The role of an OT working with people with
Parkinson’s is to enable meaningful occupational performance within context. This
entails the selecting, organising and performing of activities and roles in a
particular environment and with a particular meaning for the individual. Occupational performance comes about through
a dynamic interaction of the person, occupation and environment (American
Occupational Therapy Association, 2002).
There is optimal occupational performance when there is a good fit
between the individuals desires and skills and the demands of the occupation
and the environment. (Sturkenboom et al, 2008). The
OT’s have four main roles-problem solver, educator, networker, and supporter (Aragon
& Kings, 2010).

ReplyDeleteAfter was running around from doctor to doctor before we finally get rid of her PD ,at age 74 my mother noticed that her handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster as well. She also noticed a small tremor in her left hand. The doctor went over her different symptoms and he suspected she either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson 's disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing she was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 3 years ago. She take Sinimet four times a day to control the symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech,This year, our family doctor started her on multivitamincare. org PD Herbal mixture, 15 weeks into treatment she improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain or tremors.
