Interventions
Task-oriented training
Participants included in the experimental group will underwent an 8-week TOT intervention, administered twice weekly, with each session lasting 45 minutes. Within this framework, the intervention will comprise sessions involving meaningful and repetitive activities tailored to both the patient and their specific context. The occupations will be selected by each participant through the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COMP) tool in the initial assessment. The activities were randomly ordered and focused on the reconstruction of complete tasks. To support task segmentation, a range of custom-designed materials will be employed, alongside therapeutic tools and materials such as therapeutic putty, TheraBand, and others commonly used in physical rehabilitation interventions. Throughout the intervention, participants will receive positive reinforcement that will fade over the time to prevent unnecessary dependency.
Standar medical care and leaflet fatigue management
Participants included in the control group will continue with their usual treatment and will receive a pamphlet containing information on fatigue management.
