Abstract EN
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the cognitive impairment on functional status in patients with subacute stroke.
Fifty-two patients with subacute stroke were included in the study.
Mini mental state examination (MMSE) test was used for the evaluation of cognitive status.
Patients were separated into two groups according to their cognitive functions.
Functional follow-up parameters were activities of daily living (ADL), global recovery and ambulation status.
All patients were evaluated on admission to rehabilitation unit, at discharge and 6 months after discharge.
Forty-four patients were completed the study.
Mean age was 66 and 57 years; disease duration on admission was 4,8 and 3,5 months in the cognitively impaired and normal groups, respectively.
Significant improvement was found in terms of functional follow-up parameters in both groups at discharge (P<.05).
Functional follow-up parameters did not show statistically significant difference between the groups.
But community ambulation rate was higher in cognitively normal group at the sixth month visit.
As a result of this study, inpatient rehabilitation was effective both cognitively normal and impaired subacute stroke patients.
