Rehabilitation/reablement, cognitive, functional, bobath 

Repetiviteness of an activity is the best approach.  Whatever actual technique you use (NDT, PNF, etc), as an occupational therapist your focus is on purposeful, meaningful tasks and activities (occupations) so please do not do silly repetive "exercises". OT doesn't need more cone stacking. There is much to be said by doing basic personal care tasks every single day starting from very acute stages - the therapists job is to ensure that you are helping the client to use as normal movement patterns while doing those tasks as possible through techniques to normalize tone, prevent deformities, focusing on balance, etc.

The best approach is the improvement of independence.

This can be achieved by helping patients overcome practical difficulties at work, home and in their lifestyles.

Interventions include practising tasks, developing new skills, relearning new ways of doing things and becoming more confident carrying out their activities of daily living (ADLs).

Neurodevelopmental technique approach -  Bobath, PNF
