OTAP 1350 Clinical Condi�ons II Applying Theories to a Short Story

Objec�ve: The purpose of this ac�vity is to u�lized Bloom’s Taxonomy level IV & V to assist students in examining and suppor�ng their knowledge and understanding of the various Frames of Reference (FoR) within the OT profession. This process helps the students process what they have learned and analyze the informa�on at different levels.

Instruc�ons:

A�er the class session where frames of references (FoR) are discussed and learned, students are to write a brief short story of a �me in their childhood. The story should be about an event that happened in their past, individually, with a sibling, or with a rela�onship, etc. It could be a funny story or about a �me they learned a lesson.

Next, students are to write a summary of the situa�on from the point of view of two FoR. The students should point out the key concepts regarding the par�cular theories and how it relates to their short story.

This assignment will help guide the students to be�er understand and be able to contrast the differences between each FoR discussed throughout the course by looking at their story through different perspec�ves.

**Grading: Each submission will be graded based on the comparison of the key components for that specific FoR to the student’s short story.

Choose any 2 FoR to compare and analyze how they are linked to your specific short story wri�en above. Grading will be based on how student links the key concepts of the 2 chosen FoR’s below to their specific story.

50% = a�empted but did not correctly link any listed concept to the provided story for their 2 chosen FoRs

75% = vague or not clearly linked to concepts listed above OR missed the link of 1 FoR but vaguely linked the 2nd FoR

89% = was able to minimally link to key concept(s) of each of the 2 chosen FoR’s OR linked well for 1 FoR and not so well to the other FoR

100% = thoroughly linked the 2 chosen FoR’s to various key concepts listed above.

Frame of Reference: _Biomechanical__

Frame of Reference: Rehabilita�ve

Frame of Reference: _Brunnstrom___

Frame of Reference: Rood

Focus on ROM, strength, and endurance; work on prerequisite skills to increase func�onal skills● Body must be rested then stressed● Must have intact brain that can produce isolated and coordinated movements● Prevent deformity or contractures; reduce pain, swelling, or scarring●

Use of adap�ve techniques, compensatory strategies, environmental modifica�ons to engage in occupa�ons● Use of ortho�cs, adap�ve procedures, educa�on, and safety to increase independence● Client factors, performance skills, and pa�erns may not be able to be restored●

Synergies and reflexes that occur early in development are also a normal part of recovery for a pa�ent with hemiplegia. Uses the pa�ent’s motor pa�erns available to them in the recovery.

●

These synergies should be facilitated and used during treatment. (6 stages of motor recovery)●

A neurological approach in which motor pa�erns are facilitated and normalized through the applica�on of sensory s�mula�on to specific sensory receptors (sensory s�m can elicit specific motor responses)

●

Normal muscle tone is a prerequisite to movement● Treatment begins at the developmental level of func�oning● Mo�va�on enhance performance● Repe��on is necessary for reeduca�on of muscular responses●

B.2.1 Apply scien�fic evidence, theories, models of prac�ce, and frames of reference that underlie the prac�ce of occupa�onal therapy to guide and inform interven�ons for persons, groups, and popula�ons in a variety of prac�ce contexts and environments.

Frame of Reference: Neurofunc�onal

Frame of Reference: Propriocep�ve Neuromuscular Facilita�on

Frame of Reference: PEO

Used a�er severe cogni�ve deficits following a brain injury● Task-specific training: repe��on of task/rou�ne in natural contexts to develop habits or func�onal behaviors● Compensatory techniques & repe��ve prac�ces; cogni�ve overlearning●

Focuses on CNS disorders & is a neurophysiological approach; uses reflex supports to assist with voluntary movements● S�mula�on of the proprioceptors to prevent or correct muscle imbalances for normal movement and posture● Diagonal pa�erns and techniques were established; core stabiliza�on, & recovery from sports injuries● Developmental sequence of motor movement (head to toe progression)●

Looks at the person’s skills and abili�es across the physical, social and emo�onal spectrum ● Considers the person to be unique with their own set of values, beliefs, and goals● Considers the person to be intrinsically mo�vated● States the person’s environment & context influence the person and occupa�on ● It focuses EQUALLY on changing Person, Environment and Occupa�on to promote func�on where other models may focus on one areas more so that another
