Chronological Rehabilitation Treatment Varying by Stage for Constructive Disability

Abstract

Constructive disability poses significant challenges. However, such manifestations are often overlooked. To address these disabilities, customized rehabilitation is necessary across disease stages. This case report demonstrates how customized, stage-based occupational therapy interventions can effectively rehabilitate patients with progressive constructive disability. Herein, a 33-year-old female patient with progressive constructive disability underwent direct training and compensatory therapy in early stages and progressed to instrumental activities of daily living training in later stages. This case demonstrates how such customized, progressive occupational therapy can achieve substantial functional improvements even for patients with advancing cognitive and physical impairments from constructive disability.
