Similar to Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy will also cover the following areas:

• Help you regain everyday living skills, such as bathing, dressing, feeding and toileting
• Help you and your caregiver learn new or safer ways to manage household chores
• Help you choose and learn to use equipment you may need such as bathroom safety devices, dressing aides and feeding utensils
• Instruct you and your caregiver in safety and fall prevention
• Develop and exercise program to help you recover and maintain your independence/function
• Provide energy conservation techniques for improved activities of daily living

An occupational therapist specializes in rehabilitating the patient to resume normal activities of daily life and/or work. Refitting skills with the help of therapy or through the use of assistive devices that promote mobility can be included into the care program.
