Memory disturbance after stroke: frequency and associated losses.

D T Wade, V Parker, R Langton Hewer

    International Rehabilitation Medicine
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Stroke survivors showed memory impairments, particularly in immediate logical memory and visual recall, impacting daily functioning. Memory function improved significantly between 3 and 6 months post-stroke.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Cognitive Neuroscience
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Acute stroke survivors often experience cognitive deficits, including memory impairment.
    • Understanding the trajectory of memory recovery is crucial for effective rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess memory function in acute stroke survivors at 3 months post-stroke.
    • To investigate the relationship between memory deficits and functional ability.
    • To evaluate memory recovery between 3 and 6 months post-stroke.

    Main Methods:

    • Memory assessment including digit span, immediate logical memory, and visual recall in 138 acute stroke survivors.
    • Correlation analysis between memory function and activities of daily living (ADL).
    • Longitudinal assessment of memory function at 3 and 6 months.

    Main Results:

    • Digit span was not impaired in the cohort compared to age-matched norms.
    • 29% of patients exhibited poor immediate logical memory, and 14% had impaired visual recall.
    • Poor memory function correlated with lower ADL abilities, independent of age.
    • Significant recovery in immediate logical memory and visual recall was observed between 3 and 6 months.

    Conclusions:

    • Memory deficits, especially in logical and visual recall, are common after acute stroke and impact daily function.
    • Early memory impairments are not necessarily linked to stroke severity but affect functional independence.
    • Memory function shows potential for recovery in the months following a stroke, highlighting the importance of continued monitoring and rehabilitation.
