To complete a systematic review to identify evidence of the effectiveness of informal caregiver training with functional mobility tasks for patients with neurological diagnoses routinely completed by physical therapists (PTs). Databases searched: PubMed, PEDro, CINAHL, Web of Science, Proquest Health and Medical, and Scopus. Authors included studies with adult patients requiring assistance with functional mobility due to a neurological diagnosis, with the care provided by informal caregivers. Authors excluded studies with paid caregivers, or patient diagnoses of human immunodeficiency virus, dementia, or cancer. Data extracted included type of study, methodological quality review (using Downs and Black scale), number of subjects, outcome measures, interventions, and main results. Of 2372 total articles screened, 36 full-text articles were analyzed, with seven articles identified for inclusion in the review. All studies showed variability in number of subjects, methods, interventions, outcome measures, and results. Four of the studies showed positive results from the training of informal caregivers. While there is initial evidence that training informal caregivers in physical mobility tasks may help to lessen caregiver burden, further investigation is warranted. The topics typically addressed by PTs with informal caregiver training, such as transfers and ambulation, have not been extensively studied in the literature.Implications for rehabilitationPhysical therapists routinely complete training for caregivers on functional mobility tasks, with some initial evidence of the effectiveness of this training.Training for informal caregivers assisting individuals with neurological conditions has the potential to reduce injuries and decrease caregiver burden.Rehabilitation professionals should implement effective training methods for caregivers, resulting in a safer home environment for individuals with neurological diagnoses.
