Abstract: Article describes the four
questions that served as the focus for the evidence-based reviews of the
effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions for adults with stroke. The
questions include occupation- and activity-based interventions to improve
occupational performance and social participation after stroke, as well as
interventions for motor, cognitive, and psychological and emotional impairments
after stroke. Discussion includes the background for the reviews; the process
followed for addressing each question, including search terms and search
strategy; the databases searched; and the methods used to summarize and
critically appraise the literature. The final number of articles included in
each evidence-based review; a summary of the themes of the results; the
strengths and limitations of the findings; and implications for practice,
education, and research are presented.

Unfortunately, this article only names the categories of OT practice that have been studied using stroke survivors. The authors tell the reader to "refer to the individual evidence-based reviews for more complete information on results."
