#78: OT and Habits with Zipporah Brown
April 18, 2024 14:00 - 1 hour - 45.1 MBThere is a growing public consciousness around the power (and difficulty) of habit change, especially as the impact of chronic conditions soars. And, as we’ll see in the featured scoping review on OT and habit change/health promotion, we’ve been addressing habits since 1912, it is a core part of our 2020 practice framework, and is increasingly embedded in OT research. On this OT Potential Podcast episode, we’ll welcome Dr. Zipporah Brown, and her and I will discuss ways you can embed be...
#77: OT and Making the OTD Capstone Matter with Daniel Rortvedt & Alana Woolley
April 04, 2024 11:00 - 1 hour - 44 MBThe number of OT entry-level doctoral (OTD) programs has been expanding rapidly. In 2017 there were 7 programs. As of 2023, there are 95, with an additional 76 in development. The article we'll cover in this course presents early stage research on the doctoral capstone experience and employment opportunities. It backs up what I have now personally observed through mentoring a student: that doctoral students are uniquely prepared for more diverse job opportunities, and sometimes jobs are ev...
#76: OT and Pediatric Constipation with Quiara Smith
March 21, 2024 15:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBI’ve been surprised as my own kids enter elementary school to anecdotally find that constipation is a common reason to miss activities. But, this aligns perfectly with the research we look at today, and the growing concern that constipation has become a public health concern. As many as 32% of kids (0-18) experience constipation. And, a growing number of occupational therapy professionals are seeing these kids on their caseload. Today we’ll look at an article that examines what an interd...
#75: Knowledge Translation and OT with Tim Dionne
March 07, 2024 17:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBIt takes an average of 17 years for evidence to make its way into practice. The fields of knowledge translation and implementation science are seeking to change this. And, today we are looking at a scoping review of knowledge translation research in rehab. To be frank, I think the article is pretty convoluted. (Which is funny since it comes from researchers interested in knowledge translation.🤔) But, it certainly gives us a good jumping off point to talk about the challenges around know...
#74: Finger Prosthetics and OT with Haley Van Escobar
February 22, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 48.5 MBThe art and science of digital prosthetics is rapidly advancing. Yet, many people with amputated fingers do not wear a prosthetic. Part of the problem may be our own fault as health providers. We may be stuck in old stereotypes of poor outcomes and limited options related to digital prosthetics. In this one-hour podcast-base course, we’ll look at a research article that explores the experiences of people who wear digital prosthetics. Our goal is to develop your skills in listening clos...
#73: Diversity in OT with Arameh Anvarizadeh
February 08, 2024 16:00 - 56 minutes - 38.9 MBIn previous courses, we’ve discussed that one of the primary ways we can improve our care, as OT professionals, is to increase the diversity of our workforce—with the ultimate goal of having our workforce’s diversity mirror the diversity of the populations we are seeing. This goal will ensure we have the multiple perspectives needed to respond to the needs of our clients. But, until now, we’ve mostly talked about this theoretically. So, what do the actual numbers have to say about the c...
#72: What is OT in 2024? with Ryan Lavalley and Carlin Reaume
January 25, 2024 16:00 - 1 hour - 48.3 MBThrough OT Potential, we’ve released over 70 episodes all exploring new influential OT research. As we enter 2024, it’s time to reflect on the research and ask: What trends are we seeing in OT? How is new research enriching how we think about our practice? In this 1 hour-episode, we’ll talk about new trends, with a particular focus on what commonalities we see leaders in our field doing in their occupational therapy process. We’ll culminate our discussion by exploring how people describe...
#71: Building a Global OT Profession with Vikram Pagpatan
January 11, 2024 20:00 - 1 hour - 45.2 MBSince this keynote address from the World Federation of Occupational Therapy Congress was published in 2019, it has been cited so many times that it made our list of the 100 most-cited OT journal articles. It’s easy to see why this has become such a popular read. The article stitches occupational therapy together with global trends, in particular growing inequality. The author challenges us to see this problem clearly. And, calls us upon us to build globally relevant occupational therapy...
