OTA 215L — Adult Rehabilitation Lab (3 Credits, Fall)
This lab course combines, synthesizes, and builds upon learning gained in the didactic lecture courses of both Adult Physical Dysfunction ( OTA 215 ) and Geriatric Occupational Therapy (OTA 235). Lab work will provide a hands-on introduction to treatment planning and intervention implementation techniques commonly used with neurological and physical dysfunction disorders across the adult continuum, as well as the impact they have on occupational performance areas and components. Lab sessions emphasize the application of theory to assessment and treatment techniques for specific conditions typical of adults. Students will determine adaptations in the areas of basic activities of daily living; instrumental activities of daily living, mobility, positioning, and adaptive equipment; and splinting for hand injuries. Fine and gross motor assessment procedures will be covered with the expectation that the student develops entry-level proficiency. This course provides students with an opportunity to practice increasingly complex treatment strategies in simulated conditions.
