First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new occupational therapy program called PRO-MAMA for older mothers (70+) who have had a stroke. The program focuses on helping them take part in meaningful activities related to their role as a mother. Fourteen women completed the program, and researchers measured their satisfaction, performance, and wellbeing before and after.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- occupational therapy program (PRO-MAMA)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new way to help older mothers regain meaningful activities and improve their quality of life after a stroke.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, early feasibility study with only 14 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral and may not produce lasting improvements.
