Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists work closely with patients who have had an illness or accident that can minimize function, like a stroke or car accident. Occupational therapists can help patients relearn their daily living activities, like dressing or eating. They offer suggestions to adapt a work or home environment in ways that will better meet your individual needs. Therapists also work closely with patients to educate on splinting, prosthetics or other adaptive devices. The primary goal of occupational therapy is to help you regain independence.
Services can include:
- Therapeutic adaptations, including prosthetic devices
- Changes in living and working environments to promote mobility and independence
- Upper extremity splinting and improvement of hand function
- Adaptation of daily living activities for sensory and motor loss
- Therapeutic activities and sensory-motor treatment for strength, endurance, range of motion and coordination
- Neuromuscular intervention to improve motor control, visual-perceptual skills and balance
