Clinical Trial Summary

One of the most common complications in stroke patients is cognitive impairment. Cognitive impairment affects a large part of the life of stroke patients. However, the relationship between cognitive impairment and fear of falling in stroke patients has not been investigated in any study yet. Various treatment approaches have been developed to improve cognitive function. While some of these approaches focus on improving cognitive function, others aim to reach the maximum functional level with various compensation methods taught to the patient in the current cognitive situation. As a result of cognitive interventions, stroke patients' participation in daily life, adherence to treatment and quality of life increase. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of cognitive interventions on motor performance, balance and fear of falling. This study will contribute to the literature by investigating these effects of cognitive rehabilitation.


Description:

Participants will be randomized into two groups as control and experimental groups. The control group will receive traditional rehabilitation intervention, while the experimental group will receive additional cognitive intervention to traditional rehabilitation. Two groups will be evaluated before and after the study. Participants' motor performance, balance and fear of falling will be determined by evaluation criteria.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Montreal Cognitive Assessment Developed to evaluate mild cognitive impairments, Montreal Cognitive Assessment assesses different cognitive abilities including executive functions, visuospatial skills, memory, language, attention concentration, abstract thinking, calculation and orientation. It takes about 10 minutes to administer and the highest total score that can be obtained from the test is 30. Accordingly, scores of 21 and above are considered normal. a day before the study start
