A meeting of the New York State Association of Occupational Therapists and an elaborate exhibit of the handicraft of patients suffering from chronic diseases featured “occupational therapy day” yesterday at Montefiore Hospital as a part of its fiftieth anniversary celebration. The visiting occupational therapists attended a conference presided over by leading orthopedic authorities, who presented latest developments in the treatment of joint diseases.
