The aim of this scoping review was to review and assess recent studies on the efficacy of home-based occupational therapy interventions for adults post-stroke. The number of efficacy studies is limited. The few studies available suggest that occupational therapy delivered in home settings may improve outcomes for stroke patients. There is also limited use of occupation-based assessments, interventions, and outcome measures in studies addressing home-based occupational therapy. Methodologies should be improved to include contexts, caregiver training, and self-efficacy. Further high-quality studies are needed on the efficacy home-based occupational therapy services.
