Content: Its duty of a therapist to find out the problem in subsystems of an open system. i.e volition, habituation, and performance. If there is a problem in one of the subsystem, for example in performance subsystem. We know that performance depends on the skills available or defect in skill. Skill impairment may occur to any injury or problem in the musculoskeletal or neurologic system. The therapist will focus on the skill training and primary goal will be to resume his/her occupation. Occupational therapists remediate occupational dysfunction by directly providing an occupation in which the person engages as therapy, counseling, and problem solving with the person to identify and alter a maladaptive occupational lifestyle, and facilitating engagement in occupation by improving the fit between the person and his or her environment.
