Occupational Therapy in Complex Patients: a Pilot Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating occupational therapy and Usual care for Complex Patients in Rehabilitation Phase. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
To date, there are no studies that demonstrate that the intervention of Occupational Therapy (OT) in patients considered to be complex, regardless of diagnosis, could improve clinical and functional outcome for the patient. For this reason, the investigators propose one randomized controlled trial that will compare the group receiving the intervention of OT and the control group, to quantify the level of performance and satisfaction in the activities of interest of the patient, identified through the COPM. The hypothesis is that the benefit may be higher, as clinically relevant, in the group of complex patients treated with the proposed intervention of OT compared to those receiving the usual rehabilitation therapy.
