Occupational therapy interventions for multiple sclerosis: A scoping review.

CONCLUSION: The quality of evidence that exists for occupational therapy with people with multiple sclerosis is mixed but there are studies that show that occupational therapy can improve occupational and other outcomes in this population. It is essential to build on the evidence that exists in the area. Implications for rehabilitation Occupational therapists are well-placed to intervene with multiple sclerosis symptoms. Evidence for the effectiveness of occupational therapy for people with multiple sclerosis is yet to be established. Fatigue management programmes delivered by occupational therapists are effective in reducing symptoms. Additional training in client-centred practice is no more effective than usual occupational therapy. PMID: 32643486 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
