Audrey's Case Study: MD

Audrey took her case study topic and put a different prospective on it. Instead of having muscular dystrophy, Brandon Walker has congenital myopathy. Congenital myopathy has similar symptoms as muscular dystrophy (such as weakness in hands and feet and fatigue) except that in Brandon's case it is not progressive or leads to death. He was born with it and has lived with it his whole life. He is currently 39 years old but Audrey did her interventions as if he is 20 years old for OT purposes. His goals are to live by himself and learn how to drive. He wants to be fully independent by living by himself and since he is a country artist and performs different places all the time he wants to be able to drive himself around. Because he has been in a wheelchair his entire life as well, walking is something he doesn't know and does not want improved. He saw an OT when he was way younger but no further information was accessible about any other therapy. On that note, I think Audrey did an excellent job creating a fictional intervention out of a real life situation.
