Abstract

Studies on brain abscess (BA) and Empyema are not routinely focused on the role of occupational therapy (OT) with these patients. There is a paucity of literature on deficits resulting from BA and Empyema other than hemiplegia. This study used a retrospective record review to determine the relationship between BA, Empyema, and resultant physical and psychosocial dysfunction. Patients with BA generally had more significant deficits than those with Empyema for both physical and psychosocial performance components. Hemiplegia was the most common physical deficit found with the most common psychosocial deficit being body concept. Remediation of these deficits falls within the scope of OT which is recommended for this patient population.

Chris Hani Baragwanath医院脑脓肿和脓胸患者的记录回顾。
对脑脓肿(BA)和脓胸的研究通常不关注职业治疗(OT)在这些患者中的作用。除了偏瘫之外,关于BA和脓胸导致的缺陷的文献很少。本研究采用回顾性记录来确定BA、脓胸和由此产生的身体和心理功能障碍之间的关系。BA患者通常比脓胸患者在生理和心理表现方面有更显著的缺陷。偏瘫是最常见的身体缺陷,最常见的社会心理缺陷是身体概念。这些缺陷的补救属于推荐用于该患者群体的OT范围。
