Occupational Therapy 10/14/2010

Even though Suzy still has no sensation in her right arm, in Occupational Therapy the goal is to continue working and exercising the arm. Even though Suzy's brain can't feel the arm, she can still send messages to it to move the arm. By continuing to engage the arm this way, when she gets the feeling back her movements will be more controlled.

Occupational Therapy: therapy based on engagement in meaningful activities of daily life which restore a physically disabled person's ability to perform activities such as walking, eating, drinking, dressing, toileting and bathing.
