We use a range of specialist assessments and treatments to diagnose and treat physical, cognitive, behavioural, perceptual and psychological deficits resulting from neurological disease or trauma.
These include:
- Administration of standardised and functional assessments
- Postural management
- Tonal management (including splinting and casting)
- Cognitive rehabilitation
- Training and practice of daily living tasks
- Using everyday activities to regain lost skills (i.e. upper limb function, balance, concentration)
- Provision of equipment and training in compensatory techniques to promote safety and independence
- We work closely with carers and family, involving them in patient assessment and treatment whenever we can
- We offer an advice service to other wards and OT services within the Trust for patients with neurological deficits
We have a key role in providing safe and timely discharges from hospitals. We work closely with multi-disciplinary teams, carers and community agencies to identify and arrange care needs, resolve environmental and housing issues and make appropriate referrals for ongoing rehabilitation.
