Closing the Gap: Early Intervention for Cognitive Disability After Stroke
Individuals with cognitive impairments after stroke sustain significant disability in their
daily tasks, and account for a significant proportion of stroke-related healthcare costs. The
proposed study examines a novel intervention, strategy training, that shows promise for
helping individuals with stroke-related cognitive impairments reduce disability in daily
tasks, which may lead to reductions in healthcare costs. We predict that strategy training
will result in significantly greater independence 6 months after stroke compared to an
attention control intervention, and that strategy training may reduce cognitive impairments.
