This resource focuses on the application of occupational therapy theoretical models and frameworks in acute care settings. It covers key models such as the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) and Model of Human Occupation (MOHO), emphasizing their relevance in guiding clinical reasoning and intervention planning. The content explores how the interaction between a patient's physical, cognitive, and emotional status, along with the environment and occupation, informs therapy practices aimed at enhancing discharge outcomes. Specific frames of reference—such as Rehabilitation, Biomechanical, Cognitive Rehab, and Motor Learning—are outlined with supportive examples and interventions. Students are encouraged to apply critical thinking to various patient scenarios, analyze case studies, and reflect on their theoretical approach to optimize care for patients with complex needs in challenging acute care environments.
