Stroke Focused Questions

To date, the AOTA Evidence Brief Series has reported on literature reviews of occupational therapy interventions related to specific health conditions and areas of practice (e.g., brain injury, school system). Evidence-based literature reviews can also focus on answering targeted questions relevant to the practice of occupational therapy.

In a focused-question evidence-based literature review, an expert panel first identifies topic areas that merit attention from an evidence-based perspective and then poses specific questions to focus the literature review.

Two topic areas were identified to guide the updated Stroke Evidence-Based Review: (1) the neurophysiological basis of post-stroke brain reorganization; and (2) interventions for post-stroke recovery in impairments, activities, and participation.

The focused questions listed below were then formulated to address the topic areas. Results of the review are presented as answers to the focused questions.
