory function)
Muscle tone, reflexes, pain, voluntary/involuntary movement
Strength, ROM, visual acuity, attention
Therapists have a knowledge of these functions and may specialize in evaluation and intervention in an area
Ex. wounds
Models of practice in physical disabilities
Models provide a framework used to guide the process of Occupational Therapy
Used to guide practice in conjunction with OTPF
Provides organization and structure to the OT process
Rehabilitation model
After WWII
Aligned with the medical model
Rehabilitation of disability
Patient is a passive participant
Social model
Disability rights movement
Self-advocacy-Client is at the center of the model = expert
Disability due to environment not function
Bridging medical and social model
Client-centered (collaborative)
Evidenced-based (use of the current best evidence)
Occupation-focused (meaningful occupations selected by the patient)
Culturally relevant (to the patient)
Occupational Functioning Model (OFM)
Participating in life roles brings a sense of self-efficacy and self-esteem
Goal of OFM is engagement in life roles
The assumption that ones ability to perform in life roles (areas of occupation) is based upon basic abilities and capacities (performance skills)
Top down approach (observation of performance)
Evaluation (activity analysis)
Intervention
Adaptive therapy- balance between goals and abilities
Optimize abilities and capacities
Occupational activities and adjunct therapies are used
Environment can promote or hinder functioning
Frames of Reference
Used to link theory to intervention strategies
Used to apply clinical reasoning to intervention methods
More narrow view then model of practice
Not used as a protocol but a way to structure interventions
May use numerous FOR treating a patient
Select a FOR that meets patients goals
Biomechanical
Improvement of occupational performance
Restore function
Strengthening, exercises, splinting etc.
Rehabilitation
Return to the fullest function possible
Modification strategies
Use of adaptive devices, equipment, technology etc.
