Occupational Therapy and Stroke Rehab

If you are considering occupational therapy as a treatment for stroke rehabilitation recovery, we want you to be as informed as possible—so we, as OTs, can truly partner to create the best course of treatment for YOU.

 In occupational therapy, we tend to work from “menus” of evidence-based assessments and treatments. This gives us the flexibility to meet the specific needs of each patient. Below, you’ll find the assessment and treatment options your therapist may use, along with the evidence supporting them.

You will also find stroke rehab therapists near you.

Please note that this page is for educational purposes and does not substitute advice from your medical provider. At the bottom of this page, you’ll find occupational therapy professionals near you who can support you in your stroke rehabilitation recovery. 

Why pursue occupational therapy after a stroke?

This article focuses on therapy treatment for stroke rehabilitation. 

When providing stroke rehabilitation treatment, your occupational therapist will help you modify or adapt your activities of daily living—such as your sleep routine, meal preparation, social participation, bathing, dressing, and home management—in addition to helping you return to the activities that are meaningful to you. These interventions are tailored to you as an individual, with consideration of your specific interests, wants, and needs. Through therapy, lifestyle adjustments, and healthy habits, you may reduce your risk of having a second stroke. 

Investing in therapy early is important, because occupational therapy can help decrease the overall cost of stroke treatment by improving patient independence, reducing hospital readmissions, and potentially decreasing the need for long-term care.¹ 

The average lifetime cost of stroke per person ranges from $90,981–$228,030 depending on the type of stroke.² Averaged across all individuals and types of stroke, the lifetime cost per person is about $103,576. Research indicates that approximately 11% of individuals will experience an additional stroke within a year of their first, and this number rises to 26% within 5 years.³

By contrast, based on this study out of Europe, early occupational therapy costs around $5,813 per person for inpatient stroke rehab and $2,061 for outpatient stroke rehab. In addition to potentially reducing your risk of having a second stroke in the future, this treatment route also focuses on helping you return to the activities that are meaningful to you—making it an important option for many people.

Therapist-recommended assessments for stroke rehab

As you can see below, evaluating symptoms of a stroke involves many different components. That’s partly because several areas of overall body function can be affected—especially within the context of your everyday life. A thorough examination will help identify the major “focus areas” for therapy that are currently contributing to your deficits. Assessments also serve as a point of comparison for tracking your progress and response to treatment over time.

An accurate and thorough baseline allows your therapist (and you!) to discern how much the interventions are helping. Your therapist may perform certain assessments at various intervals over the course of therapy. Members of the OT Potential Club can log in to see these assessments broken down by acute, subacute, and chronic. They’ll also find additional information about each assessment.

Core Occupational Therapy Outcome Measures

In occupational therapy, one of our core outcome measures is your self-report on your quality of life. At the end of the day, this is the most important outcome for us. We want our treatments to have a significant impact on your day-to-day life.

Setting occupational therapy goals for stroke rehab

Therapy works best when there is buy-in from the patient. It is important that you work with your therapist to set treatment goals that truly reflect what’s important to you. Goals in stroke rehabilitation often fall under these categories: Functional Capacity and ADLs/iADLs; Motor Function; Mobility; Upper Extremity; Mood & Cognition; Visual Perception & Neglect; and Spasticity.

After a thorough evaluation and goal-setting process, it is time to start making progress. Below are treatment interventions that can be implemented as part of a holistic therapy program.

Discharge suggestions

Every person is unique, so your individual response to therapy will also be unique. We recommend that you: 

• Follow your therapist’s discharge recommendations to maintain progress made in therapy. 
• Continue to use self-management and empowerment strategies to control any remaining symptoms.
• Follow a home exercise program to help establish good habits for body mechanics, even if you feel like you’re back to 100% function.
• Consult your therapist immediately if your condition worsens, or if you continue to have difficulty with your daily activities after 3 months.
• Follow the Stroke Discharge Checklist (stroke.org).
• Make an emergency action plan.
• Adhere to self-management strategies.
  • Includes physical activity, healthy diet, sleep hygiene, well-being, and leisure
• Know how to recognize a second stroke (think FAST):
  • F: face drooping
  • A: arm weakness
  • S: speech difficulties
  • T: time to call 911

Choosing a therapist near you for stroke rehab

Occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech language pathologists are critical care providers in the realm of stroke rehabilitation. The initial phases of stroke rehabilitation are typically delivered in an acute care setting, so you will be working with the rehab team in your hospital. 

As you transition into rehab in the outpatient setting, you will likely have a wider variety of choices for therapists to work with. 

Below, you can find occupational therapy professionals who have tagged “stroke” as a focus area. 

Conclusion

Hopefully this article helped you understand what therapy for stroke rehabilitation entails.
