Occupational Therapy Utilization and Post-Acute Discharge Destination among Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury: The Mediating Effect of Changes in Activity Performance

Community discharge is viewed as a favorable outcome following acute care hospitalization. Occupational therapy (OT) utilization is associated with higher community discharges.
