Abstract:
Patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)often experience reduced social participation because of their need for constant medical and physical care. In the community, care teams that consist of home care workers, nurses, and other professionals provide support for these patients. However, these care teams may not have sufficient knowledge of ALS. Therefore, these are requests to us from some of these teams when they want to get specific advice on support for patients with ALS. In this study, we report our experience of home visit rehabilitation for an adult with ALS who aimed to continue their Social participation. We carried out comprehensive assessment and provided expert advice on seating systems, communication and transportation aids, and building a relationship with the care team.
