Answer 1

In the adult population, OT has a couple of different avenues.  First, most "hand therapists" are OTs.  They focus on patients who have had surgical procedures to the hand or various other hand and elbow related disorders.  Fine motor coordination and function are typical things to address.  

In other settings, OT focuses on the tasks that people need to do for day to day living such as getting dressed, taking a bath, preparing a meal.  OTs that especially work inpatient rehab help patients regain these skills.  Upper extremity function, coordination and staning tolerance are some examples of these that may need to be addressed with this population.
