Abstract
  • Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA), also known as strokes, are the leading cause of neurological impairment in adults in the world. As a result, stroke treatments have evolved to reduce stroke-related disabilities in patients. The current standard of care includes mechanical thrombectomies for patients who qualify. Occupational therapy (OT) practitioners and other rehabilitation professionals are skilled at restoring function by adapting tasks and environments and remediating skills lost due to stroke. However, the role of OT practitioners in the care of post-thrombectomy patients is not well documented in the literature. This narrative review discusses the frequency and timing of OT services, as well as potential interventions used by OT practitioners with post-thrombectomy patients. Suggestions for future research, limitations of current literature, and limitations of the present paper are discussed.
