The Effect of Computer Assisted Cognition Rehabilitation WithSpecific Approach and Hierarchial Approach on Cognition, Activity of Daily Living in Persons with Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive function and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) improvement with Traumatic Brain Injury(TBI) and Stroke
patient through Computer Assisted Cognitive Rehabilitation (CACR) program within specific approach and hierarchial approach training program. For this investigation CACR training was
administered to 14 patients diagnosed of TBI and Stroke.
Method: The CACR was given to the subject patient for 1months, 5times a week and each stimulation lasted 30 minutes. Cognitive function and activities of daily living were compared
pre-CACR program with post-CACR program by MMSE and FIM .
Results: Summarizing the results of this investigation;
1. Statistically significant improvement in 8 items of MMSE and 11 items of FIM was found after the application of CACR program training.
2. Cognitive function showed the spastically significant improvement after CACR program within specific approach and hierarchial approach training program
3. Activities of daily living showed the statistically significant improvement after CACR program within specific approach and hierarchial approach especially hierarchial approach
more statistically significant increased than specific approach.
