Supportive TherapiesOccupational Therapy
Occupational therapy helps people with muscle weakness learn new ways to complete daily tasks at home, in school, and at work. The therapy may consist of specific exercises to help maintain strength and dexterity (the skill and ease with which you use your hands). Therapy can help people learn to use adaptive devices that make it easier to do activities of daily living (such as bathing, dressing, and cooking), participate in school activities, or perform job duties. Occupational therapists may also recommend special equipment or changes that can be made in the classroom or workplace to help people with progressive muscle weakness function well in these environments.
