3. Rehabilitation: Provide hands-on therapy to help patients regain strength, coordination, and fine motor skills.
4. Adaptive Equipment: Recommend and train patients in the use of assistive devices or adaptive equipment to enhance independence.
5. Home Evaluations: Assess patients' living environments to make recommendations for modifications that promote safety and accessibility.
6. Patient Education: Educate patients and their families on techniques and strategies to overcome obstacles and maximize independence.
7. Mental Health Support: Address emotional and psychological aspects of recovery and coping with illness or injury.
8. Collaboration: Work closely with other healthcare professionals, including physicians, nurses, and physical therapists, to coordinate patient care.
9. Progress Monitoring: Continuously assess and adjust treatment plans to track patient progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
