Occupational Therapy

Our hospital’s occupational therapy team trains patients to take care of themselves when a health problem limits normal, day-to-day activity, such as bathing, dressing, eating, preparing meals, doing housework and managing personal business. Therapy may include the following:

• Exercises related to activities and function of the upper body
• Training to improve self-care, dressing and activities of daily living
• Assessment for visual and spatial impairment
• Energy conservation measures for improved endurance
• Home improvements for safety and increased independence
• Training on the use of adaptive equipment to improve independence and safety during daily life tasks
• Assessment and treatment of cognitive impairments
