The aim was to examine the effects of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation of
attention in work-active patients after stroke.
The study included 11 patients
treated as inpatients at the University Rehabilitation Institute, Republic of
Slovenia, who were included in intensive selective attention training four times
a week for 3 months. Each patient was assessed at the initial and the final
rehabilitation stage with the TAP system (Test of Attentional Performance),
alertness, and divided attention tasks. The results indicate a moderate to strong
increase in performance on the divided attention test and a mild effect on the
alertness test. Early cognitive rehabilitation of the attentional system can
contribute toward recovery of divided attention in work-active patients after stroke.
