About this Unit
The ability to analyse human occupation (or tasks and activities) is crucial to occupational therapy practice. This unit provides the students with an understanding of the role of activities in a person's life. Students will develop skills in task and activity analysis and an understanding of assessment related to specific performance components of activity. The students will be introduced to principles of biomechanics and kinesiology necessary for the understanding and analysis of functional activities and movement. Students will gain an understanding of how the modification of activities can enable individuals with impairments to overcome activity limitations or restrictions in participation.
