Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

As a registered and licensed occupational therapist, I completed a six-week evidence based research study to determine the effects of occupation-based intervention and therapeutic exercises versus therapeutic exercises alone.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Importance: There is a need for evidence to support occupation-based intervention (OBI) for older adults with shoulder osteoarthritis (OA).

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of OBI on function in older adults with shoulder OA compared to therapeutic exercise (TE).

Design: Randomized controlled trial. Six-week intervention. 1-week and 4-week follow-up.

Setting: Outpatient clinic. Participants: Ten older adults with diagnosis of shoulder OA via convenience sampling.

Intervention: Participants were seen two times/week for six weeks. The OBI group completed 30 minutes of TE followed by 30 minutes of OBI. The TE group completed 60 minutes of TE.

Outcome and Measures: Functional outcomes were assessed at pre-, 1-week post, and 4-weeks posttreatment using the QuickDASH as the primary outcome measure.

Collecting and placing items in cabinets, washing windows and tables, and hanging clothes on a clothesline.

Therapeutic Exercise Control Group

Sixty-minute occupational therapy sessions were completed two times a week for six weeks consisting of therapeutic exercise only.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Therapeutic Exercise

Intervention Type PROCEDURE
