Functional Rehabilitation
Functional Rehabilitation approach helps clients regain their independence following injury, illness, or other challenges by targeting their meaningful activities such as self-care tasks, work-related activities, leisure pursuits, and social interactions.
- Assessing the client’s specific needs, goals, and challenges.
- Working with the client to establish functional goals that are relevant to their life roles and activities. These goals guide the therapy process and ensure that the interventions are aligned with the client’s aspirations.
- Analyse the specific activities the client wants to improve or regain. This involves breaking down the activity into its component parts and identifying the physical, cognitive, and emotional skills required to perform it.
- May modify or adapt activities to match the client’s current abilities while gradually challenging them to increase their skill level. These adaptations may include using assistive devices, altering the environment, or breaking down the activity into simpler steps.
- We consider the client’s living environment, work setting, and community involvement. This ensures that therapy addresses the client’s ability to function effectively in their current situations.
- Interventions are tailored to the client’s individual preferences and goals. The focus is on helping the client regain skills that directly impact their ability to participate in daily activities and routines.
- Practicing the actual activities the client wants to improve. For example, if a client’s goal is to cook a meal independently, therapy sessions might involve chopping vegetables, using kitchen tools, and organising the cooking process.
- Supporting the client through a gradual progression of activities. The difficulty level is increased incrementally as the client’s skills improve, helping them build confidence and competence over time.
- Positive feedback and Reinforcement is used to encourage client as they work towards their goals. Celebrating achievements supports motivation and engagement.
