Abstract
The Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) Model is one of several occupation-based models in occupational therapy. The model describes the transactional nature of person, environment, and occupation factors that support performance (doing), participation (engagement), and well-being (health and quality of life). The purpose of this study was to explore the extent and nature of evidence on the PEOP Model. We used a scoping review to identify and analyze journal articles that used the PEOP Model as a framework for study. The PRISMA extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) criteria were used to develop the research methods. We found 109 articles that adopted the PEOP Model as an organizing framework. The studies reviewed represent the breadth of occupational therapy practice and the transactional nature of person, environment, occupation, and performance in the PEOP Model. The PEOP Model is a useful international framework for research and practice across populations, conditions, life circumstances, settings, and areas of practice.

Changes in cortical grey matter volume with Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance intervention in children with developmental coordination disorder.

Abstract
Introduction Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is a cognitive-based, task-specific intervention recommended for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). We recently showed structural and functional brain changes after CO-OP, including increased cerebellar grey matter. This study aimed to determine whether CO-OP intervention induced changes in cortical grey matter volume in children with DCD, and if these changes were associated with improvements in motor performance and movement quality. Methods This study is part of a randomized waitlist-control trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02597751). Children with DCD (N = 78) were randomized to either a treatment or waitlist group and underwent three MRIs over 6 months. The treatment group received intervention (once weekly for 10 weeks) between the first and second scan; the waitlist group received intervention between the second and third scan. Cortical grey matter volume was measured using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). Behavioral outcome measures included the Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) and Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 (BOT-2). Of the 78 children, 58 were excluded (mostly due to insufficient data quality), leaving a final N = 20 for analyses. Due to the small sample size, we combined both groups to examine treatment effects. Cortical grey matter volume differences were assessed using a repeated measures ANOVA, controlling for total intracranial volume. Regression analyses examined the relationship of grey matter volume changes to BOT-2 (motor performance) and PQRS (movement quality). Results After CO-OP, children had significantly decreased grey matter in the right superior frontal gyrus and middle/posterior cingulate gyri. We found no significant associations of grey matter volume changes with PQRS or BOT-2 scores. Conclusion Decreased cortical grey matter volume generally reflects greater brain maturity. Decreases in grey matter volume after CO-OP intervention were in regions associated with self-regulation and motor control, consistent with our other studies. Decreased grey matter volume may be due to focal increases in synaptic pruning, perhaps as a result of strengthening networks in the brain via the repeated learning and actions in therapy. Findings from this study add to the growing body of literature demonstrating positive neuroplastic changes in the brain after CO-OP intervention.

PARKINSON'S DISEASE 2024; 2024:9465326. [PMID: 38716035 PMCID: PMC11074914 DOI: 10.1155/2024/9465326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 05/12/2024]
Abstract
Background Goal setting is a core rehabilitation practice in Parkinson's disease (PD). Targeting therapy towards specific goals leads to greater improvements in performance and psychosocial outcomes. Goal setting in PD is feasible, and although the nature of goals has been described in previous studies, the underlying impairments related to goals have not been described. Understanding the nature of goals ensures that interventions for people with PD are aligned with their needs and priorities. Understanding the underlying impairments highlights which symptoms have the biggest impact on daily life and is necessary for planning appropriate interventions to target them. Aim To describe the nature of the goals of people with PD; the underlying impairments related to goals; and to compare differences between high and low priority goals. Method Deductive content analysis was used to map goal statements to the international classification of function (ICF) activity and participation category and to map therapist field notes detailing the primary underlying impairment to the ICF Body Functions category. These results were then compared across goal priority rankings. Results 88 goals of 22 people with PD were analysed. We found that people with PD set diverse goals across all chapters of the ICF Activity and Participation category, with "self-care" goals making up the highest proportion of goals. The primary underlying impairment related to the goals was predominantly related to impairments in "mental functions" under the Body Functions category. Regardless of goal priority, most goal-related underlying impairments were found to be in the "mental functions" category. Conclusion The goals of this sample of community-dwelling people with PD highlight their diverse needs and priorities. These findings indicate that nonmotor symptoms, namely, executive dysfunction and amotivation most commonly impact the performance of and participation in activities of greatest importance to people with PD. This trial is registered with ACTRN12621001483842.

Abstract
This study aiming to compare the effectiveness of Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) and Conductive Education (CE) approaches on motor skills, activity limitation and participation restrictions in children with Down Syndrome (DS). Twelwe children were randomly assigned into two groups. Twelve-week CO-OP or CE intervention (period-1) followed by a 12-week washout period. Same interventions were crossed over for another 12 weeks (period-2). The Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS), Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and the Bruininks Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition-Brief Form (BOT2-BF) were used for outcome measurements. CO-OP was effective in the improvement of task-specific activity performance, while both approaches have similar effects on the improvement of perceived performance, satisfaction, and motor skills performance.

