Stroke survivors often have impairments that make it difficult for them to function safely in their home environment.
The purpose of this study is to identify occupational performance barriers in the home and describe the subsequent recommendations offered to stroke survivors and their caregivers.
An occupational therapist administered a home safety tool to assess stroke survivors' home environments, determine home safety problems, and provide recommendations.
Among 76 stroke survivors, the greatest problems were indentified in the categories of , , and . Two case studies illustrate the use of the home safety tool with this population.
The home safety tool is helpful in determining the safety needs of stroke survivors living at home. We recommend the use of the home safety tool for occupational therapists assessing the safety of the home environment.
