Summary

Chronic stroke is a neurological disorder that leads to long-term disability and functional impairments in motor, sensory, cognitive, and speech functions, persisting beyond six months after the stroke incident. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of task- oriented occupational therapy intervention on occupational performance, occupational balance, and quality of life in individuals with chronic stroke. The study included 30 individuals with chronic stroke aged between 18 and 65, who were divided into two groups: the task-oriented occupational therapy intervention group (TOOT) (n=15) and the control group (n=15). The participants in the TOOT group received task-oriented occupational therapy intervention in 30-minute sessions, five days a week, for four weeks, while the control group received routine upper-extremity-based occupational therapy intervention in a hospital setting.
