Article

This article is the second part of a systematic review of studies on occupational
therapy-related intervention for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The objective of this systematic review was to critically appraise and synthesize the
applicable findings to address the following focused question:
What is the
evidence for the effectiveness of interventions within the scope of occupational
therapy practice for people with multiple sclerosis ? Part 1 (Yu & Mathiowetz,
2014) reviewed evidence for the effectiveness of activity- and
participation-based interventions for people with MS. In contrast to the top-down
approach, enabling occupational performance can be achieved through remediating
impaired personal abilities. Therefore, Part 2 focuses on occupational therapy
interventions targeting impairment. Studies included in this review focused on
improving client factors and performance skills in people with MS, including
cognition, emotional regulation, and motor and praxis skills.
