I'm pretty sure that my cognitive reserve was all used up in just getting me to survive my stroke. I have to rebuild it with NO help from any protocol to tackle my chances of getting dementia.
The Role of Cognitive Reserve in the Choice of Upper Limb Rehabilitation Treatment After Stroke. Robotic or Conventional? A Multicenter Study of the Don Carlo Gnocchi Foundation

Abstract
Rehabilitation
is essential after stroke and, besides conventional rehabilitation,
technological one has had big growth in clinical practice. There is a
growing interest in cognitive reserve (CR) that summarizes pre-morbid
life of each patient and has a key role in a sudden change of individual
lifestyle (for example, after a stroke). Our preliminary data suggested
that CR impacts on motor rehabilitation outcome. We hypothesized that
CR may help in the complex choice between technological or conventional
rehabilitation. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the CR
influences the motor outcome in patients after stroke treated with
conventional or robotic therapy and if CR may address towards one
treatment rather than another.
