 Occupational therapy involves people with a variety of upper extremity disorders. These include accidents or traumas leaving them with wounds, scars, burns, injured tendons, fractures or even amputations of the fingers or arms. Many patients seeking the care of occupational therapists are limited from the effects of repetitive motion disorders such as, tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome.
OT's also treat people who suffer from arthritis or neurological conditions. An occupational therapist will evaluate your problem and provide the necessary services, which may include:
-
Informing you about your diagnosis
-
Improving your range of motion, sensation and strength
-
Teaching you ways to protect your joints and conserve energy
-
Analyzing your work environment
-
Teaching you ways to adapt to your job and daily activities
- Fabricating splints to protect/position your hand or improve its function