#70: OT and Dyslexia with Penny Stack
December 15, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBDyslexia is the most common form of neurodivergence. It affects around 20% of the population, meaning that people with dyslexia are on almost every occupational therapy professional’s caseload. And yet, not enough OT-specific research and resources have been devoted to how we can help this population. Today, we look at a leading theory of dyslexia that basically reads like a call to action for OT’s to re-examine how needed our skills are. As you’ll see it pushes us to take a strengths-...
#69: OT for Adults with Intellectual Disability with Dr. Meghan Blaskowitz and Dr. Wanda Mahoney
November 30, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 48.6 MBFor OT professionals working with adults with intellectual disabilities it can feel like there is a lack of resources around best practices for working with this population. Today’s article flips that long-held narrative on its head. The authors set out to find evidence to inform OT for adults with intellectual disability—and to their own surprise they found so much it has become 3 papers. We’ll review the evidence they found to support intervention. Then we’ll welcome to the podcast tw...
#68: Acute Care OT and PT After Birth with Jenna and Rebeca Segraves
November 16, 2023 21:00 - 1 hour - 54 MBMaternal deaths are on the rise, here in the United States. And, we have a postpartum mental health crisis. In OT 90% of us are women, and many of us have personally experienced the inadequate support given to birthing individuals. But, not enough of us have stepped back to ask: why aren’t we (with our training in mental health & daily participation) helping women in the hospital after birth? Luckily, there is a growing number of OTs asking this question and doing something about it. ...
#67: Pain and OT with Irvin Eisenberg
November 02, 2023 16:00 - 1 hour - 43.5 MBI once heard a neuroscientist say: Many of our frameworks end up being wrong—because the body is more complicated than we ever imagined. Pain science perfectly illustrates this. We are living in an era where new frameworks are being written—because classical understandings of pain have not only been inadequate, they have led to ineffective and even harmful treatment. Today, we look at a new framework for understanding pain. And, there’s good news for OT in it. The authors argue tha...
#66: Early Intervention Timing and Intensity with Sarah Putt
October 19, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBThe main finding of this important research from JAMA is extremely promising for early intervention OT professionals. In the study, greater early intervention service intensity was associated with better functional gains. But, there’s a problem. Federal spending per child on early intervention services has declined over the past decade. And, in this climate of tightening budgets: Most children in the study had delayed care. And, low service intensity. After we review this article,...
#65: OT & Perinatal Pelvic Health with Kyrsten Spurrier and Carlin Reaume
October 05, 2023 14:00 - 59 minutes - 41 MBThe number of OT’s providing perinatal care is on the rise. Which is exciting…and necessary. There remain so many gaps in the care of new and expecting moms, among which is treating incontinence. As we’ll see in our featured journal article, a staggering percentage of women experience incontinence postnatally, despite the known effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training as a treatment. The article specifically explores the cost effectiveness of different models of pelvic floor the...
#64: CO-OP Approach and Cerebral Palsy with Helene Polatajko
September 20, 2023 14:00 - 58 minutes - 40.4 MBThe OT treatment approaches that are gaining support from evidence, seem to have one common thread between them: The clients set their own goals. Today, we look at a pioneer of this client-centered process, The CO-OP Approach™. We’ll dive into a new research article where, yet again, we see CO-OP outperforming conventional therapy—this time for children with cerebral palsy and spina bifida. After we review the article, we’re honored to welcome to the podcast the founder of this approach,...
#63: OT and ADHD with Bryden Carlson-Giving
September 05, 2023 15:00 - 59 minutes - 40.8 MBThe number of children diagnosed with ADHD has been steadily increasing. Now it is estimated that 1/10 children will be diagnosed with ADHD at some point. Even though about half of these children receive some type of behavioral treatment, there has been a lack of studies around OT-specific support for ADHDer children. In this one hour OT CEU course, we will look at a study of an OT program for ADHD that features: Children setting their own goals A focus on daily time management Time-a...
