Brain Gains: A Review of Remediation Treatment Strategies Using Exercise Following Traumatic Brain Injury
No full textIn this Opinions in the Profession article, we explore remediation treatment strategies using exercise for recovery from post-traumatic brain injury and aim to justify the use of such treatment in the occupational therapy profession to increase skills for functional gain. Common treatment strategies used by occupational therapists after brain injury are compensatory strategies, indicating the client learns a new way to perform the task. Though effective, it is also necessary to consider how remediation and neuroplasticity are essential. Teaching new approaches to complete tasks results in functional gains; however, focusing on foundational skills using exercises to relearn motor patterns to perform the task the way the client did previously is crucial for neuroplasticity. Occupational therapists have an essential role in gathering and interpreting research to consider how exercises physiologically change the brain, therefore creating the potential for improved function. Our profession has a responsibility to strive beyond compensation. We can change the brain to make gains postinjury, and should persist until we see physiological and functional improvement. The connection between motor function and exercise is well studied; however, this manuscript explores current research and suggests evidence-based treatment strategies to facilitate functional outcomes and remediation after brain injury
We Are All Chile: Representations of Difference in Contemporary Chilean Historical Fiction
No full textA study of the relationship between literature and the current conditions of national life, We Are All Chile explores how artistic expression reflects lived experience. The book travels through figures, symbols, and events in Chilean history from the sixteenth to the end of the nineteenth centuries as represented through historical fiction of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, an oeuvre that uses historical stories to reflect upon the challenges of Chilean society post-dictatorship. Contrasting the use of these stories with previous understanding highlights the power of legacies of the dictatorial authoritarian state, particularly as they shape possibilities for the full flourishing of people without regard for their minoritized or disadvantaged identities, such as their sex, sexual orientation, ethnicity, or race.This treatment of Chilean history and culture brings together literature and historiography to offer powerful interpretations of cultural narratives. The focus on varied dimensions of difference illustrates both overlapping representations and distinctive features of each within narratives imagining a more inclusive community. Throughout We Are All Chile, historical narratives and their source material are connected to support the creation of imaginative space for a better and more expansive future. The stories studied highlight the relationships between gender, empire, and the body; performances of race and gender that evoke a utopian dream of coexistence; symbols and systems of the nation as reflections of authoritarian practices; the legibility of the claims of indigenous communities; the role of violence in community building; and the strategies of lament inherent in the repeated stories of dreams for a more inclusive future shattered on the structures of exclusion. These historical narratives alone cannot change the material conditions in which people live, but they can awaken hope for the future that can inspire change. And it is this very process of defending, questioning, challenging, and changing historical stories that opens the door to possibility.https://digitalcommons.whitworth.edu/faculty_books/1170/thumbnail.jp
Summer School: The experience of an occupational therapy student exploring culture in Spokane!
No full textThis zine illustrates my experience in this OTD 721 Cultural Responsiveness class, led by Dr. Kirkpatrick. The class took place in the summer of 2025. It was absolutely inspiring, and I wanted to be able to share my takeaways and learnings from my experiences in this class. Culture is so relevant to the field of occupational therapy (OT) because occupations are often shaped by culture, OT cannot be truly client-centered without respective culture. Not only did this class help me grow as a future occupational therapist practitioner, but it also helped me grow as a person. It showed me the significance of asking questions and learning others\u27 stories. My hope for this zine is to help others discover what I\u27ve learned, and possibly be encouraged to explore their own communities and learn, as I did, through connection and experience.
Theme: cultural responsiveness
