Energy Conservation/Work Simplification 

When a patient has a debilitating disease or injury such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, or emphysema, which specifically affects his or her endurance or tolerance of activity, the patient can learn how to conserve his/her energy to sustain comfort. An occupational therapist can provide specific techniques that the patient can apply while completing their normal daily activities.
