Abstract
  • The aim of this capstone project was to gain advanced clinical practice skills in the orthopedic setting as well as to advocate for the use of blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT) in occupational therapy (OT) to support occupational performance of clients. Overall objectives included the creation of a BFRT factsheet, completion of a CEU course, creation of a survey and data analysis sheet, session observations and case study development, and presentation on evidence based BFRT topics following the creation of an educational PowerPoint. Partnership sites included Huntington University (Fort Wayne, IN) and Parkview Randallia Outpatient Clinic (Fort Wayne, IN). Outcomes include an in-depth knowledge in the application of BFRT and an in-depth knowledge in advocacy skills related to BFRT. Deliverables included the creation of a BFRT related practitioner factsheet, the completion of 3 BFRT CEU courses, creation of a data analysis info-sheet based on survey results (in addition to a manuscript paper), 4 BFRT designed case studies, and a presentation of an evidence-based PowerPoint that included a created demonstration video. Many patients who seek OT services have a desire to increase their occupational performance. Project completion has resulted in the development of clinical skills related to BFRT that can assist patients in returning to their prior level of functioning with increased independence. Additionally, more OTs and OT students have been introduced to this intervention approach to help further spread its relevance within OT.
