Activities of Daily Living Assessment and Training
ADL training covers various aspects of daily living, e.g. feeding, grooming, dressing, toileting, bathing and home management skills.
Assistive Devices Assessment and Training
Patients are individually assessed on special requirements of assistive devices so as to enhance their independence and safety in day-to-day activities. Our Occupational Therapist will provide detailed guidance and recommendations to patients on choosing the most appropriate assistive device, which includes feeding aids, dressing aids, grooming aids, writing aids, anti-pressure sore cushions/mattresses, bath chairs/ showers, commodes, hoists, hospital beds, etc.
Wheelchair/Seating Assessment and Recommendation
The seating needs of patients are assessed on an individual basis. Our Occupational Therapist will identify and study the seating requirements of different patients, and recommend special seating devices and pressure relieving cushions for posture improvement, pressure relief during sit out and participation in normal activities with the use of a tailor-made seating system.
Pressure Garment
Patients who suffer from burns or have undergone surgeries are prescribed tailor-made pressure garments to reduce scar hypertrophy. Pressure garments and pressure stockings are also provided to patients with lymphoedema and varicose veins to alleviate edema and reduce symptoms related to chronic venous insufficiency.
