Abstract

Cognitive impairment is highly prevalent following stroke and has significant functional impact (Tatemichi et al, 1994; Patel et al, 2003). Implementing an early cognitive screening strategy to identify problematic patients and implement interventions should reduce the long-term impact of cognitive deficits on functional recovery (Duits et al, 2008). Stroke cognitive screening can therefore provide invaluable data to improve stroke rehabilitation.
