Abstract

Background: Our world is unfortunately facing a huge number of stroke. Attention, response control and activities of daily living (ADL) are important cognitive functions affected by stroke. In line with this explanation, we aimed to investigate the effect of RehaCom rehabilitation software on ADL, attention and response control in chronic stroke patients with damage to middle and anterior cerebral arteries.

Method: For selecting participants, among chronic stroke patients who referred to our special rehabilitation clinic for patients with stroke, fifty patients selected. Participants were assigned to control (n = 25) and experimental (n = 25) groups. The experimental group was compared with the control group before and after using RehaCom (ten 45-min sessions in five weeks).

Results: There is a significant enhancement in ADL, attention and response control scores in the experimental group compared with the control group. In fact, treatment with RehaCom significantly improved the score of all studied variables in chronic stroke patients.

Conclusions: In conclusion, RehaCom cognitive rehabilitation software has improvement effect on ADL, attention and response control in patients with chronic stroke. Our study reveals a new information about the efficacy of computerized training in the rehabilitation of stroke patients.

Keywords: ADL; Attention; Cognitive rehabilitation; RehaCom; Response control; Stroke.
