Occupational therapy is a field of rehabilitation which deals with the restoration of functional abilities of individuals following physical, neurological and mental trauma or disease. Functional skills refer to the ability of a person to do daily activities, which may range from general self-care tasks such as feeding or dressing to specific activities of work such as writing or the use of computers.

Many disease processes, traumatic conditions, birth-related problems, and issues related to old age or mental health can affect the capacity to perform the daily function. These conditions will result in several disabling consequences like poor balance, coordination, mental instability, cognition, sensation, memory, pain, muscle weakness, swelling, joint movement limitation, impaired hand function, and loss of part of a limb or whole. All of these eventually compromise the person’s ability to do daily activities. For example, a person with hemiplegia cannot self-feed, has difficulty grooming and dressing independently, cannot commute to work, sign documents, count money, use his keyboard, etc. Through its various therapeutic interventions, occupational therapy aims to restore, rehabilitate or prevent problems that compromise functional independence.
