Abstract

Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide; Stroke remains the second-leading cause of death and the third- leading cause of death and disability combined (as expressed by disability-adjusted life years lost - DALYs) in the world; the incidence of stroke is 150-200/100.000 individuals/ year. One of every seven individuals suffers from a stroke in their lifetime, often resulting in physical impairments that impact an individual’s ability to perform daily activities. Motor impairments after stroke are often persistent and disabling, and women are less likely to recover and show poorer functional outcomes. Rehabilitation assistive devices are increasingly integrated into clinics to regain motor function after stroke. The devices fall into devices designed to compensate for lost skills (i.e., assistive devices). Assistive devices are an integral component of occupational therapy interventions in stroke cases. These devices compensate for physical limitations, promote mobility, and support engagement in meaningful occupations. This abstract explores a case study of the application and benefits of incorporating assistive devices in occupational therapy interventions for stroke survivors, and further research on the application of this tool has not been developed much in occupational therapy in Indonesia in the future. Additionally, the abstract highlights the importance of individualized assessment using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and selecting appropriate assistive devices based on the patient’s specific needs and goals. Furthermore, in this case, study, this successful assistive device can assist in improving functional outcomes and promoting independence in stroke patients.
