Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to find the combined effects of restorative and compensatory cognitive rehabilitation techniques in mild cognitive impairment after stroke.

Detailed Description

Stroke is a prevalent medical neurological condition that often results in cognitive impairments, particularly in the domain of executive functions. Cognitive impairment has a significant impact on executive function in stroke subjects. Cognitive impairment on the stroke survivor exist on any single domain such as attention, spatial ability, language and executive ability more frequently than the multiple domains.

Cognitive training has been shown to be beneficial for rehabilitation of patients with cognitive impairment, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

The combination of restorative and compensatory rehabilitation techniques is beneficial for gaining control over cognitive rehabilitation techniques will improve executive functions. The retention effects evaluated additionally will add a broad insight in this regard. It will improve the learning power of brain through neural plasticity. This leads to restoration of everyday functioning. This study aims to investigate the effects of two distinct rehabilitation approaches on the executive functions of stroke survivors with MCI. Understanding how these rehabilitation strategies impact cognitive recovery is essential for individuals living with post-stroke cognitive impairments.

compensatory and restorative rehabilitation techniques in stroke patients

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

compensatory and restorative rehabilitation techniques

Intervention Type: OTHER

compensatory and restorative rehabilitation techniques Frequency: 10 reps 2-3 times/week for 3 consecutive weeks then evaluation of the effects.

Continue the same techniques for 3 more weeks and then evaluate the retention effects of restorative and compensatory rehabilitation techniques will be evaluated by 9th week.

Traditional cognitive Rehabilitation training

Naming words Counting numbers backwards Spell the word backwards

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional cognitive rehabilitation training

Intervention Type: OTHER

Naming words ( ask patient to name food, states, family members) Counting numbers backwards, backward counting of days and months) Spell the word backwards, remembering a piece of information Frequency: 10 reps 2-3 times/week for 3 consecutive weeks then evaluation of the effects.

Continue the same techniques for 3 more weeks and then evaluate the retention effects of restorative and compensatory rehabilitation techniques will be evaluated by 9th week.
