Week 10 Original post: Wed 11/19/2014 at 10:15 PM

Discuss how evidence based practice is used to support client interventions in this setting.  In APA format, list one article you used to support evidence based practice.

At Brooks Rehab, we use a variety of evidence based practice interventions. One intervention that we use with our patients often is electrical stimulation. We use it with our patients who have shoulder subluxations to help with approximation of the joint. We also use it to re-educate the patient's affected upper extremity in order to increase functional use of it. We also utilize functional electrical stimulation with our patients as well. We have FES connected to a bike for the patients to use as well as Bioness units.

The effect of electrical stimulation in combination            with bobath techniques in the prevention of shoulder subluxation in acute stroke patients. Clinical                              Rehabilitation, 25(1), 51-9. doi: 10.1177/0269215510375919

Great resource. Sounds like you are linking evidence to practice in a good way with success.

Have a safe holiday and looking forward to seeing you soon.
