OCTH 525 - Adjunctive Methods for Enabling Occupation
Credits: Four (4)
Prerequisite: OCTH-430 and OCTH-510
Corequisite: OCTH-525L
This course focuses on enabling and adaptive components of the occupational therapy intervention process, including low temperature orthotics, prosthetics, and preparatory modalities (superficial thermal, mechanical, deep thermal and electrotherapeutic). Clinical and mechanical principles for low temperature orthotic design and construction are applied. Client assessment, fabrication or customization of orthotic devices, and instructions to client or caregiver are stressed. The safe and proper use of preparatory modalities to facilitate occupational performance are conceptualized.
