“Today we’re talking about ECGs — the electrocardiogram. It’s one of the most common tests in healthcare, capturing the heart’s electrical rhythm in just a few seconds. For occupational therapists, understanding ECGs isn’t about becoming a cardiologist — it’s about safety and context. An ECG can explain why a patient feels dizzy during a transfer, why activity needs pacing, or why therapy should pause until medical review. It reminds us that occupation happens within the realities of the body. By knowing the basics of ECG, we strengthen our role in rehabilitation, collaborate better with the wider team, and keep our patients safe while helping them rebuild their daily lives.”
