1099 Words5 Pages

Purpose: To propose a theoretical model of Knowledge Co-Creation between Physical Therapists (PTs) and Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in Neuro-Rehabilitation approach.
Method: 60 patients with PD were recruited from Thammasat University hospital, Thailand. General demographic data and clinical scores were recorded. PTs and PD co-create new knowledge by (1) reviewing literature in PD, Neuro-Rehabilitation for PD and clinical practice particularly regarding gait and balance disturbances; (2) interviewing the patients with questionnaires; ABC scale and FOG-Q and face-to-face meetings; (3) assessing their physical conditions and testing balance with mini-BESTest; and (4) systemizing all of the information gathered and then created a model co-created by the PTs and PD Patients.
Outcomes: The knowledge in theories and in practice of PTs and the experiences of the PD patients in terms of explicit and bodily tacit knowledge are significantly ground-breaking knowledge. The theoretical model for co-creating knowledge can be drawn which will be able to apply in practice as well as will be benefit for improving PTs treatments and PD patients' qualities of life.
Discussion and Conclusion: A theoretical model of knowledge co-creation between PTs and …show more content…

From the Stamp Act of 1765 until the Treaty of Paris in 1783, colonists from thirteen small colonies fought for independence from British Parliament and its authority they imposed upon the colonists.   This change for a political revolution to remove British control of absolute sovereignty led to the establishment of a nation that become the United States of America. Tensions were already in place between the colonists and the British, and grew even more when British Parliament placed taxes upon the colonists, creating laws that controlled colonial liberties.  Colonial protests and rejection began with the Boston Tea Party in 1773, followed by Coercive Acts, and in response, colonists created their own alternative government known as the First

A rehabilitative approach serves the purpose of guiding our interventions with Ken because PD is a chronic degenerative disorder with “no known effective treatment” (Reed, 2014, p.344). Since Ken’s physical health has and will continue to decline, it makes sense to use an applied theory that describes function as being able to engage in the occupations the client wants to do, regardless of how many compensatory strategies and physical adaptations must be used (Cole & Tufano, 2008). The rehabilitative approach also fits well with our chosen occupation based model (the CMOP-E) as it emphasizes engagement in meaningful occupations being the main goal of

The framework offers general information to help determine a meaningful and effective treatment plan for the patients, groups, or communities.