#62: Self-Determination for Autistic Students with Dora Onwumere
August 21, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBSelf-determination interventions are linked to positive academic and functional attainment results—and, most compellingly, can improve post-secondary outcomes. But what does it look like for OT professionals to foster self-determination in the school setting? In this one hour course, we’ll breakdown a scoping review that examines the Independence Curriculum, which is designed to enhance middle-school-aged autistic students’ self-determination. The results are improvement in: Self-deter...
#61: Strengths-based OT for Autistic People
August 07, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBIf you are an occupational therapy professional working with autistic people, you’ve likely heard of strengths-based practice (SBP). But, does this approach work? And, what are the benefits of it? In this one hour OT CEU course we will discuss a scoping review that explores these questions. As we’ll see, strengths-based interventions were related to: Positive social engagement Learning Self-advocacy Anxiety reduction After reviewing the article, we’re delighted to welcome to the p...
#61: Strengths-based OT for Autistic People with Kavitha Murthi
August 07, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 45.3 MBIf you are an occupational therapy professional working with autistic people, you’ve likely heard of strengths-based practice (SBP). But, does this approach work? And, what are the benefits of it? In this one hour OT CEU course we will discuss a scoping review that explores these questions. As we’ll see, strengths-based interventions were related to: Positive social engagement Learning Self-advocacy Anxiety reduction After reviewing the article, we’re delighted to welcome to the p...
#60: OT and Psoriatic Arthritis with Duana Russell-Thomas
July 24, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBWhere does OT fit in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) care? In this one hour course we’ll dive into a comprehensive guideline for psoriatic arthritis treatment, which recommends patients utilize a mix of non-pharmacological tools, like occupational therapy. This article will help you brush up on psoriatic arthritis, see OT within a holistic approach to care, and appreciate the importance of individualized care (which we are so skilled in providing). After we review the article, we’ll be joine...
#59: OT Education for Planetary Health with Moses Ikiugu
July 10, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 44.3 MBWhat does planetary health have to do with occupational therapy? The author’s of this week’s article argue that engagement with environmental sustainability is foundational for our profession. The authors aim to help OT students and professionals translate environmental awareness to practical action. They theorize 3 skills to do so: Clinical reasoning Bi-directional questioning Interprofessional education. To help us unpack this, we are excited to welcome to the podcast Moses Ikiu...
#58: OT and AI with Sarah Brzeszkiewicz
June 19, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBIs AI going to replace occupational therapy? There’s no doubt that this technology will transform healthcare. It will surely accelerate the existing move toward healthcare taking place at home. To help us wrap our minds around this transformation, we review an article that explores three technologies: Artificial intelligence Blockchain Wearables The article explores how the above technologies are being used in chronic disease management. The authors also introduce a patient-centered m...
#57: OT for Spasticity in Adults
June 05, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 45 MBSpasticity can be present in many of the conditions we treat as occupational therapy professionals. And, it can add significant cost and burden for our patients. The article we are discussing in this 1-hour course gives you a big picture overview of the science behind what we know (and don’t know!) about spasticity. You’ll find certain approaches (that I’ve personally used!) that have NOT been supported by the research—but also which modalities have a growing body of evidence behind th...
#56: Depression in Neurodegenerative Diseases with Rachel Wiley
May 12, 2023 15:00 - 1 hour - 45.1 MBThe research we are discussing on this 1-hour episode really drives home the complex connection between depression and 3 neurodegenerative diseases: Alzehimer’s Disease Parkinson’s Disease Huntington Disease Even though depression has a high comorbidity with all of these diseases, you’ll learn why it should not be an assumed part of the disease process. Instead, depression should be recognized as distinct and treated. But, here’ where it gets super complex: In some cases the medicati...
#55: OT, Plagiocephaly, and Cognitive Outcomes with Amirra Condelee
May 01, 2023 14:00 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBPlagiocephaly has historically been thought of as a benign, cosmetic issue. But, the seminal study we are looking at during this 1-hour course indicates that severe to moderate skull deformity may be best understood as a biomarker for developmental vulnerability. As we’ll see, moderate to severe skull deformity was linked with lower cognitive and academic outcomes, when the children reached school age. It is critical to understand that this does not mean that plagiocephaly causes develop...
