  • Teach patients new ways to complete tasks and daily activities, including recommendations for ergonomic practices and assistive devices.
  • Patient Education and Support :

  • Educate patients and their families about the rehabilitation process, techniques, and strategies for enhancing functional independence.
  • Provide guidance on using adaptive equipment and tools (e.g., splints, mobility aids, etc.).
  • Offer emotional support and encouragement throughout the recovery process.
  • Collaboration and Communication :

  • Work closely with other healthcare professionals, including doctors, physical therapists, speech therapists, and nursing staff, to provide comprehensive care.

  • Rehabilitation and Recovery :

  • Monitor and reassess patient progress regularly to ensure therapy goals are being met.

  • Advocacy and Community Resources :

  • Advocate for patients to ensure access to necessary resources and support services.
  • Provide patients and families with information about community programs, support groups, and other resources that may assist in their rehabilitation.
