Five-Year Retrospective Study of Inpatient Occupational Therapy Outcomes for Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Occupational therapy was associated with positive functional outcomes for patients with MS. Future treatment protocols should include cognitive skills training, community reintegration, and self-care, because these treatments were found to be significantly correlated with positive changes in FIM scores.

Validation of the Comprehensive ICF Core Set for Multiple Sclerosis from the perspective of occupational therapists

“…housework and remunerative employment), and leisure. These aspects are consistent with the literature (45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52). For example, the training of basic working skills, workplace accommodations, workload training, and job-coaching are essential in OTs' clinical work to maintain employment of PwMS (53)(54)(55).…”

Occupational Therapy in Neurological Disorders: Looking Ahead to the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Centennial Vision

“…Of the 21 articles, one was a Centennial Vision article (Wolf, 2011), which was not included in this review. The remaining 20 articles (shown in Table 1) included 8 effectiveness studies (40%; Hardy et al, 2010;Hayner, Gibson, & Giles, 2010; Henshaw, Polatajko, McEwen, Ryan, & Baum, 2011; Kim & Colantonio, 2010; Maitra et al, 2010; Nilsen, Gillen, & Gordon, 2010; Page, Murray, & Hermann, 2011; Wu, Radel, & Hanna-Pladdy, 2011), 2 efficacy studies (10%; Beckelhimer, Dalton, Richter, Hermann, & Page, 2011; McCall, McEwen, Colantonio, Streiner, & Dawson, 2011), 4 studies on instrument development and testing (20%; Classen, Witter, et al, 2011; Doig, Fleming, Kuipers, & Cornwell, 2010; Lehman, Sindhu, Johnson, & Velozo, 2011; Lehman, Woodbury, & Velozo, 2011), and 6 basic science studies (30%; Classen, Levy, et al, 2011; Goverover, Chiaravalloti, & DeLuca, 2010; Hwang, Cvitanovich, Doroski, & Vajarakitipongse, 2011; Schmid et al, 2011; Wu, Hermann, Ying, & Page, 2010; Wu, Radel, & Hanna-Pladdy, 2011). …”

“…One study examined the effect of occupational therapy intervention on function in people with multiple sclerosis through a retrospective chart review (Maitra et al, 2010). The study reported improvements in functional ability (seen as improvement in FIM™score).…”
