Rehabilitation : occupational therapy, physical therapy & rehabilitation therapy

Scope

Occupational Therapy is the field concerned with utilizing craft or work activities in the rehabilitation of patients. Occupational therapy can also refer to the activities themselves.

Physical Therapy is the field concerned with the physical aspects of a medical illness and specializes in the use of exercise and perhaps assistive devices to help patients restore or facilitate normal function of musculoskeletal, neurological or cardiopulmonary conditions.

Rehabilitation Therapy is a more extensive combination of various therapeutic modalities to help return patients to an optimal functioning level who are recovering from a wide range of surgeries, illnesses, injuries and ongoing medical conditions. Rehabilitation Therapy may include any or all techniques employed in occupational therapy, physical therapy, hand therapy, speech and language therapies, cardiotherapy, or other allied health therapies.
