Study Notes

Importance of ADL Assessment

Assessing Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is crucial for evaluating a client's independence.
It helps occupational therapists analyze performance, identify limitations, and develop strategies for improved daily function.
ADL assessments track progress, determine if therapy goals have been met, and inform adjustments to interventions.

Methods of ADL Performance Evaluation

Therapists use two main methods to evaluate ADLs: self-reported and performance-based assessments.

Self-Reported Assessments

Clients provide subjective reports about their ADL abilities.
Methods include questionnaires, interviews, or checklists.
Accuracy may be reduced due to memory issues, cognitive problems, or personal bias.
Useful for initial screenings or when direct observation is unavailable.

Performance-Based Assessments

Direct observation of ADL performance in real-world settings.
More objective and reliable than self-reports.
Allows analysis of movement patterns, identification of challenges, and determination of adaptive technique needs.
Assessments should ideally occur in natural settings (home, hospital, rehab centers), whenever possible.

Factors to Consider Before ADL Performance

Range of Motion (ROM): Effective joint movement for task completion.
Strength: Sufficient muscular power to complete tasks.
Sensation: Absence of sensory deficits impacting safety.
Balance: Ability to maintain stability during ADLs.
Cognition: Absence of memory, attention, or executive function impairments impacting ADL performance.

Standardized ADL Assessments

Therapists use standardized tools for evaluating ADL performance, goal setting, and progress tracking.
Common tools include the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Klein-Bell Activities of Daily Living Scale, Katz Index of Independence in ADLs, and others.
These assessments provide quantifiable data.

Medical Complexity in Acute Care Settings

Special precautions are needed in hospitals/ICUs when assessing ADLs, such as monitoring vital signs, considering medical devices and conditions, and following isolation protocols.

Privacy & HIPAA Compliance

Client confidentiality is crucial.
Informed consent should be obtained before involving family or caregivers.
HIPAA regulations must be followed when documenting and sharing client information.

Biomechanical Considerations

Biomechanics forms a foundational framework for assessing and treating physical/functional issues and restrictions.
It evaluates the mechanical laws involved in body movement.

Key Concepts & Terminology

Key concepts and terms for assessing and treating biomechanical issues include edema, endurance, ROM, and impairment.

Function and Dysfunctions Continuum

The continuum considers function/dysfunction from total dependence to complete independence.
It covers joint range of motion, muscle strength, and endurance.

Evaluation Techniques

Assessment methods include evaluating ROM, measuring muscle strength, and assessing endurance.

Intervention Strategies

Remediation aims to restore function.
Compensation focuses on adapting with assistive devices.
Prevention involves strategies to avoid complications.

Environmental Considerations

The physical environment significantly impacts ADL performance—the evaluation should consider physical accessibility/barriers in daily environments.
Cultural and social factors influence ADL performance, and therapists must be aware of cultural norms.

Wound Care Interventions

OTs play a critical role in wound care prevention and management.
It's part of occupational therapy's goal to improve daily activities for patients to avoid wounds and reduce complications.
The OT should focus on supporting daily habits and routines to prevent further complications.

Chronic Wound Types

A variety of chronic wounds exist, including pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous ulcers.
OTs play a crucial role in the prevention and management of these types of wounds, through various interventions.

Wound Assessment

History of wound development is critical.
Observe surrounding tissue and identify its color and moisture levels.
Assess the wound location, its base color, and the edges—are there any signs of undermining or rolled edges?
Assess the size, drainage color and consistency, and any odor.

Pressure Redistribution

Strategies can prevent friction/shear and pressure injuries—support surfaces are crucial.
Key concepts like pressure management, preventing friction/shear, and strategies for pressure management are relevant.

Amputation Levels and Considerations

Different amputation techniques have different effects on a client's function.
Occupational therapists play a key role in preparing clients who have undergone amputation.
Evaluating and managing edema, and post-surgical care are critical considerations.

Occupational Therapy in Orthopedics

OT's aim is to help maximize musculoskeletal function, treat pain, and prevent further complications.
They work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, assess areas like ROM, physical skills, and patterns, and address precautions like avoiding certain movements.
The interventions vary depending on the injury.
Common conditions include fractures, arthritis, and joint replacements.
OTs use various techniques/approaches like ADLs, mobility, and functional activities, while precautions depend on the specific orthopedic condition.

Biomechanical Frame of Reference

The Biomechanical Frame of Reference focuses on physics and human movement principles.
It's used to treat/assess issues in musculoskeletal, peripheral nervous, and cardiopulmonary conditions.
This FOR is essential for evaluating and treating various conditions impacting physical function.

Amputation Causes

A multitude of conditions can cause amputations, including vascular disease, trauma, and infections.
OTs play an important role in supporting clients recovering from amputations, helping them adapt to their new realities.
