Introduction to Functional Treatment Ideas & Strategies
0:00
Jan Davis utilizes functional treatment ideas taken from real-life and visually outlines each of the 5 stages of her approach, demonstrating activities with actual stroke survivors.
-
Evaluation
0:00
In the following videos, watch Jan Davis assess four stroke survivors in order to determine a plan of intervention for each.
-
Interview with Clint
0:00
Clint is an outpatient and four months post-stroke. Watch Jan Davis interview Clint during her initial assessment, demonstrating a client-centered, problem-solving approach to his treatment.
-
Interview with Alice
0:00
Alice had her stroke ten years ago. The high tone of her right upper extremity is limiting her function. Observe Jan Davis interview Alice in order to begin a client-centered approach and determine her key problem areas.
-
Introduction to Observation Skills
0:00
Skilled physical therapists and occupational therapists more readily identify key impairments, determine therapeutic goals, effectively document incremental functional changes and implement a more therapeutic plan of intervention.
-
Observations of Clint
0:00
Skilled observations of Clint from the front, the side and from the back provide clues to impairment of motor control and problems related to asymmetry of the head, trunk and limbs.
-
Observations of Alice
0:00
Potential impairments related to motor control, tone and coordination are visible during this observation of Alice.
-
Observations of Tom: Dynamic Movement
0:00
Skilled observations of Tom provide clues to impairment of motor control and illustrate typical patterns of movement following a stroke.
-
Tactile Observations & Summary
0:00
This video illustrates how “touch” is equally as important as visual observation and provides additional information to the therapist during the assessment.
-
Clinical Reasoning
0:00
With clinical reasoning the problem solving really begins! Identifying prognostic indicators, interpreting impairments and determining solutions to key problems identified are clearly presented and illustrated with patient videos.
-
Clinical Reasoning with Tom
0:00
Jan Davis describes the clinical reasoning process with Tom, combining information gathered during the interview, observations of asymmetry and identification of impairments and key problem areas.
