Occupational therapy (OT) is an important treatment modality for patients with paroxysmal functional neurologic disorder (FND) symptoms. In our clinical experience, an outpatient, OT-based sensory modulation treatment can address sensory processing difficulties often endorsed by patients with paroxysmal motor FND and functional seizures. This article aims to describe in detail the goals and treatment strategies for occupational therapists to replicate this approach. This article is also an important first step in aiding the development and execution of clinical trials to further evaluate the effectiveness of sensory-based treatment in patients with FND.

Persisting deficits are often seen years after an Achilles tendon rupture despite dedicated rehabilitation efforts. A possible reason for reduced function is elongation of the tendon and accompanying shortening of the muscle. Strength training with focus on the eccentric component of loading leads to longer muscle fascicles in healthy persons.

Exploring the application of acceptance and commitment therapy by occupational therapy practitioners: a scoping review protocol.

January 2025
School of Occupational Therapy, Touro University Nevada, Henderson, Nevada.
Objective: The proposed scoping review aims to explore the literature on the use of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) by occupational therapy (OT) practitioners, including how OT practitioners use ACT in the evaluation or intervention process, what types of client concerns they are addressing through ACT, in what settings they are using ACT, and what outcomes are being reported.
Introduction: ACT is a third-wave cognitive behavioral therapy that is effective across a wide range of diagnoses commonly seen by OT practitioners. Given the increased use of ACT by OT practitioners, a comprehensive understanding of its use in clinical practice would benefit OT practitioners, referring health care providers, and clients, as well as informing future research.
