Our Orthopedic Occupational Therapy Services

Our inpatient occupational therapists will evaluate your functional limitations and needs following your orthopedic surgery, and then we will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan to address those needs. Your treatment plan may include:

  • Addressing your home safety needs
  • Helping you learn how to complete the activities of daily life, such as taking care of yourself, getting around in the community, etc.
  • Improving your mobility and teaching you how to move around safely in your normal environment (e.g., in and out of bed or the bathtub, on and off of chairs, etc.)
  • Providing recommendations and training in the use of equipment to help you adapt to functional changes
  • Working with you on upper-limb exercise programs

Education for both you and your loved ones is a critical component of occupational therapy. Depending on your unique needs and interests, your occupational therapist may focus on training you to use adaptive equipment and techniques to help you maximize your ability to participate in everyday activities after your surgery.

When appropriate, we will refer you to continued occupational therapy services to ensure your continued recovery and improved function after your discharge from the hospital.

Our inpatient service hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
