OT-D 608

Advanced Practice Course II

Kristopher Amis

Description from DukeHub

In this 5-week course, students use the occupational therapy process to address UE function and improve participation in occupation through remediation and compensatory approaches. The course reviews assessments and occupational performance analysis skills gained in former OTD courses. These skills are integrated with new health conditions, interventions, and psychosocial issues. Interventions include activities to prepare clients for occupation such as therapeutic activities, therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, custom orthoses, and physical agents (i.e., ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and superficial hot/cold). Interventions also include the use of adaptive devices and task modification to support and challenge UE movement capacities
