摘要	Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of occupation-based intervention combined with low-intensity task-oriented training incorporating the tenets of client-centeredness, task-oriented training, and occupation-as-means to intervention for patients with dermatomyositis. Methods: All assessments and intervention sessions were conducted by a licensed occupational therapist at the study site. Results: The intervention consisted of 10 treatment sessions. There were no differences from the pre- to post-intervention on the Barthel Index (BI) and the MRC score. However, there was a trend for improvement in trunk control and certain basic activities of daily living. Conclusion: This research paved the way to evidence-based interventions in occupational therapy for patients with dermatomyositis. Future research based on a group-design study is needed to validate the findings of this case study.
