Causes, Consequences, and Fall Prevention Preferences for Adults in Mid-Life
Authors: Lee Meredith H. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/20/21
Most research studying fall experiences and fall prevention program preferences focuses on older adults, overlooking the falls that occur in midlife. This pilot study gathered preliminary data on fall experiences, consequences, and fall prevention preferences of adults in midlife. Almost all participants experienced functional consequences from their fall and had interest in learning about fall prevention, suggesting that fall prevention programs could be beneficial for middle-aged adults.

Specific Daily Living Skills Are Associated With Motor Profiles in Children With and Without Autism
Authors: Travers Brittany , Taylor Desiree , Klans Nicole , Reynolds Alexandra , Kissinger Lucia , Skaletski Emily , Brown Joshua 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/13/21
Motor challenges are commonly reported in children with autism spectrum disorder and have been linked to challenges with daily living skills (DLS). However, greater specificity is needed to understand which DLS are most associated with motor challenges. This work shows that motor challenges in children are most highly associated with DLS challenges in the domains of dressing, bathing, cleaning, and meal preparation. OTs can use this to inform clinical intervention.

OTs' Role in Screening and Addressing Polypharmacy Side Effects With Geriatric Clients
Authors: M. Quigg Anna , Marks Ashley , Hogan Jamison , Campbell Brett , Cox Dustin 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/200/21
Older adults in the United States are at high risk for polypharmacy, which is related to increased falls, confusion, constipation, weakness, and tiredness. OTs are uniquely prepared to notice function-related impairments due to polypharmacy but do not routinely screen for or address it. This study found that an infographic increased OTs' knowledge of and willingness to intervene regarding polypharmacy and may be cost effective and time efficient in encouraging OTs to attend to polypharmacy side effects.

Quantification of Gait During a Standardized IADL Task
Authors: Toepfer Maxwell , Alsaeed Abdullah S. , Doyle Kecia , Geil Shanda N. , Pickett Kristen A. , Herzog Noah T. 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/200/21
Current methods to assess functional performance often rely on subjective reporting and are commonly not generalizable. A cross-sectional comparison of standard straight-line gait under a cognitive load and a functional task that included cognitive and visual components was performed using instrumented gait mats. Preliminary results suggest traditional linear dual-task walking may not accurately depict functional gait, highlighting the need for ecologically valid assessments of function.

Authors: Barlow Kate 
Published: August 2021

Abstract
Date Presented 04/12/21
OT and physical therapy students visited Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) centers to educate families on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Milestone Tracker app. A pretest-posttest design using an adapted version of the Cultural Competence Self-Assessment Checklist (N = 40) was utilized. The results indicated that while students perceived the experience as a positive one that increased their knowledge of WIC, the experience did not significantly alter self-perceptions of their cultural competence.
