Abstract
Aim: This mixed methods study examined the functional outcomes of an occupation-based educational program for older adults with hand and wrist pain. A pretest–posttest design was used to understand changes in occupational performance, hand function, pain, grip and pinch strength, dexterity. Method: Two groups of classes met once a week for one hour, for four consecutive weeks. A total of 18 participants attended both weekly classes. Each class addressed functional activities, symptom management, exercises, questions, and sharing. Class content was determined based on pre-assessments of the Canadian occupational performance measure (COPM), tests of grip and pinch strength, hand dexterity, and open-ended semi-structured interviews. Results: All participants reported improvements in function, and significant improvements in COPM performance and satisfaction. Additionally, reported levels of pain significantly decreased from pre- to posttest. Conclusion: This study demonstrated that a community occupation-based hand therapy program is effective in improving occupational performance for older adults.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
