Occupational Therapy Dyer IN for Hand Rehabilitation

The role of occupational therapy Dyer IN in hand rehabilitation

Hand rehabilitation is one aspect of occupational therapy Dyer IN that  is concerned with treating upper extremity (hand and arm) conditions to improve the functional use of the hand and arm. Some of the conditions which are treated by occupational therapists who specialize in this area are fractures of the hand or arm, lacerations, amputations, burns and post-surgical recovery. In addition, conditions such as tendonitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome are improved by occupational therapy.occupational therapy Dyer IN

The occupational therapist not only addresses the physical and mechanical issues of the patient who needs hand therapy, but does it in the context of the patient’s real-life activities. The goals of the therapy, then, will be measured by the ability to perform the daily activities that that particular patient requires to get back to a normal life. This is known as a client-centered or occupation-based approach.

Because most people identify themselves in relation to their occupational abilities and life roles, this client-centered approach is especially valuable. The three major benefits include: 

  • The roles and habits of the client are preserved, and the client’s identity is valued
  • The client is motivated to make progress in therapy because they are able to  see a direct relationship between their occupational therapy exercises and being able to resume their regular activities
  • The client participates in their therapy as a partner, which ensures that it will be much more effective and efficient

Occupational therapy may be an important part of your rehabilitation process. Learn more at occupational therapy Dyer IN