#54: Cancer Rehab for Older Adults with Mackenzi Pergolotti
April 10, 2023 20:00 - 1 hour - 44.7 MBAbout half of cancer survivors report difficulty with ADLs and a third difficulty with iADLs. But, unfortunately, only around 1 in 10 older adults with cancer who have a known functional limitation receive a referral to OT or PT. Even less make it to an eval. And, even less than that, complete their full course of rehab. Why are we failing to support such a large percentage of this population? And, what is the best way to support them when they do make it to us for occupational therap...
#53: OT & Smart Home Tech Adoption with Carol Chiang
March 26, 2023 23:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBThe research we’ve explored on the podcast, seems to be pointing to a new reality: The future of healthcare will be in the home. But, how will we get there? How will our homes ever be ready to age in place? The transition is going to be a complex story of the right technologies, the right funding, and the right narratives. All of which will ultimately lead to the end goal of tech adoption. The article we will explore in this 1-hour course focuses on smart home technology adoption. It ...
#52: Anti-racist OT Praxis with Khalilah R. Johnson and Ryan Lavalley
March 13, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBAs occupational therapy providers, we have a duty to truly understand the word “occupation.” This means acknowledging the role occupation has played in shaping societal policies and norms, many of which are fundamentally unjust. We also need to admit that our professional knowledge base, itself, is skewed. The foundations of OT have evolved from an exclusionary context that privileged White skin, as well as other false social hierarchies. So much of what we learn, teach, and practice as ...
#51: Racism and Occupation with Ryan Lavalley and Khalilah R. Johnson
February 27, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 43.1 MBThe article we are looking at today challenges us to look critically at occupation—and how it can be used as a tool for justice or injustice. The reality is that many of us have narrowed our view of occupation into the medicalized and individualized categories of ADLs. But, we know from research (and lived experience!) that occupation is much more complex, interconnected, and powerful. The authors outline for us how occupation has played a role in systemic racism in the US. This history...
#50: OT and Social Determinants of Health with Joy Doll
February 12, 2023 22:00 - 1 hour - 46 MBIt’s no secret that our healthcare systems are built to react to sickness and health events—not to keep people healthy in the first place. If we want to get serious about producing health for our patients, we have to start shifting our healthcare system to address social determinants of health. But, how is such a seismic shift even possible—and what’s your role as an occupational therapy practitioner in this new era? In this one hour course, we will look at a journal article with a pro...
#49: Participation-focused Knowledge Translation in Pediatric OT with Satvika Garg
January 30, 2023 01:00 - 1 hour - 43.3 MBBoth participation-focused OT and knowledge translation are hot topics in OT right now. And, in this one-hour course we will explore a research article that puts forth a knowledge translation roadmap to accelerate the uptake of participation-focused OT assessments and intervention. These are both big topics in their own right, and when you mesh them together it feels like more than one therapist can handle. Honestly, that’s the point: Both knowledge translation and participation-focuse...
#48: Pediatric TBI and OT with Nelson Gonzalez
January 16, 2023 00:00 - 1 hour - 41.4 MBChildren are not little adults. Their brains are actively developing. Because of this neuroplasticity, one might assume they would more quickly and fully recover from a traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is not the case. A brain injury can have a more devastating impact on a child than a similar injury in a mature adult. (Brain Injury Association of America) This is what makes comprehensive, ongoing rehab for pediatric TBI so important. But, unfortunately, as we will see in our primar...
#47: OT and Falls Prevention with Pooja Patel
January 02, 2023 02:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBFalls are a complex problem. This makes preventing them a perfect target for our OT skillset. This week we are looking at an article that explores “the state of the science” on preventing falls in hospitalized patients. The authors walk us through: The scope of the problem The science (or lack thereof) supporting different interventions While many of the interventions sound simple (like gripper socks and alarms), the article we review in this 1-hour course reminds us that nothing is ...
