Study Notes

Common Frames of Reference

Frames of reference aim to enhance occupational performance, promoting health, well-being, and participation.
Objectives focus on body function and structure but should align with functional therapy goals.

Biomechanical Frame of Reference

Target conditions: musculoskeletal disorders like fractures, amputations, rheumatoid arthritis, and back pain.
Utilizes anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology to restore function.
Occupation-based assessments include:
- Barthel Index
- Borg Rate of Perceived Exertion Scale
- Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)
- Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
Objectives include:
- Increasing strength, endurance, and range of motion.
- Reducing pain and preventing deformities or contractures.

Rehabilitative Frame of Reference

Focuses on neuro-motor, sensorimotor, or neurodevelopmental disorders, including multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injuries.
Emphasizes adaptive techniques for maximizing occupational performance.
Occupation-based assessments include:
- Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM)
- Klein-Bell Activities of Daily Living Scale
- Kohlman Evaluation of Living Scale (KELS)
Objectives aim to adapt the environment or activity to enhance participation in meaningful occupations.

Multicontext Treatment Approach

Designed for clients with neurological disorders affecting cognition and perception.
Assesses cognitive functions like memory, sequencing, and problem-solving.
Occupation-based assessments include:
- Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
- Cognitive Performance Test (CPT)
Objectives focus on adapting activities to facilitate generalization of learned strategies across contexts.

Quadraphonic Approach

Addresses cognitive deficits post-brain injury.
Utilizes continuous analysis of occupational performance for effective rehabilitation.
Encourages practice of skills in context and emphasizes client priorities and motivation.

Neurofunctional Approach

Targets clients with severe cognitive deficits following brain injury.
Focuses on task-specific training to develop routines and habits.
Utilizes repetition within natural contexts to retrain lost skills.

Motor Learning/Motor Control Approach

Aims to assist clients in acquiring developmental movement patterns for functional actions.
Emphasizes the learning of motor movement and control.
Occupation-based assessments include:
- Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS)
- Functional Independence Measure (FIM)
Objectives focus on enhancing quality and effectiveness of movement in occupational activities.
