US Mountain Standard Time, tarafette...@yahoo.com writes: hi all, my name is tara and i too am a student with the same group. the difference with me is that i've done PT the past 15 years and now am trading sides to OT. Why you may ask? #1 is the stress to my body, just wont be able to do for 35 more years or more.(since retirement is getting older) some differences: PT is now a doctorate program. OT is now a master's program. they say that PT gets you there, and OT give you something to do once your there. as far as what services are best, it really depends on what your problem is and even then, all therapists have some specialty so you need to make sure they have experience with your issue, more than just what they learned in theory. both do wheelchairs, however if you need custom, you are best with a RESNA certified ATP (assistive technology provider) -that's an extra exam and credentials either may obtain. since i am new to this i dont know if it posted to everyone. please help.

Thank You for your candidate reply and no argument from me as how you explained your positive goal for your clients when you graduate. One question I've always had is in a perfect world a client in need would have the service of both an OT or PT. However in the present economy, not all clients are faced with the perfect world. That being the case, which is more important? The services of an Occupational Therapist or that of a Physical Therapist? I realize this is a touchy question as it is usually the rehab doctors that orders or not order the various therapies. And I also realize that clients vary, depending on their goals. So I guess I just have to ask you to plead your need. What say ?? Best (lol) Wishes W In a message dated 1/20/2009 8:49:05 P.M.

To answer the question whats the difference between OT and PT is OT wants you and tries to help you reengage in your prior occupations like school, work, selfcare. We even care about the past lesuire activites that interest our clients. Pt wants you to build strength and stamina, however, getting you back into your roles as a student, parent, husband or wife etc.... is not their complete comcern. In OT its the basis of all our intereventions. does that help? what do you think girls. ____________________________________ From: wheelch...@aol.com Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 20:53:06 -0500 Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] Baclofen q's....

To: "q-list" <_quad-l...@eskimo.com_ (mailto:quad-list@eskimo.com) > Date: Monday, January 19, 2009, 1:29 PM I would like to know who uses baclofen and the side effects you experience; like hypotension (which I already suffer from), or any side effects. I took this drug right after my accident in '88, but that was 20 yrs. ago and my memory did not log any recollection of the side effects. Below is a news link; a doctor claims it worked for his addiction to alcohol, it got me thinking of changing my spasm medicine. I do not suffer from alcohol addiction; but I take diazapam for spasms, and was going to talk to my doc about baclofen for the spasms. I was just recently diagnosed with inherited Cardiomyopathy; so I was wondering about any cardio side effects as well, which I will find out when I have another echo cardiogram next week. _http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo..com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=11605466&ch=4226 723&src=news_ (http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/player/popup/?rn=3906861&cl=11605466&ch=4226723&src=news) Tim c5 c6 _WhoopieKat.com_ (http://www.whoopiekat.com/) ____________________________________ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. _See yours in just 2 easy steps!_ (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100000075x1216817552x1201106465/aol?redir=http://www.f reecreditreport.com/pm/default.aspx?sc=668072&hmpgID=82&bcd=DecemailfooterNO82 ) ____________________________________ A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. _See yours in just 2 easy steps!_ (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100000075x1215855013x1201028747/aol?redir=http://www .freecreditreport.com/pm/default.aspx?sc=668072&hmpgID=62&bcd=DecemailfooterNO 62) ____________________________________ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat.
