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.

My own experience example after knee replacement: The OT taught me how to move safely while I had limited mobility and strength. How to stand from a seated position, which leg to lead with while walking up or down stairs on crutches, etc. The PT focused on stretches and exercises to rebuild my mobility and strength for a faster and more complete recovery. OT helps to accommodate a limitation/impairment, PT helps to recover or overcome the limitation/impairment.
