  • #76: OT and Pediatric Constipation with Quiara Smith
    Mar 21 2024

    I’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 interdisciplinary approach to pediatric constipation can look like.

    Then, we are excited to welcome to the podcast, Quiara Smith, an OT who owns a pediatric pelvic health practice. Her and I will discuss the practical implications from this article for your OT practice.

  • #75: Knowledge Translation and OT with Tim Dionne
    Mar 7 2024

    It 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 knowledge translation, and the need for innovation in this field.

    Next week, we’ll welcome Tim Dionne, PhD, OTR/L to the podcast. His research emphasis is on supporting therapists providing quality care, through knowledge dissemination and dissemination and implementation research methods.

  • #74: Finger Prosthetics and OT with Haley Van Escobar
    Feb 22 2024

    The 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 closely to your own clients and their needs in this area. 

    Next week on the podcast, we’ll welcome Haley Van Escobar. Haley has her own hand therapy private practice and works for a digital prosthetic company. You’ll learn how she landed this job, and what the average OT needs to know about this rapidly advancing space.
