Occupational Therapy

Regain Independence and Confidence

Occupational therapy is an important part of stroke rehabilitation. At our Stroke Rehabilitation Centre in Uganda, we provide personalised occupational therapy to help stroke survivors regain independence and participate in everyday activities. Our occupational therapists assess each patient and develop a rehabilitation programme based on their abilities, challenges, and recovery goals.

Activities of Daily Living and Independence

A stroke can make everyday activities such as dressing, eating, bathing, grooming, and moving around more difficult. Our occupational therapy helps patients develop the skills and confidence needed to perform daily activities as independently as possible.

Therapy may focus on:

Dressing and personal grooming
Eating and drinking
Bathing and toileting
Bed and chair transfers
Household activities
Functional use of the hands and arms
Developing safe and effective daily routines

Our goal is to help stroke survivors regain independence in their everyday lives.

Home and Community Reintegration

Returning home and participating in the community are important parts of stroke recovery. Our occupational therapists help patients prepare for everyday activities outside the rehabilitation centre.

Therapy may include support with:

Returning to household activities
Moving safely around the home
Using public and community spaces
Participating in social activities
Returning to school or work where appropriate
Adapting activities to the patient’s abilities

We help patients build the confidence and skills needed to participate more fully in their homes and communities.

Cognitive and Perceptual Rehabilitation

A stroke can sometimes affect memory, attention, problem-solving, visual perception, and the ability to plan or organise activities.

Our cognitive and perceptual rehabilitation helps patients work on these skills through structured and meaningful activities.

Therapy may focus on:

Memory and attention
Problem-solving
Planning and organisation
Visual and spatial awareness
Following instructions
Completing everyday tasks
Improving cognitive skills needed for independence

Our therapists use activities that are relevant to the patient’s daily life and recovery goals.

Why Occupational Therapy?

Stroke recovery is different for every person. Occupational therapy helps stroke survivors work towards greater independence by focusing on the skills needed for everyday life. At our Stroke Rehabilitation Centre in Uganda, we provide patient-centred occupational therapy designed around each person's abilities, challenges, and recovery goals.
