A Pompage é uma técnica de terapia manual que foi pensada pelo osteopata norte americano Cathie e desenvolvida e publicada por Marcel Bienfait, na França. Trabalha através do tencionamento da fáscia muscular permitindo o deslizamento entre os músculos. O terapeuta ocupacional visando alcançar um melhor desempenho funcional destaca que algumas práticas requerem uma terapia pré-cinética como a Pompage, a qual consiste em um importante recurso utilizado como facilitador do movimento. Assim, este estudo objetiva verificar as contribuições da técnica para a Terapia Ocupacional na reabilitação física e discutir a importância de que estes profissionais incluam as terapias manuais na sua prática. Trata-se de um relato de experiência e um levantamento bibliográfico em livros e nas bases de dados BVS e Pubmed no período de abril até maio de 2017 e ainda consulta ao diário de campo. Foram encontrados 78 artigos e através dos critérios estabelecidos na pesquisa utilizados 11, que em sua maioria abordavam o tratamento para dor lombar, uso da terapia manual e o trabalho com criança.  Entre o conteúdo dos estudos lidos e o diário de campo percebe-se que a técnica pode ser utilizada com diferentes objetivos como a ação sobre a circulação, sobre a musculatura, ação articular e ação calmante proporcionando ao paciente, uma vez mobilizado anteriormente um movimento com mais qualidade, amplitude e menos dor ao longo dos atendimentos. Foi percebida uma escassez de publicações sobre o assunto apesar da indicação do Ministério da Saúde para que práticas integrativas sejam incluídas no Sistema Único de Saúde. AbstractThe Pompage is a manual therapy technique that was founded by the American osteopath Cathie and developed and published by Marcel Bienfait in France. It works by tensing the muscle fascia allowing muscles to slide. The occupational therapist who is aiming to achieve a better functional performance emphasizes that some practices require a pre-kinetic therapy such as Pompage, which is an important resource used as a movement facilitator. Thus, this study aims to verify the contributions of the technique to Occupational Therapy in physical rehabilitation and to discuss the importance of these professionals including manual therapies in their practice. This is an experience report, a bibliographical study of books and in the BVS and Pubmed databases from April to May 2017 and the consultation of the field diary. 78 articles were found and through the criteria established 11 were used,. Between the contents of the studies read and the field diary it was established that the technique can be used with different objectives such as action on circulation, musculature, articular and also a calming effect on the patient. Moreover once mobilized the movement has more quality, amplitude and less pain throughout the visits. A shortage of publications on the subject was identified despite the indication of the Ministry of Health of Brazil so that integrative practices are included in Health Unic System.Keywords: Fascia; Musculoskeletal manipulations; Occupational therapy.

The author divides her time between St Loye's and the Langdon Hospital for the mentally handicapped at Dawlish. This article was written as a result of an attendance at a study day on the subject of mental handicap, held in London. The author met with a number of occupational therapists who were working single-handed or with only part-time support. She asked herself the following question: if, each year, hundreds of enthusiastic graduates flow out through the occupational therapy college gates, why do so many jostle for vacancies in the psychiatric or physical field and why do so few turn towards mental handicap? She investigated the subject, listening to a wide variety of suggestions put forward by numerous occupational therapists throughout the past year. She has included those which were a recurring theme.

In comparing the scores obtained in the Bay Area Functional Performance Evaluation test by two groups of acute psychiatric patients, one in San Francisco, California and the other in Vancouver, British Columbia, this paper examines aspects of performance which may be culturally determined. Given the limitations of the medical model used in many acute psychiatric programs, it considers possible alternative uses of this standardized test beyond the traditional occupational therapy initial assessment which may enhance its value: in identifying important information for treatment planning by the occupational therapist and providing a way of measuring a patient's readiness for discharge.
