Improving Access to Community-based Rehabilitation After Stroke: Interventions and Determinants 1183

Thursday, October 30, 2025
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM  
Location:  ROOM: Private Dining Room #6 >>> DIRECTIONS Third Floor >>> From the Main Elevator Bank, proceed right and then right again after the stairs. PDR #6 is located at the end of the corridor on the left.
This symposium will present findings on factors associated with use of physical and occupational therapy (PT&OT) in the community for stroke survivors enrolled in the COMPASS study. The COMPASS study was the first pragmatic trial to evaluate the effect of transitional care management versus usual care on improving stroke survivors’ function and outcomes. We will present findings on the effect of this care model on use of community-based PT&OT. We will then share our findings on the clinical-, hospital-, and community-level factors that are predictive of PT&OT use and on important social and behavioral determinants that are also associated with receipt of therapy services. Recommendations for future research to promote more appropriate and timely care for stroke survivors and examples of promising interventions will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the effect of transitional care models on use of community-based PT&OT after stroke.
  • Identify characteristics of patients, including social and behavioral determinants, that are associated with likelihood of PT&OT use.
  • Identify hospital and community-level factors associated with community-based PT&OT after stroke.
  • Identify gaps in our understanding of factors influencing the use of community-based PT&OT after stroke and future directions for research.
