Purpose: To examine evidence-based nontraditional and home-based interventions and their efficacy for use in individuals with MS to improve performance in their daily activities.
Materials And Methods: A search of five databases including PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, OT Seeker, and Ovid Medline produced 924 research articles. Thirty-two articles were selected for full-text review, of which 15 were included in this systematic review.
Inclusion Criteria: Articles were level 2B or higher evidence, had a minimum of 19 participants with MS, addressed ADLs or body functions supporting ADL performance, and were published since 2010.
Exclusion Criteria: Articles not written in English and not identified as nontraditional or home-based programming.
Results: The review uncovered strong evidence for the use of the nontraditional interventions of vestibular rehabilitation, self-management, yoga, musical production, and ELEVIDA to improve ADL performance in individuals with MS. Strong evidence supported the use of home-based programs that included cognitive behavioral therapy, cooling suits, manual dexterity, strengthening, vestibular rehabilitation, and physical activity.
Conclusions: High levels of evidence support the use of nontraditional or home-based interventions to improve ADL performance in clients with MS. Innovation and technology continue to expand the occupational therapist's toolbox of interventions.

Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is an evidence-based intervention that improves event-free survival in patients with cardiac conditions, yet <27% of all eligible patients use CR in the United States. CR is traditionally delivered in clinic-based settings where implementation barriers abound. Innovative nontraditional program designs and strategies are needed to support widespread CR uptake.

: People with Alzheimer's disease and dementia in general benefit from home-based care as demonstrated via their better quality of life, increased lifespan, and delayed disease progression. Since currently nearly half of the dementia care is being provided by informal and unpaid caregiving, the health, wellbeing and quality of life of informal dementia caregivers is extremely important. : We used a systematic review process with searches based upon the six elements from the "Quality of Life Scale for Informal Carers of Older Adults" with additional items on traditional and non-traditional caregiving ideologies, as well as caregivers' experiences.
