The purpose of occupational therapy is to enhance and maintain patients' physical, mental, and social abilities in daily life.

Individuals undergoing rehabilitation at Grensás after injury or illness often struggle with everyday activities that once felt simple, such as:

• Dressing

• Cooking

• Working

• Driving

• Engaging in hobbies

These tasks may feel overwhelming and difficult to manage.

Skills Training

Occupational therapists specialize in assessing strengths and identifying challenges in daily tasks, finding ways to overcome these difficulties, and helping patients rebuild skills for independent living.

Alongside training for self-care, household tasks, work, and leisure, therapists conduct home and workplace assessments and evaluate driving ability when needed. They also provide guidance on selecting and acquiring assistive devices.

The Process

Occupational therapists determine the need for therapy in collaboration with the patient and the rehabilitation team using the OTIPM service model. After interventions, they:

• Evaluate progress using assessment tools and discharge the patient or

• Revise goals and restart the process if further therapy is required.

Throughout rehabilitation at Grensás, a holistic and interdisciplinary approach is maintained, ensuring collaboration with the patient at every step.
