Dr. Aishwarya Swaminathan

Abstract :

AIM, OBJECTIVES: To review Activities of Daily Living (ADL) evaluation and treatment practices in Occupational Therapy (OT) researches. METHODS: The MeSH terms “Activities of Daily Living (ADL)” were used to procure articles pertaining to the ADL evaluation and treatment practices in OT researches from online databases. The articles published in Indian Journal of Occupational Therapy (IJOT) over the years 2004– 2014 were collected from the ICMR–NIC Centre’s IndMED database. RESULTS : In IJOT 13 articles dealt with ADL in last 10 years. The number of articles dealing with ADL in IJOT, in comparison with other international journals is small.CONCLUSION: More research studies are required in India in this area as it is one of the core areas of the domain of OT. Having more documented research in this area shall help in differentiating OT research from the researches from other fields and in enhancing credibility on a global platform.
