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! 🧡

Three Purple Hearts. A lifetime of service. And a powerful reminder to never stop working toward what matters. 🇺🇸❤️

On this week’s episode of FOX Rehabilitation’s Live Better Longer podcast, we meet FOX patient and decorated U.S. Veteran Carl Lowe.

Following back and neck surgeries, Carl faced functional limitations that made everyday life more challenging. With the support of his FOX physical and occupational therapy team, he worked toward meaningful goals, regained function, and celebrated milestones—including attending a Purple Heart proclamation ceremony in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Throughout his journey, Carl has carried the same mindset that has guided him through life:

💬 “Work hard. Anything worth doing is worth doing right.”

🎙️ Tune in to hear Carl’s inspiring story and how rehabilitation became a team effort in helping him continue doing what matters most.

Every day feels a little like Grandparents Day when you’re surrounded by this much wisdom! 🥹🧡

For Amanda Cable, OTD, OTR/L, one of the sweetest parts of being an occupational therapist is getting to know the incredible older adults she works with — hearing their life stories, learning from their experiences, and soaking up all the wisdom and advice they have to share.

They may be our patients, but they sure feel a lot like bonus grandparents! 🫶

Happy Grandparents Day to all the amazing grandparents who make our days a little brighter, our hearts a little fuller, and remind us there’s always something to learn from the generations before us!

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. 🦊🧡

A true salute to service, sacrifice, and strength! 🇺🇸

FOX’s Pamela Thrower, PT, and Amanda Cable, OTD, OTR/L, have had the privilege of working with Carl R. Lowe through physical and occupational therapy, while Carl continues building on his progress with FOX Wellness.

Carl’s story is one of extraordinary service and resilience. He served our country in both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps, including combat service in Vietnam. Wounded three times in combat, Carl received three Purple Hearts, along with numerous other military honors recognizing his courage, leadership, and sacrifice.

Recently, Carl had another special moment to celebrate. With the support of therapy, he was able to confidently attend a Purple Heart Proclamation event, standing tall with a true veteran stance and salute as he was recognized for his extraordinary service and sacrifice and the City of Baton Rouge proclaimed August as Purple Heart Month. 💜

Carl has carried the same discipline and determination that defined his military service throughout his life—from overcoming challenges after Vietnam to competing in the Senior Olympics and now continuing to prioritize his strength and mobility.

In Carl’s words: “Work hard. Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Give it your all.”

We are incredibly honored to play a small part in Carl’s journey and grateful for the opportunity to recognize his remarkable legacy.

Thank you for your service, Carl. We salute you! 🇺🇸
