Asha Vas, Anna Luedtke, Eryn Ortiz and 2 others
PMID 37283959WHAT IT FOUND
This scoping review maps existing cognitive rehabilitation programs for adults with mild traumatic brain injury against the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework.
It identifies that most programs target occupation and client factors, providing a structure for OTs to align treatment with functional daily living goals.
Key findings
01The review mapped cognitive training programs to the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework (OTPF) domains to examine the relationship between cognition and daily living tasks.
02The majority of included cognitive rehabilitation programs aligned with the domains of occupation and client factors, followed by performance skills, performance patterns, and context.
03Cognitive rehabilitation tailored to real-life issues and daily tasks is designed to use compensatory and rehabilitative mechanisms to improve function.

What it does not show
The alignment of programs to OTPF domains was based solely on the reviewers' subjective interpretation, not on standardized criteria. The review did not assess the quality or efficacy of the included studies, only their content and focus. The search was limited to English-language publications from 2008 to 2022. As a scoping review, it maps the landscape of interventions but does not determine which treatments work best.
Declared interests
No specific funding sources or conflicts of interest declarations were provided in the supplied text.
The easy way to misread this
Do not interpret this review as evidence that specific cognitive rehabilitation programs are effective. The study maps the content of existing programs to occupational therapy frameworks but does not report on patient outcomes or treatment efficacy.