Abstract
Chronic disease prevention, health, and wellness have become primary practice areas for occupational therapy. Occupational therapists (OTs) in pain rehabilitation are established as essential members of comprehensive and multidisciplinary pain management teams, focusing on increasing occupational performance through participation. This study's purpose was to investigate OTs' experiences managing chronic pain and to explore OTs' effectiveness in supporting clients' wellness and occupational performance through interventions. Eleven OTs (n = 11) participated with three themes emerging on chronic pain, interventions, and holistic teams. Findings suggest that OTs are successful at treating chronic pain, supporting wellness and occupational performance when their interventions are health-promoting, and clients are enabled to take an active role in their chronic pain management. This study demonstrates the critical impact OTs can have in multidisciplinary teams on clients' outcomes, such as increased occupational performance, wellness, and quality of life (QOL) through engagement in meaningful occupations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION With the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach, children with developmental coordination disorder learn to use a problem-solving strategy to deal with their motor difficulties and perform daily activities of their choice. Therapists use guided discovery to enable children to find their own solutions. Although CO-OP is recommended in a group setting, studies are needed to support its effectiveness. METHODS AND ANALYSIS A single-case study design with multiple baselines across participants and four systematic replications will be used. In each of the five groups, four children (aged 8-12 years) will be randomly included at the baseline. The baseline includes 5-8 measurements, and the CO-OP intervention stage is comprised of 10 sessions. The follow-up stage includes five measurements. Prior to baseline, each child in each of the five groups will choose five activities of which three will be carried out during the intervention sessions. Children's performance in each of these activities will be scored using the Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) as the main measure. Three secondary measures will be collected: perceived activity performance using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure, quality of life using the Kidscreen-27 and spontaneous motor rhythm using a computerised typing task. Graphed data will be analysed visually at the individual level with the Visual Aid Implying an Objective Rule (VAIOR) protocol which provides a colour code based on the level and trend of two consecutive phases, facilitating an objective visual analysis. Statistics will be performed for PQRS scores at the individual level and at the group level. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The protocol has been approved by the Comité de protection des personnes Sud-Est I (CPP 2021070) and the Comité d'éthique de la recherche avec les êtres humains de l'Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (CER-22-294-07.03). Results will be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05231486.

Abstract
Background. Parkinson's disease (PD) leads to cognitive dysfunction which limits participation and occupational performance. Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach is effective in other adult neurological populations and warrants investigation in PD. Purpose. To describe a study protocol evaluating the preliminary efficacy and feasibility of CO-OP approach in PD. Method. A randomised controlled trial (RCT) with adults with PD was assigned to either: CO-OP training-intensive (CO-OP-I, 20 sessions) or waitlist control (WLC) followed by CO-OP-standard (CO-OP-S, 10 sessions). Outcomes. Occupational performance and satisfaction of adults with PD in chosen goals. Measures will be obtained at baseline, post-intervention, and 3-month follow-up. Implications. As the first RCT focused on CO-OP in PD, this trial will provide evidence for the potential of this approach in PD and lay the groundwork for future large-scale trials. Trial Registration. Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials registry, ACTRN12621001483842. Registered November 1, 2021; retrospectively registered 3 months after commencement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple sclerosis is the most important cause of non-injury-related disability in young adults. The disease has unknown causes and distresses and affects daily activities. While therapeutic interventions mainly focus on body function and structure to reduce impairment, Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is a cognitive approach that provides intervention at the level of activity and participation. PURPOSE We aim to examine the effects of CO-OP approach on fatigue, quality of life, occupational performance, and satisfaction in people living with multiple sclerosis; and to examine whether they could transfer strategies and skills learned during CO-OP to untrained goals. METHODS A pre-post design was used. Assessment tools included Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale, Fatigue Impact Scale and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Six individuals living with multiple sclerosis participated in 10 CO-OP sessions twice a week. The sessions were held in an environment of the participants' choice, along with an extra session added to determine the goals. The study was registered in the ethics committee of University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences (IR.USWR.REC.1399.089). RESULTS The performance improved (2-point positive change) in 12 out of 18 trained goals and in three out of six untrained goals (self-report). The improvement was maintained at a 3-month follow-up assessment. There was a statistically significant difference in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (χ2 = 11.565, p = 0.003 same for performance and satisfaction scores), Fatigue Impact Scale (χ2 = 7.000, p = 0.030), and Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale scores over time (χ2 = 9.478, p = 0.009) respectively. CONCLUSION The CO-OP approach has the potential to improve daily activity performance, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life for people living with multiple sclerosis. A definitive randomised controlled trial is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A need was identified for an occupational therapy intervention for stroke survivors in a Danish municipal healthcare setting with emphasis on its ability to transfer and generalise what is learned in occupational therapy to everyday life post therapy. Being a possible candidate, the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach needed to be adapted to the target group and context, and its feasibility needed examination regarding reach, dose, intervention components, fidelity, perceived value, benefits, harms, and potential outcomes. AIM To adapt the CO-OP to a Danish healthcare setting and present a protocol for examining its feasibility. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Adapting interventions to new contexts (ADAPT) guidance was followed to (1) Assess the rationale for intervention and consider intervention-context fit, (2) Plan and undertake adaptations, and (3) Plan a feasibility study. RESULTS Intervention materials and procedures were translated and adapted for home-based occupational therapy with people in the subacute phase of stroke. A protocol was developed to examine feasibility aspects. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations were planned and measurements chosen. CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE The planned feasibility study will contribute to further developing and refining the intervention before performing a possible large-scale effectiveness study.

