thank you so much for your videos. I'm starting OT school in September and I want to be ahead of the game and your videos are extremely clear and cohesive. I've learnt a lot without attending the school. thanks !!!
Thank you for your video. Im using the aota study guy and I constantly getting scores between 63 and 84 % on the exam practice tests. Is that a good sign?
Just had posterior. Everything going well at 7 weeks. Great surgery. Want to point out one precaution that I think is Bull Crap. "Crossing the unaffected leg over the effected leg. NO? I don't think so. It has nothing ergonomically connected to the surgery. The affected leg remains completely straight and the unaffected leg simply crosses over the ankle of the affected leg for comfort. It does nothing. No issues for me. But they sold me on a major NO NO to do that. Have to say again, it's just me. I did it. No problems.
Thank you for all your videos I passed NBCOT OTR exam on my first try with your knowledge! I subscribed and liked this video and am so grateful for all the info you share with us all 🤩
That is awesome! Congrats on that incredible accomplishment and thank you so much for sharing your thoughts regarding the videos that I make. I am happy to hear they are helpful!
Thanks Arno !! I love all of these. As a therapist with ADHD I wanted to add a few extra tips that helped me: body-doubling !! Which meant definitely having a study partner to study with and beside. I also got myself to the same coffee shop 3 days a week for 4 weeks, as the activity around me helped serve as another type of body doubling (helped me not to stop studying). Also I primarily focussed on the TherapyEd book as my primary resource, and highlighted sections after I went through them, to help me identify materials I already touched (decreased the cognitive load needed to figure out where to pick up). I also made sure not to make flash cards for EVERYTHING- just the memorizable data bytes
I thought all hope was lost, I was searching for a great video to help me understand ranchos scale this helped a lot. Especially your examples you provided, how the patient may feel in each level. Thanks so much for your assistance !! very easy to comprehend :)
I'm an OTA transitioning into a coaching role and just signed up for Carlyn's Practical ACT for OTs Course starting March 1, 2024. Looking forward to it!
I would highly recommend the books mentioned in the interview and any of Carlyn’s content. ACT is one of the great psychological approaches/ tools that OTs can use to help people take action towards occupational goals.
Small correction, to determine between AIS C vs D you only consider the muscles below the Neurological Level of Impairment (which is the lowest level with normal sensation and at least a 3/5 strength with all 5/5 above bilaterally). For example, if the NLI is at C8 then only 3 of the remaining 6 myotomes must have 3/5 strength in order to be considered AIS-D.
