Visual Perceptual Retrieval Task
Occupational Therapy Intervention : Visual Perceptual
Documentation and Activity Rationale
The patient engaged in a visual-perceptual retrieval task in which he was challenged with navigating the environment, motor planning, floor level reaching, dynamic balance, gait clearance, and LE strengthening for scaling the aerobic stepper. The patient was asked to pick up 3 beanbags with specified colored and displayed poor auditory processing and trunk flexion in order to successfully complete the task. The patient was noted to pull the bean bag up his leg in order to efficiently grasp it.
Grading Strategies
Grading Up:
- longer obstacle course
- more hurdles/activity
- integrate dual-tasking
Grading Down:
- place items on elevated surfaces
- decrease stepper height
- “pick up as many as you can”
Appropriate Diagnoses / Deficits
- balance deficits
- memory Changes
- CVA
- TBI
