Tutorial five: Video
production sessions
This blog is all about looking
at five online sources that relate to Brain injury. The reason why I have chosen to explore brain injury is
because on second fieldwork placement I was in a physical disability home in Dunedin. I was placed with a 19-year-old boy
that had been a serious car accident who obtained a traumatic brain injury
(TBI). My first few times that I
went to this placement I was very overwhelmed as I had never interacted with a
individual that had a TBI. Over
time I adjusted and built a relationship with this young man that I would call
a very life changing experience. I
have selected videos from YouTube that help explain brain injuries and also
demonstrate how occupational therapist help in the rehabilitation process. Online videos and recourses are a great
source of information for people that may have just recently received a TBI and
are coming to term with the injury.
The first video that I am posting is about the basic facts of a TBI. This video explores the symptoms and how a TBI can change ones life instantly.

This next video shows the
techniques the occupational therapist use to aid in rehabilitation for patients
that have TBI. Using wii as an
adaptive recovery tool creates meaningful occupation for patients that have
sustained a TBI.
This next video is about a young boy that obtained a TBI in a snow boarding accident. It shows his progress over time and how he learnt to walk, speak and live like he previously did before his accident.
This video is relevant as it
is about a lady named Helen who sustained a TBI after hiking. This video shows snippets of the way in
which a occupational therapist aid in the life of a TBI patient. Helen says how the occupational
therapist played a major role in her life as the therapist helped her return to
her previous function.
This video covers the
occupational therapist role after a individual have sustained a TBI. They talk about the different types of
interventions that would be taken and talk about when the occupational
therapist would begin to work with a individual who sustained a TBI. This video also covers the task that
the occupational therapist will cover so aid for the individual to return to
original function and how they functioned before the injury.

Hi Jess,
ReplyDeleteYour placement experience sounds very interesting and sounds like in the end it was very worthwhile.At your placement were there other clients with TBI?? or was it a range of different injuries? I really enjoyed your selection of videos from YouTube that explain brain injuries and demonstrate the occupational therapist role in the rehab process. As an up an coming OT its interesting to see the role of the OT in different settings. Thanks for sharing these videos.

Hey Soph,
ReplyDeleteYes my placement was very worth while in the end. I mainly worked with a young boy that had a TBI however there were other service users that had TBI's aswell. There were also many service users with disease's such as MS. There were individuals that also had a range of injuries and disabilities. These were physical disabilities. Hopefully my feedback helps.
