Life-altering conditions such as a stroke, spinal cord injury, or loss of a limb can significantly impact a person's ability to perform simple daily tasks like dressing, bathing, or preparing a meal. Occupational therapists work with individuals to devise a comprehensive treatment program that will enable them to regain their independence in daily tasks, successfully manage their homes, and participate fully in leisure and community activities.
At Advanta, our Occupational Therapy offers a number of specialised services to help individuals return to their life roles and improve their quality of life at home and in the community. Our highly skilled staff use trained observation and standardised testing to evaluate how the patient’s condition is affecting their ability to perform a variety of daily functions. This evaluation, along with the expressed goals of the patient and his or her caregiver, is then used to identify areas that need improvement. Treatments are then directed toward developing, improving, or restoring skills in these areas, which may include:
Occupational Therapy
-
performing daily activities such as eating, dressing, bathing, personal grooming and hygiene
-
home management—including preparing meals, handling household chores and caring for children
-
work readiness
-
Leisure activities
-
educational performance
In addition, the therapist will develop specific problem-solving strategies to help ensure the patient’s independence in day-to-day activities. Depending on the patient’s needs, these may include modifying the patient’s environment, training the patient in the use of assistive devices and equipment such as orthotics (splints) to improve functional performance, and helping the patient manage his or her energy. Attention is also given to improving and restoring sensory-motor and neuromuscular functioning as well as visual and cognitive-perceptual components of performance.
All of Advanta’s occupational therapists are trained as experts in their individual program areas, and receive advanced certifications in these areas when appropriate and available.
