Rehabilitation
Constraint Induced Movement Therapy
CIMT Is a neurological style of rehabilitation therapy that sets up increased use of affected limbs after a stroke or nerve/brain damage, while reducing use of the non affected limb. Intensive 2-3 hour sessions per day for 2 weeks. Upper limb functional and task-specific retraining: Review level of function on clients’ upper limbs and functional use in everyday activities.
Upper Limb Neurological Exercises
Exercise programmes to improve muscle strengthening and range of motion (ROM) for upper limb post brain or nerve damage, improving functional use of affected limbs in everyday activities.
Neurological Cognitive Retraining
After the completion of cognitive assessments, occupational therapy sessions will identify areas of cognitive limitations resulting from brain injury, and develop strategies to enhance memory retention, information processing, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving skills
Sensory Retraining
Hypersensitivity to sensory stimuli can often be affected after neurological damage, this will impact a person’s function. Also, being unable to detect sensory stimulus adequately during an activity, can decrease activity participation.
Occupational therapy can determine what level of sensory damage has occurred after the neurological deficit and develop exercises to teach clients how to interpret and use their senses in everyday activities.
Positive Behaviour Support
Therapeutic services can assist in assessing and implementing strategies to improve clients’ behaviour after brain injury.
Changes to brain activity after injury can often change behaviours and responses to daily challenges.
Occupational therapy can train clients, family and staff how to implement more positive behavioral responses post Brain injury.
