Tutorial 5: Video Production Sessions

This post will discuss a chosen topic of interest with Occupational Therapy practice and how it is represented using a range of online videos.

My chosen topic of interest is the progressive neurological disorder of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The videos that I have posted below provide personal experiences of MS as well as how Occupational Therapy can assist and help an individual manage with this disorder both physically and mentally. The other videos will provide education on MS and how it affects the human body as well as another video which will highlight a number of communities that sufferers of MS can relate to and connect with.

The video below identifies the process of the Multiple Sclerosis conditon in an understandable manner that can be used as an education tool for clients. The video illustrates the disease process and how different areas of functioning are affected by the disease.

 

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has provided a number of videos on MS and other people's experiences and insights. This video is about MS Learn Online: Personal Insights and Tools for Coping.

The video below provides the viewer with information regarding the role of the Occupational Therapist in assisting individuals with MS to complete everyday activities such as household tasks, self-care activities and leisure activities that the person may be finding difficult due to their disease.

Below is a video that shows more specific Occupational Therapy interventions that people with MS may experience. Gary provides the viewer with an individualised perspective on his experience of OT  treatment for his condition.

The cause of MS can be a topic of importance for sufferers to be aware of as well as therapists. It is important to acknowledge that there is no known cause but that there is a number of hypotheses about the etiology of the disease. This video provides an easy to understand overview of the potential causes of MS.
