Effectiveness of occupation-based interventions on performance’s quality for hemiparetic stroke in community-dwelling: A randomized clinical trial study
Occupations define activities that people perform to occupy themselves and that people have meaning and value to them. The use of occupation-based intervention addresses activity daily of living performance.
OBJECTIVES:
This study was to investigate the effects of occupation-based interventions on performance’s quality for hemiparetic stroke in community-dwelling.
METHODS:
Forty-three participants were enrolled in this study with a full understanding of the purpose and method of the research and had a diagnosis with hemiparetic stroke. Participants were randomized to one of two treatment groups: Experimental group (n = 23) or control groups (n = 20). The experimental group applied occupation-based intervention and control group applied action focusing intervention. All participants underwent ten treatment sessions during the study period and conducted pre- and post-assessment. Several instruments were used to measure quality of performance.
RESULTS:
After the intervention training, the qualities of occupational performance were significantly higher in the experimental group applied occupation-based intervention than the control group applied action focusing intervention (p < 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS:
Based on the results of this study, occupation-based intervention has positive effects on quality of performing daily activities and occupational activities independently in persons with hemiparetic stroke.
