The critical role that awareness deficits play in contributing to rehabilitation outcome and independent functioning of brain injured adults is readily acknowledged by professionals. However, there are inconsistencies the scope what included within concept way which it measured literature. A comprehensive model needed guide development measurement tools interventions. This paper expands upon concepts originally proposed Crosson colleagues [12] proposes a integrates parallel themes cognitive...

Aim: To examine the effects of an awareness training protocol embedded within practice instrumental activities daily living (IADLs) in participants with acquired brain injury on levels self-awareness and functional performance.Methods: This study used a randomized control trial design: 10 moderate-to-severe received six sessions while they performed IADLs (experimental group) same but conventional therapeutic (control group). In experimental group, were asked to predict their performance...

Persons with brain injury frequently demonstrate decreased ability to monitor and apply strategies learned in treatment everyday situations. The aim of this study is refine, explore provide preliminary testing the multicontext approach promoting strategy use across situations increasing self-regulation, awareness functional performance.This used a single-subject design repeated measures pre- post-intervention, data analysed descriptively graphically. Four persons difficulty following...

In this study, models based on quantitative imaging biomarkers of post-stroke structural connectome disruption were used to predict six-month outcomes in various domains. Demographic information and clinical MRIs collected from 40 ischemic stroke subjects (age: 68.1 ± 13.2 years, 17 female, NIHSS: 6.8 5.6). Diffusion-weighted images create lesion masks, which uploaded the Network Modification (NeMo) Tool. The NeMo Tool, using only MRIs, allows estimation at three levels: whole brain,...

Abstract Cognitive perceptual remedial approaches used by occupational therapists in the treatment of adults with brain injury have been criticized because claims that effects are not generalizable. Little information is available, however, can guide therapist directly addressing generalization process. This paper proposes a multicontext approach uses five components identified cognitive psychology literature as being critical to process generalization: (a) use multiple environments, (b)...

Promoting effective strategy use is an integral part of enabling occupational performance; however, there are variations in how strategies defined, discussed, used, and applied therapy practice.Focusing on cognitive strategies, this paper, we define describe their types divide the concept into two dimensions: attributes use. A comprehensive framework for each dimension (attribute use) proposed as a clinical reasoning guide well foundation future research. The frameworks designed to reduce...

Abstract The aim of this work was to quantitatively model cross‐sectional relationships between structural connectome disruptions caused by cerebral infarction and measures clinical performance. Imaging biomarkers 41 ischemic stroke patients (72.0 ± 12.0 years, 20 female) were related their baseline performance in 18 cognitive, physical daily life activity assessments. Individual estimates connectivity disruption gray matter regions computed using the Change Connectivity (ChaCo) score. ChaCo...

The authors developed an 8-week psychoeducational group intervention for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who reported cognitive dysfunction but were not globally impaired on neuropsychological testing. Results of a nonrandomized, uncontrolled pilot study this program in 17 women SLE suggest that metamemory and memory self-efficacy improve after participation. One hundred percent retention throughout the further suggests are willing capable successfully completing program.

We piloted the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA), a performance-based measure of executive function (EF), to establish baseline for at-risk adolescents.Participants were 113 youths ages 16-21 who enrolled at charter school youth returning high after dropping out. administered WCPA and collected demographic information.On average, participants spent 15.9 min on WCPA, made 7.9 errors, followed 4.0 5 possible rules. No ceiling effect was observed in overall accuracy. Participants used...

We compared abilities and strategy use of at-risk youth aged 16-21 yr with those a community sample high school students using performance measure executive function, the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA).We recruited from an alternative for (n = 113) schools in same region 49). collected demographic information administered WCPA to both groups.The group made more errors, used fewer strategies, broke rules than group; however, groups were similar average time planning task completion....

Cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized as a sequela of COVID-19. It unknown how cognition changes and relates to functional gain during inpatient rehabilitation. We administered the Montreal Assessment (MoCA) at admission 77 patients undergoing rehabilitation for COVID-19 in large US academic medical center. Forty-five were MoCA discharge. Functional was assessed by change quality indicator self-care (QI-SC). In full sample, 80.5% exhibited cognitive on admission, which associated...

Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of a novel client-centered cognitive strategy training intervention for people with Parkinson's disease (PD).Materials and methods: This was case series seven PD without dementia but subjective decline. The involved ≥5 treatment sessions at participant's home. Participant acceptance engagement were assessed by Credibility/Expectancy Questionnaire (CEQ), Client Satisfaction (CSQ), enjoyment effort ratings, homework completion. Logistical information...

The aim of this study was to assess awareness performance and accuracy for a task that requires executive functions (EF), among healthy adolescents compare their parent's ratings. Method: Participants: One hundred nine (mean age 15.2 ± 1.86 years) completed the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity (WCPA). discrepancy between self-estimated actual used measure level awareness. participants were divided into high low groups according WCPA median score. also groups. A comparison conducted using...

As people age, their cognitive skills and ability to complete complex instrumental activities of daily living often decline in subtle ways. Older adults who are aware these slight functional changes spontaneously adapt implement strategies maximize performance. On the other hand, older with limited self-awareness less likely adjust performance or initiate compensatory as they may not recognize need do so. This places them at higher risk loss independence. Research on awareness healthy is,...

Anosognosia for spatial neglect (ASN) can be offline or online. Offline ASN is general unawareness of having experienced deficits. Online an awareness deficit underestimating difficulties that likely to occur in upcoming task (anticipatory ASN) have just occurred during the (emergent ASN). We explored relationships among neglect, ASN, anticipatory and emergent ASN. Research Method/Design: Forty-four survivors stroke answered questionnaires assessing online self-awareness problems.