Abstract
Dysgraphia is highly prevalent in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and adversely affects academic and developmental trajectories. To date, no study has rigorously examined the effects of a training program on handwriting quality in this specific population. Our objective was thus to develop an innovative program - we entitled PRO-PEN - and to evaluate its effects. We planned a multiple-baseline design across participants from grade 3-5, with direct inter-subject and systematic replications. Children of Group 1 (n = 4) were diagnosed with ADHD. Systematic replication was conducted in a second group of participants (Group 2, n = 4) with a diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder in addition to ADHD. The primary assessment focused on quality of handwriting. Generalization measures evaluated diverse neuropsychological and behavioural domains. In Group 1, effect sizes regarding handwriting quality were large (Taus > .60). Improvement was also observed for children of Group 2 (Taus > .50). Importantly, the positive effects persisted three months after the end of the training. Generalization effects extended beyond handwriting sphere. Therefore, PRO-PEN can be considered a promising training program for improving handwriting quality in ADHD, with a possible impact on wide cerebral regulation loops underpinning both handwriting and other neuropsychological and behavioural domains.

Abstract
Objective To examine the scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness of the Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Data Sources Selected articles published between January 2001 and September 2020 and listed in CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PsycINFO on the EBSCO platform, or found searching with Scopus, Google Scholar, OTseekern Central Register of Controlled Trials in the Cochrane Library, WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform, Turning Research into Practice, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. An update was performed in March 2022. Study Selection Eligibility criteria included studies that assessed the effectiveness of the CO-OP approach on children (0-18 years) with NDDs. Unpublished results were excluded, as well as research published in a language other than English or French. Data Selection The first 2 authors independently reviewed the titles, abstracts, and full texts. Discrepancies were discussed and resolved by consensus. Included studies were quality appraised using the PEDro-P scale or using the risk of bias scale in N-of-1 trials (RoBiNT) according to experimental design. Data Synthesis Results were reported following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Eighteen studies were initially included, with 2 additional studies added in the update. Three reached evidence level III (15%), 10 reached level IV (70%), and 5 reached level V (15%). All data collected on the activity-participation domain showed a significant improvement. Group therapy sessions show promising results for the improvement of activities or participation, as well as psychosocial dimensions such as self-esteem. Conclusions The scientific evidence analyzed shows that the CO-OP approach has a positive effect on children with NDDs, particularly in regard to their activities and participation. Future experimental studies should be designed in ways that allow determining effect sizes. Group therapy sessions appear relevant but require further research.

