Cognitive predictors of a performance-based measure of instrumental activities of daily living following stroke

What the fuck good does this prediction do for getting survivors recovered? Survivors don't want predictions of failure to recover. you tell them EXACT STROKE PROTOCOLS LEADING TO 100% RECOVERY. Anything less is useless.

Abstract: 

Study investigated the relationship between objectively measured cognitive domains/executive functions and performance on an objective measure of instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs) following a stroke. Fifty-two stroke survivors completed assessments of immediate memory; visuospatial/constructional skills; language; attention; delayed memory; executive functions (i.e., inhibition and flexibility, concept-formation and problem-solving, abstract thinking, deductive thinking, and verbal abstraction); and a performance-based measure of IADLs (UCSD Performance-based Skills Assessment [UPSA]). The results indicated significant correlations between the UPSA and immediate memory, visuospatial/constructional skills, language, delayed memory, and executive functions (i.e., concept formation and problem-solving, flexibility of thinking, and verbal abstraction). A hierarchical multiple regression, controlling for age, severity of stroke, side of stroke, and depressive symptoms and including the cognitive measures individually significantly associated with the UPSA, explained approximately 62 percent of the variance in overall UPSA performance. This regression demonstrated that only language significantly predicted UPSA total score, in the context of multiple variables. Cognitive functioning is significantly associated with IADL functioning post-stroke and considering multiple domains of cognitive functioning together largely explains the performance of IADLs.
