Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Neuroscience
  • Occupational Therapy

Background:

  • Upper limb dysfunction is a common challenge in rehabilitation.
  • Intensive, technology-assisted interventions may enhance recovery.
  • Enriched environments can promote patient engagement and functional gains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of an intensive, technology-assisted inpatient enriched environmental program.
  • To assess the feasibility of implementing such a program for upper limb function.
  • To determine if the program improves patient activity levels during subacute care.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 92 patients.
  • Participants were allocated to either an enriched environmental program or usual care.
  • Assessments of upper limb function (using the Action Research Arm Test) and activity levels were performed at baseline, discharge, and 3 months post-discharge.

Main Results:

  • The enriched environmental group showed significant improvements in upper limb function at discharge compared to the control group (p=0.002).
  • A higher percentage of participants in the enriched group achieved clinically significant improvements (83% vs 44%, p<0.001).
  • Participants in the enriched group were more engaged in activities, and the majority maintained functional gains at 3 months (91% vs 61%, p=0.001).

Conclusions:

  • An intensive, technology-assisted inpatient enriched environmental program is feasible and effective.
  • The program significantly improves upper limb function in patients during subacute care.
  • The intervention leads to increased patient activity and sustained functional recovery.
