Evidence Connection articles provide a clinical application of systematic reviews developed in conjunction with the American Occupational Therapy Association's (AOTA's) Evidence-Based Practice Project. In this Evidence Connection article, we describe a case report of a person who underwent a total knee replacement due to severe osteoarthritis of his left knee. The occupational therapy assessment and intervention process both before and after surgery in the home setting is described. Findings from the systematic review (Dorsey & Bradshaw, 2017) on this topic were published in the January/February 2017 issue of the American Journal of Occupational Therapy and in AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Adults With Musculoskeletal Conditions. Each article in this series summarizes the evidence from the published reviews on a given topic and presents an application of the evidence to a related clinical case. Evidence Connection articles illustrate how the research evidence from the reviews can be used to inform and guide clinical reasoning.
“证据关联”文章介绍了与美国职业治疗协会（AOTA）的循证实践项目联合开展的系统评价的临床应用。在这篇“证据关联”文章中，我们描述了一例因左膝重度骨关节炎而接受全膝关节置换术的病例报告。文中介绍了在家庭环境中手术前后的职业治疗评估及干预过程。关于该主题的系统评价（多尔西和布拉德肖，2017年）结果发表在《美国职业治疗杂志》2017年1/2月期以及AOTA的《成人肌肉骨骼疾病职业治疗实践指南》中。本系列的每篇文章都总结了关于特定主题的已发表综述中的证据，并展示了该证据在相关临床病例中的应用。“证据关联”文章说明了综述中的研究证据如何用于为临床推理提供信息和指导。
