Occupational Therapy Vi
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The aim of the course is to provide knowledge in identifying the needs of the patient, to use tools and techniques, such as orthoses, assistive technology, prostheses and interventions that are part of occupational therapy, such as environmental adaptations and home interventions; to be able to apply this knowledge to the needs of the individual, looking into the social, motor and psychorelational aspects of the disabled person.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student will be able to
·describe specific tools and techniques, in particular assistive technologies and home environmental adaptations, which are part of occupational therapy, to be able to apply them to patients' individual, social, motor, cognitive and psychorelational needs;
· apply the concepts of ergonomics to the problems of autonomy in the activities of daily living of patients with physical and / or mental disabilities;
· conceive, design, manufacture products individually or in groups;
· analyze the activity referring also to clinical cases.
· describe the rehabilitation process in persons suffering from peripheral lesions of the upper limb;
· construct and apply orthosis for the upper limb in peripheral or central lesions;

Course syllabus
Occupational Therapy with patients in vegetative/unresponsive wakefulness and minimally conscious state
definition of vegetative/unresponsive wakefulness and minimally conscious state; learn about the main assessment tools used in clinical practice; learn about the rehabilitation process of patients in vegetative/unresponsive wakefulness and minimally conscious state in Severe Brain Injury Units; learn about the role of the rehabilitation team and the specific role of occupational therapy with persons with severe brain injuries; the importance of the environment and the use of assistive technology.
The science of occupational therapy
Establish and correctly formulate the objectives of the following evaluations: SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Time Related), AMPS (Assessment Motor Process Skills), ESI (Evaluation of Social Interaction)
Assistive technology and augmentative communication
The topics and methodology in the use of assistive technologies for alternative augmentative communication will be explored through theory and practice using clinical cases in adult and developmental age.
Occupational therapy intervention at home and in the community
discuss the implications of the OT services at home; to whom the services are directed; how to access the services; professionals who collaborate with OT at home; theoretical and practical concepts of OT at home: fundamental principles; the stages of the home care process; clinical cases related to patients at home, environmental assessment and job reintegration.
Principles for splinting of the upper extremity
splinting theory of the arm and hand: the anatomical and mechanical principles; the use of three types of hand orthoses; realization of three basic models of hand orthoses (laboratory).
Cooking workshop
Through group work, experiment the implicit and explicit therapeutic aspects of cooking.
Sensory aspects of cooking (theory and individual laboratory); The creation of a dish in teamwork; Analysis of the activity through lived experience.
Theoretical and practical elements on occupational therapy intervention with children with motor coordination disorder / dysgraphia / attention disorder with or without hyperactivity
Clinical reasoning, motor and cognitive prerequisites, assessment, reinforcement, intervention in the environment.
