Description

This course presents the theory and rationale of competency-based occupational therapy and evidence-based interventions for clients with orthopedic deficits. Students will apply biomechanical frames of reference, evaluation and treatment to the specific problems limiting a clients independence in basic or instrumental activities of daily living. These performance limitations may include ROM, strength, pain, sensory loss, endurance, work conditioning, posture, ergonomics and other physical disabilities.
