Abstract
The purpose of this MUSC Occupational Therapy (OT) Doctoral Capstone project was to determine if stroke survivors demonstrate participation gains resulting from Rasch-derived, patient-spectice practice, i.e., “keyform mapping,” program by evaluation participation at 3 levels. Approximately 50% of stroke survivors have participation restrictions that may impact their engagement with fulfilling, meaningful activities. This is a secondary analysis of data collected from a stroke rehabilitation RCT parent study which tested the effect of a tailored. task-practice program using Rasch-derived keyform map of the individual’s FMA-UE item responses. Participation levels were evaluate by the Activity Card Sort Low-Demand Leisure and Social Acitivites subsections and the Stroke Impact Scale Percent Recovery subsection. The means and standard deviations for change in retained activity and change in percent recovery were calculated. Our results show a statisitcally significant increase low-demand leisure and self-reported recovery. Participation-oriented focus of therapy may enhance independence, support social integration, promote confidence, and improve quality of life.
