Brief Note on Occupational Therapy for Enhancing Upper Limb Function

Carolina Clement

Occupational therapy is a type of therapy that helps individuals improve their ability to perform daily activities, such as self-care, work, and leisure. When an individual experiences a loss or decline in upper limb function, occupational therapists use a range of interventions to help them regain their ability to perform these activities. In this article, we will discuss the use of occupational therapy for enhancing upper limb function. Upper limb function is essential for individuals to perform a range of daily activities, including self-care tasks such as dressing and grooming, household tasks such as cooking and cleaning, and work-related tasks such as typing or using tools. Loss of upper limb function can occur due to a range of conditions, including stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury.
