Occupational Therapy Management of Activities of Daily Living in Neuromuscular Disease

Symptom management of individuals with neuromuscular disease (NMD) requires a specialized approach by occupational therapists (OTs). The cause, symptoms, and rate of progression vary greatly among different conditions and individuals. OTs have unique skills that are essential to the multidisciplinary management of NMD via assessment and interventions aimed at optimizing activities of daily living (ADLs).