Abstract
PURPOSE Children with cerebral palsy (CP) or spina bifida (SB) often have executive dysfunction affecting activity performance. With the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach, children find their own way to perform activities, using problem-solving strategies and meta-cognitive thinking. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the CO-OP Approach in children with CP or SB, compared with conventional rehabilitation, in achieving self-identified activity goals, and to explore any generalization and transfer effects. METHOD Randomized controlled trial, CO-OP versus treatment as usual, 38 children (7-16 years) participated. Each child identified four goals (to study generalization and transfer, one remained untrained). Primary outcomes: Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS). Secondary outcomes assessed executive functions and self-rated everyday-life competence. RESULTS Self-rated goal attainment (COPM) was significantly greater for both trained and untrained goals in the CO-OP group compared with the control group. The rating of observed performance (PQRS) was significantly higher for trained goals in the CO-OP group. The CO-OP group experienced fewer problems in everyday life after treatment. Executive functions did not differ significantly between groups. CONCLUSION CO-OP is more effective than ordinary treatment in achieving both trained and untrained goals.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONCO-OP enables children with CP (MACS levels I-III) or SB without intellectual disabilities to reach self-identified goals.CO-OP shows transfer effects to new activities and situations, which may enhance children's self-efficacy.CO-OP is an important complement to conventional rehabilitation services for children with CP and SB.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE In-home therapy provides the opportunity for rehabilitation intervention to be completed in the context of the patient's natural environment. However, most studies have focused on the effects of physical exercise, leaving a gap in understanding the effectiveness of a more task-oriented intervention that addresses individual preferences. OBJECTIVE To assess the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational PerformanceTM (CO-OP) approach, delivered at home with older adults after a hip fracture to improve functional outcomes. DESIGN Single-arm quasi-experimental design. SETTING Patients' home. PARTICIPANTS Nine participants (age ≥60 yr) being discharged home from an inpatient rehabilitation ward in a geriatric hospital in a central city in Israel. INTERVENTION Up to 10 1-hr weekly face-to-face sessions in using the CO-OP approach. OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was used to measure performance and satisfaction with the patients' level of participation in daily functioning. RESULTS A 30% recruitment rate, an 81% retention rate, were observed, with 88% of the participants expressing high to very high overall satisfaction with the intervention. Friedman test results indicated statistically significant improvements in occupational performance and satisfaction on trained and untrained goals (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The findings suggest that a home-based CO-OP intervention is feasible and potentially beneficial for older adults who are returning home after a hip fracture. What This Article Adds: This study shows that a task-oriented intervention can be effective in helping older adults return home successfully after a hip fracture.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a significant gap in knowledge about rehabilitation techniques and strategies that can help children and young people with hyperkinetic movement disorders (HMD) including dystonia to successfully perform daily activities and improve overall participation. A promising approach to support skill acquisition is the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) intervention. CO-OP uses cognitive strategies to help patients generate their own solutions to overcome self-identified problems encountered in everyday living. PURPOSE 1. To identify and categorize strategies used by children with HMD to support skill acquisition during CO-OP; 2. To review the possible underlying mechanisms that might contribute to the cognitive strategies, in order to facilitate further studies for developing focused rehabilitation approaches. METHODS A secondary analysis was performed on video-recorded data from a previous study exploring the efficacy of CO-OP for childhood onset HMD, in which CO-OP therapy sessions were delivered by a single occupational therapist. For the purpose of this study, we reviewed a total of 40 randomly selected hours of video footage of CO-OP sessions delivered to six participants (age 6-19 years) over ten intervention sessions. An observational recording sheet was applied to identify systematically the participants' or therapist's verbalizations of cognitive strategies during the therapy. The strategies were classified into six categories in line with published literature. RESULTS Strategies used by HMD participants included distraction, externally focussed attention, internally focussed attention, emotion self-regulation, motor imagery and mental self-guidance. We postulate different underlying working mechanisms for these strategies, which have implications for the therapeutic management of children and young people with HMD including dystonia. CONCLUSIONS Cognitive strategy training can fundamentally change and improve motor performance. On-going work will address both the underlying neural mechanisms of therapeutic change and the mediators and moderators that influence how change unfolds.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine if Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance was effective in improving performance and transfer of motor learning in children with developmental coordination disorder (with/without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder); and whether outcomes were maintained three months post-intervention. DESIGN Randomized waitlist-control trial (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02597751). SETTING BC Children's Hospital, Vancouver, Canada. SUBJECTS Thirty-seven children with developmental coordination disorder and 41 children with co-occurring attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (all 8-12 years), randomized to treatment or waitlist groups. INTERVENTIONS One-hour of intervention once weekly for 10 weeks. MAIN MEASURES (1) Canadian Occupational Performance Measure to measure self-perceived performance of motor goals (10-point scale); (2) Performance Quality Rating Scale to measure therapist-observed movement quality (10-point scale); and (3) Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency - 2nd ed. to measure overall motor skill ability/transfer of motor learning (percentile). RESULTS Both groups showed significant improvement (p < 0.001) in motor performance (developmental coordination disorder: pre: 2.7 ± 2.2, post: 7.0 ± 1.0; developmental coordination disorder with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: pre: 2.3 ± 1.7, post: 7.0 ± 1.5) and movement quality (developmental coordination disorder: pre: 3.0 ± 1.5, post: 6.3 ± 1.7; developmental coordination disorder with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: pre: 3.0 ± 1.9, post: 5.7 ± 2.3). Three months after treatment, children maintained their gains, but only children with developmental coordination disorder showed transfer of learning to overall motor skills (pre:12 ± 15, post:12 ± 12, follow-up:14 ± 20, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Intervention was similarly effective for children with developmental coordination disorder with/without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in achieving and maintaining functional motor goals, but only children with developmental coordination disorder showed transfer of learning to other motor skills.

