occupation
|
life roles that are important to the individual patient or client
|
|
areas of occupation
|
functional life activities that is classified by performance in eight areas:
ADLs, IADLs, rest and sleep, education, work, play, leisure, and social participation |
|
performance skills
|
building blocks of performance in occupation:
sensory perceptual skills, motor and praxis skills, emotional regulation skills, cognitive skills, communication and social skills |
|
performance patterns
|
these help to make performance more automatic and thus less demanding of conscious attention:
habits, routines, roles, rituals |
|
context and environment
|
means weave together and is the background into which something is interwoven. supplies the background and often the meaning of the activity-how and why it is performed:
cultural, personal, physical, social, temporal, virtual. |
|
activity demands
|
takes into account all the parameters of a specific activity:
objects used and their properties, space demands, social demands, sequencing and timing. required actions, required body functions, required body structureps |
|
client factors
|
physical dysfunction is associated with changes in body functions and/or structures:
values, beliefs, and spirituality, body functions, and body structures. |
|
values, beliefs, and spirituality
|
These elements can strongly influence the rehabilitation process.
examples: honesty. each person has responsibility to others. search for meaning and purpose beyond self. |
|
body functions and body structures
|
space and timing of activities may present challenges to persons with physical disabilities affecting what?
these are part of the client factor aspect of OT's domain. |
|
models
|
OT practitioners use these to structure their thinking about practice situations?
|
|
practice model
|
"frame of reference" or "theory"
|
|
systems model
|
the model of human occupation (MOHO) is what? It is a holistic model (one that looks at the whole rather than a reductionistic model (one that looks intensely at the one part).
the human individual engaged in occupation is seen as a complex interaction of parts that cannot make sense viewed seperately |
|
volition
|
motivation. Three key elements of this is personal causation, values, and interests. together and separately, these three keys supply motivation or ________ to engage in occupation.
|
|
personal causation
|
refers to the person's beliefs about personal effectiveness.
|
|
values
|
internalized images of "what is important and meaningful to do." These motivate behavior.
|
|
interests
|
"what one finds enjoyable or satisfying to do". things that attract people.
|
|
habituation
|
refers to activities that have been performed enough times to become routine and customary. two elements are habits and internalized roles.
|
|
habits
|
automatic routines or patterns of activity that a person seems to perform almost by reflex, without much conscious awareness.
|
|
internalized roles
|
personalized occupational roles that consist of many different habits, routines, and skills. These are internalized or personalized by the individual.
|
|
performance capacity
|
"the ability for doing things. doing things depends on the body structures and functions and on the subjective experience of them.
|
|
the lived body
|
"the experience of being and knowing the world through a particular body"
|
|
biomechanical approach
|
considers the human body as a living machine. kinetics and statics are used in this approach.
|
|
kinetics
|
the science of the motions of objects and the forces acting on them
|
|
statics
|
the study of the forces acting on objects at rest
|
|
sensorimotor approach
|
developed for treatment of patients who have CNS dysfunction
|
|
neurophysiological
|
normalizes muscle tone and elicits more normal motor responses.
|
|
reflex
|
the sequence of treatment may be based on the recapitulation of ontogenetic development. Therapy is directed at incorporating these into purposeful activity.
|
|
motor learning
|
an approach associated with the sensorimotor approach that focuses on the acquisition of motor skills through practice and feedback. Acknowledges the individuals involvement in the learning process and requires active practice and reflection from the patient.
|
|
rehabilitation approach
|
uses measures that enable a person to live as independently as possible despite residual disability. its goal is to help the patient learn to work around or compensate for physical limitations.
|
|
treatment continuum
|
begins with the onset of injury or disability and ends with the restoration of the patient to maximal independence. It is not a series of steps but a gradual movement from disease and disability toward health and ability.
|
|
adjunctive methods
|
used within OT to prepare the patient to engage in activity. these may include exercise, facilitation and inhibition techniques, positioning, sensory stimulation, selected physical agent modalities, and devices such as braces and splints.
|
|
enabling activities
|
requires more patient involvement than do adjunctive methods. these methods cannot be considered purposeful activity. These activities are not likely to be as meaningful to the patient or to stimulate as much interest and motivation as purposeful activities. They are preparatory or ancillary part of the treatment program to train specific sensory, motor, perceptual, or cognitive functions necessary for performance skills and occupations.
|
|
purposeful activity
|
the core of OT since its perception. It has an inherent or autonomous goal is relevant and meaningful to the patient. It is part of the daily life routine and occurs in the context of occupational performance.
|
|
occupational roles
|
the final stage of the treatment continuum. assumes these in the living environment and in the community. Appropriate tasks in activities of areas of occupation are performed to the patients maximal level of independence.
|
|
evidence
|
what exists to support practice, outcomes are usually the focus.
|
|
evidence-based practice (EBP)
|
research and document best practices and consider the evidence that supports our interventions. Ask and answer questions for outcomes research. research and outcome studies have become important. being able to pose clinical questions and search for information in electronic databases and print sources is also necessary. The OTA may gather data and publish outcomes studies, document and write for publication a single case study report, or work with a group of OT practitioners on a large study. All of these efforts add to the knowledge base of the profession.
