Orthopedic injuries
A fracture, a sprain, or a worn joint becomes an occupational therapy problem when it stops you from dressing, bathing, cooking, or getting through the house.
Who this helps
- A fracture, sprain, or joint injury changed daily tasks
- You are in a sling, boot, or brace and cannot do self-care the old way
- Pain is deciding which chores get skipped
- Surgery is behind you and home still feels hard
What a visit includes
- Practice of the tasks the injury blocks
- Ways to protect the joint while you wash, dress, and cook
- Equipment that makes the first weeks safer
- A plan that respects your physician's precautions
