There is a treatment for Parkinson's patients called LSVT Big for OT/PT's. You could look into that. Also, where I work we have started using Solaris light therapy on patients for pain mgmt and wounds. There is also some talk of it helping with tone. Not sure if there is any evidence on these treatments but they are new to me and I have been an OT for 11 years.
Another is Neuro-IFRAH for neuro patients, kind of the new NDT. Hope one of these may help. Good luck.

I am looking for an interesting clinical concern in OT to investigate. I have only completed level 1 fieldwork so I don't have a lot of clinical experience. Are there any new interventions, preventions or techniques that may be new in the field? It has to be related to adults. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
