Self-Perceived ADL/IADL Function is Influenced by Residual Neurological Impairment, Aphasia, and Anxiety
We examined the extent to which aphasia status, neurological impairment and poststroke depression, and anxiety contribute to self-perceived ADL/IADL function.METHOD.: Seventy-six community-dwelling individuals at least 6 months poststroke, 44 with and 32 without aphasia, participated in the cross-sectional study. The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) ADL/IADL domain was the primary outcome measure with aphasia status, residual neurological impairment, depressive symptoms, and anxiety as predictor variables.FINDINGS: Aphasia status, residual neurological impairment, and anxiety were independent predictors of self-perceived ADL/IADL...

Efficacy of a Forearm Rotation Orthosis for People With a Hemiparetic Arm
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: The OTTO intervention provides clinically important benefits in self-perceived functional performance to people poststroke. What This Article Adds: The OTTO approach is an occupation-focused intervention that aims at functional performance and emphasizes clients' active engagement throughout the process. The findings suggest that the protocol of the OTTO intervention and its efficacy are appropriate for clinical practice.PMID:34792542 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2021.043455

Sensory Modulation and Participation in Daily Occupations in Stroke Survivors : Modulation sensorielle et participation aux occupations quotidiennes chez les survivants d'un AVC
Can J Occup Ther. 2021 Oct 9:84174211047372. doi: 10.1177/00084174211047372. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBackground. Stroke may alter sensory modulation and restrict participation in daily occupations. Although studies highlight the relationship between altered sensory modulation and reduced participation, this relationship in stroke survivors has not been studied enough. Purpose. To examine the prevalence of altered sensory modulation among stroke survivors; to compare sensory modulation and participation between stroke survivors and healthy controls; to estimate the relationship between sensory modulation and participa...

Front Desk Duty Multitasking Test after Mild Stroke: Preliminary Reliability and Validity.
Abstract BACKGROUND.: Performance-based multitasking assessments may be more sensitive than cognitive screens to detect executive dysfunction after a mild stroke. PURPOSE.: This cross-sectional study examined inter-rater reliability and preliminary convergent and discriminant validity of the Front Desk Duty Test (FDDT). METHOD.: Adults with mild stroke (n = 35) and community controls (n = 33) were administered the FDDT and other measures of executive functions. FINDINGS.: Inter-rater reliability of the FDDT subscores were high (ICC 0.971-0.999). There were weak but statistically significant correlat...
