1  Effective Interventions to Promote Participation and Functional Use of the Affected Upper Extremity for Clients Post-Stroke Spalding University Jodi Combs, OTS jcombs01@spalding.edu

2 Why Clients Post-Stroke? It is estimated there are approximately three million stroke survivors in this country, 70 percent of whom experience “significant functional disability” ( Hayner, Gibson, & Giles, 2010)

3 Occupational Therapy and Stroke  Occupational therapy practitioners address the physical, cognitive, and mental challenges brought on by a stroke  The effects of stroke can be devastating but most can be improved with rehabilitation.  Some of these effects include: loss of balance, paralysis, vision problems, loss of coordination, and also decreased sensation

4 Level II FW Experience

5 Focused Question What is the evidence for effective occupational therapy interventions to promote participation and functional use of the affected upper extremity for clients post-stroke?

6 Effective Treatments  Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy  Meaningful Task-Specific Training  Mirror Box Therapy  Gaming Systems  Mental Practice  Bilateral Treatment

7 Constraint- Induced Movement Therapy Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) consist of the sound arm being restrained, typically in a sling, mitt, or both, for an established percentage of the day. During restraint, the patient performs selected activities using the affected upper extremity.

8 Meaningful Task-Specific Training Task-specific training provides goal-directed repetitive practice of motor tasks to improve functional abilities.

9 Mirror Box Therapy Patients who engage in mirror therapy realize greater recovery of function in their upper extremities than those who receive conventional therapy alone.

10 Other Effective Treatments  Gaming Systems  Mental Practice  Bilateral Treatment

11 Questions? Thank You!!!
