Ron, The 6 areas that you gave as examples of deficits for your hypothetical patient with the CVA could all easily be addressed in the amount of time that is typical within the inpatient rehab. setting. I feel that addressing as many of them as possible allows me to not only address the primary occupational deficit(s) that the patient has identified, but also gives the patient a foundation of remediation that they can draw upon to address other occupations upon return home. I also find it curious that you feel the need to attach such a negative connotation to the medical model, as it is the one that ALL disciplines who work within hospitals function within, OT included. and no, I am not referring to some odd need to address only UE rehab., as that is a completely separate issue from functioning within a medical model.
I'm curious to hear your response to the question I posed in the previous post. Ann *********��*********** Unsubscribe?
