Evidence-based reviews of the literature relevant to adults with stroke are
important to the practice of occupational therapy. We describe the four questions
that served as the focus for the evidence-based reviews of the effectiveness of
occupational therapy interventions for adults with stroke.
The questions include
occupation- and activity-based interventions to improve occupational performance
and social participation after stroke, as well as interventions for motor,
cognitive, and psychological and emotional impairments after stroke. We include
the background for the reviews; the process followed for addressing each
question, including search terms and search strategy; the databases searched; and
the methods used to summarize and critically appraise the literature. The final
number of articles included in each evidence-based review; a summary of the
themes of the results; the strengths and limitations of the findings; and
implications for practice, education, and research are presented.
