Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of occupational therapy based on International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) on activities of daily living of patients with hemiplegia after stroke. Methods From May to November, 2013, 60 patients with hemiplegia after stroke were randomly divided into observation group (n=30) and control group (n=30). Both groups received routine treatment, while the control group received routine occupational therapy and the observation group received occupational therapy based on ICF. They were assessed with modified Barthel Index before and 40 days after treatment. Results The scores of items of MBI improved after treatment in both groups (t>14.86, P<0.001), and improved more in the observation group than in the control group (t>18.65, P<0.001). Conclusion The occupational therapy based on ICF can further improve the activities of daily living of patients with hemiplegia after stroke.
