Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational Therapy helps patients improve their ability to perform tasks in living and working environments. It helps them return to their daily occupations and activities, such as using a computer, or caring for daily needs, such as dressing, cooking and eating.
Occupational therapy is sometimes confused with physical therapy. To put it simply, physical therapy is what gets people up and moving. Occupational therapy is what gets people doing things they need to, once they are up and moving. Milford Regional’s occupational therapists are experts at making this happen. They help clients to not only improve their basic motor functions and reasoning abilities, but also help them learn how to compensate for permanent loss of function. Their goal is to help clients have independent, productive and satisfying lives.
Our occupational therapists are very excited about a highly effective addition to their therapeutic equipment at our Milford site called the BTE Simulator II™, which duplicates hundreds of real world job and daily living functions. It is equipped with a set of comprehensive attachments, such as a steering wheel, door knob or screwdriver to name a few, that mimics patients’ every day activities. Offering this most up-to-date version of the simulator sets us apart from all the rest.
When you are dealing with hand injuries, splinting needs, cognitive/perceptual deficits, gross/fine motor coordination or post-surgical needs, our occupational therapists are the ones you want to see. In addition, if your therapy requires specialized equipment, they will provide assistance in locating and ordering whatever is needed. And even better… in many cases, the equipment is available at one or more of our locations for patients to try out before they purchase it for home use. That’s service!
