Occupational Therapy

ADL Training

Activities of Daily Living (ADL) Training is more than just assisting patients with basic tasks. It involves a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s abilities in their own environment. The therapist might use adaptive techniques or equipment, like specialized utensils for eating or dressing aids, to improve independence. It’s not just about managing tasks; it’s about restoring dignity and autonomy in everyday life.

Fine Motor Coordination

Fine Motor Coordination is crucial for many daily activities. Our occupational therapists work to improve hand and finger skills through exercises like bead threading, clay modeling, or computer-based dexterity games. These activities not only enhance physical abilities but also boost confidence and self-esteem, as patients regain the ability to perform tasks they previously found challenging.

Home Safety Evaluation

In Home Safety Evaluation, our therapists don’t just identify risks; they collaborate with patients and their families to make practical changes. This might involve rearranging furniture for better mobility, installing smart home devices for easier control of the environment, or educating family members about ways to maintain a safe home.

Muscle Reeducation

Muscle Reeducation extends beyond basic exercises. It often involves innovative techniques like electrical stimulation or biofeedback to help patients relearn muscle control. This therapy is particularly important for stroke survivors or those with spinal cord injuries, as it can significantly impact their recovery and return to daily activities.

Neuro-developmental Training

Neuro-developmental Training uses specialized techniques to address issues stemming from neurological damage. Our therapists may use constraint-induced movement therapy to encourage use of an affected limb, or they might incorporate virtual reality systems to provide engaging, realistic environments for rehabilitation.

Orthotics/Splinting

In Orthotics/Splinting, our therapists not only fit devices but also educate patients on their use and care. They work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure these devices are integrated effectively into the patient’s rehabilitation plan. This might involve custom-designing orthotic devices or adapting existing ones for optimal comfort and functionality.

Perceptual Motor Training

Perceptual Motor Training involves activities that are as mentally engaging as they are physical. This training is crucial for patients who have experienced brain injuries or have developmental disorders. Our therapists might use puzzles, computer games, or even virtual reality exercises to improve patient’s perceptual and cognitive skills.

Re-training of Cognitive, Feeding, Perceptual Skills

Re-training of Cognitive, Feeding, Perceptual Skills is tailored to each patient’s specific needs. Cognitive retraining might involve memory exercises, attention training, and executive function activities. Feeding training can include techniques for those with swallowing difficulties, and perceptual skill training often involves exercises to improve visual processing and spatial awareness.

Training of Use of Adaptive Devices

Training of Use of Adaptive Devices encompasses a wide range of tools, from simple modified grips for pens and pencils to advanced communication devices for those with speech impairments. Our occupational therapists not only teach the use of these devices but also help integrate them into the patient’s daily life, ensuring they complement other therapeutic strategies.
