Abstract
Many individuals post-stroke have difficulty identifying if or how they can continue performing meaningful daily life tasks. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of metacognitive strategy training (MCST) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in chronic stroke. A case series design was used. Participants completed 12 intervention sessions over 4 weeks consisting of 20 min of tDCS and 45 min of MCST to address occupational performance goals. Feasibility outcomes of acceptability and safety/tolerability were evaluated and measures of occupational performance were administered pre- and post-intervention. Participants perceived the intervention to be highly acceptable and relevant to their needs. Large improvements were observed for performance and satisfaction with goals trained (Hedge's g = 2.07 and 2.11, respectively) and untrained (Hedge's g = 1.25 and 1.43, respectively) within the intervention. An intervention combining MCST with tDCS was feasible to administer and positively received by stakeholders; further research is warranted.
期刊介绍:
The aim of OTJR: Occupation, Participation and Health is to advance knowledge and science in occupational therapy and related fields, nationally and internationally, through the publication of scholarly literature and research. The journal publishes research that advances the understanding of occupation as it relates to participation and health.
