An article from Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center’s (RLA) Occupational Therapy Stroke Team was recently published in the OT Practice Magazine (April 2024). The article focusses on the protocol the team has implemented to assess and address sensory deficits for stroke survivors. Stroke affects a significant number of people in the United States each year, leading to disabilities and sensory impairments. These impairments make it challenging for stroke survivors to perform everyday activities independently. Even if motor function is restored, sensory deficits can result in learned nonuse of the affected limb and reduced participation in activities. The Occupational Therapy at RLA uses assessments like the Nottingham Sensory Assessment and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure to guide treatment plans. The center also utilizes the SENSe protocol, which focuses on retraining sensory discrimination abilities. Electrical stimulation with functional activity engagement is another intervention used to address sensory impairments. Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center is committed to empowering stroke survivors and helping them regain sensation in their affected limb, enabling them to return to everyday activities. #rollwithrancho #ranchorehab #rehabiswhatwedo
