Prior to 1918, aids were subdivided into two classes. Which description correctly matches Class 1 and Class 2?

• A. Class 2- OT
• B. Class 3- Physio
• C. Class 1- Physiotherapy; Class 2- OT
• D. Class 1- Nursing; Class 2- OT

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is how rehabilitation aids were organized by the type of therapy they supported. Before 1918, there were two main streams: one focused on restoring physical function through physical methods (physiotherapy), and the other focused on enabling people to perform daily activities through meaningful tasks (occupational therapy). So the first class corresponds to Physiotherapy and the second to Occupational Therapy. This matches the historical division where physical restoration and daily living/work activities were treated as distinct therapeutic approaches. Other pairings would place nursing or swap the two therapies, which doesn’t reflect how the classes were defined at that time.
