Managing Therapy?

Is wearing prescribed wrist/hand splints considered therapy?
I wear splints on both hands/wrists prescribed by a consultant and fitted by a physio in conjunction with an OT. I am instructed to wear them at all times bar bathing.
They are very difficult to put on correctly and get them at the correct tension. I can't do this myself, so not sure if this comes under 'Managing Therapy' or is considered as "Dressing and Undressing', if you see what I mean, or should I add this in to both sections keeping my options open?

I think it would come under Managing Therapy.
