Abstract

Date Presented 4/9/2016

The purpose of this study was to investigate current occupational therapy practices of home exercise programs (HEPs) for neurological injuries. Although participants articulated the clinical reasoning for a HEP, dosage and content are not in alignment with current evidence, and clinical practice guidelines need revisions.
