Occupational Therapy and Hands

IM电竞App官网的职业治疗师(OT)经过专门培训，可以评估和治疗您与手部受伤相关的特定需求. 他们评估和协调与你的手有关的损伤护理，这样你就可以回到工作或娱乐活动. 基于职业是一个OT术语，意思是治疗方法是基于客户以及他们在日常生活中想要做的事情, what is fulfilling and meaningful to the client. So, when an Occupational Therapist evaluates a client for a hand or arm injury, such as a broken finger, OT looks at not only how much strength and motion the client has in their hand, but what the client needs to be able to do with their hand in order to return to work, school or return to their every day activities.

OTs then use a variety of methods to help the client reach their goals. These may include manual stretching, strengthening, modalities like heat and cold applications or custom splinting.

职业治疗师也可以帮助向来访者展示如何补偿或如何使用适应性设备，以便在他们以前的角色中发挥作用，或者直到他们的身体能够在以前的水平上再次发挥作用.

Diagnoses seen by Occupational Therapists in hand therapy include fractures of the hand/arm, lacerations and amputations, burns, surgical repairs of tendons and nerves, tendonitis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome
