01Assessment, measurement and functional goals
Rehabilitation assessment starts with the person’s priorities, relevant health history and the activities that are difficult or unsafe. Describe the performance problem before selecting a familiar instrument. Someone who can generate force during an isolated test may still have difficulty cooking because of attention, fatigue, environmental obstacles or lack of support. Conversely, a person may complete an activity successfully through adaptation despite persistent impairment.

Occupational therapy examines how a person performs activities that matter in their actual environment. Self-care, domestic work, employment, education, rest, play and social participation can all be relevant. A change in grip strength is useful information, but it does not alone explain whether the person can prepare a meal or return to work. Begin with priorities, then analyze the interaction between personal abilities, task demands and environmental supports.
370 words, about 2 min03Professional reasoning, evidence and continuity
Professional rehabilitation practice combines relevant evidence, skilled judgment and the person’s informed priorities. A research hierarchy can help organize a search, but a systematic review is only as useful as its question, methods and included studies. Applicability, outcome relevance and uncertainty matter. A workshop claim or an impressive case report is not proof that a new method should replace effective care for every patient.

Hong Kong occupational therapy registration is a statutory professional process, distinct from membership in a voluntary association or an overseas certification examination. The current Occupational Therapists Board and Allied Health Professions Council provide the relevant registration guidance under the Allied Health Professions Ordinance. Applicants should use current forms and instructions, because historical documents may retain the earlier Supplementary Medical Professions terminology. The Board publishes specific criteria for qualifications considered under section 12(1)(b).
