• influenced by control parameters

• dysfunction = multiple factors

• interventions are client focused, embedded in occupation, use environment, and structures services to meet client goals

What is the purpose of the biomechanical model

emphasizes assessment and intervention of:

• ROM

• Muscle mass/strength/endurance

• presence of edema

and how they effect occupational performance

What is the purpose of the medical model

health = the absence of disease, presence of homeostasis, and normative states

• disease = failure in one of these categories

• treatment is either addressing root cause or relieving symptoms

• ecological models (PEOPE, PEO, EHP)

• occupational adaptation

• CMOP-E

• Kawa

Main points of MOHO

addresses volition, habituation, performance capacity, and environment in the context humans.

• considers occupational engagement vs occupational participation, performance, and skills

Main points of Ecological models (PEOP, PEO, EHP)

• occupational performance is based on goodness of fit

• environment + performance skills = (meets) demands of task

Main points of Occupational Adaption (OA)

• normal human process and can be an intervention process to guide critical thinking
