Occupational Therapy The occupational therapy department at UPMC St. Margaret, part of the UPMC Institute for Rehabilitation and Research, helps people return to their normal level of function in their activities of daily living (ADLs) which can include focus on eating, bathing, dressing, writing, cooking, or driving. Work activities may also be addressed, as would leisure activities. The occupational therapy department serves patients of most ages. Impairments treated include: orthopaedic injuries, work-related injuries, arthritis, effects of aging, or recovering from an injury such as a stroke or automobile accident. Based on the patient’s individualized occupational therapy plan, rehabilitation may include training in ways to perform daily tasks more effectively and safely, therapeutic exercise or activities, hand therapy, and education. During the initial visit, a registered and licensed occupational therapist will evaluate the problem and work with the patient to establish goals for treatment. The experienced staff works closely with a patient’s physician to provide continuity of care. State-of-the-art equipment and intervention allows patients to perform highly defined movements and exercises that measure their rehabilitation progress. Referrals
are accepted from medical doctors. Our Staff