#46: OT Hand Therapy Interventions with Hoang Tran
December 12, 2022 02:00 - 58 minutes - 40.2 MBWhen we think of hand therapy, we tend to think of it as a practice area with an abundance of research. But, the mapping review of hand therapy interventions we examine this episode reminds us that there are also sizable gaps in the research—especially when it comes to more complex diagnoses. This means that when OTs are working with upper extremity conditions, we still need to pay careful attention to the other 2 pillars of evidence-based practice: the client values & developing our own...
#45: Telehealth, Parent Alliance, and OT with Adam Griffin
November 27, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 41.8 MBAs OTs, we believe that creating a therapeutic alliance is one of the most powerful vehicles to change. But, we also know that there are many barriers that exist to building transformational relationships with our clients Telehealth can feel like another such barrier—but it doesn’t have to be! The article we are looking at in this 1 hour podcast-based CE course is a qualitative study exploring the parent engagement and therapeutic alliance in teletherapy programs. The author’s intent wa...
#44: Early Intervention for Motor Performance with Sarah Putt
November 14, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBFrom pregnancy to age 2 is arguably the most important developmental window of our lifetimes. This makes the work of OTs who work with this age incredibly important. And, for the rest of us, we should be using our professional knowledge to advocate for the proper support for families at this critically important window. In this one hour podcast course, we are looking at a broad systematic review about OT motor inventions for children ages 0-5. The importance of this paper cuts across mu...
#43: OT Supports for Sensory Processing Differences with Bryden Giving
October 31, 2022 00:00 - 56 minutes - 39.1 MBThe use of sensory-based interventions (SBIs) and environmental modification are common OT treatments. But, what is the evidence behind these treatments? In this episode, we’ll look at an influential systematic review that explores that question. The authors lay out the evidence behind specific sensory techniques and environmental modifications for children with sensory integration (SI) differences. The authors explore and rate the levels of evidence of common treatments, like massage,...
#42: Virtual Reality and OT with Christopher Gaskins
October 17, 2022 23:00 - 1 hour - 42.4 MBWhether or not you are personally a fan of virtually reality—all OTs should be following the developing research on this technology. In this episode, we’ll discuss an article where the authors explore the use of virtual reality (VR) systems that are built specifically for rehab versus general-use VR, like the Nintendo Wii and Xbox. The authors really focus on the active ingredients that seem to make VR-based rehab effective. And, they put forth the principles of neurorehab that underlie ...
#41: Trends in Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal OT with Winnie Tsui
October 03, 2022 00:00 - 1 hour - 44.6 MBIt is so easy to get caught in the minutiae of our daily work. And, sometimes it is incredibly helpful to zoom out and take a big picture look at the incredible changes we have seen in healthcare over the past decades. The journal article we are looking at this week gives us a bird’s-eye view of the past, present, and future of managing rheumatic and musculoskeletal (MSK) diseases. In the article you’ll find the same trends that we see in occupational therapy-specific research: a focus...
#40: OT for Hand Burns with Jody Sabel
September 18, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 39.2 MBWe need some of our OTs with the biggest hearts and brightest minds to consider specializing in burn therapy. But, no matter what setting you work in, you will likely have someone with a burn patient on your caseload at some point. Burns are the 4th most common type of trauma worldwide (behind traffic accidents, falls, and interpersonal violence.) 90% of burns occur in low- to middle-income countries. While OTs have worked in burn units for decades, the research behind OT-specific contribu...
#39: Lifestyle Medicine and OT with Ryan Osal
September 04, 2022 23:00 - 56 minutes - 38.5 MBHelping people change their habits to change their health is one of the main mechanisms that makes OT effective. But, I don’t think we spend enough time thinking about how HARD it is to change our habits. The article we are looking at today focuses on changing lifestyle habits for adults at high risk of a cardiovascular incident, like a stroke. The author’s aim is to conceptualize how engaging occupations can be used to facilitate health promoting habits. We’ll use this article as a jum...
#38: CIMT and OT with Catherine Hoyt
August 21, 2022 19:00 - 57 minutes - 39.3 MBConstraint-induced Movement Therapy has the reputation for being an intervention that is only for specialized OTs in some far-away speciality clinic. But, trust me: no matter what population you work with, OTs should be following this research. Today, on the podcast we are looking at a Cochrane review of all the evidence that undergirds this treatment. CIMT is perhaps the most-studied OT intervention—and it has lessons to teach us all about: neuroplasticity, intensity, and the future of...
