Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is defined as that therapy which promotes the restoration of the ability of a person physically impaired to perform the tasks of daily living or the skills of a particular occupation. Occupational therapy also includes activities specifically designed and tailored to a specific condition. These services emphasize the use of activities to improve neuromuscular and musculoskeletal function and provide training in the activities of daily living. Other aspects of occupational therapy include the design, manufacture and use of the orthosis as well as instructions, assistance and selection of necessary equipment. For activities of daily living we mean those activities and skills necessary on a typical day such as: eating, bathing, dressing, physiological necessities, ambulating and mobility. <a id="
