Six studies identified participants with upper limb spasticity. Methodological quality of psychometric properties ranged from poor to excellent. Best evidence synthesis determined moderate positive evidence for using the ARAT with people without limb spasticity: intra-rater reliability (ICC 0.71 (95% CI 0.53–0.89) to 0.99 (95% CI 0.98, 0.99)); responsiveness (ROC curve 0.72–0.88, SRM 0.89); and regarding construct validity, it is a valid measure of activity limitation. Limited evidence for psychometric properties of the ARAT were found when used with people with upper limb spasticity for construct validity and responsiveness (ES 0.55–0.78). Gaps in evidence were found for inter and test–retest reliability, measurement error, content validity, structural validity, floor and ceiling effects. Conclusions: The ARAT is an appropriate measure of activity limitation post-stroke and should be considered for use with people with TBI; evidence for people with upper limb spasticity is limited. Gaps and mixed limited to moderate evidence for psychometric properties in neurorehabilitation mean further research is required.]]> Tue 06 Sep 2022 14:25:23 AEST ]]> Subjective memory complaints and difficulty performing activities of daily living among older women in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35750 Thu 30 Jan 2020 17:02:08 AEDT ]]> Content validity of the WorkHab functional capacity evaluation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43372 Thu 15 Sep 2022 15:47:00 AEST ]]> Why do occupational therapists' medico-legal opinions differ regarding the amount of domestic assistance a person requires? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31312 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:43:32 AEDT ]]> A self-directed fieldwork program to provide alternative occupational health placements for undergraduate occupational therapy students https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1893 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:22 AEDT ]]> Injured workers' perspectives of their rehabilitation process under the New South Wales Workers Compensation System https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1601 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:30:39 AEDT ]]> Assessment of the upper limb in acute stroke: the validity of hierarchal scoring for the Motor Assessment Scale https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10048 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:10:15 AEDT ]]> The influence of practice educators on occupational therapy students' understanding of the practical applications of theoretical knowledge: a phenomenological study into student experiences of practice education https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20811 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:58 AEDT ]]> Transition to practice in supercomplex environments: are occupational therapy graduates adequately prepared? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18205 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:43 AEDT ]]> Managing "Generation Y' occupational therapists: optimising their potential https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20187 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:41 AEDT ]]> Adjustment to residential care: the experience of newly admitted residents to hostel accommodation in Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:5609 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:22 AEDT ]]> Predischarge occupational therapy home assessment visits: towards an evidence base https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:4976 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:46:54 AEDT ]]> Occupational therapy students’ technological skills: are ‘generation Y’ ready for 21st century practice? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29657 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:55 AEDT ]]> Upper limb motor training using a Saebo™ orthosis is feasible for increasing task-specific practice in hospital after stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29541 TM device in a subacute stroke setting to increase task-specific practice for people with little or no active hand movement. The secondary aim was to collect preliminary data comparing hand/upper limb function between a control group that received usual rehabilitation and an intervention group that used, in addition, the Saebo-FlexTM device. Methods: Nine inpatients (mean three months (median six weeks) post-stroke) participated in this feasibility study conducted in an Australian rehabilitation setting, using a randomised pre-test and post-test design with concealed allocation and blinded outcome assessment. In addition to usual rehabilitation, the intervention group received eight weeks of daily motor training using the Saebo-FlexTM device. The control group received usual rehabilitation (task-specific motor training) only. Participants were assessed at baseline (pre-randomisation) and at the end of the eight-week study period. Feasibility was assessed with respect to ease of recruitment, application of the device, compliance with the treatment programme and safety. Secondary outcome measures included the Motor Assessment Scale (upper limb items), Box and Block Test, grip strength and the Stroke Impact Scale. Results: Recruitment to the study was very slow because of the low number of patients with little or no active hand movement. Otherwise, the study was feasible in terms of being able to apply the Saebo-FlexTM device and compliance with the treatment programme. There were no adverse events, and a greater amount of upper limb rehabilitation was provided to the intervention group. While there were trends in favour of the intervention group, particularly for dexterity, no between-group differences were seen for any of the secondary outcomes. Conclusions: This pilot feasibility study showed that the use of assistive technology, specifically the Saebo-FlexTM device, could be successfully used in a sample of stroke patients with little or no active hand movement. However, recruitment to the trial was very slow. The use of the Saebo-FlexTM device had variable results on outcomes, with some positive trends seen in hand function, particularly dexterity.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:33:12 AEDT ]]> Regional and remote occupational therapy: a preliminary exploration of private occupational therapy practice https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28705 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:30:09 AEDT ]]> A behavioural weight-loss programme for overweight and obese adults with serious mental health illness significantly reduced weight over an 18-month period https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23247 The New England Journal of Medicine, doi: 10.1056/NEJMoa1214530]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:03 AEDT ]]> The impact of 'Generation Y' occupational therapy students on practice education https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23605 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:29 AEDT ]]> Scoring the home falls and accidents screening tool for health professionals (HOME FAST-HP): Evidence from one epidemiological study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47596 Mon 23 Jan 2023 14:56:34 AEDT ]]> Exploring the use of powered mobility devices and occupational participation for people with obesity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53786 Mon 15 Jan 2024 10:37:42 AEDT ]]> Occupational therapy intervention addressing weight gain and obesity in people with severe mental illness: a scoping review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41858 Mon 15 Aug 2022 10:33:22 AEST ]]> Simulated versus traditional occupational therapy placements: A randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41314 Mon 01 Aug 2022 13:54:26 AEST ]]> Reliability of the Australian Therapy Outcome Measures for Occupational Therapy (AusTOMs-OT) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41281 Mon 01 Aug 2022 10:24:36 AEST ]]> Injured workers' perspectives of their rehabilitation process under the New South Wales Workers Compensation System https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:571 Fri 21 Mar 2014 11:16:37 AEDT ]]> Occupational therapy for military personnel and military veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder: A scoping review https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41825 Fri 12 Aug 2022 12:52:18 AEST ]]>
