SECTION 04
Occupational Therapy
Restoration of functional independence in daily life. Development of fine motor skills, self-sufficiency, and work skills for personal and professional life.
Occupational Therapy at IPR
Occupational therapy at IPR is part of a comprehensive rehabilitation program. It works closely with physiotherapy, neurorehabilitation, and vocational rehabilitation. The goal is not only to improve movement, but primarily to facilitate a return to active and independent living.
Occupational therapy is a rehabilitation discipline focused on restoring, developing, and maintaining the ability to perform routine daily activities. Unlike traditional physiotherapy, which focuses primarily on the musculoskeletal system, occupational therapy is oriented toward the functional application of movement in practical everyday situations.
Each client undergoes an initial assessment, based on which an individual therapy plan is developed. The approach is systematic, progressive, and adapted to the current functional status.
Main Goals of Occupational Therapy
Functional and Motor Goals
- Restoration of fine and gross motor skills
- Improvement of hand grip function
- Training of movement coordination and precision
- Sensory stimulation and stimulus processing
Daily Life and Self-Sufficiency
- Training in self-care (dressing, hygiene, eating)
- Adaptation to health limitations
- Return to work and leisure activities
- Ergonomic counseling
Areas of Focus
Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
Training in routine activities such as dressing, object manipulation, using utensils, and writing.
Fine Motor Skills Development
Exercises focused on precision, coordination, and strength of the hand and fingers.
Sensory Stimulation
Support for stimulus processing and improvement of movement coordination.
Cognitive Training
Development of attention, planning, and organization of activities—particularly for neurological diagnoses.
Ergonomic Counseling
Modification of the work environment and daily habits to minimize strain.
Occupational Therapy for Students
Development of grip and graphomotor skills, hand-eye coordination, development of independence, and preparation for employment.
Occupational Therapy for Students and Children
For children and students, therapy is conducted in a playful manner and focused on developing age-appropriate abilities. IPR works with children with health disadvantages as well as children with developmental difficulties.
Focus of Occupational Therapy for Children
- Development of grip and graphomotor skills
- Support for concentration and attention
- Improvement of hand-eye coordination
- Development of age-appropriate independence
- Preparation for employment (for older students)
- Support for social integration
Occupational therapy for children is closely integrated with sensory therapy and neurorehabilitation—forming one coordinated therapeutic approach.
Every Movement Has Purpose
Occupational therapy at IPR is part of a comprehensive approach. We collaborate with physiotherapists, neurologists, and other specialists to help clients return to a full and meaningful life.
