Abstract
This case study quantifies and describes outcomes following occupation-based upper extremity (UE) rehabilitation for two patients with different UE conditions. Despite 85% of hand therapists being occupational therapists (OTs), biomechanical intervention and outcomes have predominated. Many OTs in this field have difficulty finding balance between using traditional biomechanical interventions to help improve physical function and focusing on occupation. A shift to occupation-based care focusing on functional performance is currently under way, returning to the foundation of the profession. Balancing both biomechanical and occupational interventions to optimize functional outcomes is exemplified in this case study.