Abstract
Background: Cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP) is a client-centered treatment approach that was developed in the 1990s by occupational therapists. Purpose: Exploring current evidence about the effectiveness of CO-OP on children with cerebral palsy (CP). Method: Major electronic databases were searched. A narrative synthesis of current literature and meta-analyses on randomized control trials (RCTs) were conducted on changes in occupational performance. Findings: Seven studies with 103 participants were included. Four studies were RCTs with moderate levels of evidence, and three studies had single-subject designs. Although beneficial effects of CO-OP on goal achievement and transferring learned skills were reported, meta-analyses showed that CO-OP had no significant effect on the performance (WMD = 1.52, 95% CI = -1.58 to 4.63, P = .33) and satisfaction domains (WMD = 1.71, 95% CI = -1.14 to 4.57, P = .24) of Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores compared to alternative interventions. Implications: CO-OP improves occupational performance but not more than alternative interventions. Results are inconclusive due to small sample sizes and heterogeneity of alternative interventions and participants. Therefore, research with a larger number of participants with sound RCT methods is needed.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Occupational therapy using an Ayres Sensory Integration® (ASI) approach is a common intervention that has not been extensively studied in children with idiopathic sensory processing and integration challenges (e.g., without a diagnosis of autism). OBJECTIVE To test the effectiveness of ASI using measures related to motor coordination and functional performance in children with a sensory-based motor disorder (SBMD). DESIGN Nonconcurrent, multiple baseline, single subject. SETTING Outpatient clinic that was part of a children's hospital in an urban setting. PARTICIPANTS Three boys (ages 5-8 yr) with an SBMD. INTERVENTION Each participant received ASI 3 times per week for 10 wk. Outcomes and Measures: Three motor probes were measured weekly. Pre- and posttest assessments included goal attainment scaling (GAS) and the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition (BOT-2). RESULTS All 3 participants showed improvements in motor probes during the intervention period on the basis of a 2 SD band method of analysis. Statistically significant improvements were noted across GAS goals, and positive changes were found on the BOT-2, with large effect sizes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Findings suggest improved motor performance and high goal achievement using ASI for children with idiopathic sensory processing and integration challenges. What This Article Adds: This study adds to a body of literature suggesting that ASI is effective in increasing functional performance in children with sensory processing and integration challenges. Future studies using multiple baseline designs are feasible in the clinic setting and can help build the evidence base for ASI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Personal Energy Planning is a problem-solving based programme that guides people receiving maintenance haemodialysis treatment to use energy management strategies to address life participation challenges. The feasibility of training dialysis clinicians to become Personal Energy Planning coaches (i.e., programme administrators) is currently unknown. OBJECTIVES To explore the feasibility of training dialysis clinicians to administer the Personal Energy Planning programme. DESIGN Feasibility study involving an adherence evaluation of two trained dialysis clinician coaches' problem-solving facilitation skills, and one qualitative interview with each coach. PARTICIPANTS Two Personal Energy Planning coaches with nursing backgrounds who administered the programme to 10 patients receiving maintenance haemodialysis treatment over a total of 34 sessions. APPROACH Audio recordings of one session per treatment recipient (n = 10) were evaluated using an established treatment adherence checklist. The proportion of treatment sessions where the item was observed by two adherence raters was calculated. In addition, coaches were interviewed about their experiences learning and administering the programme; interviews were analysed using inductive thematic analysis. FINDINGS Some core facilitation skills (e.g., patient-centred goal setting and analysis of performance breakdowns) were consistently used; however, other facilitation skills (e.g., guided discovery and global problem-solving strategy) were not regularly implemented. The coaches discussed challenges (e.g., supporting patient problem-solving and fluctuating patient health) with administering the intervention. Certain training resources (e.g., coaching handbook and expert consultation) were identified as valuable to their learning. CONCLUSIONS With modifications to training materials, it might be feasible to train dialysis clinicians to administer Personal Energy Planning with people receiving maintenance haemodialysis treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is recommended for its effectiveness in improving activity performance in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Since parental support is a key element in CO-OP, parental coaching seems relevant to be investigated. AIMS Compare the efficacy of the CO-OP Approach with and without additional parental coaching to improve activity and participation in children with DCD. METHODS AND PROCEDURES Randomized clinical trial with 7-12-years-old children with DCD, randomly assigned to experimental (E-group) or active control (AC-group) groups, with 11 children each. Both groups received traditional CO-OP, E-group received four additional parental group-coaching sessions. Occupational performance and satisfaction on intervention goals were measured at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up. Participation, motor performance and executive function were assessed at baseline and post-intervention. OUTCOMES AND RESULTS CO-OP with and without additional parental coaching resulted in improved occupational performance according to children, parents, and external evaluators. Children showed statistically significant gains in motor performance and cognitive flexibility. Participation measures did not change. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS As coaching did not add additional gains, parent's required participation in CO-OP might be enough to support children's occupational performance.

