Physiotherapy in Mental Health

[neving]

Hi there,
I work at a mental hospital in Canada, (mind you it is not an acute hospital), and we see a very broad range of problems. Some are ordinary ortho problems, sore backs, hips, knees, etc., but what can make these a challange is the inability of the patients to give a clear history, if any at all. We also have a lot of neuro problems, head injuries, effects of longstanding substance abuse, dementias, Parkinson's, Huntington's, brain disorders due to infections,etc. A large part are also problems relating to medications, gait and balance problems, movement disorders etc. It can be very challenging, and certainly is never dull
have fun.

Hello everybody,

I am a final year physio student. I would like to know what a physio can help patients with psychiatric symptoms in terms of the participation level of the ICF model. What sequelae of mental health dysfunctions are addressed by physiotherapy services?

Looking forward to your sharings!
