1 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY 2012 To study the effectiveness of repetitive task oriented training as Occupational Therapy intervention in upper limb weakness in adult stroke: Systematic Review. Hamad Medical Corporation, Occupational Therapy Department, Doha Qatar. Priya Vitthal Gawhale Repetitive Task Training is a treatment in which client repeat a series of specific movements over and over again. A stroke often leaves a person with problems using their arms and legs. The goal is to improve functional use of your arms and legs. 1

3 2012/4/2 stroke leads to interference in Performance areas such as ADL, Work and in context including all physical, social, psychological areas. 3

4 Primary specific objectives: To determine the effectiveness of repetitive task oriented training in upper limb weakness in stroke. Secondary Objective: To study the effect of repetitive task oriented training as occupational Therapy intervention in stroke in upper limb function and activities of daily living. Search strategy: Search strategy used for database MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane controlled trials searched for articles in repetitive task oriented Training in stroke. 4

5 1. computer aided search in bibliographic databases was done of follows 2. longitudinal cohort studies, 3 original prognostic studies, and 4. randomized controlled trials, 5. papers addressing task oriented training in stroke published in the period from 1996 to October 2011, were included. DESIGN: Systematic Literature Review 5

6 Inclusion criteria 1) Studies randomized controlled clinical trials, cohort studies, case studies, overviewed. 2) Participants Adults with age group of diagnosis of stroke Ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. 3) Articles studies with Interventions as repetitive, task and function based upper limb strengthening activities used to improve upper limb function 4) Types of outcome measures Interventions focused On functional performance using repetitive training in arm. 6

7 Client with perceptual deficits & severe cognitive impairment excluded. Motor recovery stage 1 to 3 were excluded. Level1 A Systematic review of RCT Level 1B = RCT with narrow Confidence interval Level 1c= All or None case Series Level 2A = Systematic review cohort studies Level 2B= cohort study/ low quality RCT Level2c=Outcomes research Level 3A=Systematic review of case controlled Level 3B=Case controlled study Level 4=Case series. LEVEL 5 Experts opinion 7

8 1) We found total 30 RCT on repetitive task training in stroke in upper limb. Study selected the comparison done control group with usual care and experimental group with repetitive task training. 2) Primary Outcome measures tool for upper limb function measured by Arm function test, hand function test and sitting balance/ reach. Specific outcome measures UE/reach were motor assessment Scale,Action research arm test, the functional test of Hemi paretic UE. 4) Studies with Hand function measured used nine hole test, box and block test. 5) Sitting balance and reach using sitting equilibrium index and motor assessment scale. 6) SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES: Using Activity of daily living impairment level measured by the Functional Independence Measure( FIM). 8

This review shows significant effect in ADL participation. we applied a qualitative best evidence synthesis. We found limited evidence for improving sitting balance & hand functions and upper limb functions. 11

12 BLUE LINE- Shows significant improvement in Arm functions YELLOW LINE- Shows slight improvement in ADL functions RED LINE Shows no statically improvement in hand functions. Data analyzed in systematic review shows task orientedretraining retraining more effective in acute and sub acute stroke clients than chronic clients. Repetitive task training shows early recovery in activities of daily living But shows not significant improvement in hand strength. 12

13 Limitation of study only English articles reviewed Review focused on intervention in ADL but could not able to focused on Quality of life domain. 13

14 2012/4/2 The above analysis data regarding systematic review of repetitive task oriented training review of repetitive task oriented training shows significant improvement in ADL activities. Task should be more goal oriented. Further research in repetitive task training should be using more specific and meaning task which can be used as functional outcome for which can be used as functional outcome for early recovery. 14
