Does occupational therapy improve activities of daily living and/or cognitive abilities in stroke patients with cognitive impairment? A Cochrane Review summary with commentary
CONCLUSION:The authors concluded that the body of evidence for the effectiveness of OT interventions has improved since their first review. However, although their findings provide some support for the potential benefits of OT (mostly based on low certainty evidence), OT effectiveness for stroke patients remains unclear.PMID:37424486 | DOI:10.3233/NRE-236002

Electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback training in persons with stroke: A scoping review in occupational therapy.
CONCLUSION: This review demonstrated the effectiveness of the combination of occupational therapy and EEG-based neurofeedback training. Most of these treatments are intended for inpatients, but they may be more effective for outpatients, especially if customized to their requirements. Also, such explorations to assess the suitability of the treatment for patient rehabilitation will help reduce barriers to effective interventions. An analysis of the opinions of participants and experts through satisfaction surveys will be helpful. PMID: 33386824 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Impact of smart force feedback rehabilitation robot training on upper limb motor function in subacute stage of stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Both RRT and traditional occupational therapy training are useful for the recovery of upper limb motor function and daily life ability in the sub-acute stage of stroke. PMID: 32741790 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effect of a dual-task program with different cognitive tasks applied to stroke patients: A pilot randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Dual-task training using various cognitive tasks had a greater positive effect than conventional occupational therapy on auditory attention, memory span, executive function, and balance. PMID: 31006694 [PubMed - in process]

Effects of interactive metronome training on upper extremity function, ADL and QOL in stroke patients.
CONCLUSION: The study proposes that IM training can be applied as an occupational therapy program in patients with various diseases who need to adjust the time for performing movements as well as stroke patients. PMID: 28527229 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Comparison of cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance and conventional occupational therapy on occupational performance in individuals with stroke: A randomized controlled trial.
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the CO-OP approach is beneficial effects on the occupational performance to improvement in individuals with hemiparetic stroke, and have positive effects on generalization and transfer of acquired skills. PMID: 28222552 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What is current practice for upper limb rehabilitation in the acute hospital setting following stroke? A systematic review.
CONCLUSIONS: A small proportion of total PT and OT time is directed to the involved UL during acute rehabilitation. Given the evidence for early and intense rehabilitation, there is a need to explore the reasons for this low intensity of UL therapy in the acute stage post-stroke.

Engaging with clinicians to implement and evaluate the ICF in neurorehabilitation practice
CONCLUSION: The outcome of the first project highlights that using the ICF enhances communication within and beyond the acute stroke service, fosters holistic thinking and clarifies team roles. To adopt it into clinical practice, the ICF must be adapted to meet local service needs. The use of action research has facilitated the knowledge translation process which has enabled the ICF to become a clinical reality in neurorehabilitation.
