Wow..I am interning in adult rehab right now and UE therex is only used for people who really need it. Been there six weeks and everything revolves around function.

He was just finishing with a patient as I was starting my evaluation. The PTA came from 20 years of geriatric rehab and rehab experiences. About 1/2 through my eval he said to me, and I quote: "I'm not use to OT's working on functional things". He went on to say that at his rehab facility, the OT's mainly did UE exercises. "Living life to the fullest". What a crock!
