Occupational therapists help individuals to improve functioning in their daily lives, and their services may be helpful in facilitating a return to work. Services may include evaluation and recommendation of exercises or adaptive devices to overcome disabilities caused by pain or disease. Functional or physical capacity evaluations may be ordered to determine the individual's capabilities or need for job restrictions. Work-site evaluations may be ordered to coordinate the occupational rehabilitation or to assess the need for modifications at the workplace to help the employee continue working.
