Abstract
Purpose: The objective of our research study was to introduce error augmentation as a stroke rehabilitation intervention to occupational therapy. We also wanted to provide occupational therapy practitioners with a detailed overview of evidence-based research on error augmentation and demonstrations of how this concept can be applied in a stroke rehabilitation setting. Design: We created a pilot educational video that demonstrated four error augmentation techniques occupational therapy practitioners could implement in stroke rehabilitation. These intervention methods addressed common self-care and functional mobility activities for patients recovering from a stroke. We recruited occupational therapy practitioners who currently practice in the United States and work with post-stroke patients. Participants were recruited through a recruitment flier, which was posted to Facebook and the AOTA’s community research forum. In addition, participants were asked to view the pilot educational video and then provide feedback of the video by completing a survey. Results: Six licensed and registered occupational therapists participated in our study, all of which reported that they were unfamiliar with the concept of error augmentation prior to participating in this research study. Also, all six participants stated they would like to learn more about error augmentation as a stroke rehabilitation intervention. All participants reported that they are likely or very likely to implement error augmentation methods into their current practice after participating in this research study. Conclusion: We found that our educational video demonstrating error augmentation techniques introduced the concept to occupational therapy and provided practitioners with an evidence-based resource regarding the concept. We propose that further research utilize larger sample sizes and randomized control trials. Based on the survey of participant input and current literature, error augmentation may be a beneficial intervention that has the potential to be used in multiple occupational therapy settings.
