Effects of the CO-OP Approach in Addressing the Occupational Performance of Adults With Stroke: A Systematic Review

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The CO-OP is a promising client-centered, occupation-based approach, but future adequately powered studies addressing the potential for generalization are needed. Plain-Language Summary: The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance is a relatively new treatment method that uses cognitive techniques to guide patients into discovering ways to perform activities of daily living independently. This systematic review presents the available evidence regarding CO-OP's effectiveness when used with adults after stroke. The findings showed that CO-OP has a positive impact in this population, but further research is needed to reach more concrete conclusions. Stroke patients may benefit from CO-OP because it can be a cost-effective, short-duration, task-oriented treatment.PMID:38416734 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2024.050131
