Practice-Based Evidence: the process for ATC

rehabilitation

Don MacLennan, MA/CCC!Chief, Speech Pathology Section!

Minneapolis VA Health Care System

I have no financial relationships to disclose

• To understand current evidence-based practice for ATC

• Identify principles of experience-dependent plasticity

Objectives

• Illustrate how application of principles of experience-! dependent plasticity inform instructional methods for! providing ATC strategies to people with cognitive ! impairments

• Discuss practice-based evidence as a strategy to stay ahead of the evidence

• Apply above information to a case study focusing on ATC

“We no longer find it acceptable to sit people in !front of a computer or workbook in the belief that!

such exercises will result in improved cognitive!and, more importantly, social functioning.”

Evolution of Cognitive Rehabilitation

Wilson & Gracey, 2009

• Collaborative Goal Setting!• Cognitive, emotional, social consequences of brain injury! are interlinked !• Technology is playing a larger part than ever before in! helping people with cognitive deficits compensate for! their problems!• No one model or theory is sufficient to handle all the! complexities of neurorehabilitation

ATC and Rehabilitation Staff

Survey of 81 Rehabilitation Professionals (Hart et al, 2003)

17% used AT personally / 49% used AT clinically

Cost as significant barrier

Lack of confidence in their ability to provide service

Survey of 147 Rehabilitation Professionals (deJoode et al, 2010)

30% used AT personally / 28% used AT clinically

BUT - implementation of AT in clinical practice has been! “delayed or even stalled”

No longer see cost as a primary barrier

Other compensatory strategies that might be applied include using mnemonic strategies...external memory

aids such as a diary, daily planner and/or handheld PDF or mobile phone to assist with structuring the

day and remembering things; using a tape recorder to tape meetings or telephone conversations to allow for review of their contents...However there has

been very limited controlled evaluation of interventions of this nature.

Group Retrospective Memory Challenge

Spend the majority of our time thinking about the future !(Giambra, 2000)

Problems with memory represent most frequent cognitive!complaint after mod-severe brain injury (Jamora, Young, & Ruff, 2012)

Emphasis on prospective memory in rehabilitation

Close relationship between future thought & retrospective memory

Similar neural activity is involved for both future thinking &! ability to recall past experiences (Addis et al, 2007; Szpunar, 2010)

Brain-injured patients with poor episodic memory also show!difficulties with episodic future thinking (Hassabis & McGuire, 2007; !Klein et al, 2002)

Instructional Methodology !& Experience-Dependent!

Neuroplasticity

What Do We Do? !(Gonzalez-Rothi, 2001)

Our goal as therapists is to facilitate the “reconstruction of behavioral functioning after injury or disease through rehabilitation.”

Premise:All behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and perceptual experience!arise from the brain

Page 10: Practice-Based Evidence: the process for ATC · 2. Remember what people tell you (21) 3. Remember things you need to do (21) 4. Phone numbers/addresses (15) 5. Birthdays & anniversaries

If Rehabilitation Changes Behavior,!It Changes the Brain!

(Gonzalez-Rothi, 2001)

Rehabilitation is potent - it can change the brain

Plasticity: the ability of the nervous system to change structurally

Hebb (1949): Learning stems from changes in neural connections! at the level of the synapse

- Can learn across the lifespan

10 Principles of Experience-Dependent Plasticity!(Kleim & Jones, 2008)

1. Use it or Lose it: Failure to drive a specific brain function can lead to functional degradation

2. Use it & Improve it:

3. Specificity

4. Repetition Matters

5. Intensity Matters

Training that drives a specific brain function can! lead to an enhancement of that function

The nature of the training experience dictates the nature of the plasticity

Induction of plasticity requires repetition

Induction of plasticity requires sufficient training !intensity

10 Principles of Experience-Dependent Plasticity!(Kleim & Jones, 2008)

6. Time Matters: Different forms of plasticity occur at different times during training

7. Salience Matters:

8. Age Matters

9. Transference

10. Interference

The training experience must be sufficiently salient to produce plasticity

Training-induced plasticity occurs more readily !in younger brains

Plasticity in response to one training experience can enhance the acquisition of similar behaviors

Plasticity in response to one experience can interfere with the acquisition of others
