Video Tutorials

Jan Davis created the following short video tutorials to help guide you through the ICELearningCenter.com website. She offers great tips and suggestions for clinicians and faculty using the programs and courses developed by ICE.

THERAPY TIPS & IDEAS

Title	Duration	Description	Preview
Beginning an Effective Evaluation	3:48	Highly successful therapists have something in common: exceptional skills in observation. The sharper your observation skills, the more effective your treatment will be. Observation includes what you see, what you hear and what you feel.
Tips for Improving Observation Skills	2:44	Jan Davis gives important tips in how to improve your observation skills. Learn how key problem areas are identified. Observe this patient’s asymmetries and determine their base of support.
Mobilizing the Scapula in Elevation	2:40	Proper handling skills are critical to preventing shoulder pain in stroke survivors. In this video tip, Jan Davis demonstrates proper hand placement and how to begin scapular mobilization with stroke survivors.
Mobilizing the Scapula in Protraction	1:20	Mobilizing the scapula in protraction can help reduce abnormal muscle tone and prevent shoulder pain in stroke survivors. In this video tip, Jan Davis demonstrates how to do scapular mobilization, in protraction, with stroke survivors.
Mobilizing the Scapula in Upward Rotation	1:22	Always prepare the scapula in elevation and protraction before mobilizing the scapula in upward rotation. Proper handling skills are critical to preventing shoulder pain in stroke survivors. In this video tip, Jan Davis demonstrates proper hand placement and how to begin scapular mobilization with upward rotation.
Bed Positioning on the Involved Side	2:00	Proper bed positioning, on the involved side, can help reduce a stroke survivor’s upper extremity tone, prevent shoulder pain and improve comfort. In this Video Tutorial, Jan Davis demonstrates how to safely position a patient on their involved side.
Assessing Lower Extremity Motor Function	3:16	In this video tip a physical therapist begins his assessment of lower extremity motor function with a stroke survivor in the acute care hospital. Clear, practical tips are included as proper handling methods are demonstrated.
Encouraging UE Control With Occupation-Based Activity	3:26	The use of meaningful activities taken from real-life situations can help stroke survivors recover functionally. In this video Jan Davis demonstrates how to encourage use of the involved upper extremity during a functional task.
Guiding: An Introduction & Overview	1:53	Guiding is perfect for stroke survivors with motor control problems, receptive aphasia or even visual field deficits. It encourages awareness of the involved side and provides sensory information for more normal patterns of movement.
Guiding with a Nonfunctional UE	2:10	Guiding allows the involved hand to be included in everyday tasks even before movement returns. This video demonstrates how to use guiding with several stroke survivors, each with a nonfunctional upper extremity.
Guiding Used for Visual Field Deficits	1:23	This video demonstrates just how effective guiding can be for patients with a visual field deficit. Guiding can be more effective than telling a patient to “look to the left”, especially for those with language and perceptual deficits.
A Head Start to Rehab	2:05	Placing the bed with the stroke survivor's involved side facing the door automatically provides visual, auditory and tactile stimulation of that side each time a nurse, therapist or visitor enters the room. In addition, placing the bedside table on the weak side also encourages rolling toward that side to reach for objects such as the telephone. These simple environmental changes can give a stroke survivor a 'head start' to therapy!
Proper Foot Placement During Bed Mobility	3:28	Proper positioning of the involved foot during functional tasks such as Bed Mobility can help improve a stroke survivor's safety and level of independence. In this Video Tutorial, Jan Davis demonstrates handling methods to decrease extensor tone of the lower extremity and optimal foot placement to encourage LE weightbearing.
Sit to Stand: Max Assist	3:35	Stroke survivors can re-learn normal patterns of movement, even when maximum assistance is required. This video demonstrates proper hand placement and emphasizes shifting the patient’s weight forward (instead of lifting) in order to stand up.
Sit to Stand: Two-person Max Assist	3:10	This video demonstrates a safe and effective method of helping stroke survivors requiring the maximum assistance of two persons come from sit to stand. It saves your back and protects their shoulders. Absolutely no lifting or pulling on arms!
Sit to Stand: Common Problems	5:52	This video helps clinicians problem-solve difficulties of bringing a stroke survivor from sit to stand. Several modifications of handling methods and environmental changes are illustrated with patients requiring moderate and maximum assistance.
Creating Secure Environments for Safe Standing	1:33	Fearful patients and those functioning at a lower level will feel more secure and stand for longer periods of time when their therapists provide a safe and secure environment. Every clinician (PT or OT) should be trained in safe and effective ways to stand patients. This Video Tutorial Tip illustrates 4 important rules for creating a safe and secure environment when standing with stroke survivors.
Supine to Sitting: Handling Tips	3:57	A few simple handling tips for PTs, OTs and nurses can help stroke survivors come from supine to sitting at the edge of the bed, without lifting or the use of excessive effort.
