Abstract

Uvod: Osebe z okvaro na malih možganih se pogosto spopadajo z ataksijo, ki jim povzroča številne omejitve na področju izvajanja dnevnih aktivnosti. Delovni terapevt s strokovnim znanjem v okviru obravnave takšnim osebam omogoči ponovno sodelovanje v okupacijah in aktivnostih ter pozitivno vpliva na uporabnikovo funkcionalno stanje. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil zbrati informacije o delovno terapevtskih obravnavah oseb z ataksijo in o njihovi učinkovitosti. Metode dela: Uporabili smo kvalitativni raziskovalni pristop, natančneje pregled znanstvene literature po dostopnih elektronskih virih s ključnimi besedami v slovenščini in angleščini: ataksija/ataxia, ataksija in delovna terapija, ataxia and occupational therapy. Rezultati: V končno analizo smo vključili 10 študij. Njihova vsebina je razkrila usmerjenost na dva nivoja človekovega delovanja: okupacija/aktivnost ter telesne funkcije in strukture. Ta sta služila za smiselno razporeditev posameznih delov obravnav ter za razčlenitev uporabljenih ocenjevalnih instrumentov po njihovi namembnosti. Razprava in zaključek: Ugotavljamo, da terapevti posegajo po različnih strategijah in pristopih pri obravnavah oseb z ataksijo. Iz študij smo izluščili vse pomembne značilnosti uporabljenih intervencij, ki so uporabnikom pomagale pri zmanjšanju pojava ataksije in pri izboljšanju zmožnosti za izvedbo aktivnosti. Obravnave so bile usmerjene predvsem na izvajanje dnevnih aktivnosti s pomočjo pripomočkov ali prilagojene izvedbe. V vseh študijah so učinkovitost svojih obravnav tudi ovrednotili. Uporabili so več ocenjevalnih instrumentov, katerih rezultati so v večini pokazali napredek. Večina študij je torej pokazala učinkovitost obravnave, med drugim tudi pozitivne učinke na ataksijo in kakovost uporabnikovega življenja.

Secondary title: Occupational therapy interventions in a person with ataxia
Secondary abstract: Introduction: People with cerebellar dysfunction often suffer from ataxia, which causes many limitations in their activities of daily living. The occupational therapist's expertise in treatment and interventions enables such people to continue participating in occupations and activities and has a positive impact on the user's functional status. Purpose: Thesis' aim was to collect information on effectiveness and variability of occupational therapy treatments for people with ataxia. Methods: We used a qualitative research approach, more specifically a review of the scientific literature through available electronic sources with the keywords in Slovene and English: ataxia, ataxia and occupational therapy. Results: For the purpose of this thesis, we used 10 studies. Their content revealed a focus on two levels of human functioning: occupation/activity and body functions and structures. These were used to organise the different parts of the treatments in a meaningful way and to break down the assessment instruments used in the studies, according to their intended use. Discussion and conclusion: We find that therapists use a variety of strategies and approaches when treating people with ataxia. We extracted all the important features of all interventions from the studies that helped users to reduce the occurrence of ataxia and to improve their ability to perform activities. The main focus of the interventions was on executing activities of a daily living with the help of adaptive devices or adjusted performance of activity. All studies also evaluated the effectiveness of their treatments. Several assessment instruments were used, most of which showed progress. Studies have also reported improvements in users' general abilities and ataxia. Most studies have therefore shown the overall effectiveness of the treatment, including positive effects on ataxia and the user's quality of life.
