Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is recommended when individuals struggle with daily activities due to conditions like stroke, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, fractures, arthritis, or developmental disorders in children. These difficulties often appear as loss of motor skills, reduced coordination, cognitive decline, or challenges in adapting to home and work environments.

• Diagnosis: Involves a comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s physical, cognitive, and functional abilities, along with identifying barriers in daily activities.

• Treatment:

  • Skill training: Exercises to improve fine and gross motor skills.

  • Adaptive techniques: Teaching new methods to complete daily tasks more easily.

  • Assistive devices: Using supportive tools like braces, splints, or ergonomic aids.

  • Environmental modifications: Adjusting home or workplace to improve accessibility.

  • Cognitive therapy: Activities to strengthen memory, attention, and problem-solving.

  • Pediatric programs: Supporting children with developmental delays to enhance learning and motor skills.
