Suwan et al. (2026) studied Stroke (n=7). Occupation-based practice (OBP) service delivery model was evaluated on Occupational performance, goal attainment, and quality of life (p=.02). An occupation-based practice service delivery model for community-based stroke rehabilitation was practical, feasible, and associated with improved outcomes (P=.02).
