Evidence Connection articles provide a clinical application of the evidence from the 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 an older adult recently diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The occupational therapy assessment and intervention process in the outpatient clinic is described. This Evidence Connection article is based on findings from an AOTA systematic review on interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice to improve and maintain participation in education, work, volunteering, and leisure and social activities among adults with Parkinson's disease. Each article in this series summarizes the evidence from the systematic reviews on a given topic and presents an application of the evidence as it relates to a clinical case. Evidence Connection articles illustrate how the research evidence from the reviews can inform and guide professional reasoning.
证据关联文章提供了从与美国职业治疗协会（AOTA）循证实践项目联合开发的系统评价中得出的证据的临床应用。在这篇证据关联文章中，我们描述了一位最近被诊断患有帕金森病的老年患者的病例报告。描述了在门诊诊所进行的职业治疗评估和干预过程。这篇证据关联文章是基于 AOTA 对职业治疗实践范围内改善和维持帕金森病成年人参与教育、工作、志愿活动以及休闲和社交活动的干预措施的系统评价结果。本系列中的每一篇文章都总结了给定主题的系统评价中的证据，并展示了证据在临床病例中的应用。证据关联文章说明了如何从综述中获取研究证据来为专业推理提供信息和指导。
