Occupational therapists use structured interviews to assess upper extremity pain, guiding effective rehabilitation and return-to-work strategies for patients experiencing pain and functional limitations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Upper extremity trauma and diseases often lead to pain, limiting movement, strength, and overall function.
  • Persistent or severe pain can hinder physical function and vocational rehabilitation, impacting an individual's ability to return to their occupational roles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a structured interview process for occupational therapists to comprehensively assess upper extremity pain.
  • To emphasize the importance of pain assessment in developing effective rehabilitation interventions and recommendations.

Main Methods:

  • A structured interview format is proposed for systematic pain evaluation.
  • This method integrates subjective patient reports with objective findings from physical assessments and task observations.
