OT for Stroke: Restoring Independence, One Task at a Time
When a stroke affects your ability to get dressed, use a phone, or prepare a meal, even the smallest victories can feel like major wins. At Florida Movement Therapy Centers, our occupational therapists help patients in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach reclaim their independence through personalized care focused on real-life function.
How Occupational Therapy Supports Stroke Survivors
OT focuses on helping individuals regain the skills needed for:
- Self-care (dressing, grooming, toileting)
- Household tasks (cooking, cleaning, organizing)
- Cognitive tasks (planning, memory, attention)
- Visual and motor skills (hand-eye coordination, perception)
- Use of adaptive tools to promote independence
We go beyond exercise—we help people relearn how to live.
A Family-Centered Approach
Our therapists work closely with families to create realistic care goals, teach strategies for home safety, and introduce tools that ease daily life. We believe that caregiver involvement is a key part of success.
Research Shows Real Impact
New findings from the Journal of Occupational Therapy confirm that stroke survivors who engage in targeted daily-living therapy within 30 days of their stroke show significant gains in confidence, cognitive processing, and independence.
Key Takeaways
- OT helps restore functional, real-life independence.
- Therapy is highly personalized for each patient.
- Families play an important role in successful recovery.
