The following occupations work with the client with neurologic deficits and improve his functioning: The occupational therapist improves fine motor movement and assists with instructing on assistive devices. A speech therapist assists with language skills and the ability to swallow. The neurologist prescribes medical care and coordinates the treatment team. The physical therapist assists with ambulation and range of motion strengthening muscles. Both an electrocardiography (ECG) technician and an electroencephalogram (EMG) technician provide diagnostic testing, which provides data to plan care. Both do not improve functioning.
