The return to work of a stroke patient through comprehensive interaction using OSA-Ⅱ and GATB: A case study

Abstract

We conducted an occupational therapy intervention for a patient with paralysis of the dominant hand due to cerebral infarction, utilizing not only functional interventions but also OSA-Ⅱ and GATB, in order to bring about an interaction. After approximately 5 months of intervention, the patient’s paralyzed hand function and use behavior in real life changed beyond MCID, and the patient eventually returned to work. In this case, comprehensive intervention using OSA-Ⅱ and GATB with a view to return to work was effective and led to behavioral change.
