PB 23 Factors predicting global cognitive ability 6month after stroke – preliminary results from the Phys-Stroke trial

Stroke is one of the most frequent causes of chronic and often severe language and motor impairments. Moreover, stroke increases the risk of developing cognitive impairments or even dementia over time (Pendlebury and Rothwell, 2009). Although recent studies investigated predictors of cognitive decline after stroke, several questions remain. In particular, it needs to be clarified whether therapies applied during the rehabilitation phase may reduce or even prevent cognitive decline.
