Article

Evidence Connection articles provide a clinical application of systematic reviews
developed in conjunction with the American Occupational Therapy Association's
(AOTA's) Evidence-Based Practice Project. In this Evidence Connection article, we
describe a case report of a person who underwent a total knee replacement due to
severe osteoarthritis of his left knee. The occupational therapy assessment and
intervention process both before and after surgery in the home setting is
described. Findings from the systematic review (Dorsey & Bradshaw, 2017) on this
topic were published in the January/February 2017 issue of the American Journal
of Occupational Therapy and in AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines
for Adults With Musculoskeletal Conditions. Each article in this series
summarizes the evidence from the published reviews on a given topic and presents
an application of the evidence to a related clinical case. Evidence Connection
articles illustrate how the research evidence from the reviews can be used to
inform and guide clinical reasoning.
