“…After screening by title and abstract, the majority of the studies (n = 3,528) did not meet the predefined criteria for the type of study, type of participants, type of intervention, or type of outcome measures. Six full-text articles were retrieved for detailed evaluation (Agre, Rodriquez, & Sperling, 1989;Aldehag, Jonsson, & Ansved, 2005;Klein, Whyte, Esquenazi, Keenan, & Costello, 2002;Rudanko, 1995;Sandin-Aldehag & Jonsson, 2003;Young, 1989).…”

“…Four of the six studies were excluded because either the type of study (Young, 1989) or the type of outcome measures did not meet the predefined criteria (Agre et al, 1989;Klein et al, 2002;Rudanko, 1995) (Figure). The article by Young (1989) reviewed the late effects of poliomyelitis and the abstract referred to guidelines for occupational therapy assessment and treatment.…”

A systematic review was conducted to assess the evidence base of occupational therapy for adults with neuromuscular diseases. A comprehensive search for controlled and uncontrolled studies was performed in the Cochrane, MEDLINE, CINHAL, and EMBASE databases. After screening 3,534 titles and abstracts, six articles were retrieved for more detailed evaluation. Only two studies met all of the predefined criteria and were subjected to methodological assessment. These studies provide indications for the efficacy of hand training in muscle diseases. There is a lack of scientific evidence regarding the question of whether patients with neuromuscular diseases are better capable of participating in meaningful activities and roles through occupational therapy. Recommendations for future research are given.

“…Significant retinal nerve fiber layer loss results in persistent vision impairment and also near blindness. [ 8 ] Most daily living tasks are greatly hampered by the large central scotoma, which extends 15–40° from the central fixation point. The patient will need to adopt eccentric viewing (EV) and consciously fixate to the side of the object of interest if they have a central scotoma.…”

“…[ 6 ] Unfortunately, in current technology, there are no proven treatments to prevent or reverse optic neuropathy in LHON. [ 4 , 7 ] There is very limited information available in literature;[ 8 , 9 ] therefore, this study aims to assess the preference of low vision devices (LVDs) among patients with LHON and analyze the improvement in their visual acuity.…”

Purpose: This study was conducted to estimate the visual acuity improvement in patients with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) with the help of low vision devices (LVDs) and to analyze the types of distant and near LVDs prescribed to the patients with LHON. Methods: A retrospective case review of 74 subjects with LHON who were referred to a low vision care clinic at a tertiary eye center from 2016 to 2019 were recruited. The reason for referral was assessed from the patients’ electronic medical records (EMR). Demographic data of the patients, visual acuity status, type of LVD prescribed, and visual acuity improvement with LVD were documented. Results: Out of 74 patients, 91.9% ( n = 68) were male, and the median age of patients was 21 (16) years. A 4× monocular telescope was prescribed for 2.7% of patients ( n = 2) and SEETV binocular telescope for 1.4% ( n = 1) was advised for distance. The most commonly prescribed near LVD was the 6× cutaway stand magnifier for 22 patients (29.7%). Four patients (5.4%) were prescribed with Notex, the most commonly prescribed non-optical LVD. Niki CCTV (12.2%, n =9) was the most commonly prescribed assistive device. The subjects were divided into three groups based on age: group I consisted of those <18 years of age, group II 18–40 years, and group III >40 years for the interpretation of visual improvement. There was a statistically significant improvement (group I: P < 0.001, group II: P < 0.0001, group III: P < 0.003) in near vision with help of LVDs in all three groups. Conclusion: The use of LVDs and rehabilitation can help patients with LHON to lead a better life and will be more beneficial.
