Physical therapists also provide vestibular retraining to patients with balance/coordination problems and may work with a variety of other disorders such as temporomandibular dysfunction or chronic migraines.
• Occupational Therapy: Occupational therapists help a patient maximize his or her independence, prevent disability and maintain health. Occupational therapists teach daily living skills, develop perceptual motor skills and integrate sensory functioning. They can provide adaptive equipment assessment and training, adapt an environment for a disabled patient, develop positioning programs and educate patients in many areas, including energy conservation, joint protection and safety awareness.
• Speech Pathology: Speech pathologists provide assessment, management, and remediation of communicative, cognitive, voice, fluency and swallowing disorders. This may involve working with individuals who have suffered a stroke or traumatic brain injury as well as varied other neurological impairments (i.e. Alzheimers, Parkinson's, aneurysm, etc). Patients with hearing problems, oral/neck cancers, laryngeal trauma, vocal cord dysfunction, respiratory problems and developmental delays may also benefit from speech pathology services.
• Licensed Social Worker: A social worker assists in improving or maintaining the social, emotional, functional, and physical health status of the patient. They help to enhance the capabilities and coping skills of the family and other caregiver's systems and ensure that a patient's needs are being met in the home environment. A social worker may assess social/emotional factors, counsel for long-range planning and decision making , plan for community resources for the patient, and provide short-term therapy.
• Dietician: A dietician is trained to identify patients at high nutritional risk and individualize medication nutrition therapy to the specific needs of the patient. They provide nutritional counseling, help develop health eating habits, and improve the nutritional status of patients which may help improve their outcome and/or quality of life.
