It’s similar in that it helps restore strength and mobility. However, occupational therapy focuses on helping people improve their ability to perform daily tasks by modifying the physical environment and using adaptive techniques and equipment to increase independence.
Prior to your discharge, a plan will be developed that determines any equipment needs and in-home services you may require.
The right course of occupational therapy will help seniors overcome challenges caused as the result of illness, injury, surgery — even the early stages of memory loss and dementia — and help seniors regain independence. Therapists focus on regaining independence in two main areas:: ADLs and IADLS. Activities of daily living (ADLs) are important to being able to live independently and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) are also a marker of independence, but we don’t necessarily do them every day, however, they’re just as noticeable when it comes to the loss of functioning.
