learning disability may pertaining to other disability such as physical limitations, down's syndrome, autism, mental retarded and many more..

treatment by occupational therapy regarding both problem, we will tackle the attention and concentration first

then, to give them input about the letter, concept and calculation, we use sensory approach

for example, 

sand therapy - using fingers, to write on the sand..

dough - make the shape of cake, and cut the cake into few pieces.
marbles - for additional and subtract..

whatever it is, occupational therapy can not be a teacher to teach all about the lessons

but, we may help in overcome the problem in built the concept and imagination in them..

preTerM baBy

preterm baby is the baby who is deliver before the due date, a.k.a tak cukup bulan

some of them within range of acceptable weight, and some are underweight..

consider underweight which is below 1.7 or 1.8 kg

so, they will be in incubator or in court for follow up screening by the doctor everyday and every time

as occupational therapy we can help in improving the baby weight,

yup, that's right..

mother breast milk is most important thing and the best remedy for the baby..

well, therapist will help the mother how to do the 'touch therapy' for the baby which is effective to increase baby's weight

for the baby in ward, usually touch therapy will be done by the therapist,

but, it is the best done by the mother because the mother touch is so miracle..

touch therapy is the massage to stimulate all the glands, the sensory, and improve baby's blood circulation..

for the normal baby, they are active in moving, 

but for the preterm baby, they just lying in the couch without playing and moving actively..

thus, we have to stimulate the baby by masaging, and do some light stretching..

the massage should be twice or trice a day

morning, evening, and before sleep..

the baby will be improve in weight..

improve in sensory which is can prevent for delay development..

and improve the circulation..

FreeLance : sTroke

as we all know stroke patient apparently have one sided physical impairment and may be minor of major of cognitive and psychological problem.

for physical problem, physiotherapist and occupational therapist have to work together in gaining back the 

function. our general aim is to make client independent in life to the optimum level.

we will improve the range of motion and also muscle strength so that client able to move the affected body part. once the optimum range of motion and strength  had achieved, client can use some of assistive devices to make them easier in daily activities.

FreeLance for stroke (treatment by therapist at home), the treatment also focus the same aims as above. at the same time we will normalize the muscle tone for both flaccid (hypotone) or spactic (hypertone). 

strengthening exercise

feeding training

constrain induced movement therapy (CIMT) and bobath approach are the most applied by the therapist seems is works on stroke client. CIMT is the unaffected will be bandage to avoid client from using it. thus 100% activity during the treatment will only use the affected hand actively. while bobath approach help a lot in improving cleint's proprioception (joints sense) .

later on, the client will be taught how to dress, bath, groom, walk, toilet, independently. all the treatment will be given by stages for grading purpose.

FreeLance : for ADHD

hye everyone.

thanx for those who contact me regarding the

Feelance Service (FreeLance Physiotherapist & Occupational Therapist)

here, i'll briefly explain what can i do during the treatment session done at the client's home compare to the rehabilitation setting.

first of all, as we all know in rehabilitation setting the equipment is a lot and up-to-date. furthermore, the environment also isolated from others so that the children can pay attention to the activities given during the treatment. but the bussiness hour for freelance more flexible which can fix with parents' time and parents do not have to travel to send their children to get the treatment.

for ADHD (attention deficit hyperactive disorder) children we are as therapist really concern about the three main things. which are sensory regulation, eye contact, and attention and concerntration   (to reduce hyperactivity)

sensory regulation

at rehabilitation setting, we are equiped with sensory integration room and also the snoezelen room which are help a lot for calming and relaxing purposes and also to regulate the sensory. while at home setting, we are use a lot of hands on techniques for example; to reduce the hyperactivity we use the sensory intergration approach such as joint compression technique, brushing techniqe, and etc.

eye contact

while to imrove the eye contact,the treatment at the rehabilitation centre and home are same. play therapy are most affective for the children. through play therapy, the toys and activities selected by therapist will have certain aims and goals.

attention and concentration

in rehabilitation setting we defenately use the snoezelen room to reduce the hyperactivity and then follow by the table top activities.while, at home we will reduce the hyperactivity by joint compression technique or ' rowing boat' or 'rolling sousage'  then continue with table top activities.

all the aims and goals recommended by the therapist will be discuss with the parents first. once agreed, the treatment will be done accordingly.

the treatment give must follow the priority. for example:

short term goals

1) reduce the hyperactivity

2) improve eye contact

3) improve the sensory regulations

long term goals

1) self care activities (eg. dressing, feeding, and hygiene)

2) school readiness ( eg. fine motor, attention and concentration, behavior and etc)

3) behavior (eg. stop the bad habits such as biting and hurting themselves, disturb others, and tantrums)

4) safety awareness (eg: alert about danger and hazards such as 'hot water', 'fire', 'slippery surface', 'sarp edge', 'strangers', 'cars at the roadside' and manymore)

every treatment to each children might be different to each other. all the traetment and interventions will depends on the asessment results and problems.

sambutan daripada ibubapa terhadap ceramah kami amat menberansangkan.. banyak soalan ditujukan.. anyway, i'm happy sharing the info with the parents, and taught them some simple home programme.

alhamdulillah segala nya berjalan lancar..

