The first part introduces the concept of a structured approach in the assessment of patients in neurorehabilitation. The overall role of computers is broken down into seven potential areas where they may be of benefit: communication, motor skills, cognitive functions, social skills, mood, work and leisure. There are many different treatment approaches that are used with computers in neurorehabilitation, ranging from remediation of lost skills to adaptation of function. The second part uses a case study to demonstrate the methods of assessment and the practical techniques that are used to overcome everyday issues. The overall conclusion is that computers can become an integral part of neurorehabilitation and it is essential for occupational therapists to gain a greater insight into their use in order to enhance their patients' independence and quality of life. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
