Study Notes
Rehabilitation
- Focuses on the treatment of abilities (what the client currently has / what is left despite the disability)
- Emphasizes teaching patients to compensate for underlying deficits that cannot be remediated
- Relies on the philosophy of rehabilitation
- Utilizes compensation strategies and techniques to restore an individual's independence
- Involves a teaching-learning process and relies on clinical reasoning
Herman Kabat
- Utilized a neurophysiological mechanism including reflexes and neuromuscular responses
Motor Control
- The ability to regulate or direct the mechanisms essential to movement
- Theories describe how movement is controlled
Motor Learning
- A set of processes associated with practice or experience leading to relatively permanent changes in the capability for skilled movement
Function-Dysfunction
- Movement patterns are a consequence of the dynamics that occur between a person with specific abilities and limitations
-
Closed tasks are those in which the environment is stationary during task performance
- Variability in the environment could be less or more
- Function: performs necessary tasks within the closed environment
- Dysfunction: unable to perform/difficulty performing a task within a closed environment
-
Open tasks are those in which the environment is in motion and includes intertrial variability
- Function: performs necessary tasks within the open environment
- Dysfunction: unable to perform/difficulty performing a task within an open environment
Postulates of Change
-
General Postulate focuses on the early and late stages of learning
- Early stages of learning: OT focuses feedback on movement outcome and environment to improve skill acquisition
- Late stages of learning: OT summarizes feedback and provides tasks that require performance
Directional Postulates
- A child's motor skill acquisition will improve if there is a match among the task requirements, environmental demands, and the child's abilities
- The child should be able to perform closed motor tasks prior to performing open motor tasks
Specific Postulates
- Occupational therapists encourage the child to self-evaluate their movements for them to improve motor skill performance
- OT provides randomized practice of tasks in situations in which they typically occur
- OT provides open tasks with variability and unpredictability during practice
Impact of Individual Perception on Occupational Performance
- Occupational performance is a dynamic and complex phenomenon
- Influenced by the interactions that take place between the individual, their surroundings, and the occupation in which the person engages.
- Person -Environment-Occupation Fit - there are three major components (person, environment and occupation) that interact continuously across time and space in ways that makes them more or less congruent
PEOP Model Components
- Person, environment, and occupation constantly interact throughout time and space
- Their degree of alignment influences the overall effectiveness and efficiency of occupational performance
- The closer these three elements "fit" or align, the more optimal the occupational performance will be.
Person (Intrinsic Factors)
- Well-being - physiological , cognitive, spiritual, neuro-behavioral, and psychological
Environment (Extrinsic Factors)
- Quality of life - social support, social & economic systems, culture & values, built environment, and technology.
Conditional Positive Regard
- Approval, love, or acceptance granted only when a person expresses desirable behaviors and attitudes.
Ideal Self
- A person’s dynamic ambitions and goals.
Conditions of worth
- A belief that a person is worthy of approval only when they express desirable behaviors and attitudes and refrain from expressing those that brings disapproval from others.
Fully-functioning person
- The capability to operate their valuing processes fully; people would begin to experience self-movement and growth.
Formative Tendency
- A tendency for all matter, both organic and inorganic, to evolve from simpler to more complex forms.
Actualizing Tendency
- To move toward completion or fulfillment of potential.
Two Tendencies to maintain and enhance the organism:
-
Maintenance
- Includes basic needs
- Includes a tendency to resist change and to seek status quo
-
Enhancement
- Strong desire to learn
- Willingness to change
Types of Client-Centered Model of Care
-
Type 1: Led by client
- A therapist-client relationship in which the client is the one that determines the objectives and decides how the treatment should go.
-
Type 2: Led by interaction
- Has three concepts that enable us to understand this type which are respect, power, and negotiation.
Respect
- Respect their opinions, choices, and values but as a therapist, one must also realize their capabilities, needs and limitations especially if it will cause harm to the client.
Power
- Ability to persuade and to obtain influence
- To have shared power with the client.
Negotiation
- Establishing a bond with the other person, in an atmosphere where listening is as important as expressing your views.
Postulates of Change
- The therapist participates in active listening, paying attention, and deeply understanding the client's feelings, thoughts, and experiences.
- Increased client's motivation which can lead to active participation in therapy.
- Improved client's performance, skills, and sense of autonomy aligned with client's goals.
- Stronger therapist-client relationship that is built on trust and collaboration.
Application To Practice
- Employs a client-centered approach to enhance daily functioning and overall well-being, utilizing comprehensive evaluations and assessments to tailor therapy to individual needs.
Personal Reflection
- Reflective practice
- Journaling
- Feedback
Client-Centered Processes
- Structured evaluation tools
- Conducting studies such as semi-structured interviews
- Reviewing documentation
