POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

From stroke recovery to a proposal! 💍

OT helped my patient regain the strength, coordination, and confidence to kneel, hold the ring, type his speech, and create a meaningful gift using his affected hand.

This took a lot of planning and coordinating for so many parts but was so worth it! Stories like this are why occupational therapy matters.

To see it all come together…there are no words. I’m so proud to play a part in big moments like this that bring so much joy and meaning to my patients! 🧡

Walking the dog. 🐕 Picking up after your pet. 💩 These everyday tasks might seem simple, but for someone recovering from a stroke, they can present real challenges.

That’s where occupational therapy comes in! 🦊

After a stroke impacted his hand function and mobility, this FOX patient has a meaningful goal: getting back to caring for his dog safely and independently. 🐾

Through creative, functional activities, his occupational therapy team is helping him practice:

🐾 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 while bending and reaching to pick up after his dog.

🐾 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 needed to manage a leash and waste bags.

🐾 𝗠𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 by simulating the pulling and unpredictable movements of a dog on a leash.

Before introducing this simulation, Amanda Cable, OTD, OTR/L worked with her patient on foundational skills through smaller, progressive interventions. After assessing his abilities and readiness, she determined he was prepared for this next step in his therapy.

These activities are performed in a controlled, supervised environment and tailored to the patient’s individual abilities and goals. This video offers just a small glimpse into his individualized plan of care, with his occupational therapy team continuing to assess his readiness to safely return to these activities in everyday life.

Occupational therapy isn’t just about exercises. It’s about helping people return to the everyday activities that give their lives meaning, purpose, and independence.

And sometimes, that means getting a little creative to simulate real-life challenges and help patients build the skills and confidence to safely return to the activities they love! 🧡

POV: You’re a geriatric OT! ✨

One minute you’re working on dressing and home safety, the next you’re problem-solving a bathroom setup, talking fall prevention, and finding creative ways to help someone get back to the routines they love.

For Amanda Cable, OTD, OTR/L, no two days look exactly the same—but every day is centered around helping older adults live with greater independence, confidence, and purpose. 🧡

Sometimes the most meaningful therapy goals are the ones that help patients get back to the people and moments they love most. 🧡

Amanda Cable, OTD, OTR/L, shares a few of the goals she’s been working toward with patients in her senior living community — and they’re about so much more than completing a task.

🏠 Improving fine motor skills to help a spouse with household chores
✍️ Writing a book of her life story to share with her great granddaughter
💊 Managing medications more independently
🎲 Building the skills to play games with grandchildren

Because progress isn’t just measured by what you can do — it’s what those abilities allow you to keep doing with the people you love.

At FOX, therapy starts with what matters most to the patient. 🦊🧡

Do you have a patient who doesn’t like using a shoe horn? Or do you have a patient who can’t efficiently use a shoe horn?

Well, let me introduce you to the shoe funnel!

This is only a small example of the endless possibilities and potential we can provide to patients to improve safe independence for daily activities.

Have you used or heard of a shoe funnel before? 👟
