Purpose. The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect Cognitive Orientation daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach compared with usual outpatient rehabilitation on activity and participation in people <3 months poststroke. Methods. An exploratory, single-blind, randomized controlled trial, a usual-care control arm, conducted. Participants referred 2 stroke programs were receive either care or CO-OP. primary outcome actual performance trained untrained self-selected...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect Cognitive Orientation Daily Occupational Performance (CO–OP) compared with usual occupational therapy on upper-extremity movement, cognitive flexibility, and stroke impact in people less than 3 mo after stroke. An exploratory, single-blind randomized controlled trial conducted referred outpatient services at two rehabilitation centers. Arm movement measured Action Research Test, flexibility Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the inter-rater reliability, test-retest concurrent validity, and discriminant validity Complex Task Performance Assessment (CTPA): an ecologically valid performance-based assessment executive function. Community control participants (n = 20) individuals with mild stroke 14) participated in study. All completed CTPA a battery cognitive assessments at initial testing. two different times one week apart. intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) for...
Mild stroke comprises 53% of hospital admissions; however, the majority those with mild patients receive little support to address chronic symptoms following stroke.To evaluate feasibility and preliminary effect Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) for use individuals immediately post mild-stroke.Single-blind, exploratory, randomized controlled trial participants who sustained a (NIHSS <6). Participants were either CDSMP intervention or an inactive control group. Primary outcomes...
To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effect of metacognitive strategy training (MCST) on cognitive performance neural connectivity in frontoparietal network women with chemotherapy-induced impairment (CICI) following treatment for breast cancer.A single-group pre/post study was conducted. After completing baseline assessment battery neuroimaging, participants completed a 12-session MCST intervention. Following completion intervention, subjects same neuroimaging as at within 4 weeks...
Abstract OBJECTIVE. The Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) is a reliable and valid performance-based assessment of executive function for people with stroke. objective this study was to enhance the clinical utility EFPT by developing testing additional tasks in Alternate (aEFPT). METHOD. We performed cross-sectional poststroke participants (n = 25) healthy control 25). All completed neuropsychological battery both aEFPT. RESULTS. No statistically significant differences were found...
Purpose: To investigate the effect of adding cognitive strategy training to task-specific (TST), called Cognitive Oriented Strategy Training Augmented Rehabilitation (COSTAR), compared with TST on activity and participation for chronic stroke survivors in an outpatient occupational therapy settingMaterials methods: We conducted exploratory, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Participants were or COSTAR protocol. Our primary outcomes measured after stroke: Stroke Impact Scale (SIS),...
The purpose of this study was to assess the validity Weekly Calendar Planning Activity Middle/High School (WCPA) in adolescents with acquired brain injuries (ABI). We recruited neurotypical controls (n = 27) and ABI 14) complete a 90-min battery cognitive tests. Adolescents were further divided into mild severe groups by Glasgow Coma Scale Score compared controls. Mann-Whitney U tests revealed significant differences (p .05) on WCPA between total time rules followed. Between group,...
The Washington University in St. Louis Stroke Clinic is a student-run free clinic (SRSC) designed to enhance student learning and provide the community with no-cost evidence-based occupational therapy services. Aphasia common communication impairment after stroke that affects ability access services give get information, impacts life participation satisfaction. Conversation partner training an treatment approach improve people aphasia (PWA). purpose of this project was develop evaluate...
<h3>Background</h3> Despite increasing prevalence of gout in the UK (1), a variety barriers result suboptimal care (1,2) with only 40% patients receiving urate-lowering therapy (ULT), usually at fixed dose without titration to serum uric acid (SUA) target (1,2). Nurses successfully manage many chronic diseases community, and we have shown that when people are fully informed involved management decisions uptake ULT is high subsequent adherence under nurse-led excellent (3)....
Abstract Cognitive impairment is a common consequence of mild stroke. Current performance-based assessments for stroke can detect impairments in executive function but lack alternate forms to be used as outcome measures. This study aimed develop an form the Complex Task Performance Assessment (CTPA–Alt), assessment function, and establish reliability CTPA–Alt. A repeated-measures was conducted with 26 community participants. Participants were screened eligibility administered both CTPA;...
Abstract Date Presented 4/20/2018 This study examined the validity of Weekly Calendar Planning Activity Middle/High School as a diagnostic performance-based measure executive function in rehabilitation with teenagers aged 12–18 acquired brain injury. It was found to be valid tool for this population. Primary Author and Speaker: Meghan Doherty Contributing Authors: Christine Berg, Dawn Dickerson, Kathryn Kadela
Law enforcement agencies stress that public reporting of terror‐related crime is the predominant means for disrupting these actions. However, schools may be unprepared because majority populace not understand threat suspicious materials or what to do when they are found on school grounds. The purpose this study was systematically teach preschool children identify and report packages across three experiments. In first experiment, we used multiple exemplar training characteristics safe unsafe...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor neuron disease and presentation varies. There limited description of this variability how physical therapy (PT) specific movement system diagnoses (MSD) may impact care.
Abstract Date Presented 3/31/2017 This study was a randomized controlled trial to see if self-management intervention is feasible and has an effect on health outcomes in persons with mild stroke. Participants who received the had improved care utilization physical quality of life ratings compared control participants.

The present study introduces the Verbal Associated Pairs Screen (VAPS) as a new measure for assessing performance validity in pediatric populations. This presents initial data on psychometric properties and establishes construct VAPS sample of 30 adolescent healthy controls 206 youths with traumatic brain injury (TBI: moderate/severe, N = 30; mild, 176). control group's age (M 14.93, SD 1.8) was significantly higher than moderate/severe TBI 13.9, 2.8), t(68.508) -3.038, p .003, mild (mTBI)...
