3. 27. Executive dysfunctions in elderly persons with mild stroke

   Författare :Marie Cederfeldt; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :stroke; Cognitive dysfunction; EFPT; Elderly; Executive dysfunction; Instrumental Activities of Daily Life; Mild stroke; Personal Activities of Daily Life; Translation;

   Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the performance of personal activities of daily living (P-ADL) related to cognitive and executive dysfunctions in elderly patients with mild stroke in the acute care and after 12 months, and to evaluate the instrument Executive Function Performance Test (EFPT) in persons with mild stroke. Methods: In the first study elderly patients with stroke (n = 60) referred to geriatric rehabilitation were included. LÄS MER

4. 28. Registry-based studies of return to work after stroke - part of the work after stroke study (WASS)
