Cognitive oriented strategy training augmented rehabilitation (COSTAR) for ischemic stroke: a pilot exploratory randomized controlled study.
Conclusion: Negligible findings may be attributed to an inadvertent treatment group equivalency. Further, the research design did not allow for adequate measurement of the effect of each intervention on participants' ability to generalize learned skills. Implications for rehabilitation Stroke rehabilitation is largely based upon the principles of task-specific training, which is associated with improvements in upper extremity motor performance; however, TST requires a heavy dosage and lacks generalization to untrained activities. Cognitive strategy use has been associated with improved generalization of treatment to untrai...

Clinical provision of compensatory visual training after neurological injury: example of a multisite outpatient program.
Conclusions: Our data suggest that visual retraining is feasible in this clinical outpatient setting. Implications for rehabilitation This program of visual retraining was provided to individuals with visual impairment (e.g., hemianopia) and visual perceptual impairment (e.g., unilateral spatial neglect) as a result of neurological injury. In this outpatient program, visual rehabilitation was feasible and appeared to improve outcomes among a heterogeneous clinical population. Fundamental characteristics of visual compensatory training at this program included repetitive practice of adaptive scanning behaviors across multip...
