Occupational Medicine Questions Occupational Therapy

When should my mom start occupational therapy?

My mom had a stroke a week ago, and is still recovering. She's in physical therapy right now to help get her strength back for walking, but I think she needs to also be in occupational therapy. Do you think she should be doing this as well?

OT can be particularly helpful in the early phase after a stroke! I encourage you to request this intervention and referral from your physician. Seek out an OT with specialty experience in stroke and neurological conditions.
