Evidence Connection articles are offered by the American Occupational Therapy Association's Evidence-Based Practice Program to inform and assist occupational therapy practitioners in methods that translate findings from the literature into usable knowledge for daily practice. These articles can guide professional reasoning and help practitioners operationalize findings from systematic reviews into practical strategies that can improve patient outcomes and support evidence-based practice. This Evidence Connection article is based on findings from a systematic review of interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice to improve performance with activities of daily living (ADLs) for adults with Parkinson's disease (Doucet et al., 2021). In this article, we present a case study of an older adult with Parkinson's disease. We discuss suggested evaluation tools and intervention strategies that might be used as part of occupational therapy to address limitations and meet his desired needs for improved participation in ADLs. A client-centered, evidence-based plan was constructed for this case.
证据连接文章由美国作业治疗协会的循证实践计划提供，旨在为作业治疗从业者提供信息并协助他们，使其能够将文献中的发现转化为日常实践中可用的知识。这些文章可以指导专业推理，并帮助从业者将系统评价的结果转化为可以改善患者结局和支持循证实践的实用策略。本文基于对作业治疗实践范围内干预措施的系统评价结果，这些干预措施旨在提高帕金森病成人的日常生活活动（ADL）表现（Doucet 等人，2021 年）。在本文中，我们介绍了一位患有帕金森病的老年患者的病例研究。我们讨论了建议使用的评估工具和干预策略，这些工具和策略可能作为作业治疗的一部分，以解决限制并满足他对改善日常生活活动参与的期望需求。为这个病例制定了一个以客户为中心的、基于证据的计划。
