For many people, aging at home is an important goal. Occupational therapists can help older adults maintain safety and independence in their homes, especially following an injury or illness, by:

• Teaching adaptive strategies with dressing, grooming, cooking, or eating
• Recommending home modifications like grab bars, improved lighting, and removal of tripping hazards
• Providing organizational techniques to remember important tasks
• Training individuals on the proper use of adaptive equipment
Through these strategies and others, occupational therapists can help older adults prevent injuries and maintain as much independence and quality of life as possible.

Many individuals who have undergone an amputation experience phantom limb pain, which is a sensation of pain, tingling, or discomfort that feels like it is coming from a limb that’s no longer there.

Phantom pain occurs because the brain and nervous system continue to send and receive signals related to the missing limb. Researchers believe phantom limb pain can occur due to several factors, including:
• Neurological changes where the brain’s sensory map still recognizes the missing limb
• Misfiring of nerve signals from nerves that were severed
• Scar tissue formation that places pressure on nearby nerves
• Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, or depression that may intensify pain symptoms
Rehabilitation can help manage phantom limb pain and improve quality of life. Treatment may include desensitization techniques, stretching, massage, and prosthetic training to help the body adapt after a limb loss.