The Relative Merits of an Individualized Versus a Generic Approach to Rating Functional Performance in Childhood Dystonia. CHILDREN-BASEL 2020; 8:children8010007.

Abstract
Aims. The Performance Quality Rating Scale (PQRS) is an observational measure that captures performance at the level of activity and participation. Developed for use with the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP), it is a highly individualized approach to measurement. CO-OP is currently being studied in childhood-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders (HMD) and deep brain stimulation. The purpose of this study was to compare two different approaches to rating performance, generic (PQRS-G) and individualized (PQRS-I), for children with childhood-onset hyperkinetic movement disorders (HMD) including dystonia. Method. Videotaped activity performances, pre and post intervention were independently scored by two blind raters using PQRS-G PQRS-I. Results were examined to determine if the measures identified differences in e performance on goals chosen by the participants and on change scores after intervention. Dependent t-tests were used to compare performance and change scores. Results. The two approaches to rating both have moderate correlations (all data: 0.764; baseline: 0.677; post-intervention: 0.725) and yielded some different results in capturing performance. There was a significant difference in scores at pre-intervention between the two approaches to rating, even though post-intervention score mean difference was not significantly different. The PQRS-I had a wider score range, capturing wider performance differences, and greater change between baseline and post-intervention performances for children and young people with dystonic movement. Conclusions. Best practice in rehabilitation requires the use of outcome measures that optimally captures performance and performance change for children and young people with dystonic movement. When working with clients with severe motor-performance deficits, PQRS-I appears to be the better approach to capturing performance and performance changes.

Abstract
Throughout the years, leaders in the profession have challenged us to affirm the value of occupational therapy and to substantiate what we do. Occupational therapy practitioners have always focused on what most matters to clients in what is now called client-centered or patient-centered practice. We have also focused on client function to enable participation in everyday life. In a welcome shift, society's views about health and meaning-making are becoming more congruent with the long-standing ideals of occupational therapy. Now, more than ever, we have a powerful opportunity to communicate our competence. But how do we assert our competence and the complexity of occupation with confidence? This lecture draws on the conceptual foundations of theories about competence and confidence and provides examples from the research literature, and a practitioner and client narrative to illustrate the factors that enable us to effectively demonstrate the value of occupational therapy.

Abstract
Introduction Fatigue is a highly common symptom of end-stage renal disease, interferes with occupational engagement, and is a top research priority of patients. The objective of this project was to develop an energy management education program that would meet the needs of people with end-stage renal disease and to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the acceptability and usability of the program. Methods We used the World Health Organization’s health education planning framework to guide the intervention development process. We systematically assessed the needs of people with end-stage renal disease related to energy management education, and transformed them into program objectives. Based on these findings, we designed a program that would (a) improve occupational engagement in people with end-stage renal disease; (b) be feasible; and (c) build on existing energy management education and health education literature. Finally, we conducted qualitative interviews about the program with four key informants and conducted usability testing with five target end-users. Findings: The Personal Energy Planning program combines an established problem-solving approach with three brief web modules on energy management. Preliminary testing suggested the program was acceptable to stakeholders and was usable by the target population. Conclusions Future research should explore the effects of the program on fatigue and occupational engagement in people with end-stage renal disease.

