Product Information

Children over the age of 5 should ideally get at least 60 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise a day, such as running or playing football or netball. Sedentary activities, such as watching television and playing computer games, should be restricted. More research is needed to prove abdominal binders definitively help prevent fluid build-up ( seroma) after abdominal surgery or improve overall physical function. These diets can lead to rapid weight loss, but they are not a suitable or safe method for everyone, and they are not routinely recommended for managing obesity. By using different techniques, changing your environment and using new equipment, an Occupational Therapist can help you regain or improve your independence.

There’s some debate about whether or not abdominal binders increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). DVT occurs when a blood clot develops in at least one of the deep veins in your body.

Patients are seen within the vascular unit and again assessed and prepared for return home to continue their recovery, or onto rehabilitation. Our work here may involve minor adaptations to the patient’s home to enable discharge following surgery such as limb amputation. Frailty You can only take liraglutide or semaglutide if they're prescribed for you by a specialist weight management service. A doctor might recommend that you take one of these medicines if diet and exercise changes have not worked on their own. Pre-operative elective orthopaedicsWe run pre-operative patient clinics where patients awaiting surgery are seen and assessed when they visit the pre-operative nurses. We provide practical assessment and advice and reinforce any post-operative precautions. The patients are then provided with any equipment they will require at home to enhance recovery upon discharge. This is all completed before they are admitted. Referral to a specialist in treating childhood obesity may be recommended if your child develops an obesity-related complication, or there's thought to be an underlying medical condition causing obesity.Our Occupational Therapy service works with the following departments in our hospitals to ensure patients receive the best possible treatment. Children's services There are a number of Occupational Therapy departments within the Alexandra, Kidderminster and Worcestershire Royal Hospitals. When necessary, we do visits to patients' homes to facilitate discharge from hospital. However, we are not community based and therefore do not get involved in major adaptations to home environments but can sign post or refer on to community services when necessary. Children are seen within the speciality of the referrer.Most referrals come via the trauma team or neurology. Intensive Care Patients are seen as part of the rehabilitation pathway. This involves a comprehensive assessment and intervention is provided to meet a patient’s physical, cognitive and psychological difficulties as a result of a complex illness and critical care admission. We work closely with the Multi-disciplinary team and continue to treat patients when they are stepped down onto other wards to continue with their rehabilitation and discharge planning.
