“…One study found that there is consistency in patient precaution education across regions of the United States, but this study did not describe the type of education or prescription of adaptive equipment (Neville-Smith, Trujillo, & Ammundson, 2000). Kraskowsky and Finlayson (2001) found that training is one of the main factors that influence compliance.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the most frequent reasons for nonuse of adaptive equipment prescribed by occupational therapists in patients returning home after a total hip replacement surgery. Ten participants were obtained through a convenience sample and phone interviews were conducted. The results of this study indicate that patients are not involved in the process of deciding which pieces of adaptive equipment to purchase. Having identified the top reason for noncompliance with adaptive equipment, occupational therapists are now equipped with the knowledge to prevent future noncompliance by remaining client centered and considering client factors when recommending adaptive equipment.

“…Evidence for home modification and equipment prescription interventions by occupational therapists mostly involve populations of older people (Cumming et al ., ; Day et al ., ; Gitlin, Corcoran, Winter, Boyce & Hauck, ; Gitlin et al ., ) from a variety of diagnostic groups, such as neurological and orthopaedic conditions, general medical and general surgical conditions (Gosman‐Hedstrom, Claesson & Blomstrand, ; Harris, James & Snow, ; Hoffmann & McKenna, ; Neville‐Smith, Trujillo & Ammundson, ). The majority of the patients in this study were above the age of 65 years, presenting with a variety of medical conditions, thus being representative of those who usually receive occupational therapist home modification and equipment prescription interventions.…”

“…On day one of the critical pathway, the initial evaluation and social history are initiated and completed in occupational therapy. On postoperative days two and three, treatment focuses on self-care, functional transfers, and ordering and use of adaptive equipment (Davidson, 1999;Neville-Smith, Trujillo, & Ammundson, 2000). On day four of the critical pathway, it is expected that the patient require no more than minimal assist for all self-care activities and transfers and be able to independently state precautions.…”

Objective. The progress of adults after total hip replacement (THR) was measured baseline to discharge using the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Measures of effectiveness and efficiency were investigated. Additionally, although grip strength is frequently evaluated, its relationship to impact on functional gains after THR is unknown and was explored in this study. Method. A retrospective chart review was conducted on 41 patients' progress in acute rehabilitation following THR. Baseline and discharge FIM subscales of self-care, mobility, and locomotion were compared using paired t-tests with post hoc correction for type I error. Effectiveness and efficiency indicators on FIM subscale improvement were calculated. Grip strength was compared to expected values by age and gender using one-sample t-tests. Then, grip strength and FIM subscale scores were correlated using Pearson correlation. Results. FIM subscale scores each improved 2.1 points on average. Statistically significant improvement was made in 10 subscales of self-care, mobility, and locomotion. Grip strength was significantly less than expected norms in six of 14 subgroups after surgery; four of eight were female subgroups. There were no significant correlations between grip strength and any FIM subscale. Conclusion. Improvement in functional performance, as measured by FIM, was made on all FIM subscales. Grip strength after THR was moderately decreased from the norm. Results suggest that loss of grip strength alone may not adversely affect functional performance.
