Benefits of Management Tool for Daily Life Performance (MTDLP) in the convalescence rehabilitation ward and role of occupational therapists:

A case of a post craniopharyngioma patient with mild memory impairment that resulted in reinstatement

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the dual benefits of Management Tool for Daily Life Performance (MTDLP) and the role of OT for a case where MTDLP was used for craniopharyngioma after reinstatement. Through the use of MTDLP, an appropriate OT program was established, the roles of various occupations were specified, and choosing the meaningful occupation enabled the patient to joint active training. As a result, the quality of life improved, and the patient successfully returned to work after daily life rehabilitation. We think that it is important to carefully observe the functions that change daily, establish appropriate goals through consensus, and conduct OT intervention. In addition, even if the OT cannot fully intervene during the recovery period of the client, the OT still has an important role to play through daily rehabilitation and leading the client to the final goal.
