You will need to ask your doctor if any of this is applicable to your stroke rehabilitation. If there is anything like this for stroke it obviously is not public. That is what our damnable stroke associations should be doing for us but we get useless prevention tips and F.A.S.T.
Good luck on getting anything from your doctor.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION:
Traumatic
brain injury results in complex cognitive sequelae. However, clinicians
have difficulty implementing the available evidence. An international
group of researchers and clinicians (known as INCOG) convened to develop
clinical practice guidelines for cognitive rehabilitation posttraumatic
brain injury.
METHODS:
The Guidelines Adaptation and
Development cycle was used to derive the recommendations. Previously
published cognitive rehabilitation recommendations were identified and
tabulated. An expert panel met to select appropriate recommendations.
Afterward, the team enhanced the recommendations by reviewing available
literature. To address shortfalls of previous guidelines, the team
developed decision algorithms incorporating the recommendations based on
inclusion and exclusion criteria of published trials and expert
opinion. The team then prioritized the recommendations for
implementation and developed audit criteria to evaluate adherence to
best practice.
RESULTS:
The team recommends that
individuals have detailed assessments of cognition after resolution of
posttraumatic amnesia. Cognitive assessment and rehabilitation should be
tailored to the patient's neuropsychological profile, premorbid
cognitive characteristics, and goals for life activities and
participation. Clinical algorithms and audit tools to evaluate current
practice are provided.
CONCLUSION:
Cognitive
rehabilitation should be offered to select??? individuals with traumatic
brain injury. These guidelines provide assistance to clinicians who want
to provide evidence-based care.
