BACKGROUND: Low vision rehabilitation services should be multidisciplinary and should provide patients with as many options as are necessary to help partially sighted individuals maintain independence and quality of life.
METHODS: A case report is presented of a 30-year-old insulin-dependent diabetic patient with carpal tunnel syndrome. Team management resulted in referral for occupational therapy evaluation and resulted in long cane modification.
RESULTS: Modification of a long cane was accomplished using a piece of PVC plastic glued at a right angle to the long cane, thus acting as a handle. Fabric straps with Velcro fasteners made the cane movable with forearm rather than wrist motion and allowed the patient to maintain independent travel.
CONCLUSIONS: This case presents an example of appropriate referral for an occupational therapy evaluation. Low vision rehabilitation demands an interdisciplinary approach.
