👉 A treating weapon, also known as a therapeutic weapon or healing tool, is an object or device used in occupational therapy to help patients improve their physical and mental health through active engagement. These tools are designed to encourage movement, enhance motor skills, and promote independence in daily activities. Examples include adaptive sports equipment like modified basketballs or swimming aids, as well as specialized instruments for exercises targeting specific muscle groups. The goal is to make therapy more enjoyable and accessible, fostering a positive therapeutic experience that can lead to better outcomes and increased patient motivation.
