Linking to Blogs of Interest

This blog from September 2011 provides the individual with information regarding electric wheelchairs which I observed the use of in my first placement in an AT&R ward, where an individual which had had a motorcycle accident used an electric wheelchair as a means of transportation for a period of time.

This blog is a fellow class mates from the Dunedin campus – Aimee Foot-McKay. I have found that her blog has very interesting content, is nicely laid out, and is not too sore on the eye! – I like the design she has used.

This “wiihab – rehabilitative therapy using the wii by the “wii ot”” is a blog that focusses on rehabilitation using a WIII – a new technology which I thought was relevant as we have been learning about different forms of technology and how they will aid the individual.

I found this stroke survivor’s blog very interesting with heaps of cool stories and content regarding lots of stories about different individuals who have had strokes, survived and wished to share the story with the online community of bloggers.

This blog is purely based on kitchen assessments in neuro which I have observed in my first placement. I found it very interesting seeing other people in the OT practises view on the assessment.

Here is an example of some communication that I've had since commenting on a blog

Hi Aimee, great blog! love all those videos! I was just wandering are probus groups found in most towns/cities of New Zealand?

  1. Thanks Rachel :) Probus is a very large organisation withing New Zealand, there are often multiple Probus groups within the main cities. However, in smaller towns/village I believe that there is not the appropriate demand for Probus groups - there isn't one where I live in Akaroa.

  2. Thank you Aimee =]
