Effects of the CO-OP Approach on Occupational Performance and Executive Function in Adults With Stroke

It is an assessment tool used to evaluate individuals' activity performance and satisfaction levels, and to identify problems encountered in daily life through a semi-structured interview. In this assessment, the individual rates their occupations in terms of performance and importance. In the first stage, problems are identified; in the next stage, the individual is asked to rate the importance of the identified occupations on a scale from 1 to 10. In the final stage, the individual selects the five most important activities and rates both performance and satisfaction for these activities on a scale from 1 to 10. Higher scores indicate higher activity performance and satisfaction.

It is a performance-based observational rating scale used to evaluate the actual performance of activities selected by the individual. It is used together with the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to assess the quality of activity performance. The scale is scored from 1 to 10, where a score of 1 indicates that the individual is unable to perform the activity, and a score of 10 indicates that the activity is completed successfully. The activities identified in the COPM are performed without any verbal or physical guidance.

It is an assessment tool that evaluates the individual's need for assistance while performing simple daily tasks. It examines the execution of four essential instrumental activities of daily living required for self-care and independent living: simple cooking, telephone use, medication management, and bill payment. The test assesses the ability to meet executive function components in all four tasks: (1) task initiation, (2) task execution, and (3) task completion. The level of cueing required to support task performance is recorded on a five-point scale: 0 = no cueing needed, 1 = verbal guidance, 2 = gestural or physical cueing, 3 = direct verbal assistance, 4 = physical assistance, 5 = the examiner performs the task. The scoring range is 0-25 for each task, with a total score ranging from 0 to 100 across all four tasks. Higher scores indicate greater difficulty in executive functioning.

This scale is designed to evaluate the quality of life after stroke as perceived by patients themselves or their caregivers. It consists of 8 subscales and 59 items. Each item is scored using a 5-point Likert scale based on the level of difficulty experienced during the past week. Scores for each domain range from 0 to 100. In addition, the scale includes a single-item visual analog scale from 0 to 100 to assess perceived recovery after stroke (0 = no recovery, 100 = full recovery). Higher scores indicate better function and less impact of stroke.
