Dual-Task Stroop Paradigm for Detecting Cognitive Deficits in High-Functioning Stroke Patients
Published on: December 16, 2022
Abstract:
Rehabilitative interventions must be based on remaining cognitive and physical abilities while recognizing the presence of disabilities. Rehabilitation goals should be to provide the least restrictive environment using the least restrictive intervention, thus promoting independence. The use of behavioral strategies that support remaining abilities and compensate for cognitive deficits is recommended as a rehabilitative approach. The behavioral approach requires an assessment of the ADL steps, the range of activities a person is able to complete, and the kinds of caregiver assistance needed.