Dyke-Davidoff MasSon SyndroMe

happy nye dapat patient baru ari ni..
anyway, aku selalu happy dapat patient baru..
walaupon penat, tp puas dapat treat patient seikhlas hati.

ape yg aku nak kongsi pada entry kali ni, aku dapat satu special case..
case yg tak pernah aku blajar selama ni..
well, walaupon dah keje kite still kene blajar, blajar and blajar..

case yg aku dapat hari ni adalah diagnose sebagai Dyke-Davidoff Masson Syndrome

serba sedikit tentang condition ni:
- berlaku sejak lahir
- saiz antara cerebral kanan (otak kanan) dan cerebral kiri (otak kiri) tidak sama, kesan daripada pengecilan atau pembesaran tisu otak.
- penebalan atau penipisan cranial vault (tengkorak kepala)
- kemungkinan besar mengalami seizures (sawan) , mental retarded (terencat akal), schizoprenia.
- physical limitation on one side.. boleh jadi sebelah kiri atau sebelah kanan.. bergantung kepada otak yg bermasalah.

so, kanak-kanak yg aku rawat ini berumur 2 tahun 4 bulan, perempuan dan sangat comel. boleh berjalan, but with little bit awkward walking gait. dalam case ini, kanak2 ini mengalami physical limitation on right side.

pada hari pertama rawatan, beberapa penilaian dijalankan. kanak2 ini bukan mengalami physical limitation due to weakness, but its because of unilateral neglect (abai sebelah badan). maksud nye, kanak2 ni tak nak gune tangan kanan nye sbb die sendiri pon xsedar tangan kanan nye wujud. so, perkembangan tangan kanan nya delay (terbantut).

dalam rawatan, aku menggunakan pendekatan sensory integration approach.. sensory diterapkan pada bahagian badan yg affected untuk improve the propriception (deria sendi). memandangkan kanak2 ini dalam fasa crucial development (perkembangan yg cepat), pendekatan sensory sangat berkesan dalam meransang otak nya.

the treatment of course through playing process.

matlamat rawatan 
- improve proprioception
- improve hand function
- improve walking gait
- improve trunk balance
- reduce unilateral neglect
-etc

rawatan2 yg dijalankan

1) ball pool

ni la ruoa ball pool

letak je kanak2 tu dalam ball pool ni.. so die akan menggerakkan seluruh badan nye untuk bergerak..

2) hit the drum

tgk kanak2 di atas, dorg akan gune dua2 belah tangan untuk ketuk drum tu, indirectly this girl use the affected hand. cube demo kat kanak2 tu nak main cam mane, nati die akan ikut ape yg kite buat.

3) throw and catch the ball
semestinya, bola yg besar kene pegang dua2 belah tangan kan?? tak kira la semasa yg baling ke, nak tangkap ke.. so, die akan gune affected hand jugak.


4) joint compression technique and brushing technique.
teknik ni adalah untuk bagi proprioception (joint sense). pastikan kanak2 tu dalam keadaan rilex. kanak2 tu boleh dalam keadaan berbaring, atau pon duduk. terapis akan ajar ibu bapa kepada kanak2 tersebut untuk continue kat rumah.

5) gym ball
byk activity boleh buat dgn gym ball. untuk improve balance, limbs reflex bile nak jatuh n sebagai nye.

6) trampoline

kanak2 akan lompat2 atas trampolin ni.. kl die x pandai lompat, lompat la bersama2 ngan die.. nanti die akan cuba ikut. lompat2 ni akan bagi tekanan pada sendi paha, lutut, buku lali, segala sendi jari kaki, tulang belakang dan sebagai nye. maksudnye boleh improve proprioception jugak. nanti die dapat rasa bahagian badan yg die neglect sebelum ni.

6) home program
ni adalah aktiviti2 yg parents kene buat kat umah
- continue joint compresion and brushing technique hari2
- pimpin tangan kanak2 tu on the affected hand
- pakaikan gelang atau jam pada tangan yg affected
- selalu tepuk tgn.. so kanak2 tu akan guna affected hand mase tepuk
- galakkan kanak2 tu untuk guna tangan yg affected..

itu sajalah info yg boleh aku kongsi.. sebenar nye byk lagi, tp terlalu byk nak cite.. hihi, ape2 soalan boleh la tanya kat komen di bawah  ye..

enjoy reading..
