Disorders of language, spatial perception, attention, memory, calculation and praxis are a frequent consequence acquired brain damage [in particular, stroke traumatic injury (TBI)] major determinant disability. The rehabilitation aphasia and, more recently, other cognitive disorders is an important area neurological rehabilitation. We report here review the available evidence about effectiveness Given limited number generally low quality randomized clinical trials (RCTs) in this therapeutic...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects the brain, leading to long-term complaints. Studies combining brain abnormalities with objective and subjective consequences are lacking. Long-term structural abnormalities, neurological (neuro)psychological in COVID-19 patients admitted intensive care unit (ICU) or general ward were investigated. The aim was create a multidisciplinary view on impact of severe functioning compare between ICU patients.This multicentre prospective cohort study...
To investigate the prevalence of cognitive complaints after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and relationships between impairments, disability emotional problems.Cognitive were assessed with Checklist for Cognitive Emotional Consequences following stroke (CLCE-24) in 111 persons who visited our outpatient clinic 3 months SAH. Associations functioning, demographic characteristics, problems examined using Spearman correlations linear regression analysis.In this study group, 105 patients (94.6%)...
Little information is available about the course of quality life (QoL) post stroke and how dependency on activities daily living (ADL) influences this course. The aim study was therefore to describe QoL from 2 months up years influence ADL in first week stroke.This a multicenter prospective longitudinal cohort which 368 patients were included data collected at 1 week, months, 6 12 24 stroke. assessment measures health-related (HRQoL) (short stroke-specific Quality Life Scale), emotional...
A large proportion of stroke patients are unable to return work (RTW), although figures vary greatly. total 121 mild-to-moderate patients, who had a paid job at the time their were included (a) quantify RTW and satisfaction one-year post-stroke (using Utrecht Scale for Evaluation Rehabilitation-Participation) (b) determine factors predicting post-stroke, based on stroke-related, personal neuropsychological variables. Half not in (28%) or working less (22%) than pre-stroke. Ninety percent...
A cardiac arrest can lead to hypoxic brain injury, which affect all levels of functioning.To investigate 1-year outcome and the pattern recovery after surviving a arrest.This was multicenter, prospective longitudinal cohort study with 1 year follow-up (measurements 2 weeks, 3 months, year). On function level, physical/cardiac (New York Heart Association Classification), cognition (Cognitive Log [Cog-log], Cognitive Failures Questionnaire), emotional functioning (Hospital Anxiety Depression...
Objective: To provide recommendations for the successful implementation of Assistive Technology (AT) in cognitive rehabilitation by investigating attitudes towards AT professionals, individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) and their caregivers two exploratory studies.
To identify trajectories of physical and psychosocial health-related quality life (HRQoL) from two months to one-year post stroke determine the factors that are associated with trajectory membership.Multicenter prospective cohort study in which 351 patients were followed up at 2, 6, 12 stroke. Latent class growth mixture modeling was used HRQoL. Multinomial regression analyses performed predict membership. Potential predictors demographic, stroke-related, psychological factors.Four...
Background and Purpose— The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is nowadays recommended for the screening of poststroke cognitive impairment. However, little known about temporal evolution MoCA-assessed cognition after stroke. objective this study was to examine pattern overall domain-specific at 2 6 months stroke using MoCA identify patient groups risk impairment Methods— Prospective cohort in which 324 patients were administered post defined as MoCA<26. Differences rates between...
A minority of patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) experience a persistent symptom complex also known as post-concussion syndrome. Explanations for this syndrome are still lacking.To investigate if the fear avoidance model, including catastrophizing thoughts and behaviour, poses possible biopsychosocial explanation lingering symptoms delay in recovery after (TBI) special focus on mTBI.Cross-sectional study.48 TBI, which 31 mTBI, had (mean time since 48.2 months); 92% entire...
