Using the PEOP Model to Understand Barriers to Functioning in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
1Children Matter LLC, Broomfield, CO, USA.
Abstract:
Individuals with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) experience many barriers that lead to decreased functioning and quality of life. At this time, there are limited resources regarding the functional impact of POTS on occupational performance. Therefore, this narrative review demonstrates how occupational therapy practitioners can conceptualize, categorize, and systematically organize their thinking around barriers individuals with POTS experience using the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) model of practice.
