Occupational analysis of the home: COPD and hip surgery

This simulation involves a role-play with Maria, a 70-year-old recovering from hip surgery and living with COPD. Her goals include independence in self-care, symptom management, maintaining household roles, and social participation. Students will conduct an occupational and home analysis (with a focus on the bathroom, variations possible), identify her needs, and define goals as a basis for future interventions to enhance mobility and quality of life.

Bathroom safety in OT: Simulation with family dynamics

Hands-on cases / arina.ventela

The client to be observed has been diagnosed with both diabetic retinopathy and type 2 DM, is overweight, at risk of falling due to dizziness and has a history of a radius fracture due to a fall in the bathroom on the way to the shower.

Making Breakfast Work: ADL Observation and Assistive Advice After a Wrist Fracture

Hands-on cases / arina.ventela

The client who is being observed has been diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy as well as DM type 2 and has restrictions on movement and strength of the dominant hand because of a radius fracture after falling on the ground. The aim of this simulation is to observe the everyday situation “preparing breakfast” and identify relevant restrictions based on the diagnoses.
