Task-oriented training interventions effectively improve activities of daily living (ADL) and functional mobility in stroke survivors. This systematic review brief summarizes the evidence for these beneficial occupational therapy interventions.
Area of Science:
- Occupational therapy
- Rehabilitation medicine
- Neuroscience
Background:
- Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability.
- Impaired activities of daily living (ADL) and functional mobility are common post-stroke.
- Task-oriented training is a key intervention strategy in stroke rehabilitation.
Conclusions:
- Task-oriented training is an evidence-based approach for stroke rehabilitation.
- Interventions should focus on functional tasks to improve patient outcomes.
- Further research can refine task-oriented training protocols for optimal results.
