ABSTRACT

Objective: This study was conducted to develop guidelines that will be used as a recommendation when occupational therapists intervene in a home modification for the walking of disabled people with hemiplegia. Methods: Five experts conducted a Delphi Study. The first survey was conducted using open questions, the second survey was conducted using 4-point closed questions through a survey tool using the results of the first survey and a prior study. The third survey provided the subjects the opportunity to revise their opinions. Results: As the results of the study, a total of 96 items were selected, excluding 31 items with a minimum score of CVI 0.78 points or lower and a convergence of 0.50 points or higher. When the contents of each item were divided into components, 49 were found to show functional support, 34 were easy to move and access, 23 were accessible, and nine regarded the functions and efficiency of the space. Conclusion: These guidelines contain specific details necessary to conduct a home modification intervention, which will be used actively in community-based occupational therapy.
