Skill-Based Projects
 KinesiotapingBuilt into our orthopedic curriculum, we had a specialist come in and teach us how to be proficient in reducing inflammation and improve circulation. This particular method of Kinesiotaping is used to help patients after carpal tunnel release surgery. |  CarFit TechnicianI'm a trained CarFit technician. Driving is VERY important for people to be independent. A few simple modifications can go a long way to improve the safety of others. |  Occupation-Based KitI developed a kit for a former pipe fitter to practice a meaningful occupation while increasing strength, fine/gross motor coordination and executive functioning. |
|---|---|---|
 Occupation-Based Kit (Car-Washing)I put together a car washing kit for one of my clients, a stroke survivor, so he could wash his Corvette at home. Regaining motor skills takes on new meaning when applied to a cherished occupation. |  Assistive Technology - Key ForkI created the "Key Fork" in order to help a client turn the key to get in his garage after suffering from fatigued flexor muscles of the forearm. |  Sit 'n' Get FitMy classmates and I volunteered our time and skills to promote activity at a local multi-cultural commission on aging. |
 Loon 'LympicsVolunteering at Dow Diamond was a blast! I hosted the home-run derby for the children at Loon 'Lympics. Promoting healthy exercise is important in ensuring the future health of the community. |  WoodworkingI love woodworking! I helped make an impromptu card holder for a colleague during a fieldwork oppurtunity. |  Wound DressingAfter learning several wound care techniques, my first client became my dog, Baylee. I'm not sure she adhered to the wrap-wearing schedule, though. |
