News AND FEATURES FROM Today In OT

geriatrics & home health
The Effect of Hoarding Behavior on Health - An elderly patient‘s home is cluttered with piles on tables and chairs. An OT making home visits watches those piles grow, encroaching on the living space. The patient hasn‘t done her prescribed home exercises, and it appears she simply doesn‘t have the room. She exhibits stress when the OT offers to throw away some of her “junk.”
neurology
Combination Therapy - Eddy Mowbray didn‘t know where else to turn. His chronic back pain could not be treated surgically and its severity increased so much as the day progressed that he couldn‘t wait to go to sleep. No longer able to sit long enough to read, much less work around the house, he was an ideal candidate for occupational therapy.
Orthopedics
On the Mend - Fractures of the distal radius have been referred to as Colles fractures since they were first described by Irish surgeon Abraham Colles in 1814. Wrist fractures are the single most common fracture in the under-65 population, occurring at a rate of approximately 270,000 per year in the United States, and most often involving the radius.
Pediatrics
Emphasis: Exercise - Childhood obesity is on the rise, and occupational therapists are among the many medical professionals seeing an increase in pediatric patients who are overweight and have health complications such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and asthma as a result of carrying excess pounds.
Psychosocial Rehabilitation
Sweet Comfort - In Northwest Oregon, children and young adults find help coping with grief over the death of a loved one through a trailblazing program that lets them freely express feelings about an event that too often gets hushed up or steered clear of, even by health professionals. “Unfortunately, we‘re in a society that avoids talking about death,” says Donna Schuurman, executive director of the Dougy Center for Grieving Children and Families, which operates three sites in Portland.