Abstract
Background: The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach, top-down, client-centered and goal-oriented approach originally developed for children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) in 2001 and since used in other populations and settings. The purpose of this scoping review was to examine the extent (number) and nature (features and characteristics) of the literature on CO-OP in adult’s populations. Methods: In this scoping review, 8 online databases were searched up to April 2018 to identify articles that addressed CO-OP in adult’s populations. The articles were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Two raters reviewed all documents independently. Articles were categorized according to diagnosis. Results: Fifteen studies were identified. To examine application and effectiveness of CO-OP in adult’s populations we included individuals with chronic stroke (>6 months post-stroke; n=7), with TBI (n=3), with acute stroke (<6 months post-stroke; n=4) and the older adult populations comprised those with self-reported cognitive difficulties but no diagnosis of dementia, depression, or cognitive impairment (n=1). In all cases, CO-OP showed to be useful and efficient. Conclusion: CO-OP has been applied in TBI, stroke and age-related executive changes appropriately. The results have shown that CO-OP efficiently improved performance and satisfaction in trained and not trained client chosen goals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND. Five stroke rehabilitation teams were supported in the implementation of Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) as part of a knowledge translation (KT) project called CO-OP KT. Medical record auditors noted there was occasionally a disconnect between client goals and treatment plans, revealing a need to better understand the characteristics of each and their relationship to each other. PURPOSE. This study aimed to examine the characteristics of goals and treatment plans in occupational therapy before and after CO-OP KT. METHOD. A descriptive secondary analysis of medical record data was employed. FINDINGS. Post intervention, there was a change in goal specificity (p = .04) and therapist-client goal alignment (p = .05). Occupation-based goals were often paired with a bottom-up, impairment-based treatment. Top-down treatments, when present, lacked the same detail given to bottom-up plans. IMPLICATIONS. CO-OP KT seemed to lead to more specific goals, but matching top-down treatment plans were not found.

Effectiveness of a tele-rehabilitation intervention to improve performance and reduce morbidity for people post hip fracture - study protocol for a randomized controlled trial. BMC Geriatr 2019; 19:135. [PMID: 31109289 PMCID: PMC6528189 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-019-1141-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2017] [Accepted: 04/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Most surviving hip-fracture patients experience reduced mobility and lose some of their functional ability, which increases the risk of complications and rehospitalization. Post-discharge transitional programs to reduce readmissions and disabilities have shown some success. Telerehabilitation refers to the use of technologies to provide rehabilitation services to people in their homes. Considering the need for long-term follow-up care for people with hip fracture, in-home telerehabilitation could increase independence, decrease hospital stays and reduce the burden for caregivers. The objective of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of an intervention program based on telerehabilitation on activities of daily living (ADL), quality of life (QOL), depression and burden on caregivers compared to face-to-face home visits and usual care of community-dwelling older adults after hip fracture. METHODS/DESIGN This will be a three-armed randomized control trial (RCT) including pre/post intervention and follow-up. The trial will include 90 older people with hip fractures who will be randomly assigned to a telerehabilitation group (N = 30), face-to-face visits (N = 30) and a control group. The aim of the intervention is to improve the transition from rehabilitation units to community dwelling. It will include 10 videoconferencing/ face-to-face sessions from an occupational therapist in the presence of the primary caregiver. Each session will be utilized to guide the participants to achieve their self-identified goals, focusing on problem-solving for daily life situations and on the ability to implement the discussed strategies for a variety of activities. Outcome measures include Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for evaluation of ADL, SF-12 for evaluation of Health-related QOL, The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and The Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale. Data will be analyzed using Repeated measures MANOVA. DISCUSSION The current study will enable the cost-effectiveness examination of a suggested rehabilitation service based on available technology. The proposed intervention will increase accessibility of in-home rehabilitation services, improve function and health, and reduce economic burden. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT03376750 (12/15/2017).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe and compare changes in participation over a 9-year period in women and men with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). To compare participation restrictions with available reference values from a typical aging population living in the community. DESIGN Descriptive longitudinal design comparing data from baseline (2002) with data from follow-up (2011). SETTING Neuromuscular clinic and participant's home. PARTICIPANTS Adults with DM1 participated in the follow-up study (N=115). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE The Assessment of Life Habits measured participation in 10 domains of daily and social activities. The minimal clinically important difference is 0.5 on a 10-point scale for participation accomplishment level. RESULTS A total of 62% of participants were women, and the mean age was 52.3±10.3 years. A decline (P<.01) was observed with increasing difficulty and assistance required in global participation (mean ± SD, -0.5±0.9), social activities subscore (-0.6±1.2), nutrition (-0.7±1.4), fitness (-1.0±1.6), personal care (-0.7±1.2), mobility (-0.5±1.9), community life (-0.8±1.9), and recreation (-1.5±3.0). More life areas are disrupted over time: 8 domains were below reference values from a population aged 55-64 years at follow-up compared with 2 domains at baseline. Satisfaction with participation remains high and stable over time. CONCLUSION As disease duration increases, global participation and more daily and social domains were restricted with increasing difficulty and assistance required. Adults with DM1 showed not only age-associated but disease-specific changes in participation. Description over time of participation could improve clinical assessment and guide interdisciplinary management of DM1, leading to higher rehabilitation success. Further investigation of the factors influencing changes in participation is required to support disease management and services planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperkinetic movement disorders (HMD) are a heterogeneous group of neurological conditions among which dystonia is the predominant disorder and dyskinetic cerebral palsy the largest secondary dystonia group. Currently, there are no evidence-based, non-medical management options for childhood HMD. The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Approach is a task-oriented, performance-based intervention that focuses on participation. PURPOSE This paper reports the protocol for a proof-of-concept study to assess feasibility and preliminary evidence regarding efficacy of CO-OP for HMD following deep brain stimulation (DBS). METHOD A series of N-of-1 trials with replications will be conducted with children, ages 6 and 21 years with HMD and DBS as indicated by the Manual Ability Classification System. Ten individualized CO-OP sessions, with multiple baselines before, during, and after, will be completed. The primary outcome measures are the Performance Quality Rating Scale and the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills. Outcome data will be plotted over time for each participant and supplemented with graph statistical analysis and effect size estimates. IMPLICATIONS A written protocol will be developed based on evidence and feedback incorporating any changes to the CO-OP intervention for children and young people with HMD, as per the Medical Research Council's Framework for Complex Interventions.

