I’ve asked multiple people and have never gotten a clear answer. They’re always consulted together in the hospital, but I’m sure they have different responsibilities.

How my OT explained it: PT is everything else but the hands, and OT is hands only. That top response really says the specifics but that’s how I remembered. Since many people use their hands to do and complete tasks, it makes sense for that to be a completely type of therapy and they offer guidance on how to work smarter, and not harder. (And know many devices and utensils that will help with that, like adaptive equipment making it easier to grasp items that uses less muscle strength) Though I wonder if those who have no arms and do tasks with their legs what kinda therapy that would fall under?
