Totally random side note but to remember that C5 is the level associated with Vinnie the Pooh (and thus that the functional outcome is elbow flexion, etc.), I realized that the roman numeral for 5 is V, as in Vinnie. Unsure if this silly tip will help anyone but I thought I'd share it in case it does. This NBCOT has so much to know on it that I'm always happy to hear any mnemonics that I can!

It was one of the most difficult, isolating and discouraging times of my life and I didn't want anyone else to feel that way. The pain I felt during that time is what gave birth to this KZread channel and my website.

Thank you so much dear Miri! ~ Besides learning and re-learning this lesson I had so much fun with you while learning OT again after a long hiatus or gap in the career. I recall so many things from my college studies but it was very instrumental to get to know you during this great period of transition as an OTA and through becoming a COTA. ~ I was looking for something to inspire me to greater heights within the OT profession since I work in physical dysfunction setting and I have a very holistic, spiritual background and perspective, and, as a whole I think I have FINALLY found the missing puzzle piece in the most serendipitous of ways! Indeed, having yet to put one plus one together; however, I am discovering I might not only want to pass this exam and end it there. ~ Most definitely, I am onto something of amazing proportions, a treasure only a holistic therapist can understand and value! I think you not only inspired me but I really have resonated with your teaching system and your caring, compassionate energy. I had lost hope that I could pass this exam, do great in the OT profession but now I am free, and the shift I sense within me is not only my kundalini rising and my spiritual awakening alone, it is a holistic way of life and a lifestyle that is so engrained within me that I sense something otherworldly beginning here, something just clicks and it is very exciting. ~ This is an impactful and wonderful profession and I even cherish it more since I have the ability to impact so many at the nursing home and moreover I see the light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe, just maybe I end up teaching as well but who knows. Wherever my path leads me, I am grateful for having had the honor of knowing one of the best professors in the Occupational Therapy field.

Thank you so much for adding music and songs to the ability to recall> I finally feel like this is something I can accomplish and remember when the time comes for the test. When I was in class I used songs to remember many of the muscles and bone connections and helped my classmates. Thank you for doing this. I wanted to suggest that you sign up for a patreon account because then you could have subscribers pay you a little bit each month. It's free and a great easy way to solicit donations for your work. Please let me know if you do!

I love how you use fairytale stories to help us remember the different levels. I can't remember their names but this couple has a KZread channel rocking and rolling with (their names). The guy has a c6.

I thought ur previous SCI presentation was great.. This one is superb.. Good job miri!.

Hi, OTMiri! I'm taking my exam next month! Please consider explaining how to choose DME and a tub transfer bench versus shower chairs with or without arm rests, bedside commode versus elevated toilet insert (e.g.) This is something I really struggle with. Thank you for all your videos! ♡

Thank you for studying with me! Because of the sheer volume of content related to SCI, I couldn't cover every aspect. But I do hope to do a video covering your requested topic soon. In the meantime, I would like to encourage you to review your textbook, especially if you have the Pedretti's Occupational Therapy Practice Skills for Physical Dysfunction, as it has a wonderful chapter going over this very topic. There's nothing here that you can't master on your own!!

Hi Miri! Your videos have been so helpful with my understanding of these different topics! Would you consider doing a video on work hardening programs and OT's role in them? A lot of the practice exams I've been taking have had those types of questions and I haven't been able to find a good resource that explains it well. Thank you!

Hi Miri! First of all, I would like to thank you for giving us these amazing resources. I am taking my boards in 2.5 weeks and these videos have really helped me grasp the information that I needed! I was wondering if you are planning on doing a video on the other assessments? Such as ADL/psychosocial assessments? I am having trouble differentiating them and I know you would make a great video. Thanks again :)

You're welcome, Alejandra! I'm glad you're finding my resources to be helpful and hope you continue to feel supported here. I have been wanting to make more videos on assessments, but just haven't had a chance to get to them yet. It's unlikely I'll be able to make one in the next couple of weeks before your exam, but I want to encourage you to approach this topic area as if you were the one teaching it. How would you approach the topic and break it down? How would you organize the content and what creative visuals or mnemonics would you use to help you remember certain assessments? Believe me when I say that you already have everything you need within you to pass this exam, with or without my videos. So put on your teaching cap and see if you can come up with an epic way to learn this topic!! You'll be amazed at what you come up with.
