title: Home-based occupational therapy: then and now.
abstract: Although there are differences in the scope and practice of occupational therapists working with homebound clients in 1925 and 1991, the underlying philosophy remains the same (i.e., the treatment or intervention involves not only the patient, but also his or her environment). Occupational therapists working in an outpatient clinic or home setting should perceive their treatment as curative measures through the use of occupation. Such treatment exercises muscles as well as the mind.
