Pushing the limit to reach meaningful change: the impact of intensity-driven exercise on clinical outcomes for individuals with Parkinson's disease. A single-subject design.

Purpose: Parkinson's disease creates an inability to perform previous learned autonomic tasks, such as walking, which worsens with disease progression. Recommendations to incorporate exercise at moderate to high intensities for this population has been established but there is limited knowledge about its impact on clinical based outcomes. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-week intensity-driven walking program on clinical-based outcomes in individuals with PD.

Occupational Therapists' Beliefs and Experiences Managing Chronic Pain, Wellness, and Occupational Performance.

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.

Pediatric hand therapists' experiences with outcomes measurement: An interpretive descriptive study.

Background: Demonstrating that pediatric hand therapy patients are achieving improved functional and health status outcomes is critical as reimbursement for therapy services shifts to value-based reimbursement. Yet, practice patterns of outcomes assessment in pediatric hand therapy are unknown.

Purpose: Explore how pediatric hand therapists describe their experience measuring treatment outcomes and using patient reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Perceived exercise habits of individuals with Parkinson's disease living in the community.

Context: Exercise has been shown to improve gait in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). Stepping practice at higher intensity levels has been suggested as a beneficial treatment option to improve gait in the neurological population. Unfortunately, this mode is poorly understood and underutilized within the PD population.

Interference: COVID-19 and the Impact on Potential and Performance in Healthcare.

Background: COVID-19 has had a significant effect on all aspects of life and occupational performance most recently.

Objective: This aim of this article was to discuss the concept of interference and the role that interference plays in productivity and potential across healthcare settings.

Methods: The framework design was the application of Bolea and Atwater's interference framework to probe the COVID-19 pandemic within healthcare organizations.
