Abstract

Date Presented 4/17/2015

Outcome instruments frequented by hand and upper-extremity rehabilitation occupational therapists (OTs) were identified over a 16-mo period, yielding 7,267 potentially relevant publications and 18 instruments. Results reveal focus on body function and activities of daily living (ADLs) and underevaluation in areas of participation and environment.
