The sequelae produced by a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) have an impact on occupational performance and restrict the person's participation in their occupational roles. C. is a 31-year-old young adult who, after having suffered an ischemic stroke, enters an inpatient rehabilitation center for patients with neurological injury and receives occupational therapy treatment. From this area, an approach is made based on the planning and implementation of person-centered interventions, establishing short and medium-term objectives in a collaborative manner. The effectiveness of these interventions were measured using specific evaluation tools to document the changes produced between hospital admission and discharge.
This case report exposes the implementation of these approaches in C.'s rehabilitation process, in which she managed to improve her occupational performance and increase her participation in significant occupations.
