Content: Postulates regarding change and intervention –
This postulate creates links between functional outcomes and specific adaptive devices, modification and procedure. Frequently the methods of the rehabilitation approach are used in combination with biomechanical or sensorimotor approaches. First, biomechanical or sensorimotor principles can be applied during rehabilitation activities to enhance and reinforce the restoration of the sensorimotor and cognitive components. Second, the treatment program often focuses on performance areas and performance components simultaneously. Thus the restoration of sensorimotor, cognitive, and psychosocial functions are combined to improve functioning in the performance areas. The treatment methods of the rehabilitation approach include modalities such as the following –
# Self-care evaluation and training
# Acquisition and training in Assistive devices
# Adaptive devices,
# Adaptive clothing,
# Homemaking and child care
# Work simplification and energy conservation,
# work related activities,
# Orthotics and prosthetic training,
# Environmental modification,
# Wheelchair modification and management,
# Ambulatory devices,
# Community transportation
# Architectural adaptations
# adapted procedure and safety education (Dutton)
