Lack of understanding of physical rehabilitation strategies Insufficient research on psychosocial interventions specifically for children with TBI No evidence supporting the use of occupational therapy in TBI recovery Excessive focus on psychosocial interventions rather than medical treatments
5. Which occupational therapy intervention has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety in children with pediatric TBI? Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) Virtual reality sessions Play-based therapy Mindfulness-based interventions
