Professional strategies in work-related practice: an exploration of occupational and physical therapy roles and approaches.
Both occupational and physical therapy have historical roots in worker rehabilitation; however, the core philosophies and areas of expertise of these professions suggest there may be inherent differences in the ways each approaches therapeutic intervention. This study surveyed 600 occupational and physical therapists in the United States to determine the nature and scope of work-related practice, and the degree to which occupation-based strategies are used by either profession. The overall response rate was 54% (n = 324), and 76% of respondents (n = 246) were actively engaged in providing work-related services. Results indicate that both professions provide all services commonly associated with work-related therapy in almost equal proportions. Few significant differences were identified between the professions in terms of approaches to therapy, and findings did not reveal the use of occupation-based interventions to any greater degree by occupational therapists.

A comparative analysis of case presentation modalities used in clinical reasoning coursework in occupational therapy.
This study used mixed methods to compare four different styles of case presentation in a course designed to develop the clinical reasoning skills of master's level occupational therapy students. Modalities used to present cases were printed text, videotape, live interview, and CD-ROM movies delivered on an Internet platform. The researchers sought to determine the relative merits and limitations of each modality from both pedagogical and practical standpoints. Results indicate that the choice of modality does not compromise the ability of students to meet learning objectives related to clinical reasoning; however, several advantages and disadvantages with respect to practical aspects of presentation and learning were identified from instructor and student perspectives. The strength of the overall instructional format, and decisions concerning the amount and type of information provided in the cases were found to be more relevant to the quality of the learning experience than the modality of presentation. Recommendations are provided for structuring clinical reasoning learning experiences that combine the best features from the case modalities examined in this study.
