Summary
This study evaluates task-oriented training (TOT) for multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Results will demonstrate TOT
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Rehabilitation Science
- Occupational Therapy
Background:
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) significantly impacts functional performance and health outcomes.
- Current interventions may not fully address the specific occupational needs of MS patients.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a task-oriented training (TOT) program for improving functional performance in MS patients.
- To assess the impact of TOT on health outcomes, including fatigue, strength, and dexterity.
Main Methods:
- Pilot randomized clinical trial adhering to SPIRIT guidelines.
- Participants randomly assigned to an 8-week TOT intervention or usual care.
- Comprehensive assessments including the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and fatigue scales.
Main Results:
- Data collection and analysis are ongoing.
- Results will be published in a peer-reviewed article.
Conclusions:
- The study protocol is designed to address a gap in the literature regarding structured interventions for MS.
- Task-oriented training principles are tailored to the functional and occupational needs of individuals with MS.
