This course examines the fundamental principles and therapeutic techniques used in occupational therapy for individuals with physical dysfunction. Students will explore the assessment and intervention strategies aimed at improving functional independence, mobility, and quality of life in various populations affected by physical impairments such as neurological, musculoskeletal, and orthopedic conditions. Emphasis is placed on client-centered practice, adaptive approaches, and evidence-based interventions to enable participation in meaningful daily activities. Through lectures, case studies, and hands-on experiences, learners will develop essential skills for evaluating needs, setting goals, designing treatment plans, and collaborating within interdisciplinary healthcare teams.