#37: School-based OT Workload Trends with Jayson Davies
August 07, 2022 22:00 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MBThe change from “caseload” to “workload” may not seem that dramatic, but make no mistake it is a quiet revolution that is happening in school-based OT. It fundamentally shifts how we deliver care. The article we are discussing on the podcast encourages a shifting away from an individualist, medical model “caseload” based approach. And, encourages us to embrace a “workload” approach, which hypothetically yields opportunities to focus more on population health. This shift has been under...
#36: The Value of Acute and Postacute OT with Jeffrey Kou
July 18, 2022 01:00 - 55 minutes - 38 MBMany of us were not taught about the economics of OT in occupational therapy school. And, part of that reason is that the research base on the economic value of our work is just emerging. In this episode we will look at an article on the economic effects of OT in the acute and subacute setting. The good news in this article is that there is a growing amount of research about the economic value of OT—and the initial research is promising. The problem is that the existing research is wid...
#35 Cerebral Palsy and OT Evidence with Iona Novak
July 04, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 43.8 MBThe research we are reviewing in this course showcases how far we’ve come in the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cerebral palsy (CP) in children. The authors also explore the strength of the evidence behind 182 interventions for CP, organizing them into an “evidence traffic light.” This is an important paper for all OTs to read—not just because CP is one of the most common physical disabilities we see on our caseloads, but because the paper is so well written. The authors do a...
#34: Beyond Cultural Competence in OT with Khalilah Johnson
June 19, 2022 21:00 - 59 minutes - 40.9 MBThe term cultural competence can feel too soft and narrow to really push our profession towards equity and justice. But, the article we are reviewing today from the top 100 OT-related articles, brings up several essential points for discussion. The mention of OT in the article is grim. The article highlights “culturally blind” attitudes of OTs that failed to change after cultural competence training. This is a stark reminder of the need for change—and the multi-layered work needed to m...
#33: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Pain, & OT with Linda Crawford
June 06, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 46.2 MBAcceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) weaves together multiple concepts that OTs are already familiar with and often use in practice. On a personal level, it provides helpful tools we can utilize as we navigate complex situations in our work. But, not only is it personally helpful, the research we’re looking at today shows us why we need to be aware of it as a therapy professional: Research supports the use of ACT in addressing chronic pain. In the research study we’ll explore in thi...
#32: Parkinson’s Disease Evidence Review with Brandy Archie
May 16, 2022 01:00 - 1 hour - 42.8 MBThis prestigious guideline on Parkinson’s Disease (PD) treatment, that we’ll be covering in this podcast episode, recommends that rehab therapies are started at the time of diagnosis and continued throughout the disease course. This article will update you on key information about the PD disease process, the pervasiveness of non-motor symptoms, and the effectiveness of different treatments. The knowledge we are gaining about PD should definitely be impacting your sessions. (Hint: please ...
#31: The CORE Approach for Inclusive OT with Brock Cook
May 01, 2022 22:00 - 1 hour - 41.3 MBHow we understand our role as occupational therapy practitioners makes a huge difference in how we show up for our clients. But, unfortunately, some theories of OT practice fail to aid us in practical clinical reasoning that focuses on occupation. Luckily, the theories of OT practice that are emerging are getting closer to capturing the care we aspire to deliver—and provide more useful frameworks to guide our clinical reasoning. Today we will dive into the CORE Approach. The approach i...
#30: OT for Spinal Cord Injury with Simon Carson
April 18, 2022 01:00 - 59 minutes - 40.6 MBOur spinal cord injury clients stay in our hearts and minds. After all, we help them and their families navigate tremendous life changes. This week’s article gives us a solid big-picture review of what we know (and don’t know) about spinal cord injury rehab. You’ll learn about commonly used assessments, as well as which treatments are gaining traction (and which ones aren’t.) And, most importantly, this article serves as a good reminder that there are simply no magical, straightforward an...
