5. Rood approach
Rood approach was first introduced by Margaret Rood in the 1950’s which become center of origins for many facilitation techniques used in this century. This approach came from the reflex of motor control, also it builds up an arrangement of helpful activities to enhance cutaneous incitement for patients who have neuromuscular dysfunctions adjacent to proprioceptive manoeuvers like situating, joint pressure, joint distraction and the general utilization of reflexes, extend, and protection. The best accentuation is given on interceptive applications, for example, tapping, stroking, brushing, icing, warmth, weight, and vibration to fulfill ideal solid activity.

Task-oriented approach
Task-oriented approach is often suggested as a preferred neurorehabilitation intervention to enhance the work by polishing motor behavior. This approach is based on system model of motor behavior and environment factors on motor performance. Task oriented approach patients is mainly having neurological conditions like a cerebral vascular accident and traumatic brain injury which result to shifts in multiple body function such as mental, sensory, and neuromusculoskeletal and movement-related functions.
Task-oriented approach uses a top-down, client-centered, and occupation-focused approach to evaluation and treatment. The evaluation process starts with the decision of role performance and occupational performance. Then the therapist detects the patient performing challenging and meaningful tasks, and determines the patterns that can be stable.
The therapist identifies the crucial person factors that intrude with task performance which known as control parameters, control parameters are personal or environmental variables that are reflection to constrain movement into desirable patterns and have the potential to shift behavior to a new pattern. For example, therapists observe client and identify the following control parameters such as amount of trunk support, level of attention to tasks, amount of energy, and incorporation of right hand, all of control parameters referred to assessment
When moving and positioning an individual it is important to ensure they are not moved more than their body is capable of, as muscles can only move bones at the joint as far as the joint allows. It is also important to move and handle correctly to ensure nerve fibres are not damaged as they are delicate structures and also important as they send impulses to muscles which enables the muscles to contract and relax. When an individual is moved and positioned it is important this happens smoothly. Sudden movements or pulling in any direction of an individual’s limbs or
The key concepts of a cognitive behavioral approach have been broken down into a four-stage process. According to Corey (2016), “the specific unique characteristics of behavior therapy include conducting a behavioral assessment, precisely spelling out collaborative treatment goals, formulating a specific treatment procedure appropriate to a particular problem, and objectively evaluating the outcomes of therapy” (p. 349). The behavioral assessment is aimed at gathering as much detailed information about the client’s problem. This part of the process will also focus on the client’s current functioning and life conditions and taking samples of his or her behaviors to provide information about how the client typically functions in various situations. Lastly, the behavioral assessment is narrowly focused and integrated with therapy.
This article takes a perspective of the patient approach, in how ultimately long term their health in their hands. How the physical therapists are there to guide and make small corrections,
The task-centered model was developed by William Reid and Laura Epstein with the goal to implement an effective short-term intervention that focuses on resolving psychosocial problems that the client has identified as the main tasks of the intervention. The task centered model emphasizes on helping clients develop and achieve desire tasks or actions to alleviate their problems and identifies clients as the primary agents of change. Its theoretical framework has been influenced by learning theory, Perlman’s problem solving approach, and behavioral
Occupational Therapy is a growing field; one that is constantly changing as technology becomes more advanced. There are different techniques and methods used in this field, as well as the field of physical therapy, in order assist in client advancement and growth. The traditional method being discussed is Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation also known as PNF and the contemporary technique is Kinesio Taping. These techniques and methods came about for the same purpose, and that is to ultimately help both the Practitioners and of course clients they work with.
Skilled movements are the second focus area in kinesiology. It involves presentations where accuracy of direction,
The biomechanical approach assumes that the client has the capacity for voluntary control of the body (muscle control) and mind (motivation). It is anatomy and physiology that determines normal function, and humans are biomechanical beings whose range of motion (ROM), strength, and endurance have physiological and kinetic potential as well as role relevant behaviors. The biomechanical frame of reference is a key reference to use in conjunction with various others in enabling OT to access and identify a client’s occupational performance within the various activities of daily living. It is important when taking a holistic approach to practice, as
Theory is defined as a description of a set of phenomena and the relationships among the concepts. A frame of reference are theories that is used as the foundation for developing guidelines for practice that assist therapist with clinical reasoning related to the evaluation and treatment of a specific problems (Mosey.1996). The model practice provides a framework with which a therapist is able to make clinical decisions based on a scientific theoretical foundation such as anatomy and physiology an example is the biomechanical guideline that based on anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology. Guidelines for practice are not diagnosis specific, but rather are address problems that people with a variety of diagnoses may experience.
