AI Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the long-term impact of a Visual Praxis Based Occupational Therapy Program on motor skills in children with Specific Learning Disabilities, involving 96 participants split into an Experimental group and a Control group.
- The Experimental group underwent therapy twice a week for 8 weeks, after which significant improvements were found in various motor skill categories, including Fine Motor Precision and Balance, as measured by the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test.
- These improvements were not only statistically significant immediately after the intervention but also showed lasting effects during a follow-up assessment, indicating the therapy's efficacy.
Article Abstract
To examine the long-term effects of Visual Praxis Based Occupational Therapy Program on the motor skills of children with Specific Learning Disabilities. Ninety-six boys and girls were divided into two groups: Experimental (n = 48) and Control (n = 48). The Experimental group received Visual Praxis Based Occupational Therapy Program in two weekly sessions for 8 weeks. All participants were assessed with the Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-2 Brief Form at three-time points; pre-test, post-test, and follow-up. The experimental group showed superior results, Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-2 Brief Form's Fine Motor Precision, Fine Motor Integration, Bilateral Coordination, Balance, Speed and Dexterity, Upper Extremity Coordination and Total Score significantly increased after the intervention (p ≤ 0 0.05) and the scores were maintained at the follow-up (p > 0.05). The Visual Praxis Based Occupational Therapy Program intervention provided a retained positive effect in the development of motor skills in children with Specific Learning Disabilities.

Unlabelled: Post-stroke cognitive impairments are widespread and significantly reduce the quality of life and rehabilitation prognosis of patients. Clinical observations show a serious variability of cognitive impairments in patients after acute cerebrovascular accident. Thus, the classification of above mentioned disorders, based on which it would be possible to determine the order of individualization of a cognitive rehabilitation program, is currently not available in literature.

Objectives: Clinical data on the performance of double-crown-retained removable dental prostheses (dcRDPs), especially beyond university studies, are rare. The objective of this retrospective clinical study was to evaluate the survival and complication-freeness probabilities of dcRDPs and to identify risk factors for failure and complications in a dental practice setting.

Background: The increasing use of electronic documentation extends to consultation for the visually impaired. The aim of this project was to develop a set of forms and electronic patient records specifically for low vision care, giving equal consideration to ophthalmological, orthoptic, and optometric specialities, as well as teaching aspects.
Patients And Methods: FIDUS software (FIDUS Arztservice Wente GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) is a well-established tool in ophthalmology practices and clinics.

Background: Surgical procedures of the hand are increasingly performed in an ambulatory setting. Postoperative analgesia is based empirically on the painfulness of individual surgical procedures without these having been examined systematically.
Patients And Methods: The painfulness (visual analogue scale) of 722 surgical procedures of the hand and wrist (1 July 2021 to 30 June 2023) was assessed until day 5.
Purpose: It was aimed to investigate the effects of Ayres Sensory Integration based intervention on balance, speech, and sensory processing skills of a 4-years and 11-month-old child with bilateral incomplete partition type 1 inner ear anomaly and using bilateral cochlear implant.
Method: The child received the Ayres sensory integration-based intervention program for 2 months in 45-minute sessions twice a week. Before and after the intervention, Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale, Categories of Auditory Performance-II for auditory perception evaluation, Test of Early Language Development -Third Edition, Speech intelligibility rating test for evaluating language-speech skills, Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration® (EASI), and Dunn Sensory Profile for sensory processing skills were used.
