How can function and mobility lost through injury or illness be restored? A course of occupational therapy at CSM Clinic allows a set of rehabilitation measures to be developed to help regain sensation and movement. From diagnosis to therapy and recovery!
Do you have impaired motor function after a stroke? Limited movement in a limb after an injury? Working with specialists can help restore lost function and mobility. You can take a course of occupational therapy in Bila Tserkva at CSM Clinic, where experienced doctors work and conditions are set up for rehabilitation. We offer full-cycle medical services: from diagnosis to therapy and recovery. In addition, our doctors take an individual and attentive approach to each clinical case.
Occupational therapy is a field of medicine that specializes in restoring activity in people who have lost, as a result of injury or illness, the ability to coordinate movements and move independently. It differs from ordinary exercise in its individual approach and comprehensiveness. The occupational therapist designs a set of rehabilitation measures that takes into account the patient's existing physical problems. This specialist helps people with limited abilities to relearn how to care for themselves, handle household tasks and work, aiming for the greatest possible independence and autonomy.
A description of the indications helps to understand what occupational therapy is and who needs it. The method is used in many areas of medicine: neurology, orthopedics and traumatology, cardiology, psychiatry and others.
Seeing an occupational therapist is advisable for people with limited mobility after an injury or polytrauma, stroke, burns, musculoskeletal disorders, rheumatologic and mental illnesses. Occupational therapy is widely used in rehabilitation programs for children with cerebral palsy. The method can also be useful in sports rehabilitation, for various spinal injuries and after severe traumatic brain injury. It is also included in adaptation programs for patients with mental illness. The method can also be used for the physical rehabilitation of patients whose muscles have atrophied after prolonged bed rest.
Occupational therapy is not limited to a set of exercises to restore sensation and movement. An individual approach to each patient makes it possible both to assess physical condition and the nature of the pathology and to take into account the specifics of life before the illness. With a comprehensive approach, patients learn self-care skills and return, to the greatest extent possible, to normal life and activities, including work.
An occupational therapist must be able to draw on knowledge from several fields: physical therapy, evidence-based medicine, biomechanics, pedagogy, psychology and social pedagogy. This specialist works with different age groups: newborns, preschool and school-age children, teenagers, adults and older people. They need to know the specifics of the physical and mental condition of each age group, communicate well and take an individual approach to the task at hand.
Work with an occupational therapist at CSM Clinic begins with an assessment of motor activity and the ability to care for oneself. At the same time, the doctor takes into account existing limitations, abilities and resources. To analyze the patient's condition at the consultation, the occupational therapist uses standardized methods. For example, to assess hand mobility, the specialist checks the range of motion, grasp, the ability to manipulate objects and sensory function. Memory, the ability to concentrate and other cognitive and perceptual functions are also taken into account.
Assessment may use questionnaires for the patient and relatives, scales (Barthel, Weiss, Frenchay, Ashworth) and observation methods. For example, the occupational therapist may ask the patient to tie shoelaces, draw a picture or perform another task. While the task is performed, the specialist observes the features of the movements and identifies what difficulties the person has and how they appear.
The workflow with a patient at an occupational therapist appointment is as follows:
After analyzing the examination results, the doctor draws up a session plan and carries it out with the patient. If necessary, the patient's family members are involved in the rehabilitation process.
Occupational therapy methods include:
The main goals of occupational therapy:
During occupational therapy, rehabilitation is pursued through a developmental program aimed at restoring the affected functions. If this is not possible, the occupational therapist uses a compensatory strategy aimed at substituting for lost abilities.