This papers purpose is to describe to the reader an Occupational therapy treatment plan and therapy session using the OTPF as its base to describe client’s performance. It is based off a case study of a 26 year old male racecar driver who suffered a traumatic brain injury and is now admitted into the hospitals ICU unit under a coma. The paper begins with a brief overview of the clients Injuries and occupational profile. It continues with goals that the therapist has set for the client and caregivers and concludes with the client’s treatment plan, along with a SOAP note which explains the client’s treatment and gives other healthcare workers information about the therapists goals and progress of the client

The development of the “ Brains Program was guided by evidence based research and collaboration with various hospitals. Due to the short time frame and multidisciplinary input required, an Occupational Therapy model of practice was not considered by the OT’s at South West Health Care. However, The Person-Occupation- Environment -Performance (PEOP) model is applicable when selecting patients to participate in the “Active Brains Group” (Baum & Christiansen., 2005). The PEOP model takes into account both intrinsic and extrinsic factors as well as a persons performance ability whilst completing the occupational task. (Hoffman, Bennett & Del Mar., 2010). This allows for a holistic view of the person and their functional abilities (Hoffman, Bennett
The interventions that I observed was the use of contrast bath for the Chronic Regional pain, E-stim, Ultrasound, hot packs for the pain management as well as to decrease the stiffness and swelling. The activity that I observed were ROM arc to increase movement in the bilateral upper extremities, sand box to increase core strength, Theraputty, peg boards, cognition pattern puzzles, visual perception puzzles, arm bike (rollator), bolts and screw for fine motor coordination, mini mental test to intact orientation as well as memory. I observed how therapist were teaching the patients to increase independence while transferring from bed to wheelchair to commode. I observed the use of adaptive devices to make the patient as functional as possible with their daily activities such as long handled shower brush, Reacher, sock aid, leg lifter, adaptive heavy weighted utensils and many
Stroke is a leading cause of adult disability and patients face multiple challenges, such as weakness/paralysis on one side of the body, social disability, inability to walk and self-care, the decline in community participation, and the decline in cognitive and emotional functioning. These challenges impede them from independently performing their daily activities related to work, school, parenting, or leisure. Evidence Based Practice shows that the best way to treat individuals with stroke is through the use of the mental practice. Mental practice is a training method during which a person cognitively rehearses a physical skill in the absence of overt, physical movements for the purpose of enhancing motor skill performance. It is a practice
"The purpose of Goal setting is to operationally define the specific desired outcomes and describe the factors involved in achieving the outcome" (Julia Bowman and Lise. L. Mogensen, 2010, p.100). Goals can be split up into two different types. A Short term goal "is the pathway leading up to the long term goal" (Julia Bowman and Lise. L. Mogensen, 2010, p.100). Long term goals "have been described as the destination of therapy" (Julia Bowman and Lise. L. Mogensen, 2010, p.100). For therapists the long term goal is how far the client wants to improve; if it is being fully independent, being able to do the cleaning, the long term goal would be set to get them to that place. However, if the client is not reaching their goals, this is when grading comes to place. "Grading is the modification of an activity to support the client's performance" (Bridgett,2011, OT A-Z: G is for Grading). Grading is all about adjusting the goal to make it easier or harder for the client. If the client was about to do their goal very quickly you would change their goal to make it harder for them; thus they can work towards a new goal. The occupation performance model looks at what makes the person be able to do or not do the task. With this the therapist will write down what is preventing the client from reaching their
• Behavior change – behavior change focuses on a behavioral assessment, targeting behavior changes and improving them. Unique skills are needed for building, teaching, understanding and organizing behavior assessment. Therapist focus is communication, resolving conflict and promoting positive behavior reinforcement assisting with any needed trainings, information and programs surrounding this therapy. Therapist will tend to any specific needs and abilities of