Abstract
Purpose: People with cerebral palsy (CP) or spina bifida (SB) often struggle to perform everyday-life activities. Both groups frequently also have difficulties in creating and using strategies effectively when performing tasks. The cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP) Approach combines the learning of cognitive strategies with task-specific approaches through a client-centred procedure. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the CO-OP Approach is feasible for and potentially beneficial to adolescents and young adults with CP or SB in Sweden by analysing four areas of feasibility (acceptability, efficacy, adaptation, and expansion).Methods: Exploratory multiple-case study using mixed methods. Ten persons aged 16-28, five with each condition, participated in an intervention period. Assessments were performed on three occasions: baseline, post-intervention, and six-month follow-up.Results: The result demonstrates that the CO-OP Approach has the potential to enable adolescents and young adults with either condition to achieve personal goals and to enhance their planning skills and their ability to use strategies when performing activities. This approach is also compatible with the core values of habilitation in Sweden and was found by the participants to be highly meaningful and useful.Conclusions: The CO-OP Approach is feasible for adolescents and young adults with SB or CP in Sweden.Implications for rehabilitationThe Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance• is a feasible approach for adolescents and young adults with spina bifida and with cerebral palsy.• is a promising approach when it comes to enabling the achievement of personal goals.• might have potential to enhance executive functioning through strategy use.• is in line with the fundamental core values of disability rights of inclusion, empowerment, and participation.

Abstract
Background: The CO-OP ApproachTM has been increasingly used in research and practice, yet its critical elements and implementation challenges are largely undescribed. Obtaining therapists' perspectives on CO-OP may reveal insights into potential critical and mediating factors.Aim/Objective: To explore the experiences of CO-OP therapists by understanding their perceptions on the approach compared with conventional practice, and by identifying mediating factors in its implementation.Material and Method: This exploratory study utilized a qualitative descriptive design. A purposive sample of occupational therapists (n = 3) was interviewed. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and themes were validated within a focus group.Results/Findings: Three themes were identified: 'CO-OP works,' 'CO-OP delivery is mediated by contextual factors,' and 'CO-OP shifts the therapeutic approach.' Therapists perceived CO-OP to be efficacious for client-centred goal attainment. Guided discovery and the problem-solving strategy were identified as unique and challenging CO-OP elements. Mediating factors such as level of cognitive impairment and quality of family member involvement may affect CO-OP efficacy.Conclusions: Therapists found CO-OP to be efficacious and adopted unique elements into their professional approaches.Significance: This is the first study to investigate CO-OP therapists' experiences. Future research is recommended to enhance training of therapists in key CO-OP features.

Abstract
Transferring learning from therapy to everyday life skills is a necessary step for successful therapy outcomes, yet rarely addressed and achieved. However, a cognitive approach to skill acquisition, and the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP), explicitly identifies transfer as an objective and incorporates elements into the intervention to support transfer. A scoping review was undertaken to explore the nature and extent of the research regarding CO-OP and transfer. An online search of 10 databases was conducted to identify and examine research studies reporting on CO-OP and transfer. The search yielded 25 documents that addressed CO-OP and transfer. The studies used a variety of approaches to evaluate transfer; all reported transfer on at least one and, in many cases, multiple transfer outcome variables. The CO-OP literature addresses transfer across a variety of populations and settings using a variety of approaches. Further work is required to establish a common approach to examining transfer in the CO-OP literature and the literature in general.
