The use of occupation-based treatment with a person who has shoulder adhesive capsulitis
EARLEY D; SHANNON M
AM J OCCUP THER , 2006, vol. 60, n° 4, p. 397-403 Doc n°: 125404 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : KB1 - TECHNIQUES D'ERGOTHERAPIE, DD35 - PATHOLOGIE - EPAULE This article describes a case report of the occupational therapy management of a 53-year-old woman diagnosed with primary shoulder adhesive capsulitis. The occupation-based interventions are described through the framework of occupation-as-means. Compensatory occupation, preparatory methods, and purposeful activities are demonstrated as being critical to minimizing connective tissue deformation associated with this condition. This case report indicates that occupation-based intervention should be initiated as soon as a diagnosis is identified to prevent the downward spiral of forced disuse associated with the affected upper extremity. As illustrated by the case report, occupation-based treatment that was provided in a timely manner immediately decreased pain, improved range and quality of motion, and enhanced occupational performance.
