A systematic review of the literature related to effective occupational therapy
interventions in rehabilitation of individuals with work-related forearm, wrist,
and hand injuries and illnesses was conducted as part of the Evidence-Based
Literature Review Project of the American Occupational Therapy Association. This
review provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of 36 studies that
addressed many of the interventions commonly used in hand rehabilitation.
Findings reveal that the use of occupation-based activities has reasonable yet
limited evidence to support its effectiveness. This review supports the premise
that many client factors can be positively affected through the use of several
commonly used occupational therapy-related modalities and methods. The
implications for occupational therapy practice, research, and education and
limitations of reviewed studies are also discussed.
