Children and young people with health problems or disabilities need therapy to improve and maintain their physical and cognitive abilities. Occupational therapy plays a major role in this! World Occupational Therapy Day is 27 October 2020 and is an opportunity to heighten the visibility of the professions work.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the children who benefits greatly from occupational therapy is Luke. Luke, whose full name is Thomas-Lukas, is twelve years old and is affected by a particularly severe form of cerebral palsy<\/a>. In order to cope with his everyday life, he is dependent on aids. Besides an electric wheelchair adapted to his needs, Luke also has an individual therapy chair and much more.<\/p>\n

“Standing time” is important<\/strong>\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Luke\u2018s disability means that he cannot stand or walk on his own, he often spends time in another aid – the standing trainer. This gives him a change from sitting all the time. Sitting too long restricts the function of the cardiovascular system and in the worst case leads to pressure sores. Especially for physically severely restricted patients, “standing times” should be a fixed part of the therapy plan.<\/p>\n

till.<\/em><\/a> supports Luke when standing<\/strong><\/p>\n

till.<\/em><\/a> is exactly the right standing trainer for Luke, because it stretches the hips and supports the curvature of the spine. The shoulder girdle becomes freer and the fine motor activities of the 12-year-old are much more successful. In the standing trainer he can even use his cumminication aid and talk to his environment.<\/p>\n

More activity in everyday life through ergotherapy<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is exactly what occupational therapy aims to do: more activity and participation in everyday life! In the standing trainer, Luke succeeds in this particularly well thanks to the support while standing.<\/p>\n

\nWhy occupational therapy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Occupational therapy supports and accompanies people of all ages who are restricted in their ability to act or are threatened by restrictions. The aim is to strengthen them in carrying out activities that are important to them in the areas of self-care, productivity and leisure in their personal environment.<\/p>\n

Specific activities, environmental adaptation and counselling serve to enable people to act in everyday life, to participate in society and to improve their quality of life.<\/p>\n

When is World Occupational Therapy Day?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The World Day of Occupational Therapy takes place annually on 27 October.<\/p>\n

The World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) created World Occupational Therapy Day in 2010 to highlight the competence, skills, therapeutic methods and ways of occupational therapy.<\/p>\n<\/div>
