Abstract
Cognitive
impairment is an important target for rehabilitation as it is common
following stroke, is associated with reduced quality of life and
interferes with motor and other types of recovery interventions.
Cognitive function following stroke was identified as an important, but
relatively neglected area during the first Stroke Recovery and
Rehabilitation Roundtable (SRRR I), leading to a Cognition Working Group
being convened as part of SRRR II. There is currently insufficient
evidence to build consensus on specific approaches to cognitive
rehabilitation. However, we present recommendations on the integration
of cognitive assessments(We don't want lazy assessments, we want recovery protocols.) into stroke recovery studies generally and
define priorities for ongoing and future research for stroke recovery
and rehabilitation. A number of promising interventions are ready to be
taken forward to trials to tackle the gap in evidence for cognitive
rehabilitation. However, to accelerate progress requires that we
coordinate efforts to tackle multiple gaps along the whole translational
pathway.(Who the fuck is going to tackle those gaps? Specific names please or it will fall thru the cracks. We have NO STROKE LEADERSHIP so nobody is making sure a strategy is being followed.)
